**Goal:** Introduce players of the Night Run game to the Nouns meme and show via the video documenting the project how Nouns CC0 nature and proposal funding model enable cultural collaborations.

**Project Outline:**

* Night Run Game:
    * Incorporate 2D Nouns into the Night Run game by placing them on billboards which appear as you drive through the procedurally generated city
    * Incorporate 3D Nouns as huge lit up statues standing by the roadside
* Documentation Video:
    * A professionally produced YouTube video

**Video Content Outline:**

**Introduction**
* Brief explanation of Night Run
* An explanation of what Nouns is and how it works
* Creative inspiration for incorporating Nouns (and other CC0 works) into Night Run
* How the collaboration was enabled by the Nouns community both through the help of community members and via funding through the Nouns proposal process
* How Web3 projects can be composed to enable and fund interesting work to creative positive sum outcomes and cultural impact
* What will it look and feel like?: 
    * The video will include a mixture of on camera footage of Matto talking, footage of the game and graphics. 
    * There are examples of other devlog videos in the series playlist linked above.

**How and when will the game be released?** Night Run has a working playable prototype now and is being rebuilt in a full production version for release on Steam, available to the public free of charge. Our target for release is Q1 2023.

**The Team:** Thousand Ant 1 is a digital agency with a focus on realtime 3D and game development. We work with organizations like Unity Technologies, Google, Microsoft, Terraforms by Mathcastles and JuiceboxDAO to help them create games, animations and educational content to inspire developers and creators.

Matto (aka Matt Schell) is the Managing Director of Thousand Ant and a generative artist working with code, realtime visuals and procedural audio. He’s released music for respected labels like Warp Records and also formerly served as the global head of online evangelism for Unity Technologies. He is a member of the Friends With Benefits DAO and is a community contributor to web3 projects including Crypts and Caverns, Terraforms by Mathcastles. Thousand Ant has recently released our own first NFT collection Hypercastle Explorers, a project which is building a game engine SDK for Terraforms.

Suspicious Seaweed (aka Tom Schell) is the Head of Operations for Thousand Ant.

**Timeline:** The integration should take between 4 and 6 weeks from receipt of funding. The video will be delivered 2 weeks after the integration is complete. It will be “built in public” via the Thousand Ant Discord.

Funds Requested: 20ETH
