FOCGERS

In this Meet the FOCGERS episode, Awtnmy/Rich, founder of Archetypal Game Studio, shares his journey from welding fences to pioneering fully onchain games. With experience across MUD, Dojo, and World Engine, he’s built innovative projects like O’ruggin Trail, a fully onchain text adventure. Drawing from history, Rich compares fully onchain gaming to Impressionism—where early rejection led to lasting success, before diving into the challenges and opportunities of fully onchain games. He also discusses composability and player ownership.

With experience on Starknet and Celestia, Rich unpacks the FOCG dev stack and why studios must secure their own playerbase, rather than relying on market cycles. Comparisons are drawn to traditional gaming. This episode is a must-listen for builders shaping the future of onchain gaming.
