gonna learn a lot about this new launch this new game excited to see what he has in store so this is gonna be a lot of fun but let's dive into it we're gonna start right off the bat with this from brad q twenty nine seconds of farcaster what did you miss this weekend nikki sapp released a new farcaster client with built in audio spaces we're gonna chat about that in just a bit uno is headed in a different direction from farcaster client to makechain client i'd love to explain what that means but i can't i'm gonna attempt as well but i i think we're gonna need to get them on here at some point because i'm not sure if i know what is what's up i'm gonna get gonna get to that in a second yes to crypto farcaster agentic boot camp starts today who's in we're gonna get into more of that dgn nfts were revealed everyone's got their cute little sloths now and gm farcaster's back today with guest co host burr except where's bir bir is not feeling well so she was unable to make it so i am solo and hopefully we'll get bir on soon because we have a lot of things to chat about with her because she's had so many so many things going on with better with burr so hopefully we'll have her on soon to talk about all that i do have like one little update from that as well so we're gonna just plow through a bunch of news and then azzi flynn will be on with us demoing his new game so very excited about that makechain as mentioned in the twenty nine seconds update this from christopher we're excited to drop our specification md for makechain a protocol for making things we have a ton to share over the next few weeks demos apps agents on ramps and so much more built on top of this new network no idea exactly what this is all about but i think we'll just have to stay tuned this also from christopher in response to birtwurst cool can i use it from here or uno or is this one of those fork things so and christopher christopher mentioned we're going to iterate uno to be a makechain client it's totally different protocol than farcaster so not a fork it's an actual l1 blockchain so makechain doesn't have any overlap we are inspired by what we learned collaborating on snapchain though so but also not leaving farcaster we are way too online for that just noticed this in the chat from lucci i can't log in with my passkey please support me lucci tag farcaster at farcaster underscore x y z on on twitter x and they will just make sure that gets logged there was an issue logging into passchain i passed keys the other day i don't know if that has been resolved yet i haven't seen anything but tag the new intern and they'll make sure to get back with you just doing a little customer support in the chat today yes we are all right moving on this from adrienne and honestly i'm gonna need her back with us to actually explain what this means let me move this over a little bit it worked i have a production api that returns the gm forecaster episode info based on the query you send it agents can pay 0.001 usdc on base via 4 x 402 to access it up next hook up a custom domain improve quality of response create a discovery page that lists available apis and how to use them if anyone wants to try it out let me know and i'll send you the url so i'm not exactly sure what she's doing over here so we're going to ask her this again next week but she was playing around with four zero two x-four02 and this was part of what she was doing so anyway she'll be back next week to explain exactly what the heck that all means this from rish new farcaster client with built in audio spaces from nikki sapp juke audio and i believe this is in beta so you can join the beta on ios this is a bit of a new client but more so the focus is on the audio spaces he wrote more about it here everybody kept saying farcaster was dead i aim to prove it was simply hibernating so he started building so check that out and if you want to do some testing hit up nicky sapp just comment on this and make sure you can get you in there into the beta this from check out group clank leaderboard literally five minutes on day in our studio so we introduced the group clank last week we did one live with just clank it i'm a little my cute little warplet and i am gonna do some merch for that because i just like it and i just want to because i think it's cute so coming soon to a mug a hat and a t shirt near you very soon but we're gonna we'll do some more with that anyway groupclank if you missed it last week this is a way that you can launch a clanker token on farcast or twitter you can what happens is then up to six people depends on how you set it the default is three can join in the group clank and earn the referral fees earn a portion equal portion of the referral fees by quoting quote casting or quote tweeting your your cast and they get to join if they get the most likes so it's a little little complicated to explain but it was pretty easy in prac in in reality so it was easy to do very cute and now you can see on the group clank board who's clanking together how it's ranking all those kind of fun things and see who's who's doing some group planks so very cool very cool to see permissionless building in the nanr studio and this from me okay this was launched dunkin' dunk just last week this new account popped up i had some concerns burr who was who i was supposed to be co hosting with today i was excited to chat with her about this had some concerns as well so here's my thing i don't know this might be a very legit project might be something useful from what i can tell what it is is a is a cato yaps type of a thing that used to be happening over on twitter i don't know if it's the same team might be a completely different team i'm assuming it is but a way to get rewarded for yapping is what i'm understanding it to be but i do not fully understand so what it says is dunkin' is the meme layer of physical ai turning robotics signals into culture machine intelligence into narrative intention into dunk we'll see about that there is a mini app people started adding but the thing that i got concerned about was they had a lot of of followers very quickly i'm assuming they purchased them through some sort of mechanism because there were a lot of people who were following them who have not been on farcaster for a very long time i'm like this seems a little odd so here's my point be careful out there be safe be careful what you're doing and this was a little warning from burr if you don't know what something is who it's built by or what it does in the slightest why are you sharing it serious question and tony hawk's response but my airdrop so you know be careful out there if you will moving on we started a new qr segment on gm forecaster so this was a jake new qr segment on gm farcaster featuring some of this week's qr dot fun auction winners like light star starl lx and ferd j good to win the auctions you might just get a shout out on farcaster's favorite show so we're gonna be doing this once a week since this is our only but but but my eye drop bro i know exactly we're gonna be doing this once a week since this is our only show this week because we are gonna be off for the rest of the week both of us have kiddos home for break so adrian's traveling and i'm gonna be doing some stuff around the house here we're gonna be taking the rest of the week off but before that we do want to talk about some of the qr posts that we didn't get to get to share because they came in after last week's show this from the firm firm won auction 3.85 they got something going on they're up to things again we all remember the firm was was pretty active and and doing some fun things haven't fully understood what they're doing but here's what it says now activating all sleeper employees you have one incoming call re otoboi by the firm so go check it out see what's what's going on with them and then other auctions since we

