About
The problem it solves Humans have a fundamental problem — we’re lonely and we want to engage in social activities. Gaming is by far the most sticky and engaging one. Anyone ranging from close friends and family, down to randoms you met on the internet — everyone is excited to connect over a fun gaming session. Moreover, people often don’t have the ability to see others in person, and the intersection of Farcaster x Gaming helps to recreate this experience digitally — We’re not just making fun minigames, we’re giving new social experiences to people who are desperately looking for them!
How it's made
Challenges we ran into Building with Frames as the protocol currently operates is somewhat limited and it's difficult to build certain experiences. We had some initial issues with figuring out the optimal user experience, and we also encountered some difficulties in setting up our server correctly to allow for 1v1 multiplayer in the way we wished to implement it. We solved the gameplay issues by talking with users and learning from their perspective how we could make it more frictionless. On the server side, we released a demo to do live tests — this allowed us to collect data and find an optimal way of running it for the actual game.
