I'm more than excited to find that the fictional worldview of game orchestrates Defi Legos in the space like @DefiKingdoms and @Treasure_DAO. Narrative cannot be ignored

Some thoughts on @CthulhuCA22 and why on-chain LARPG is worthy attention🧵

中文读者请从7/开始阅读。

1/ Live action role-playing/Murder mystery game is generally a party game, with multiple players playing different roles.
It may start with a murder, requiring everyone to work together to find the killer and avoid danger.

2/ Dynamic & Multifactorial

Unlike @wolfdotgame and @wndgame emphasizing the game between 2 parties, it's more like an interactive film/novel that has 10 ppl participating, and all of them have their own interests & purposes, infecting the course of events.

3/(1) Lower threshold & Story-driven

Though appreciate a fully decentralized, plugin-enabled blockchain game as Dark Forest, but tbh, the lack of a goal-driven and high technical requirement prevents me from really enjoying it.

3/(2)

Goals are essential in game design. All open-world games have main & side quests, and good storytelling allows players to immerse easier and more enjoyably.

I have a thread abt tutorial narrative benefits web2 players getting into web3:

4/ Leisure time social needs

The game usually runs for 2-3 hours (as a Twitter Space) and starts at any time.
Playing with even strangers makes it popular among Chinese GenZ since 2020.
No one could imagine how it will change the Web3 community.

5/ Culture Value: fringe horror getting popular

The cosmic entity concept of Cthulhu was brought by HP Lovecraft in 1926 with a novel called The Call of Cthulhu, inspiring lots of video games and more legacy.
For example DND, MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh, and @0xmons.

6/(1) An experimental project with a visionary team backup should have its own consideration, but I'd like to share some suggestions for a long journey:

6/(2) Focus on blockchain + game, providing new UX:

Random props and events, hiding, theft, encrypted messages, limited action points, clues left behind by movements of "liar" and "murder", and more.
A LARPG gaming platform with solid technology is more than promising.

6/(3)
Try procedurally generating narratives and encourage the community to create more plots, and mix them up randomly. Otherwise, spoiler will be a communication barrier.

6/(4)
Visualize some movements of players with automatically generated avatar/video masks as performance is an important element of the genre.
Different language subDAOs are necessary for routine activities in the future.

6/(5)
Would love to share more about community organic growth/FT&NFT incentives/tokenomics with the team in private.

Welcome to follow @CthulhuCA22 for the upcoming Great Old One's party. They are open to any advice.

7/ 真人角色扮演/谋杀谜题游戏通常是多人扮演不同角色的聚会游戏。
它可能以谋杀开始，要求每个人一起工作以找到凶手并避免危险。

8/ 多种动态因素博弈：
不像 @ @wolfdotgame 和 @wndgame 强调双方的博弈，剧本杀更像互动式小说/电影，有10个玩家参与，并且每个人的利益和目的都会影响着事件的进程。

9/(1) 较低的门槛和故事驱动：
虽然我很欣赏Dark Forest这款完全去中心化且支持插件的区块链游戏，但老实说，它缺乏目标驱动且高技术门槛太高，这阻碍了我真正享受它。

9/(2)
目标在游戏设计中是必不可少的。所有开放世界游戏都有主要和次要任务，优秀的故事叙述能够让玩家更轻松且更享受地沉浸其中。
我曾写过一个关于叙述有助于web2玩家进入web3的帖子:

10/ 休闲社交需求
游戏通常会持续运行2-3个小时(类似Twitter space)，并能够随时开始。
自2020年以来，剧本杀在中国年轻人中很流行，因为即使是陌生人都可以在一起游戏。
没有人能想象到将如何改变Web3社区。

11/ 文化价值:边缘恐怖变得逐渐流行
克苏鲁的宇宙实体概念是由惠普·洛夫克拉夫特在1926年的小说《克苏鲁的召唤》中提出的，它启发了许多电子游戏和更多遗产。
例如，龙与地下城, 万智牌，游戏王，和 @0xmons

12/ 些许建议：
1）专注于区块链+游戏，提供全新用户体验:
随机道具和事件，藏匿，盗窃，加密通信，有限的行动点数，“骗子”和“凶手”的动作会留下线索等等。拥有可靠技术的LARPG游戏平台前景广阔。
2）尝试程序化叙事并鼓励社区创造更多情节，随机将它们混合在一起。否则剧透将成为阻碍社区沟通的问题。

12/

3）尝试让玩家间的部分行为可视化，例如自动生成avatar/面具遮罩等，因为表演是这类游戏的重要元素。
4）不同语言区的精细化社群运营是未来的常规活动所必需的。
5） 更多关于激励机制/代币模型的探讨将会与团队在私下进行。

欢迎关注 @CthulhuCA22 参与这场古神的派对，并向团队提出建议。
