Something I haven't talked much about: what exactly is The Pentaract going to do? This is probs important info for any #GameDev that's wondering how they can make use of my work. 🧵

First, it's a dashboard for developers to manage their games on ATProto. Create, update, and delete all your game info in one place.

Next: a claim/migration system. We'll create game records in the @gamesgamesgamesgames.games PDS, then developers can claim their games and migrate them to their own PDS for total ownership.

Once that's built: an IGDB ingestion engine. This pulls all the games and data from IGDB into the @gamesgamesgamesgames.games repo, giving us a massive starting catalog.

The payoff: developers can onboard and claim their games. Platforms already using IGDB can migrate with relative ease. Games exist on protocol, developers own them, platforms can integrate.

I love everything about this idea so much.