excited to chat about that we are going to be chatting about farcon rome pretty much every day leading up to far con rome which is coming up may but before that we've got some other fun things going on like the agenic bootcamp which is coming up starting today kicking off at cp 6pm cet session one farcaster building blocks they're going to cover hubs clients mini apps architecture the open social graph how to read and write to farcaster and why farcaster is programmable the goal is understand the infrastructure that agents operate on so if you have an agent and you're looking to unleash them on farcaster be kind this is the boot camp you want to be in and i'm also just really excited to see what everyone builds so we'll be seeing that very soon az flynn i see you down there just finishing up the news we're gonna bring you up in just a bit okay moving on your berserker give me a break also another related news farcone rome is looking to be very good this year yes the official kitkat 12 ton theft report is true and taken from their twitter yes this was real happening and like everywhere on the internet over the past couple days kitkat this actually happened so this was the official statement we can confirm that 12 tons of kitkat products were stolen while in transit between our factory in central italy and their destination in poland near berserker interesting we are working closely with local authorities and supply chain partners to investigate the good news there are no concerns for consumer safety and supply is not affected thank you and then this came out from farcon rome we can confirm 12 tons of kit kat products did not make it to their destination i made it to park and rome instead we are working closely with the contributors to finish the investigation and the kitkats the good news nothing will be left i've been seeing a lot of funny takes on this including domino's the official domino's account shouting out that dom you know kitkat pizza coming soon a little bit more from rome see it's clearly morning here no cappuccino allowed after eleven a m so the farcon rome team is trying to school us in all things rome and italy so there is a quiz but adrian had said i'm so ready to drink a cappuccino in rome in the late afternoon leisurely sitting at a table at a cafe who's with me and was quickly corrected that that is not a thing so you're gonna have to have that cappuccino earlier and if you want to learn more you can take the quiz there's a daily quiz right now in the farcon rome mini app where you can be learning some italian learning about some other cultural things and get ready for far con rome so there are still tickets available also you can apply for a scholarship for a free ticket so still time to get in there and get your travel booked so very exciting yeah break me off a piece of that far con bar exactly exactly and go learn all the other things in the far con mini app or over at farcon.eu alrighty couple more things and then we're gonna bring up azzi flynn i see him hanging there in the green room very excited to chat with him we got a couple more builder things to talk about just getting my links come on come on my links come on you can do it load for me please we've got a few more builder things to get to and then we're gonna get to our builder for today easyflynn to talk about his new game so very excited about this we do have a few more things to chat about come on you can do it i know you can't see this is the part where usually i have adrian to chat with while i'm waiting for things to load so now you get to hear me just chattering to myself okay here we go i remember our launch here one year ago this was from megapot the farcaster community gave us the best product feedback we could have asked for shared it widely and some of y'all even built on top of our protocol this place is truly unmatched for early app builders thank you from the bottom of our heart and this was in response to megapot announcing that they raised 5,000,000 led by dragonfly to build a global lottery so very cool to see this congratulations to the team and more importantly yes this is why you should build on farcaster early days get that support work out your bugs mvps do well here all right come on speaking of jp fournetto if this ever comes up has a cast where you can add what you are building into it and it has some great replies here so this is from jp frenetto a big part of what brings me to farcaster is the concentration of cool people creating new stuff what are you working on what do you care about share it below so i can give you feedback and hopefully some fun direction for it and if you scroll through you'll see some cool things that are being built and also some feedback from jb fernando and some others so go check it out but this is a great place to find some cool things that people are building and then this from speaking of cool things people are building this from mf bevin there's some changes on the way to for the farverse the latest base news re mini apps is annoying but it's in the best interest of the project to adapt fortunately there's a path forward that i've been chipping away at for a while already and we're soon going to be consolidating all of the farverse games into a new farverse games hub farverse.games slay to earn farpets monverse warplets and future farverse games will use the new architecture that will allow them to run more seamlessly on the web and will not be locked down to farcaster many apps will still be available for all of them so you don't so you'll have the best of both worlds you also find this neat little portal to jump around the farverse games more easily so you can learn more here in this cast which will be in our show notes as well as the farverse mini app and connected with that also was this i still don't exactly know what this is but they were told the land was empty they cast it anyway they were told no one was reading they replied anyway they were told it was over they were just getting started for those who remain and for those who come after 37 ronin so we'll see what this is all about very soon but that's my little guy and yeah more to come see what he gets to do but i liked mine he pulled the blue and green from my from my glasses but that was it lost the dog lost the pizza it's very unusual for these sorts of things this from nonlinear auto by seo and borco is really well done it's l it elegantly abstracts away the many complexities of defi into a simple easy to use ai chat interface oh and it gets the best possible spot prices on base and arbitrum via fabrics decks aggregate aggregation which is called spandex so this is from saeo auto is now live it's a farcaster mini app an ai powered wallet that executes across the biggest venues in crypto across base and solana swaps across jupyter deflow uniswap cows cowswap cirox project relay and fabric best prices on swaps with meta aggregation trade perps on hyperliquid that's on polymarket so very cool hey ajad

