This is an idea... a plan...
One I have had many years to think about. But never have I had even close to an opportunity to put it into motion. Since this year has been complete shit for the most part, I am now going to push forward on this plan.
This post will be a manifesto of sorts, a roadmap if you will... a basic outline of what I intend and how I intend to accomplish what I want to accomplish.
The world of Union City is something I created a long time ago with a friend of mine. A vision of our own Earth set a thousand years in the future. Cybernetics and self-genetic-manipulation have become the order of the day. And power rests with the corporations, sometimes even above the governments.
It is not a unique backdrop no, but I hope to make this thing you have all likely heard time and again be something of interest. Something worth spending time on.
Today I put out a test tournament on Splinterlands. To the winner of this test tournament goes not very much in the way of spoils. Mostly because I'm not entirely willing to throw a lot of DEC at it just yet. Also, I'm more interested in hearing everyone tell me the things they like, dislike and think could have been done differently/better/without being such a dumbass.
So tell me below what you want to see in tournaments... and more importantly, why?
Assume that in this plan... this will be Step 0.
Step 1 - The First Step
I will be releasing some short stories on here set entirely in the world of Union City. This is something I know I can do and something I have already done. So pretty easy for me to deliver on.
Step 2 - That Step After That First One
The Union City Herald will begin with weekly issues similar to The Mortis Gazette. Only these will be set in Union City itself. You, the reader, will learn about the society from the bright and sunny tip top down to the dingy and smoky bottom.
The above two steps I KNOW I can deliver on... so consider those more or less checked off the list.
The next steps will be harder.
Step 3 - Either buy or build a template for a game. I want it to be attached to the Hive network and the Hive engine. The big problem is I can't code (yet) and I don't have the funds to pay anyone to code it.
This is where the tournaments come in. I intend to use these, after having them deemed worthy by anyone wishing to participate in them, to build a small base upon which to build.
I do not think it will be easy, and I have no idea if it will work but I know that if I can learn where to put my words and ideas, I can make something memorable.
So there you go, the start of my plan as I see it.
Now anyone who reads this, know that I am burning all Hive Rewards from this post because I do not want to make money on it, I genuinely just want opinions from anyone reading it.
Let me have it, anything from "dipshit move dude" to "could be interesting" to "moar wordses plez"... really anything will be helpful, so let loose.
