Meta#20 - Monday Meetup, Community Feedback & Updates
Let’s just get straight into it:
First things first, we’re doing a SourceCred x MetaGame meetup on Monday 15th, 11am PST - be there.
We summoned the DAO last week! Disregarding the gas & tx problems, it was pretty damn epic. The attendees got this sweet sweet achievement NFT:
Hammad wanted to start distributing Seeds yesterday, but turned out there’s a minor bug to be fixed in SourceCred first 🤷♂️
Also, if your contribution is missing or you think it hasn’t been properly accounted for, get in touch through Discord!
Profiles took a step back as we went through a design sprint; defining all the needed elements & the profile creation flow. You can check the new flow here.
That How MetaGame Works post was published.
The How to Play thread was updated & more people completed the intro quests.
Then there was this feedback form…
Feedback Form Feedback
Last week we figured it’s time to ask the people what do they like about MetaGame, what do they hate about it, how well they understand it & what they want to do next.
How much do you like MetaGame?
So far, so good!
How well do you understand MetaGame?
The fact that not a single person answered 10/10 is kind of worrysome 😅
But ok, let’s get into qualitative feedback:
What do you like or hate about MetaGame?
I like/hate having to be extremely vigilant about game-changing possibilities
The active participation of the members
The hope for a brighter future through technology.
I like how accessible and open it is
People in this community.
I like the mission, and the culture already of do as much as possible. I don't like that sometimes I feel out of place, and that I can't contribute directly yet.
You’re not out of place! If you like the idea & you like the community; you’re at the right place! If you can’t contribute directly yet, just make some friends 🙂
I love the idea of a self-bootstrapping ecosystem that is based on voluntary contribution; one that aims to measure and reward behavior that existing economic markets do not.
Inclusiveness of the community
Love the free-flowing collaboration, dislike the current complexity of figuring out how to claim seeds etc.
I like the idea but hate how confusing the website it
Truth! 😬 We have a lot of work to do in making everything simpler.. If you have any ideas on how to make it less confusing, let us know :)
I like the innovation and idea behind it. Most importantly, I learned a lot being around here.
Awesome to hear! That’s the whole point, we’re just still too focused on building the core infrastructure :/
that sadly the project is not further than it's infancy
Yeeeeah :/… Hopefully we’ll be able to accelerate once we launc the Seed Market.
the energy, the techy and experiment spirit ... against the status quo
the people
Community feels fragmented and very disorganized.
Hey now! It’s decentralized & distributed; that’s what you’re supposed to say 😝! Jk, yeah, we have our problems. Think they stem from being a DAO & trying to bring together many people of diverse backgrounds. Not insurmountable though :)
I love how MetaGame is constantly searching for a balanced and inclusive solution for everyone. I also really like the way the XP and Seed system works on a theoretical level.
I can't sell / buy SEED.
Know we’ve been saying this for a long time, but, soon! 😂
Inclusivity
I like the mission, the onboarding has been chaotic, still don't exactly know how to start helping someone with code.
Yeeeah, the onboarding itself is all over the place too. This How to Play thread is touted as the easiest way, but not the only way. The easiest is probably just writing “hey, I want to help” on Discord, and waiting for someone to get in touch :).
The gamification is the key part IMO
It's a full time job to keep up with the communication. One I don't really have time for :/
The fact that I still didn't understand a damn shit about it
😂 it gets better!
Not surprising that most of what people like is the inclusivity & the community. Also not surprising that most of what they hate is the complexity. MetaGame is kind of all over the place, promise to work harder on bringing all the pieces close together and making it all easier to understand.
What do you want to do or build in MetaGame?
There was a lot of answers as to what people want to be working on insidside & around MetaGame, but I won’t be going through all of that for the sake of not making this email super-long.
A lot of answers were fascinating, and I’d really love it if everyone answering this question actually stepped up - especially whoever it is that wants to “build the quest engine”!
Whoever is ready to start working on whatever it is they suggested (no matter if MetaGame related or not), do get in touch with me over Discord @peth.eth :)
Any other feedback?
You're doing amazing, but we could use some sort of a map.
The more I learn about MetaGame, the more excited I become about this idea :)
Love the project, keep this rolling!
Just love it!
Misss you, hoping to come back when there are more clear paths to contribution.
Been bingereading and did a first quest, and probably just continue ;)
<3
Please level up your game
It's a really interesting project and I hope I can figure out a meaningful way to contribute.
Notes taken! Thank you very much for taking part in the survey, it has been very useful. And yes! Promise to grind and level up our game ⚔️
Love you,