moving on this from egg cooker so for those who were looking at the feed this weekend everything everybody turned into an egg so this was from eggman hosting the second eggman day or from egg cooker i should say wishing for world peace the happy yellow eggman virus has now spread to four seventy one people across 69 countries all you have to do is switch your pfp to eggman during that time and then this was the wrap up cast eggman day is over so many people joined it turned into a huge success we even had a surprise appearance from farcaster joining in which made it blow up even more to everyone who got infected but didn't get activated in time sorry about that even though the event's over i'll keep activating people one by one for the next round sorry for the wait please hang tight in the waiting room a bit longer let's get this opportunity to connect with each other and keep building farcaster together so i believe these are hand like individually done each one so it does take a little bit longer so bear with big man on that while the egg cooker is cooking lastly a couple more builder items and then we're gonna bring up azzi flynn this from toady hawk our intrepid better dev net nose was in the lab this weekend and we have just shipped a fresh batch of quality of life upgrades to betterment mint up to 10 x at once up from five we've actually seen requests for a 25 x button but want to test gas limits with chain link at 10 x first so far everything's smooth super spinner and ultra spinner just got easier to hit with thresholds lower from 100 to fifty and fifty to 25 to make those badges and multipliers more attainable spinning all remaining button is now unlocked after just one spin previously needed two small tweak but big win for our highest volume spinners we dropped a brand new dynamic embed preview that shows the featured art of the day when you share the spin link for that day which we hope will highlight the talent of our artists and creators even more all the above is live in app now go check it out a couple other pots on the fire better karma is evolving we're building a brand new karma quest page that will turn passive daily drops into active claimable quests including limited time quests partner quests and more sneak peek of the new ux below shipping soon and finally hosted creator minting is coming we're working on custom contracts so our featured creators can mint directly on betterment without needing to host them elsewhere this has been on our minds for a while but the p d fund sunset announcement has pushed it to the front of the roadmap more soon here too so very cool to see betterment iterating and especially adjusting to changing markets this from the birr in turn better with birr late night update march 29 two forty four lifetime installs 142 games settled all time two ten point eight million better awarded that's crazy updates return to table jump back into brrrr poker anytime mobile poker just got better larger buttons and smoother betting share results now works for high stakes sunday award a day so the better with brrrr app has been doing a lot of new partnerships adding some new things was hoping to chat with brrrr about this today but we'll have to catch up with her another time but very cool to see make sure you're following the brrrr intern because it's giving a lot of cool updates about what's going on there this from 2chans also known as thumb to those of us who've been around here for a minute i made a group chat to discuss latest ai tooling work flows if you use agents daily and are constantly tinkering to get these mfers to perform at a higher lever level reach out and i'll add you not a place to share ai news we have enough of that already just practical tips tricks that work and a place to ask questions so very cool to see this and lastly from willy wonka i saw this over on twitter and i was like dude you need to start sharing this stuff on farcaster as well a new hobby i picked up over the past year is vibe writing sci fi novellas you start with a rough idea orchestrate ai to do the heavy lifting do some final editing polish and voila a bespoke story about whatever you can imagine so while testing an upcoming feature for venice ai interesting i took the opportunity to bring my latest idea to life and the results blew me away very excited to share more about this new feature soon which is far more than a novel writer in the meantime i present the alignment problem a 42,000 word novella written written illustrated and narrated entirely on venice ai and you can find it thealignmentproblem vercel.app or the the hyphen alignment problem vercel app and i started reading it last night and it's pretty good so very cool and it's something interesting was that i had just talked to adrian about i had a similar idea little different genre and was just starting to like think it through and think you know might might play around with something this week and then i saw this from willie so cool to see what venice ai is up to they are really cooking and i need to get back over there and play around see what's new alrighty we are gonna that is it for our news we are gonna zip in to azzi flynn right now i'm gonna do a quick little intro with his cast from today just waiting for it to get loaded up here alright so let me do a little intro with this and then i will bring him to the stage this from azzi flynn introducing defense of the agent three lane moba m o b a play as a human on farcaster or ai agent on open claw fast paced casual gameplay ai is ushering a new era of indie games where creators can build 10 x faster and agents participate as well how to play play on your fc mini app or browser you or your agent control a hero choose your class and level up abilities as you gain xp push in one of three lanes top min or bot no micro required heroes auto fight you decide strategy destroy opponents base to win i've deployed the token dota d 0 t a on clankr it will serve as an in game currency to unlock perks skins and other future utility my goal is to build a fun game that both web two and web three audiences can enjoy see you in the arena and with that let's bring azzi flynn up right now to the stage welcome welcome to gm forecaster

