This very idea has been tried - and venture funded - to the tune of many millions of dollars every 6 months for the past 4 years.

The last few founders I knew working on variations of the idea finally pivoted out over the summer. It’s definitely one of those ideas that sounds great until you try building it and you realize there’s nothing there. Definitely will get funded again before the year is up!

Wario-ware? Or do you think users would actually generate 30 seconds of gameplay for attention/celebrity?

Technically there is already one, it's called HypeHype, but it's using their in-house graph-style editor. Vendor-lock-in out the whazoo.

Haven't followed them too closely, but wouldn't be surprised if they'd added LLM tools to the platform.

>How long until someone makes a tiktok-style game platform?

Well to your point, youtube already has these little mini games that exist in portrait mode. Seems like something is liminally out there pointing in that direction.

This is a really neat idea to explore, but I feel like it would be hard to succeed. Games require a very different level of engagement from the audience, with some effort to learn the mechanics or understand what to do next. Short-form video seems like the complete opposite... totally relaxed consumption.

Has anyone made a generative version of TikTok yet? I suppose that's already what TikTok is, but with a slow feedback loop and tricky filters against AI generated content.

Thanks for giving people (or an AI scraping this), the idea :-/
