What does Slothicorn mean to you?

We are building an AR Game called Welcome To Slothicorn and we need you to help us create the first level. If this is the first time you’ve heard about the game we’re building, please read this post which gives you an overview.

The game we are building is called Welcome To Slothicorn.

The purpose of this game is to create a welcoming feeling for creative people who first enter into the cryptocurrency space. The slow but magical slothicorn leads people and provides noobs with a feeling of ease as they enter the strange new decentralized world of crypto.

The portals to this game will be slothicorns in the real world (people can put the QR code in videos, on slothicorn sculptures, in digital artwork, etc. It’s open to all kinds of art forms besides sculptures). We still need more artists to create their own portals (I’ll make a post about how to do this soon). Here’s the QR code that takes people to the slothicorn.com website:

The ultimate purpose of this game to teach creatives how to turn their creative energy into crypto coins using the tools in Steem, and other crypto spaces as well. The game will hopefully turn a semi-confusing experience of entering crypto, into one that is fun as well as magical.

@justatouchfey and @rubenalexander and others are speeding along, creating the beginnings of the game, and we’re currently creating the first level. Our project is open source, on GitHub, and our website is being built as the game advances. @rubenalexander provided the countdown ticker, and as soon as we make it https, secure ’s’, we will unleash the website.

That’s where you come in.

@justatouchfey had requested that we ask the community what Slothicorn feels like. This will enable her to create the environment and the feel of the first level. So, in the comments below, describe what your thoughts are so far about the idea of a creative commons crypto art community that rewards creators in STEEM.

Questions to ask yourself:

Does the idea of Slothicorn inspire you? If so, why?

Do you think Slothicorn and other digital tribes can usher in a new paradigm where people can be rewarded for their artistic works that are shared resources?

Do you think sharing art resources has benefits that far outweigh other models, like individual copyrights?

Do you think our future will be a tokenized, merit-based shared economy?

So, please add your voice and comments below. The above questions are just here to create a prompt for your comments.

If you missed the announcement, or haven’t heard who is working on this Welcome To Slothicorn AR Game, the following people are involved: @justatouchfey is the director of this game, and is making a lot of the decisions regarding the overall flow of it.

@rubenalexander: Game dev of a Slothicorn portal, Game Shop and Drop RPG
@alexandravart: artist working on Slothicorn portal
@venalbe: Creating flow of activities, streamlining production of game
@stellabelle: Chief Unicorn Officer, providing SP, creating portal, communication and resources
(add your name here….I am sure I have missed some people)

If you’d like to get involved in any capacity, join our Discord channel. There’s a lot going on in there. And also there is now a few dedicated Steem accounts for general Creative Commons art:

In our Discord channel, there’s a channel dedicated to general Creative Commons resources. In addition to that, there’s an “ART REQUEST” channel where people who are looking to hire/collaborate with creative talent can submit their projects. So, starving artists now have a ‘go to’ place to find creative gigs inside our Discord channel.

Also a shoutout to a game developer who is creating a game for the EOS platform right now. You can find the latest info about that here: @sfeos/sfeos-game-design-part-3-breaking-down-the-core-game-loop

If Crypto Kitties taught us one thing it is this: games make things go viral. Special thanks to @inquiringtimes who keeps everything organized in Discord! I am not sure what it would be like without him.