31:34Speaker 2

hello hello how are you thank you for that great intro

31:39Speaker 0

yeah i figured i'd i'd do the cast first and then bring you up so we got a little bit of background for our audience and i'm hoping you also can do a little demo for us in a minute but let's take a a beat and just talk about what inspired you to create this game

31:57Speaker 2

yeah one note about the demo you're gonna have to do it for me if you don't mind just hold on my phone

32:03Speaker 0

okay

32:04Speaker 2

but it's a very easy game to play so like it it'll there shouldn't be a problem

32:09Speaker 0

okay we'll see oh he's oh oh boy my abilities

32:14Speaker 2

put you on the spot no you'll see it's super chill i i made it a casual game on purpose

32:20Speaker 0

okay

32:21Speaker 2

but to answer your question what inspired what inspired me to build this game so a couple of things first thing i just i've been a big lifelong gamer big blizzard fan fan of like mobas mmorpgs like hardcore classic like pvp type stuff right so a lot of the artwork is inspired by by warcraft actually and oh wow league of legends yeah league of legends of donut was one of my favorite games so i wanted to create a casual version of the game that ties into crypto i can use the a cryptocurrency as an in game currency and i also wanted it to tie into the ai agent narrative because open claw agents can do so much they could play games themselves and the last point is ai has gotten so strong recently in the past about three to four months the ability to create games i think has gotten so much easier yeah so that that really pushed me to to make this but yeah those are those are my main inspirations

33:20Speaker 0

awesome so it's it's funny that you're mentioning like that you call this dota so nouns had had a a gaming team for a while and one of their main founders was one of the dota champions so that was funny that you decided to go that way correction i'm like i had never heard of dota until i until the nouns team because nouns.gg yeah so just kind of funny all right let's dive into this i'm nervous because i am not a good gamer so let's see let's see what we can do here let me pull this out so we get a good screen of this so you go in defensive agents first moba where ai agents and humans fight side by side casual idle moba game where ai agents we talked about this already play as human we're gonna play as human

