dark forest is an open-source project and anyone is welcome to use, take inspiration from, or build on top of the game or any of its technology!

but to the extent that there's any confusion about whether this is an effort primarily stemming from the former core team...

as the creator of dark forest: neither myself nor to the best of my knowledge any of the co-creators of DF have any affiliation to or knowledge about this project

the only former contributor who i'm aware is involved is Scott Sunarto ◢ ✦ ◣, who contributed to DF for ~12wks in 2020

the Lattice team is probably the single most exciting place for an Ethereum engineer to be working right now. we could only have dreamed of the MUD stack in the dark forest days (fittingly, most of the original DF team works on or with lattice these days...)

A new community-run Dark Forest round from our friends at DF Archon starts in 3 days!

We are proud to announce ─
the 10 Autonomous Worlds finalists! 🌐

🧱 OPCraft2
🤑 Coin Race
🧬 Autonomous Game of Life
🍩 Netherscape
🎲 MUDVRF
🗺️ Realm of Pepe
🎨 Isle of Colors
💎 Garnet
⚔️ PFP WAR
🚢 Trade Wars

👇/🧵 This is the first hackathon of its kind. More info below

2/ Building AWs used to be a massive undertaking; dark forest took 1+ yr to make and was hard to modify.

Lattice’s MUD framework was created to solve this and, with OPCraft, showed it’s possible to build an AW from scratch in the span of a month or even a hackathon

Hack with us on some new games and autonomous worlds, alongside ETHGlobal, 0xPARC, and Lattice!

we're working on some new ZK projects in Vietnam - join us, along with researchers and developers from EF PSE and 0xPARC!

Introducing Words3, an on-chain PvP word game on @optimismFND

In the game, you place letters on a grid to spell words. Each letter has a fluctuating price. Make ETH by scoring points and when others use your letters.

You have 6 days to play at words3.xyz

recently spoke with MIT's MIT Technology Review about dark forest and 0xPARC! check out this article from Mike Orcutt, featuring justin glibert ✳️ nibnalin on daimo.

and of course, shoutout to the OG df team ivan @alanluo_0 kooshaba Blaine Bublitz and many more
