a nascent, indie on-chain gaming scene is emerging and has a good chance of exploding into view this year. 

today I play tested two fun on-chain games (naval combat TBS and chess-based battle royale) made by solo devs in a few weeks using the MUD engine

the time+cost to build fun on-chain games is now in free fall

MUD itself is in its infancy and there’s a lot of rough edges, still…but even in its immaturity, it has already drastically reduced a game dev’s time-to-launch

check www.mud.dev for more, incl the discord we’re hanging in ✌️

this is the antithesis of the land-sale-vaporware-promise-brigade that we’ve mostly seen to date
it’s about building + prototyping first..made easier and faster via MUD’s ECS-based architecture and tooling

as the cost to make on-chain games goes down, expect to see a proliferation of weird experiments to emerge
