SlingShot DAO, a game idea launcher, has created a platform that aims to democratize game creation, leaving it up to users to decide which game to add to the platform. Anyone can submit their game ideas, which are then voted on via the DAO gaming community on the SlingShot app. The most popular ideas are then lit for development and funded by the SlingShot DAO treasury. A SlingShot representative further stated:
“Our platform invites all demographics of the gaming ecosystem to work together, fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation.”
Live on Roblox and The Sandbox, Web2 and Web3 players will be able to play on the platform. The DAO allows all players to bring their game ideas to the vote so Web3 players can use the governance vote to add a new game to the network.
All subsequent game and voting revenue goes back to the app’s Web3 community via SLING tokens. SlingShot DAO also rewards voters and creators with SLING, while game studios can earn USDC, SLING, and 20% of game revenue, all of which can be used to support future game development projects.
SlingShot DAO launched on May 5 with the intention of giving gamers greater influence over the games they play, as well as bringing users together “to collaboratively imagine, design and create the next breakthroughs in gaming worlds. virtual”. It is backed by a number of crypto gaming industry leaders, including Animoca Brands, Dragonfly Capital, DCG, and Sfermion.
Still in its infancy, SlingShot DAO was created to change the way games are created, decided upon, and launched. The platform has the potential to empower gamers and give them greater interest in the games they play.