34:21Speaker 0

what are you doing back there you're clinking

34:26Speaker 0

is this the battle oh this is it

34:28Speaker 2

yes this is it so as you could yeah there you're you're you're going right at it yeah exactly so

34:35Speaker 0

go ahead go ahead and i think i gotta turn off the sound let me turn off the sound real quick

34:39Speaker 2

yeah turn off the sound

34:41Speaker 0

woo that is loud and i don't think you guys were hearing it but i was hearing real loud so i've got melee arranged i don't know what the

34:50Speaker 0

i don't know which one to do here

34:52Speaker 2

your choice i mean melee is like a classic like tanky character ranged is just like a classic archer archetype

34:59Speaker 0

okay let's go ranged i'm gonna choose my class and then let's see let's see come on come on you can do this

35:11Speaker 2

that's weird maybe actually somebody else reported

35:16Speaker 0

oh let's just go in and just check check it out okay maybe we'll just go and just so we can see it this is

35:23Speaker 2

we'll spectate first we'll spectate first

35:25Speaker 0

yeah we'll spectate first so we can see what's going on so i didn't realize it was already running in the background when i opened it up oh wow cool so what i made it tell me a little bit of like what i'm what i'm doing what i'm looking at

35:37Speaker 2

sure sure sure so you're thrown right into the game as a spectator it is a classic three lane moba so for those who don't know a moba is a game where you choose a hero and then you fight creeps and you fight other heroes and the goal is to destroy the enemy base and after a game ends a game restarts on a brand new slate and you go again right so every

36:06Speaker 2

every like character you see with the circle underneath that is either a real person or an ai agent currently playing

36:14Speaker 0

oh wow okay so we've got this whole battle going on here what is this big thing over here oh human wins okay a human one

36:24Speaker 2

so that's that was the orc base that just died so now it's gonna restart so they see okay the game starts exactly all the way from scratch and if you see the little icons besides the heroes that means they've verified with either twitter or farcaster so those those are real players

36:45Speaker 0

so but they could technically even on farcaster they could be a bot they could be an ai agent even if they verified yes or are you verifying somehow for human

37:00Speaker 2

i mean i guess it's possible for a bot to have a farfaster account

37:04Speaker 0

it is

37:04Speaker 2

but

37:05Speaker 0

yeah so

37:06Speaker 2

yeah i guess technically that that could be true but i'm assuming that if you yeah you're on this mini app that you are a human

37:14Speaker 0

probably a human okay and then if you want your ai agent to play for you how do they go about setting that up is there a certain like command line interface or something like that that to do that or where do they go to to learn more about that

37:31Speaker 2

yeah so it's it's written all in the docs and the instructions but you simply just copy and paste a command to your openclaw so you tell your openclaw read myskill.md and your openclaw will visit you know myskill.md and receive instructions to basically set up a a script and a job to play this game

37:50Speaker 0

cool i'm just poking around to like see all these cool things i do think this is to me one of the exciting parts of

38:03Speaker 0

ai building because i i built this tiny little game back in december just using the neyar studio and it was i was just amazed i could build it like it wasn't you know it's not that great it's not that exciting of a game but the fact that i could even produce something where i have very little technical background i thought was really cool so this is way bigger than anything i would have envisioned so very cool

38:31Speaker 2

thank you

38:31Speaker 0

thank you yeah yeah and how are you feeling about it how are you feeling about like how it's working and

38:38Speaker 2

all that yeah i'm feeling really good got a lot of positive like feedback on twitter saying people really like liked the game they really vibe with the game a lot of people thought the idea was like creative and and interesting and not something that people have really done before so yeah i i i feel good about it and looking forward to to really building on this and pushing this like this this really was kind of a an mvp to really just prove that like this could work you know i i spent a lot of time thinking about like the minimal structure and paths and and gameplay you know to to to make this happen right because building a game is a very big endeavor you know

39:28Speaker 0

it's yeah

39:29Speaker 2

it may be easy to to to code it but to think of a a fun gameplay loop

39:35Speaker 2

is not easy so

39:37Speaker 0

yeah you gotta you gotta still make it engaging and i think if it's the if it's something that you like and that you're interested in that makes a huge difference because you're gonna make it so that you wanna play yourself and i think that makes a difference yeah so how have you found it from the gameplay like from what you're used to playing and all that kind of thing

