FOCGERS

In this episode of Meet the FOCGER, we’re joined by Matt Dion, founder of Always Scheming Media and the author of Dark Tunnels, a newsletter dedicated to exploring the emerging world of fully onchain games (FOCG). As a writer at Naavik, prior positions at Game7 and Cartridge, and someone with deep experience in traditional gaming, Matt brings a unique perspective to the FOCGing conversation. We trace his journey into the FOCG space, uncovering the experiences and passions that drew him to this cutting-edge ecosystem.

Reflecting on his recent Dark Tunnels piece, "Tales from the Front Lines," Matt shares insights from working closely with FOCG builders, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges of building in this innovative, decentralized landscape. The discussion dives into key topics like the absence of traditional workflows in the nascent FOCG space, the struggle developers face in articulating why their games must be fully onchain, and what this means for players and creators. This episode is packed with actionable insights and reflections. Whether you're a builder, an enthusiast, or just curious about the future of decentralized gaming, this conversation is a must-listen.
