In part 1, we asked how we can play a game together when we don’t know the rules to the game yet. Wild Awake is an experiment in scene building. And while we don’t know the rules yet, we can delineate several things that determine how we play the game. First, there’s the idea of open-world game play, where the actions of users determine their own narrative. Second, there’s the notion of delight and surprise - meaning that players need unexpected elements to keep them active. Next up are more elements that trigger continued engagement.

When people get their hands on these technologies that have a more radical approach before it gets super corporatized incredible things can happen.

What we’re doing with Wild Awake is to see what it means to create an open-world game inside the ecosystem of Web3 music.

Clyma makes sense of electronic music through nature, bringing listeners to nature through electronics.

We build trust together, knowing that the music is good, that the mission is needed, that everyone involved is valuable

Rilles’ music takes you into their world, but then you’ll displace that with your own ideas and thoughts as the music takes you centre stage.

Wild Awake wants to become a hub where the give-and-take between musicians and listeners sits in an equilibrium.

And so I started experimenting with samples, and for me, that completely cut the tie with me being in my head.

Throughout all this runs our desire for counterculture. We are endlessly curious and push for experimentation.
