What's it?
It's an attempt to create a game on fediverse.
The game is similar to Clash Royale, a Real Time Strategy game using cards (if you don't know what Clash Royale is, think of it like a tower defense in real time, where your cards turn into troops)
How the game works?
Each player create your own deck with the available cards in the server.
Play a multiplayer game (1x1 only), the winner is the one who destroy the enemy's towers first.
What does it have to do with fediverse?
First of all, if you don't know what the fediverse is, here is a brief explanation:
Think of it like different platforms interacting with each other, it's usually used for social networks (like mastodon). So just to clarify: imagine that you created your account on Facebook and your friend created an account on Twitter, considering that both platforms are federated, you can easily talk with your friend, even if you don't have an account on Twitter, you would be able to find your friend by searching for something like: your-friend@twitter.com where the @twitter.com is the server name (your username would be your-username@facebook.com)
Obviously other features like follow, liking posts etc. works just fine like you normally would do in your twitter or some other social network.
How the game applies to that?
Now that you have some idea of what the fediverse is, let's understand how Wild League would fit into that.
Like I said above, the core game is around cards and decks.
In a common game, the player would choose some cards from the ones available and play and that's all, basically.
What we want to do is to give players the ability to decide whether or cards are good and fun enough or not, it means that if the player think that my server sucks, he is totally free to create his own server with his own cards.
The turning point here is that his server would be compatible with mine (because of the fediverse thing), so we still would be able to play together - even with different cards - me on my server ropoko@wildleague.org and him on his server him@whatever.com.
Conclusion
That's the general idea, I've been working on that for some time now and I still have a lot to do.
If the idea sounds interesting to you let me know (if you think that it sucks let me know too).
The game is open source ;) github
