"making progress", but not all linear. 😂 Also true, we are "struggling" to make the first lesson. Lots of debates on what it should look like, what gaming engine to use, features, animation, interactions to include, or not. Start up mode all over again. Like good old times.
Took a while, but finally got one lesson going, in an installable Apk. This is a screen recording of the App from my phone. (The poor video cutting also done by me😂. There was audio, but the cutting made it sound weird.)
This is a "testnet" lesson. We are still changing quite a bit of it. Don't read too much into it. This version is mainly for me to confirm that we got a complete team that can actually produce something.
This involved a lot more than what meets the eye. We had to design the characters, the content, make animations, make audio, use a game engine, and a whole bunch of developers. 😂
Will find a way to streamline the process going forward. Keep building.
btw, we moved the goal post a little bit again since a few weeks ago. We are starting at a much earlier age now, 2-3 year olds.
Start at the beginning, instead of somewhere in the "middle", and hopefully keep growing with our community, for 18 (or more) years...
Initially, our dev capacity may lag behind a bit, but we intend to catch up once we get to the scaling phase.
We wanted the @GiggleAcademy logo to show youth, fun, positive energy, and growth. We also want to show respect to our “Binance heritage”.
1. The logo is a child’s face, symbolizing youth.
2. The smiling face is made of the “Gi” characters (rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise), as in “Gi”ggle.
3. The curved “i” is a wink. Fun and playful.
4. The G is a tongue sticking out from the mouth, inspired by the emoji 😋.
5. The outline of the face can be a sunflower, symbolizing livelihood and fast growth.
6. The outline of the face is two overlapping squares. Once you see it, it is hard to unsee it. This is to show our respect to our “Binance heritage”, whose logo is more squarely.
7. The color is yellow and black, also owing to our “Binance heritage”. Although, the yellow is a light yellow, more playful.
8. The outline of the face can also look like the sun, especially with the lighter yellow, symbolizing positive energy, for growth globally.
My friend and colleague, Tigran Gambaryan, has been unlawfully detained by the Nigerian government for more than 70 days. We're tirelessly working to #BringTigranHome.
For the first time publicly, I'm sharing the full context of this situation here. ⤵️
