I am not super versed in farmfarmer but I was interested in how this was different and went to the section: "How is this different than Farm Farmer?" to see... and yet unless I missed something you didn't say anything how it was actually different. Like for real how is it different what are we testing?
Its my guess that if the game did seem way different and like you were testing some new cool system of hive engine that more people would appreciate the social and technical experiment. But my perhaps untrained eyes don't see a unique test going on.
But I guess perhaps the market will decide and maybe the experiment is how much appetite is there for similar games etc.
In theory the idea of bringing in lots of people to play lots of different games on hive (or not so different games) is spot on. If this post was about efforts to bring them in that would be literally a different story. If its the same hive or splinterlands people playing then not as exciting and kind of destroys the idea... so any stats about how many new people it brought in will be welcomed by us all I'm guessing.
One other interesting positive aspect is that what could be said is how games can be created with speed and ease on Hive. That is an angle I find encouraging and should be a story to share with people that they can make something awesome and hive and hive engine will not be roadblocks to their development but help with part of things and they can focus on unique game play concepts
