This post kinda blew my mind. I'm surprised we've seen so little of simple "wind up" worlds/games on web3. It's such an obvious & huge market/opportunity. Coining it now: wind up web3. It's coming.

Replying to

and

The reason why wind up games are fun comes in part from the imagination + world building from the randomness. Which is perfect for web3 because you can also keep the history of all wind-up games. The longer they play, the more the world builds itself. + API for expansion packs.
