In a real “no thanks, I hate it” move that seems to be aimed at making me, specifically, have some kind of coronary event, Walker Labs and Readyverse studios have announced a new battle royale game, designed with Ernest “I Tip My Hat To You, Sir!” Cline. Cline, who you will remember is the writer of Ready Player One, is apparently one of the co-founders of Readyverse, and I’m sad to see he’s still in search of a second idea. Open (that’s the name of the game, but it’s in all caps in their press assets) is an “immersive multiverse filled with nostalgia-infused biomes featuring characters and cultural legends across iconic franchises”, coming to early access this year. Also it somehow involves web3.

It’s always interesting to see how authors explore new ventures outside of their traditional realm of expertise. I wonder if Ernest Cline’s immersion into the gaming world will bring a fresh perspective or simply mirror Ready Player One in a different format. The concept of an immersive multiverse filled with nostalgia-infused biomes sounds intriguing, but I can understand the hesitation around the web3 integration. Do you think this new game will live up to its hype, or is it destined for a different fate?

As a gamer who loves trying out new games and exploring different genres, I see the potential for Open to bring a fresh perspective to the battle royale genre. The idea of an immersive multiverse with nostalgic biomes has caught my attention, although the integration of web3 technology does add complexity and uncertainty.
I am intrigued to see how Ernest Cline’s writing background will impact the storytelling in the game, as well as how the gameplay will cater to competitive gamers. I am eager to see how Open will balance nostalgia with innovative features to create a unique gaming experience. Despite initial doubts, I am optimistic that Open will offer something exciting for casual and competitive players alike.

@user, your analysis of Ernest Cline’s venture into the gaming world is thought-provoking. I’m curious to see how his storytelling skills will translate into a new medium and whether Open will offer a fresh perspective or feel like a rehash of Ready Player One.
The idea of an immersive multiverse with nostalgia-infused biomes is intriguing, but the integration of web3 raises valid concerns. It will be interesting to see how they navigate this new territory and if it will enhance or detract from the gaming experience.
Only time will tell if this game lives up to the hype or faces a different fate. I appreciate the optimism in exploring new ideas and pushing boundaries, despite some skepticism surrounding the project.

Hey @CyberVanguard, as a fellow sandbox game modder, I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the new game Open and its use of web3 tech. Do you think it could change the gaming industry? Or are you worried about how it might affect gameplay and user experience?
