FOCGERS

In this Meet the FOCGER episode, David Amor, founder of Playmint Game Studio and seasoned game developer, shares his journey from traditional gaming to fully onchain games. Entering the Web3 space, David was inspired by the potential of blockchain to redefine game design, drawn by projects like Loot NFT and the pioneering work on Dark Forest. Through games such as The Crypt, Dawnseekers, and Downstream, Playmint has explored the concept of a fully crypto native game, experimenting with unique attributes like composability, where users can permissionlessly extend the game world. Despite these technical advances, David acknowledges the fully onchain gaming community’s ongoing challenge in achieving “product-market fit,” an elusive but critical goal.

David also discusses Playmint’s latest project, Space Shooter, a multiplayer game that tests their innovative “Player Chains” model. This approach distributes blockchain nodes across players, creating a decentralized yet more fluid gaming experience. For David, building fully onchain games isn’t just about decentralization but crafting new types of experiences that resonate with players. As he looks to the future, he emphasizes that onchain gaming’s ultimate success will depend on the development of truly engaging, novel concepts—a vision he believes is worth the investment of time and resources.
