Rick takes us through ggQuest's journey from an idea to a working product with a growing user base and industry attention. It's a fun and insightful founder story that tackles common roadblocks and offers unique approaches to overcoming them.

Two key ideas stand out:

1. Using hackathons to find development resources and build your MVP
2. Permissionless building to get your foot in the door

This may be our most valuable episode yet for new and aspiring builders.

On this episode, I talk with Open Ape (@ape_open) from Fractional Uprising Studios about Open Season, their third-person shooter pitting various NFT communities against each other in a multiplayer battle on JPEG Island. We discuss:

• The founding principles of Fractional Uprising Studios
• The reasons why they have avoided VC funding and bootstrapped the project
• The role of community in the development and success of their projects
• Their partnership with Sanko and their SankoTV event
• The many ways in which NFT projects can participate in Open Season
• Their unique NFT membership model and the opportunity that represents for their holders
• The many challenges of launching a multiplayer web3 game

This is a fun and unique project that is actually shipping. Come and learn how they're doing it and how you can get involved. And then get in there and join the fight, collect some beans, and earn some $FU money.
