    What if... there's a cube inside the cube? And that cube is procedural as well meaning the cycle keeps on going forever... "Look guys, I totally wasted your time. The things you do for curiosity, lolz!" And the picture on that cube must be a facepalm.

    I'm actually really curious what's inside, well played Molyneux, well played sir

    i read a hangar 16 review of half life map years back that put a similar scenario into an otherwise very plain map. quote, "[...] maybe there's portal to the best map ever made. maybe, and most likely, there is nothing."

    It needs to feed into the other 21 experiments. I was thinking it's a job offer but if they don't take it then it's GG.

    There's an NDA inside the cube

    All right, I'm happy with that. Pretty cute idea, the winner gets a nice bit of monetary compensation, and it could have some really interesting gameplay implications for the rest of us (Godus is definitely a game I'm looking forward to anyway). It's also kind of nice how the prize is tied into the god game genre that is so dear to Molyneux.

    Well, here's your winner: https://twitter.com/Bryanh559

    And the internet is hard at work finding out what kind of person he is and judging him from that, of course.

    I disagree, I think it's a bad idea to push someone into a creative position which will directly affect his pay cut. Will he decide interesting/fun rules, or decide to design rules that will get him the most amount of money out of the project? Perhaps that's part of the experiment as well, who knows

    But what am I saying anyways... I'm pretty sure I would be trolling everyone to the best of my abilities

    PS: The selection criteria is also super odd, were they just trying to gain some easy cash so they could make that god-game? Cos otherwise they might as well just have made a registration page and selected someone randomly, no? What was the purpose of Curiosity?

    PR for Godus.

    I think the real purpose of Curiosity was literally the experiment in and of itself, for Molyneux at least. I will admit that it was impressive how driven a fairly large number of people became to play such a pointless and ultimately fruitless game (because everyone was inevitably going to know the prize anyway).

    Thanks to the fake echo, for the whole video I couldn't shake the feeling it was The Spirit Of Amadeus Arkham talking

    His share in the profits is probably intended to be an incentive not to fuck up the game. Then again there are people out there who just want to see the world burn, so I doubt his powers will be all too big. But I'd be happy if Molyneux proves me wrong. As it stands it's (just) another great PR move by him.

    i doubt it, at least not if i had paid for the game. but i guess it's about how generally trusting you are of random people to create a good game experience for you. i might get swayed if the guy actually does some good things, but since this is a prize of indefinite length it seems likely that at some point he'll get tired of it and just go nuts.

    Well, I doubt he’s going to be a designer designer. He'll probably have some back end to mess around in. If he could really screw things up, accidental or not, Godus won't be printing F2P money.
