Genies

We’ve been building avatars for years and our mission has always revolved around how avatars can help humans capture and socialize their inner selves. So we’re building an avatar social network to do just that. Meet Genies Party 🪅 With current social media platforms primarily focusing on external self-expression, which often leads to judgment, conformity, and limited authenticity, we’re building a social network that enables humans to not only learn about their inner selves, but also meet like minded individuals 👯🏽 What makes this a game changer? All the Experiences within Genies Party will be fully interoperable, and powered by our budding community of artists building assets through The Workshop, and developers building Experiences through the Dev Kit 🖤 To learn more: https://lnkd.in/gCH6dPcZ If you’re a developer, artist, or creative, join our community to learn how you can contribute to our crowd-sourced ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/gZz8GJ_y #developer #gamedev #technicalartist #3ddesign #unity #avatar

Team 🔋 Andrew Chambers has come on board to help lead the game mechanics for how interoperability will work and how it will power the identity layer for the future of the internet.
