Web3 Gaming in a Post-Friction World - FOGcast #59
Back to a less edgy conversation this week! Today we discuss the evolution of Web3 for Games from a user onboarding perspective and what it means for the games to come!
Guests:
Nico Vereecke (https://twitter.com/NicoVereecke): Host of the podcast and investor at BITKRAFT Ventures.
Devin Becker (https://www.linkedin.com/in/devinbecker/): Gaming lead at NAMI and Naavik, specializing in game analytics for Web3 gaming.

Key Takeaways:
The evolution of gaming technology follows a pattern of starting with rudimentary games and progressing to more real-time and immersive experiences.
Web3 gaming is moving towards a more seamless user experience, with the goal of abstracting away the complexities of blockchain technology.
The mobile platform is a gateway to reaching a wider audience, but cross-platform compatibility is essential for a successful game.
The concept of asset ownership in Web3 gaming is still evolving, and developers need to find ways to make it meaningful and valuable to players.
Educating players about the benefits of Web3 gaming is important, but it should be done in a way that focuses on the player experience rather than the technology itself.

God-as-a-Service for Autonomous Worlds - FOGcast #57
We’re doing something different this episode. Your host Nico Vereecke (https://twitter.com/NicoVereecke) conducts a jam session with Tim Cotten (https://www.linkedin.com/in/timcotten/), Matt Dion (https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-dion/), and David Amor (https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-amor/) about the future of gaming. We explore the concept of Massively Interactive Live Events (MILES) and how their ideas could be applied to fully on-chain gaming. We discuss the challenges of hidden information in on-chain games and the potential solutions, such as using zero-knowledge proofs. Tim introduces the concept of AutoRPG, an autonomous AI system for building and managing game worlds. Finally, we dive deep into the idea of decentralized AI models as game masters in autonomous worlds.
Key Takeaways:
Massively Interactive Live Events (MILES) combine cloud gaming and streaming technology to create interactive virtual worlds.
Fully on-chain games face challenges with hidden information and the need for live operations.
AutoRPG is an AI system that can build and manage game worlds, providing a solution for live operations in autonomous worlds.
Decentralized AI models can act as game masters in autonomous worlds, providing dynamic and unpredictable gameplay.
The future of gaming may involve combining AI-generated content with player-created content for a more immersive and engaging experience.
