Introducing Creator Success: a new way to get funded to build in Decentraland.
The program is designed to help you move from an early idea to a tested, funded game project.
A big part of that is our new AI Game Design Skills, which help turn a rough concept into a structured Game Design Document (GDD), covering things like your core loop, social play, retention and scope. They can also help you rapidly prototype your idea in Decentraland.
The steps:
💡 Shape your idea with Game Design Skills
📝 Build a clear GDD
💸 Apply for $1,000 in initial funding
🎮 Build, playtest and improve your game
📈 Progress to further funding rounds if the project performs well
Applications are open now.

“Creative privilege” is an interesting concept.
If I understand it correctly, it’s the luxury of having the opportunity to learn through trial and error. To practice, build momentum, gain confidence, and try again. Eventually, you succeed. And that success gives you the confidence to do it again.
But read it for yourself. 👇

I spoke this morning at VDS about AI in creative practice, and I said that AI does not, and will not, democratise creativity.
Quite a few people in the audience talked with me after about this. So, it seems like a good time to start sharing!

Sharing this link is also a step to share with you Creative Privilege (creativeprivilege.com/), a wider project I'm researching and writing in my spare time.

1/9 The past three months in #Decentraland have been some of the most fun I've had in five years. Today, October 15, marks the end of a personal three-month challenge: explore, build, participate, and discover what's possible. I'm excited about what comes next.
What happens when you put your game in front of 15 players and just watch what they do?
This week's @decentraland Creator Success playtests gave us fab lessons on difficulty, frustration, onboarding and the stuff I break.
Here's what we learned 🧵
🤖 Made with AI
6/10 More features aren't always the answer.
One game had grown with new rewards, cool combat and multiplayer.
But some players still struggled with mobile controls, inventory, and unclear feedback.
Sometimes the best next feature is making it easier to play.
