🧩 0:00 – 0:05 | Welcome & Introductions

• Quick intro to the Code, Clout & Crypto series: why this AMA exists
• Introduce each speaker/project with a 30–60 sec pitch (“Give us the TL;DR on your game and what makes it uniquely Web3.”)

🚀 0:05 – 0:15 | Why Build in Web3?

• What motivated your team to explore Web3 game mechanics?
• What pain points or limitations in traditional game design are you solving with blockchain?
• Who are you building for — crypto-native players, traditional gamers, or both?

🎯 Goal: Establish intent and audience. Highlight each project's unique angle.

🧬 0:15 – 0:25 | What Role Does Digital Identity Play?

• How do you define player identity in your game?
• Do players build a persistent (decentralized) profile based on achievements, social interactions, or other signals?
• How do you see in-game personhood evolving with decentralized identity?
• Do you see player agency improving with decentralized identity?

🎯 Goal: Spotlight how identity is tracked, expressed, and used as a progression or social layer.

💎 0:25 – 0:35 | In-Game Assets, Ownership & Interoperability

• What kinds of assets exist in your game — characters, items, loot, badges, XP, etc.?
• Are any of these assets on-chain? Why or why not?
• Do you imagine players being able to trade or move their assets across games or platforms someday?

🎯 Goal: Get honest about what’s real today vs. future-looking. Let projects compare tradeoffs of on-chain vs off-chain design.

🌍 0:35 – 0:43 | The Future of Onchain Gaming

• What does a truly Web3-native game world look like to you in 3–5 years?
• If players "own" their identities and assets, how does that change your job as a game designer?
• What innovations (tech or cultural) are you watching closely? Any projects, other than your own, that you’ve seen doing something worth imitating or exploring further?

🎯 Goal: Inspire vision. Let the builders dream a little and connect with each other’s ideas.

🔚 0:43 – 0:45 | Wrap-Up & Call to Action

• Quick shout from each project: “Where can people go to play, explore, or get involved with what you're building?”