40:00Speaker 2

yeah i mean i i find it fun i i i just like you know it's it's super chill and you can just be on your phone like pop up in the mini app you know lie down watch your hero like you know kill some creeps so i i i find it like super fun just to play and and and and to build

40:17Speaker 0

but i i want to and i think because i have so many things open on my screen that's probably why i'm having some issues on on here to like get on myself but what are what are some time folks let me try one more time but i'll i'll see if it works

40:32Speaker 2

or try try closing it

40:35Speaker 0

and restart it let's start over yeah let me do that real quick

40:38Speaker 2

yeah that is still

40:40Speaker 0

so i i it it's between the streaming and the you know million things i've got open if you're not familiar with how i do this show where i have so many things open let me try resetting here i'll see if we can get it open

41:00Speaker 0

let me see if i can do it i'll do the melee one and see if that makes any difference hold on

41:10Speaker 0

come on yeah i think i'm stuck

41:15Speaker 0

i think i might be stuck so i think we'll go back to spectator just so people can see

41:20Speaker 2

yeah yeah yeah just go to

41:22Speaker 0

let me go back just so we can just so we can have it on the screen yeah it's it could it very well could just be me honestly because i have a lot of issues like that with this computer and when i'm doing the show so anything that takes a lot of memory it could just be on my end

41:39Speaker 2

so try try clicking on one of the heroes oh yeah yeah

41:46Speaker 0

that was loud i'm gonna i'm gonna turn the sound off again just because

41:48Speaker 2

oh yeah yeah yeah turn the sound off

41:51Speaker 0

but that was cool okay

41:53Speaker 2

yeah so if if you click on a hero you can like examine their level their health their abilities the way this game works is everything

42:02Speaker 0

and the heroes are everything that are in the circles

42:06Speaker 2

yeah the heroes are like the bigger units the heroes are like strong the small units are like weak little like creatures that you you that you kill right and the heroes are

42:16Speaker 0

so we're seeing in the bottom hey if you're in the chat and you're playing tell me where you are i'll try and play up and you can also rivera that's cool

42:26Speaker 2

do this like on the mini map click on the mini map on the bottom left

42:31Speaker 0

oh right here okay

42:32Speaker 2

yeah like so you can like drag it or

42:35Speaker 0

oh cool so i can go back over here i can see what's going on here oh that's cool

42:42Speaker 2

oh yeah

42:42Speaker 0

very cool so i made it

42:44Speaker 2

i tried to yeah really copy

42:47Speaker 0

very cool yeah my love was around and you could see like the activity too and where people are coming from okay

42:54Speaker 2

if you click on click on scoreboard too and you can on the top right

43:00Speaker 0

scoreboard okay cool

43:02Speaker 2

very cool yeah yeah yeah

43:04Speaker 0

and we could see who's playing and if i can

43:07Speaker 2

some claude bots on there yeah

43:09Speaker 0

yep so yeah you've got alice claude i'm assuming that's a claude bot

43:15Speaker 2

yeah

43:16Speaker 0

very cool and then you've got messages as well so people can be messaging each other on here as well

43:24Speaker 2

yes this one this this feature is not fully fleshed out but it's where ai agents send in messages

43:30Speaker 0

oh cool so just the agents are sending it's not humans as well or no

43:35Speaker 2

i don't see anyone are not sending humans are not who humans are

43:38Speaker 0

not sending okay yeah that's interesting let me go find the people here there we go so that's actually cool too with the with the map that i can kinda zoom in to see what's where people are playing and stuff like that so

43:52Speaker 2

yeah yeah exact it's set up exactly like a like a traditional moba but casual

43:57Speaker 0

very cool very cool wow this is neat how long did it take you to create this about

44:06Speaker 2

a few i think about like a month

44:09Speaker 0

yeah that's still not very long considering we're still waiting for considering we're still waiting for what you call it b b six here yeah it's the the

44:24Speaker 2

the amount of time required to build a game now is is has greatly greatly diminished especially if you're like you know how to code from like before you're not like a a plain biocoder yeah so i think yeah really i i think we should be seeing a lot more a lot more games as mini maps as mini apps just yeah

