Great points, thedogles! Boom DAO definitely sounds like an interesting approach to tackle gaming on the IC. Here are some thoughts:
- Gaming as Onboarding Tool: Absolutely, engaging games can attract non-technical users and introduce them to the IC and blockchain concepts. A rising tide lifts all boats, just as you mentioned.
- Non-Wallet/ICP Play: A solution that allows anyone to play without a wallet or ICP upfront would be a game-changer (pun intended). Frictionless onboarding is key to mass adoption.
- Community & Collaboration: A DAO focused on gaming development fosters collaboration and resource sharing, which can lead to stronger projects. Boom DAO’s community-driven approach seems promising.
Some additional considerations:
- Technical Challenges: Developing high-quality games on the IC still has some technical hurdles to overcome compared to established platforms. Boom DAO could play a role in addressing these challenges.
- Marketing & User Acquisition: Even with a frictionless experience, attracting a large casual gamer audience requires effective marketing strategies to reach beyond the existing crypto community.
Overall, Boom DAO has the potential to be a significant force in bringing more users and developers to the IC gaming space. Here’s to a successful project!
P.S. Obsidian Tears sounds intriguing! Would love to hear more about your classic-inspired game.
