These are the ‘Core Aspects’ for ‘Fountellion in The Spiral’
Or… How to decentralise a game-world concept via NFT power.
There are core concepts behind ‘Fountellion’ and ‘The Spiral’ labels that my own writing attempts only begin to explore or illuminate.
But they form part of a potential ‘metaverse’ that anyone may take possession of, or contribute to.
That is why I’ve minted an NFT to decentralise these ideas, so that others may, if they wish or are able, to ‘own’, that is: oversee, expand, protect, and carry on the concept or vision.
Below is the wording to the NFT, (and see more links at the bottom of this page).
Creative White Paper / Core Aspects of a ‘metaverse’ (and proposed game design)
‘Fountellion in The Spiral’
The following Core Aspects reside in the hands of anyone who owns a portion of the NFT for this Paper (a Keeper).
It is hoped a DAO can be created, with voting rights for owners, and a documents page.
The Origin concepts and evolving, associated writings and artwork now exist in the public domain (CC0: No Rights Reserved).
Any actual Fountellion game or ‘green metaverse’ will also exist open-source, but governed by a DAO overseen by Keepers (TELL holders).
Origin NFT holders will also have rights within a core community which should exist to work together to bring value to the project and their NFTs.
Anyone at all can contribute new content, writings, artwork, programming, creative works or proposals but only owners of this Core Aspects Paper will have the right to decide if it can be included into Origin or related NFT collections.
Future or extra NFT collections will not be Origin, but they may be approved of by Keepers and a core community to bring further development or value to the concepts.
These Core Aspects can be altered if agreed upon by Keepers of the Core Aspects NFT. Everything evolves.
FOUNTELLION: This ground-breaking natural-world virtual simulation and game. It ‘teaches’ its players experientially about the power of nature, environment, interconnectedness, evolution, cooperation/collaboration etc… Within it are hidden ‘insights’ which are unlocked by completing stages, some in any order.
The name Fountellion relates to a whispering fountain within a certain area of the game-world.
THE SPIRAL: This is where the Fountellion game may appear, hidden within it — or breaking through — this outer metaverse of more superfluous, industrial, disposable, interconnected virtual worlds.
Unlike other ‘metaverse’ or game world ideas, Fountellion is rooted in the natural world, with game elements cast upon it, and which can also affect it (it’s a responsive world). Note, that within its programming are variables that enable its environment to evolve via advanced algorithms. Also, something akin to A-LIFE NFTs could act as super-’organic’ flora and fauna within the game fabric. Game iterations could be made to start with pre-set, specific ‘biomes’ for players instead of levels. It is accessed via futuristic immersive devices or overlay interfaces.
Fountellion is supposed to be a bonded world, but there may be hints that this may not be completely the case. It’s an idea to explore.
What is Fountellion’s fate and influence? Will it aid in the promotion of a ‘greener’ outlook for its players, and for humanity? Does it help with game addiction by illuminating the natural world, or via its own hybrid, evolving flora and fauna? Will it help in (re-)‘greening’ mass culture via promotion of a keener awareness of movements such as: Permaculture, rewilding, sustainability, biodiversity, correct landscaping and diversified farming.
How does the game balance life and death?
What are the characters of its creators and founders like?
Collectible NFTs of characters, game elements etc: These could be better designed and created to raise funding for Fountellion-related projects, the community or by and for individual token holders.
The value of the ‘Core Aspect’ NFT should theoretically rise where value is added to the core vision by those contributing to it. A range of expertise in the TELL token-holders would also help in this.
It is especially hoped that profits from Fountellion-related success such as transaction fees could be translated beyond a game world or concept to assist externally the real planet via green charity, conservation etc. This is how true metaverses can overlap.
None of this yet exists. It is only at the conceptual stage, and via some personal ‘foundational’ writings:
— ‘In The Spiral: Connected Stories and Fragments from the Virtual Future’
— ‘Fountellion in The Spiral: The Nature of the Game and Progression One’
— Origin NFTs and Medium Publication.
About the Author/Founder:
I intend to continue writing/editing my related stories, but have no means to guarantee their completion, audience or technical expansion. My power to collaborate is also at limited. I look to the potential of joint ownership via NFT to elaborate on a vision I’ve had which is really Nature’s vision, and those of scientists and game-designers who’ve illuminated it in different ways for me. And now all the blockchain specialists and builders who are empowering communities and their projects.

Buy in…
I am currently ready to distribute 100 TELL of the Fountellion Core Aspect NFT. If you’re genuinely interested in the project, concept or writings, then you will need to assist in the project in these early stages. Firstly, we need a larger community with a paid forum for discussion. Gradually the project will decentralise into a DAO with shared multi-sig etc.
There is a contact page at my website too.
The current value of the tokens is not interesting. They are a means to govern and incentivise and to protect a green-orientated creative project.
(5 TELL tokens are reserved for myself and family as founders.)
…..
- The Core Aspect NFT — (see updated on this page) minted via Rarible
- The Core Aspect NFT now available to own fractionally (to 100 TELL holders) via Fractional.Art
(Why 100? Because 100 people were used to develop Skyrim, but that’s just btw.)
- Gitbook community site
- The Spiral Times — background and info
- Wattpad foundation writings
- [in progress] Medium publication incl. some background/related docs.
…..
Best wishes holders, and progression!
