Update: Just want to clarify this is only an idea I’m sharing. I know some people might think this sounds weird, but I think it could be really cool to experience what being famous feels like in a safe way. Not asking anyone to build this for me, just wondering if something like this exists or could exist.
Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about how awesome it would be to have a VR game where you get to be a famous influencer or celebrity, but with fake fans instead of real people. Like imagine being able to experience all the fun parts of being internet famous without any of the real-world drama or pressure.
Here’s what I’m picturing:
- AI characters that act like your biggest fans - they’d want photos with you and get excited when they see you
- You could make fake TikToks, record pretend YouTube videos, or do mock Instagram photoshoots
- Fake livestreaming where computer-generated comments and hearts pop up on screen
- A pretend social media page that shows your follower count going up and fake DMs coming in
- Special events like walking red carpets or going to award ceremonies
- Everything would be single-player, so no real humans involved
- Completely free to download and play
I think it could also be cool to have an optional mode where real players could hang out together and pretend to be influencers at the same time. Like you could:
- Do fake collabs with other players
- Dance together for pretend viral videos
- Attend virtual parties or events
- Share fake merch or gifts that don’t cost real money
- Use different voice effects to sound more professional
- Take group photos that get fake likes and shares
- Compete in creativity contests that aren’t about spending money
I know this might sound silly but I think lots of people wonder what being famous would feel like. VR seems perfect for this kind of fantasy experience. Has anyone seen a game like this? Or does anyone else think this would be fun to try?
Thanks for reading my random idea!
