Nothing is more important than that you see and love the beauty that is right in front of you, or else you will have no defense against the ugliness that will hem you in and come at you in so many ways.
― Neal Stephenson, Anathem
A game for making art with friends.
Oroboria is an experiment in social creativity. Can we collectively create something beautiful? At least, we can have fun trying.
How it works
1. Private Canvas - Select your starting set of shapes and colors. Share the link to invite your friends. Anyone with the link can join. Everyone starts with 20 stones that resupply every 5 minutes or so. Stones can be placed anywhere on the canvas (and can replace other stones) ad infinitum… or, until the host “completes” the canvas.
2. The World Canvas is open to everyone - You start with 3 stones picked from a base set. Every day you are resupplied one more stone than the number of stones played the previous day.
Your “influence” grows as you accumulate more stones playing each day. At any point, you can trade in your stones for different shapes and colors. These rarer stones weigh more, and so, are harder to replace. A stone on the World Canvas can only be replaced by a stone that outweighs it.
Oroboria is in public alpha
Expect improvements, bugs, breaking changes, rule changes, and a world of experiments to come. If you have questions, inquiries, or soemthing’s not working right, please email helloworld@oroboria.com
