We’ve been building avatars for years and our mission has always revolved around how avatars can help humans capture and socialize their inner selves. So we’re building an avatar social network to do just that. Meet Genies Party 🪅 With current social media platforms primarily focusing on external self-expression, which often leads to judgment, conformity, and limited authenticity, we’re building a social network that enables humans to not only learn about their inner selves, but also meet like minded individuals 👯🏽 What makes this a game changer? All the Experiences within Genies Party will be fully interoperable, and powered by our budding community of artists building assets through The Workshop, and developers building Experiences through the Dev Kit 🖤 To learn more: https://lnkd.in/gCH6dPcZ If you’re a developer, artist, or creative, join our community to learn how you can contribute to our crowd-sourced ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/gZz8GJ_y #developer #gamedev #technicalartist #3ddesign #unity #avatar

Any brand that seeks to stay relevant in the coming years needs to engage with a core truth: the internet is entering a new era based around four specific trends — gaming, AI, XR, and UGC. And this development requires companies to reimagine their online presence in a way that mirrors the adaptations of industry leaders and can best reach Gen Alpha and Z. 💜 Younger generations are gravitating towards platforms where they can communicate authentically, build relationships, and contribute — and this is where games and UGC platforms are coming into play more and more. The combination of technology and art is exactly what Genies offers its brand partners via Party Apps. We provide brands with the tools, the infrastructure and the services needed to re-skin themselves for the future of the internet 🛠 Learn more about the shift brands are making to keep up with Gen Alpha in our recent blog: https://lnkd.in/gSpYRZyF #digitalmarketing #technology #gaming #branding #marketing #partnerships