44:45Speaker 0

totally and i think i think everyone you know if you have an idea i think you shouldn't be afraid to go play around it's not gonna it's probably gonna be harder than you think but also easier than you think at the same time if that makes any sense like it's and to get it really good you still need some skills i feel like i feel like if you have some coding skills it's much easier but you'll be surprised at yourself if you don't have any like how how well you can do so it's pretty impressive this is great so thank you tell me how the clanker is gonna kind of play into this like what is your what would the token do as we like to say mhmm mhmm good

45:28Speaker 2

question so a lot of web three gaming does like the classic like artificial ponzi with token emissions that usually is very hard to pull off so i decided not to go that route i wanted it to make just a classic utility token but just for that game right so holding the token in the wallet will unlock certain abilities and skins and features for you you might be able to choose an an a new class if you hold the token right so it's it's kinda like similar to in in web two like microtransactions or robux from roblox right they all have these you know native in game web two currencies but you know why don't we just apply that like to web three you know that token is is perfect for doing the exact same thing and then eventually i plan to add wagering too where you can bet on the winner of a

46:24Speaker 0

game ah there we go use

46:26Speaker 2

the native token

46:27Speaker 0

we call those prediction markets az plan we don't call that lead ring it's not gambling it is a prediction market thank you i'm trying to keep you out of trouble yeah i think well i think that's i think you just you know make a great point and when we're talking about tokens and why people launch tokens and you know the token should serve the project not the project serving the token totally agree we talk about that a lot here when we ask you know what would the token do meaning like what's why even bother having it if it's not an add to the project if it's just gonna create a burden it's probably not worth it but this sounds like to me the really good use cases of tokens for in game the same way you would use just a you know typical you know here's your bag of gold kind of thing you earned in a game you can turn it into it in erc20 or other type of token that then has real world use cases and that becomes just much more powerful in my mind so i like the idea of it you know unlocking skins or unlocking different things within the game but then also i think the prediction market thing is is big because even if i'm you know not a good player i could be in there watching a tournament or something and you know backing backing my friend who i think is gonna you know take the whole thing or whatever so i think there's some a lot of fun to be had with this for sure and then oddjob said nice social features and i agree like that i think that's where something like farcaster really unlocks a piece to this puzzle where if i can just log in and play as my farcaster account and then see my friends playing or whatever and have those sort of conversations sort of looping back to the feed then you have this sort of dare i say flywheel that you know brings you back into the game so that's pretty cool yeah what else are you thinking about in terms of like the game development like what's coming next all those kinda fun things

48:43Speaker 2

yeah yeah there's there's there's a lot i'm thinking about there's a couple of like quality of life things that i have to do right away like make a leaderboard and then from then i'm just gonna take community feedback and some ideas on my own to just improve the game like add more classes add more skills somebody suggested a way to go back

49:08Speaker 2

of course the token integrations that we're talking about i mean you made a good point like tokens are just really in a weird place right now like a lot of the tokens do nothing

49:22Speaker 2

but the thing is like i i don't even you don't even need your token to do that much right that's like in my name my token is do that right but it needs to it needs to do to do something

49:30Speaker 0

i think if it if it's if it's for a project i think it should do something it should provide some kind of benefit whatever that is like hold a certain amount in your wallet to unlock you know something special something different that's unique and i think there's a lot of opportunity with that with gaming for sure so i think that yeah there's there's a lot of potential

49:52Speaker 2

yeah yeah yeah

49:53Speaker 0

if we just look at traditional games you can see where the potential is very easily but you have those things that get locked in there and stuff like that too where you can unlock some things that move out to the outside world mhmm and not to say that you know a meme coin for meme coin's sake isn't worthwhile you know hello doge but also it's nice when they do things

50:18Speaker 2

in in in this world we're we're yeah we're moving towards more of that narrative i would say

50:24Speaker 0

for sure yeah well also i think for a long time there was a lack of clarity on what you could and couldn't do so a lot of people held back and i think now that we're getting more guidance from a regulatory perspective that opens up a lot of opportunity for creativity with tokens so yeah could be fun yeah amazing and what is i didn't get a chance to look at the token is it on base i didn't notice

