👨👩👧👧 Meet up in person at our 1st ever WatchParty!
A look into the features we want to build and an invitation to our first ever WatchParty on July 7th @ 7PM
One of the main impetus for building OurWorld is to create a ‘Social’ media platform that would encourage you to get together in the real world, we want to bring back the joy of watching, discussing, and shaping stories—together.
We think the following set of features would do that
📺 Scheduled Episodes – scheduled releases with live chat and community voting to steer story outcomes (i.e. vote on what should happen in the next episode!).
You could still catch up on demand after the fact, but you could only vote for a limited time.
🪄 LivePlays – Real-time storytelling where viewer choices shape the characters’ decisions (i.e. direct the character in real time!)
🥭 Digital Currency (Mango1) – Will reward community engagement and allow you to influence the story path
and most importantly for the sake of this post:
👨👩👧👧 WatchParties – Virtual and in-person events that deepen shared viewing experiences. The basic idea is that, because episodes and LivePlays allow the audience to vote on what will happen next, you will have a vested interest in arguing it out with your friends and betting on the story outcomes
Now, while we don’t have these features built out today. We will be hosting our first ever IRL2 WatchParty at one of the community classrooms in Pier 57 in Manhattan on Monday, July 7th at 7PM . There will be free dumplings! RSVP via Partiful
Bring a friend, all are invited. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Why Mango? It’ll make sense after episode 5. But honestly, it doesn’t matter
