I completely agree on games. I think this is something that there's a lot of room to grow into and nostr offers an awesome toolkit for game devs that more should be utilizing. I wish ZBD Social was st...
Thanks for flagging Shosho.
I’m looking, which is why I’m posting — nothing Antidote has been willing to back, yet.
ZBD Social wasn’t needed for games with Nostr to succeed. That’s still compliant payments. When I think big, I think an EVE Online relay could speak to a Star Citizen relay… but that’s a way off and valuable use case for gaming still TBC. The low-hanging fruit is replicating what Zynga did with Words with Friends, but totally platform agnostic. It wouldn’t be the first game that demonstrates why this is powerful (the first Nostr game just needs to be a good game; it doesn’t even need Nostr). It would be games two and three that blow it up. Clash of Clans then Guilds of War, or whatever you want to call it, but with persistent guilds. And payments. And chat.
Saves game devs massive of custom build effort, potentially. But the back-end is orders of magnitude less important than very, very strong game design.
