Introducing Connect=ed!

cultures, and ways of life?”

“What if our virtual future could be created by “players” for “players.”

One, giant, Connect=ed world.

======= Our Mission =======

Connect=ed a playful, family-friendly, first step toward our one-day goal of "Real Life Digitally."

The video in context!

Years ago I pitched the following vision:

This is the text of the video

We have a big vision… that one day the digital world will be as real to people as the physical.

We have a dream that one day whole civilizations & cultures will develop in the digital world as they did in the physical.

A new reality with HUGE potential.

-----------------------

Most people today discount digital worlds as “unreal” or “subpar”... but something is happening. Something is changing. Deep under the surface, a new world is rising and it began with MMO’s.

Digital homes,

Digital schools & workplaces,

Digital friends and family (real people),

Digital lives,

Digital expressions…

And one day

Digital, civilization.

What we are experiencing is not unreal or subpar but a taste of the future. It’s a revolution in what people see as real. It’s the beginning of a new way of doing things.
11
More on the video:

Connect=ed is not trying to do "real life digitally", rather we are doing an experiment.

We are asking the question:

What would it take to build a real society in a virtual space?

How can we build a virtual space in which people feel truly free?

Connect=ed is all about growing our skills and learning through trial how to make meaninful virtual worlds.

By making a family friendly, easily accessible concept we can gain the experience and knowledge to be part of a revolution that will shape our generation.
12
We as a community have been working hard gaining experience.

Together we:

We know the danger that pitching a big vision like this poses.

Rather, we are looking to do something MUCH simpler, much more step-by-step.
25
Common Development Pitfalls:

Often times, game developers have big dreams but underestimate the grid. They burn out not seeing the results they hope or take on a project well beyond their skillset.
26
We are shooting for flexibility:

We believe virtual worlds have unlimited potential to revolutionize how we connect, however, virtual worlds today are shallow, directionless and often the home of trolls and griefers.

This project seeks to discover the key to connecting people and to do that we require extreme flexibility.
27
Iteration & node-based flexibility

Rather than developing ONE BIG virtual world, we are shooting to create small slices we call "nodes."

1 node for foraging/farming

1 node for mining

1 node for a city

Then we tie them together through a shared currency, inventory and reputation system.
28

We are shooting to get each node done in about 2-3 months allowing us to iterate and experiment with ideas until we learn what it takes to really bring people together in a virtual environment.

If people don't donate, then we won't have enough funds to spend on marketing and growing the game.

In the end, more funds spent on the game means more funds to go around.

Would you reconsider?

We are exprimenting with a brand new concept:

A game made by a whole community, for that community.
60
So, we though, what if we give 100% of what P1 Connect=ed makes back to the community itself! 🥳
61
Right now we are still in the concept phase but it works like this:

Jobs = Hours

Hours are used to buy Golden Eagles, which are a % of P1 Connect=ed's future revenue.

Community Rules - Please check each of them to show you agree!* This field is required.What we're building here fundamentally is a community and there are certain rules that help communities thrive! 😍
🤐 Gossip -- Gossip is a poison which destroys any great positive community. Here at P1 Creators, it's banned. If you have a problem with someone or something, take it to the single relevant party privately and inform them in a constructive way so they can improve! As a member you promise to never involve yourself in gossip by either spreading it or hearing it out without directing the gossiper to a more constructive outlet.
🛑 Bans -- If you break the community rules you may be banned. As a member you promise to take the ban maturely. Contacting the staff member who banned you or talking badly about them is not mature. Gossiping, blackmail, acts of revenge or “making your case” to others is not mature. You agree and accept those terms. You agree to take up your case via the P1 ban form alone: https://form.jotform.com/63241387457966. Most bans are easily overturned if you apologize and make it right.
