The "world" can be thought of as a "box that brings various entities together". "Rules" determine how entities behave within this "world" cube.
Autonomous Worlds Network: "New forms of computation enable fundamentally new kinds of virtual worlds. Autonomous Worlds are not just worlds that happen to exist on-chain, but worlds that could not exist otherwise."
Therefore, the current "world" exists in CHIC's first product, "Genesis Diary"; digital humans will be the native residents there, including "you". CHIC is creating a "boundary" that will grow larger until it becomes your "Second Life".
To illustrate with a simple example:
Apple and META's glasses create: hard boundaries. They blur your real world through spatial computing in a physics-based model.
CHIC creates: soft boundaries. It blurs your real world through blockchain, generative AI, and other deep technologies and consensus mechanisms to introduce "rules".
The first rule of this "world" is that "players need to have citizenship" to own CHIC's unique "passport & account" to collect your virtual life assets. This is the "essence of the world": economy & governance & identity; and more "world elements" will appear in future boundaries.
Before understanding "rules", I think everyone already knows that the "world" here is different from the "virtual space (world)" you're in. Naturally, the "rules" are different too.
Autonomous Worlds Network: "Rule production as gameplay is a well-suited mechanic to experiment with this affordance as it encourages players to devise ways for the rules of a game to expand such that they continue to provide the tension and novelty necessary to invite continued participation."
However, the most common problem with autonomous worlds is that no players want to develop APIs to create ecosystems and rules. PGN can solve this problem. While generative AI might be criticized for centralization in most world mechanisms, CHIC cares more about ambiguity and fun than full autonomy.
Perhaps in the future, players will have a high probability of "creating their own NPCs" to build the "world script" they want. Generative AI will make the "exploratory nature" of autonomous worlds beyond game categories a reality. Can you imagine how the world mechanism will be shaped by Dove AI's "virtual life LLM" in Llama 3? What kind of world will this interaction based on LLM and AI-virtual assets create?
So what’s the appeal of writing a diary?
To answer this question, you need to know that CHIC is inspired by Lootverse. I really like Scrypted Inc.’s tagline “We Write Worlds.” In CHIC, the word “Write” corresponds to the player’s “Create.” It’s not just an ordinary diary. It’s not just an “exchange diary” either. You can think of it as a prototype of UGC (User-Generated Content) in simpler terms. However, your creation involves “writing a diary” and interacting with dApps.
When the game service ends, CHIC will not end. Your data and assets will persist because this world exists as on-chain information. From the user's perspective, the current P2E is no different from traditional games, except that items become NFTs. Even if the game closes, users still "cannot log in to the game," so the permanence of game items is not a pain point for players.
This form of autonomous world makes it possible for traditional games or FOCG to "use their NFTs in another autonomous world or metaverse." This unique advantage will develop more "space" through generative AI and NFTs. This is Raphael's...
This is the "world consensus," but I believe players here have a question: "How can we play without rules? How do we know what rules to create?" This is why Dove AI is seen as a mentor by the team. She possesses all of CHIC's "knowledge," and we hope she can achieve something similar to "knowledge sharing." Although CHIC is not entirely "autonomous," we hope the team can "create their own life." The team believes that "creating rules" will potentially be supported by Dove AI, helping everyone "create what you want to create."
