we should fund dev of an indie game like fez instead and stream and make a film about it and watch it earn a cult following in real time

I'm a strong "For" on this prop. I think the crossroads of Nouns and games is one of the areas that can be ultra fruitful in many ways in the years ahead, so I think laying the groundwork with this sort of experimentation now makes a lot of sense. I'm desperate for it even. Is this the perfect gaming prop? No. Is it good enough to start breaking ground here? Yes imo. "Aye" here is my two gwei.

I would love to support a game-related proposal but this approach does not work for me.
I don't quite know what an exciting gaming prop looks like, but i think the guiding star should be to go narrow and focus on quality, not broad/quantity. Forget about distribution or proliferation for a moment and just make an incredible (indie) game.
(Something Fez-like comes to mind as directionally interesting.)

My thesis as a delegate is: “Nouns has a unique role in the ecosystem as a gathering place around public goods.”

DAOs should be bottom-up, not top-down. Nouns should not fund a Nouns game publisher. Instead, Nouns should use the excellent existing mechanisms (like Prop House that the proposal references) to let ideas get funded in a more distributed fashion.

I would support a subset of this prop, like the CC0 game asset toolkit. But right now this prop feels like everything but the kitchen sink. It should be broken up into separate smaller proposals, so that Nouns can decide on each piece and do what it does best.

Also not a fan of the proposal's framing of Nouns gaming efforts as an "investment". Nouns should be funding public goods that benefit the ecosystem without any expectation of return. Nouns should not be trying to make gaming investments - there are many existing sources of capital for that.

feel similarly to yitong, krel, and bower. low quality / high quantity “platform” feels like the wrong approach.

I would prefer a smaller Prop that funds just the Nouns CC0 Gaming Toolkit and a decentralized game jam.

interesting idea but would like to see a smaller scope/ask as an initial pilot

FOR - 28 VOTES

benbodhi | "This approach to games for the nouniverse is really powerful imo. I do believe we should be funding games and I think this model is a great way to do it."

eltonpenguin | "Would prefer to see more synergies between these games (e.g. reusing assets, building a common framework, etc.), but overall supportive."

profwerder | "This is a new direction for Nouns but I think it will drive attention from the brand side. The games are fun and addicting! And Kwik clearly knows the gaming industry and has his pulse on web3 developments in the industry."

I think gaming is a great area for a prop. The scope seems pretty wide.

I would love to support a game-related proposal but this approach does not work for me.

100% think Nouns should explore investing in games. However, as with most first time efforts, I'd much rather see a dedicated effort at making a single instance well instead of trying to pitch a platform.

Much as I'm open to working directly with tennis players, but against a Tennis platform (at least at first). I'd be very excited to fund a compelling nounish game (especially an onchain one that leverages the NFTs somehow), but against an elaborate partnership with a publisher.

Unfortunately the Nouns bowling game trailer simply does not meet my quality bar as a standalone game effort.

I appreciate the team for proposing and invite them to revise and try again 💛

Thank you to the proposers for working on this project, I appreciate the time dedicated and the interest in Nouns, but I see some major issues with this proposal.

Quality. I believe we should be striving to build a very high quality game for Nouns, instead of many "throw-away" mobile games. From what was shown on the proposal the quality just isn't there, it looks a bit amateurish to be completely honest.

Budget. No clarity on how the funds are going to be used. The figures seem high and arbitrary. Also denominated in ETH which I don't think fits this proposal.

Audience. The proposed website and games feel like a dated model. I'm not sure we would see much use of the website at all.

Again, appreciate the proposers but I don't believe this is the right fit for Nouns.

thanks to the people who put forth this well-thought-out idea. i see nouns as a perfect canvas for turning dreams into reality. imo, with nouns, you can create endless possibilities. if building games is your passion, then build the dream game you've always wanted to play. maybe start small with a basic version of your product, pouring your passion into it. show progress and some degree of PMF. i'm almost sure you'll continue to get funding after an initial MVP prop that generates good results.

what does it take to make an awesome game? if there were no limits, how would you go about it?

i'm eagerly waiting for the first nouns-powered game that people can't stop playing.

Pro games in general, too much up front by 10x.
