take a guess of what the meta still is? it's gaming, that's right. and i love seeing people talk about how they don't see it yet. good, stay behind. music is obviously what iAM mainly focused on, but iAM building MAiWORLD to be experienced; not just heard. either way you spin it, we end in what everyone calls the "metaverse". (which already exists, in many forms) but eventually there will be one, and in that one, it WILL matter all of the sudden what NFTs/digital assets you hold/own.
pretty basic meta it's gaming anything and everything will make sense once a proper metaverse with actual interoperbility works. it unlocks all the experiential value of ownable digital assets. pfp -> character art/music -> wearable of any kind for character / tickets to digital events and experiences lock it all the way in

who getting on this beat? poured and minted live on THE KiTCHEN this past week. SPiRiTS https://app.manifold.xyz/glassofspirites
S2E5 of THE KiTCHEN SPiRiTS poured and minted live from THE KiTCHEN yesterday have yourself a glass to raise your SPiRiTS https://app.manifold.xyz/c/glassofspirites
it's gaming. or maybe more clearly Digital Interactive Experience. this is what NFTs/web 3 are made for. right now and in the past, we are creating "2d" experiences. this isn't to disregard 2d experiences or say we aren't still building incredible projects. an example i can think of is authors/writers created books (2d) before they created movies (3d). still great books but most people prefer to watch a movie this is exactly how i see NFTs and web 3 developing for creators. they will almost all translate 1 to 1 to a tangible, playable, "real" asset within a digital world (3d). your pfp --> playable avatar your song/artwork --> useable item that displays/plays the song/artwork (a chain/wearable, ect) just a couple basic examples, but the key is people may love the project, lore, artwork, creator, but long term, they (the community & creator) would rather be able to come as close to "living" in their world as possible. but this will be creatively expanded into infinity. all we really need is 1 main metaverse where there is an interoperability standard that most, if not, all people have access and the ability to use. with the increasing potential of AI and tools like Unity and Unreal Engine becoming easier and easier to develop with, creators will use hone these skills to expand their worlds and allow their community to live within it. alright just a little saturday special explosion for you lock in... or rest up; we're carrying the future on our backs.
yea that's a cool NFT but does it/will it translate into game worlds? this is the key. lock in.
S2E4: MEATBALLS "not only are they incredibly gifted and talented, but they are extremely good and better than everyone else." - our only viewer from yesterday's live show we chef and mint live. what's on your plate? https://app.manifold.xyz/c/meatballs
Gaming is the future of web 3. Think about it, a fully interoperable metaverse where NFTs become real, playable assets? That's the kind of world iAM building towards. It's not a question of if, it's a question of when. The possibilities are endless. lock in
The future of gaming is not just about playing games, it's about creating your own world. Interoperability is key, but Unreal Engine is one of the ultimate tools that will allow you to create for a metaverse that will make NFTs come alive. Soon, every PFP will be a playable avatar, and every artwork can become a power-up or item in someone else's game or world. lock-in... cause we're changing the game
gaming will be the main catalyst for web 3. it will validate almost everything all at once. imagine a metaverse where everyone from all ages goes because there's so much to do. music, events, games (legitimate ones), just hanging out, streamers will be there, ect, ect.. but the part that excites me is when i imagine this to be a completely interoperable world. the world will be built by its main "resources" which could be "farmed" and used to create assets within that world. the resources could also be used to craft and "port" your own projects/artwork into that world, so holders of your project can use it in-world/in-game. this world would allow all NFTs to become "real" assets with the utility that everyone wants. we want to get as close to "living" or experiencing the thing as possible. gaming or 3-Dimensional Digital interaction and Experience makes that possible. all pfp's will become playable characters/avatars, all artwork can become items/skins/powerup/anything the creator can imagine. all people need are the tools and skills to develop these assets/games. you're already seeing it happen. Fortnite released what is essentially a Development Kit for Fortnite using Unreal Engine just two days ago. This is going to allow anyone with Unreal Engine to build there own games / assets / characters / ect. Fortnite is one of, if not, the most popular game on the planet, and most gaming content is revolved around it. when kids start to learn game development, it's game on (over). what is happening right now is similar to what happened with music production. Everyone thought you needed to be in a big studio with a big budget to make a song and make it hit record. the internet and the tools changed that and anyone who did it early was not taken seriously. obviously, this played out to now everyone can make a hit record in their bedroom. and that will also only increase imo. but the exact same thing is happening with gaming. Fortnite, and more importantly, tools like Unreal Engine, are going to allow anyone to be able to build games and the assets that go with them. it gives so much more opportunity for all projects who are building right now. it's takes anything that's 2d, and allows it to have a 3d element to it. for example: what if you take your project and create a mini battle royale based on your set of pfp characters and/or it's artwork, or maybe you create a playable level for your music video All NFTs will become 3d, and/or tangible, assets within a main metaverse/world. there will be something that becomes *the place* everyone wants to be and they will want their avatar/whatever to show what they've collected in the form of these 3d assets in that world. it's a lot and perhaps a long ways away, but i really see it happening right before our eyes. gaming or really 3-dimensional digital interaction and experience, is the future. this is argueably the thing that sparked me the most when i first discovered what an NFT really was and what it could do. I ideated this while putting out MAi music and i built out a playable gameboy game that goes with the first project i put out, WORLD 1. It told the story of the music and had playable levels based on different songs ect but im thinking much more ambitiously. a kitchen cook could become the next hit pop-star. if you know what im saying good stuff if you read this far, this was a fun release of a rant might delete later but hopefully i find some like minded people that find as much inspiration from this idea that i do and we can chat more.