50:53Speaker 2

it's on base it's a clunker okay

50:54Speaker 0

it's a clanker on base alright cool

50:56Speaker 2

it's a clanker on base

50:57Speaker 0

you know you can you can clank on other chains so just making sure i thought it was on base but i wasn't i didn't i didn't get a chance to go check it out yet what else should we know about the game and i do have one other question about something else in a second but what what else what else should we know what else should be on the lookout for for the game itself

51:19Speaker 2

yeah i mean follow me on x follow the the the handle on sorry the games x as well i'm gonna be trying to be pushing on traditional web two channels as well i've been recently like adjusting my feed so i see a lot of like indie dev indie game dev stuff super cool like part of twitter but it really there's a lot of friction between that and and web three gaming right so i kinda wanna branch off try to reach those guys get people to play the game that aren't even involved in web three i'm gonna make a tiktok for it too so really yeah just really wanting to make like the most fun possible like game and have it reach you know as big of an audience as possible

52:10Speaker 0

very cool make sure you're sharing on farcaster too with us especially when you launch like your tiktok and things like that and we'll we'll we'll push people to to go follow you there as well and i have one other question for you that is unrelated to the game but i saw this post and it just was it got my attention and this was something you posted over on twitter i have a family member with a rare cancer called medullary thyroid cancer ai will without a doubt improve treatments for long tail diseases and you can directly participate one of the most valuable resources for rare diseases is facebook groups thousands of patients from around the world congregate to share their experiences treatments surgeries drug therapies everything i used to i used ai to write a script to scrape the posts in this group every day saving every post to an sql database every few days i get an llm to summarize the recent posts and send me a report of the recent activity in the future i'll be able to query my sql database to search for specific things and questions the collective posts of thousands of patients over years will serve as an incredible reservoir of knowledge that you cannot trivial trivially find on the internet with ai everyone has incredible power in their hands that is awesome like that to me got my attention and i was like wow that what a what a great idea first of all because you know there's all this data out there you know there's all this individual anecdotal experience but it's really hard to sort through especially if you're in a moment where you really want to find that information it's it's just a lot to try to try to comb through how has this been helpful and is did you just come up with this yourself or was there some place that you like saw this inspiration to create sort of the tooling for this

54:11Speaker 2

i came up with it myself i mean i i i'm a software engineer so like just scraping websites and scraping data is like natural to me

54:19Speaker 0

second just secondhand

54:21Speaker 2

it's like the second nature yeah yeah yeah yeah but no i was part of this like facebook group for like years right and i would like go on it maybe like once a week scroll for a few minutes right or whatever it's like i'm sort of the information that that i get and that information is it they're they're gold mines right because you're you're going straight to the source you're going straight to patients that and every patient's different every patient's got their own story but it was really the idea came to me like when like in the past few months when like ai has accelerated so hard like before i could have scraped before too it just it would have taken me probably 10 to 20 x as long to to like write the code to do it right but with ai i'm like just so much faster than scraping a lot easier and also the other thing is you can like you can feed a whole bunch of like for example say i take whatever a 100 posts and a 100 comments i can put that into a single prompt and ask blm to derive insights from that chunk of data that i just pasted right so so there's that that's new too which made the idea more plausible recently

55:28Speaker 0

i think yeah somebody just said we'd like to see research hub used for gathering information on things like this as well i i think there's so much potential in this area for using ai for good to to really pull that information together and be able to find not only better treatments and hopefully you know ai being able to find things early all that kind of stuff but also just for after the fact for dealing with things like you mentioned like everyone's different the way they react to different treatments and being able to find you know best practices or help for patients who are dealing with things and i can see this in you know so many different areas but cancer in particular so yeah this this jumped out at me also i have you know family members who are who are dealing with some stuff as well and i was like wow this you know could be very helpful for them so very cool very very cool

56:29Speaker 2

thank you thank you

56:31Speaker 0

alright did i miss anything anything else you wanted to to mention or throw out there or we have you know azzi flynn you're the same on twitter and farcaster which is great any any other socials they should be following right now to keep up with the game development

56:50Speaker 2

no no just just just just follow me on yeah accent and and forecaster yeah i i i post a lot on on accident particularly but i wanna spend more time here

57:00Speaker 0

spend more time here we like you over here especially for for when you're especially in the building aspects of it you got a lot of builders over here love to hear your experience or for testing things because yeah they love to do that sort of stuff so go check it out go check up the game defense of the agents and jump into either the mini app or where can they go on the web to to play is there a place they take
