Mckennedy from MMM creates engaging memes, games, and promotional content for Gitcoin, aiming to enhance morale and outreach, while exploring new skills like animation and game development.

Ahoy... My name is Mckennedy, I'm part of MMM and my work supports Gitcoin by creating promotional content in the form of memes and games.

Analytics on the memes are probably best seen on the DAOs twitter page, where they sometimes make some pretty good numbers (keep in mind though, that I get paid for the meme content there)

Retro:

  • A meme a day keeps Moloch away - Trying to post daily memes in the Discords meme channel to inject a bit of humor into our professional lives and hopefully boost morale a bit when days are hard.

  • After the release of the Regen VS Degen card game (Schelling point 2022) which was positively received, a 2.0 was already being worked on, but then the bear market hit, so most of our priorities shifted a bit (the good news is that some aspects, cards and ideas will potentially live on in a friends card game)

  • Was working on a demo for a Quadratic Funding card game, that implements QF, Gitcoin Passport, Sybil attacks, etc. and explains them in a fun and gamified way. The project is on hold atm (will potentially be revived in the future, when the timing is better) but the files are available on figma https://www.figma.com/file/lIsd28yrR1neIALFuqw8Rh/MMM?type=design&node-id=10641-105343&mode=design&t=cnOXlarTbBb3cUre-0

Planned:

  • The memes must go on: Started playing around with After effects and Blender to up my meme game a bit and also to be able to maybe create some cool promotional videos for Gitcoin.

  • Board game: An idea is already floating around in the air for some time (I've been tinkering with the board and gameplay, but nothing concrete has emerged yet - the idea certainly needs further discussion if there is enough interest)

  • I'm slowly easing my way into programming to be able to create a 2d platformer game in the future

In essence, my aim is to create fun and engaging content that promotes in a unique way, sparking curiosity and hopefully expanding the DAOs audience reach.

See you all in the Quadratic Lands :)
