Instead of building new games, we focus on creating casual, educational content and interactive experiences that introduce gamers to Sei in a fun and accessible way.\nSpecific Examples of Our Content:\n“SEI Play Sessions” Video Series: This flagship series will feature Couch Gaming team members and special guests playing through different SEI-based games, explaining game mechanics, tips, and the overall experience in real-time. Each session will cover a different game, highlighting unique features and strategies to help players feel more comfortable jumping in. For example, if a new trading card game launches on SEI, we’ll showcase a full walkthrough, cover deck-building tips, and provide commentary to help viewers learn the game effortlessly.\n“Let’s Talk Tactics” Breakdown Videos: These shorter, focused videos will break down complex gaming strategies into simple, digestible segments. Imagine a strategy game with multiple units and complex interactions—“Let’s Talk Tactics” will help players master the basics and build confidence. This series will serve as a quick reference for players who want to get better without sifting through hours of tutorials.\nInteractive Tournaments and Challenges: Couch Gaming will host regular casual tournaments and in-game challenges for both new and experienced players. For example, we might run a “Speedrun Challenge” for an action RPG, where the goal is to complete a dungeon in the fastest time. These events will have a casual, welcoming atmosphere, where the focus is more on learning and having fun rather than winning.\n“Game Guides & Deep Dives”: We will create detailed, step-by-step game guides for new titles, explaining everything from setting up a SEI wallet to advanced game strategies. Each guide will include visuals, gameplay footage, and real-world analogies to make complex blockchain concepts more relatable. For example, a guide for a new SEI-based MMORPG would cover everything from character creation to understanding the game’s economic systems.", "hidden": true, "question": "How does your project create value for the Sei Web3 gaming ecosystem?

These player spotlights will not only celebrate the community’s achievements but also serve as educational content for others.\nWeekly Polls and Community Voting: To ensure that the community feels involved, we’ll run regular polls on Twitter and Discord to decide which games or topics we should cover next. For example, if a new game launches on SEI, we might ask: “Should our next video be a full walkthrough, a strategy guide, or a review?” This keeps our content aligned with what the community wants to see.\nEvent Recaps & Highlights: After hosting a tournament or a live Q&A, we’ll produce highlight videos and summaries, sharing key moments, funny interactions, and the community’s feedback.
