BOUGIE — A metaverse project but not just another metaverse
The whole world is eager to build metaverses. However, many of them are video games powered by blockchain and NFT technology that consider themselves ‘metaverses’. In this case, the route Bougie takes is distinctly different. While others focus on their own metaverses, trying to make them as engaging as possible, we are not trying to build one more metaverse, we want to enable the infinite source of collective creativity from the community through a sophisticated content-based ecosystem. In other words, the quality of our metaverse rests in the hands of our users. This means that our focus will be on unlocking and accommodating the actualization of that collective creativity.
A similar concept has already been introduced in the games industry when Roblox pioneered an online platform where users play games created by other users. On Roblox, playing games is not the only fun, making them is too. Well inspired by this, Bougie is like Roblox for the TV format industry where users attend TV shows created by other users. This industry will be like a stepping stone for us to start connecting the metaverses with mainstream entertainment with the aim of transforming them. The platform will not only work on just one metaverse, it will be able to be delivered on multiverses. And it is not just about games or game shows, it is about the whole entertainment industry.
Who makes game shows on Bougie?
Anyone. You do not have to be a skilled developer to develop a virtual game show on Bougie. The platform contains a range of tools for game show development that can be used by just about anyone. You can play one or multiple roles on this platform as Content Creators, Show Producers or Audiences.
In our creative studio, Content Creators do not only create personalised assets like avatars and cosmetic items but also stage assets like backdrops and lighting. And peerlessly, you can even create game show format through a trailblazing suite of tools in the scenario editor. We provide a sandbox environment for testing as well. Those assets and scenarios once being approved will be traded on the marketplace where creators can make money.
Show Producers are key buyers on the marketplace. They are going to shop for stages, characters, game show formats and even space and time slots to conduct the shows.
Audiences can be spectators or players. In our metaverse, you do not only watch the shows but also interact with them in every possible way.
Is Bougie free?
Watching TV shows on the platform is totally free, you can even earn a lot of money by interacting more with the shows. You only get to pay for customization you want to make such as cosmetic items and skin. For every transaction, 85% of the revenue will be put into event prize pools to attract more players. Each show is unique, so in-app purchases will definitely vary.
What if I don’t have a VR headset?
We aim at both maximum immersiveness and maximum accessibility. In other words, we adopt the latest technology available on all kinds of different devices. Sometimes using virtual reality to be fully immersed, sometimes using augmented reality glasses so you can be present in the physical world and sometimes just on a smartphone watching livestream or video calls.
Moreover, as we’re well aware that for interactive use cases, low latency is a business-critical consideration, we develop our own streaming protocol to support operations that require near real-time access to rapidly changing data.
What’s the future of Bougie?
Bougie is going to enable experience on the next level for TV shows and the TV industry at large. We also want to develop and support a community of young developers who distribute their game show creations on Bougie. Through this, the company will create a metaverse functioning like a parallel non-scripted TV industry. There will be Bougie-developed shows, Bougie developers, and own Bougie conferences. With Bougie’s continued growth, we hope its creators will gain widespread recognition in the future. In addition, we are excited to bring familiar TV shows to our platform so intellectual property acquisition will be one of our key actions. To move beyond this niche segment and begin to serve a much broader audience, user experience is of paramount importance and being the centre of our business.
