## Artist Role Call

Message: We are looking for artists interested in co-designing parts of a virtual world that's heavily inspired by The Street from Snow Crash. The VR world will run in standard web browsers, feature a top notch avatar system, and have WebXR support.

We support workflows to import content from pretty much anywhere, so if you made something already in Cryptovoxels, Decentraland, Somnium Space, VRChat, or standalone we can explore bootstrapping from there instead if you wish.

- [ ] Create a flyer or quick rundown video
- [ ] Reach out to some of the top 3D artists and cryptoartists.

Artists

- JOY
- Josie
- Metageist
- Boomboxhead
- Alotta Money
- @DurkatWork

- marc0matic
- crypt0_baby
- glass_crane
- Polygonalmind
- robness cyberpop

Create template 3D models that can be retextured as a canvas for the artists

For parcels, the idea is that parcels have an outside presence in the street, and an inside that is infinite like a pokeball.

The outside presence is like a hologram of what the world inside contains.

If the parcel has an outside of say 16x16, or 4 fortnites by 4 fortnites, then the size of the hologram is 16x16.

The hologram would include whatever static content the parcel contains.

The center 16x16 must be static, so basically limited to GLTF/VRM/images/etc, and there is a resource limit beyond which it will just refuse to render. This is for performance reasons in the overworld.

You can press to enter any of these parcels/holograms just by going up to it. That will clear out the overworld, put you on the inside of the parcel, and the hologram becomes real.

Now you have the infinite space of the parcel to work with, with no constraints, and scripting is completely free to run.

You can make changes, and if you make changes inside that central "square" of the parcel, they will get reflected in the overworld
you can exit out to the overworld at any time
that's kind of the design being proto'd

## The Plan


---

have various sizes on the street

need height limit, will hurt UX without one

remember what colan did for gangnam, bought most of the CV district and turned it into the hottest neighborhood. inspiration from there for the overworld - beautifully made.

releasing too much too fast may make it hard for people to keep up, might lose interest

can either raise money, slow issuance of flux/grease after if fixed supply

maybe want something inflationary, fixed supply gets challenging for game / world economies
if fixed, will want to be slow to issue out

Token distribution strategy: 10% supply every season
would exhaust half supply in 1.5 years with 10% every 10 weeks

want early collectors to be aligned, not purely for financial reasons

we're in the golden age of experiments
smaller plays, seasons, building core community
allowing fomo to build vs trying to all at once

parcel sale
selling parcels in experimental phase, get content out
can always airdrop tokens out later
peter / drew / metadreamer want parcels

uxt / nick / greg notzelman want parcels
