The idea of "meta-games" of user generated content is compelling. The game of the future is a platform for a thousand games. What if you allowed programming into the mix?
The insight of roblox et al. As a digital playground where the gaming aspect is secondary is interesting. It was kind of inevitable since it's not like we're giving them actual playgrounds or letting them go to them on their own, and with the way we build schools it's unlikely they're going to be able to walk from their house to the house of someone they met at school because it could be several miles away across a six Lane stroad.
I wonder if this suggests that somewhere in between a purely social focused computer program like a chat program and a game their sits stuff like this. I also wonder to what degree they will be interested in more traditional games. I'm sure that Niche still exists, but maybe a 5-year-old won't be interested yet
From this we should figure out what they want and build an on exploitative fully open source self-hostible version of these meta games for them to use instead
Still too big, and it used to be better. I don't know where on Lemmy I would go for nerding out about the Vikings yet and we need to get that stuff established
Get a seedbox. It's 100% safe
