Dark Forest: Lessons from 3 Years of On-Chain Gaming

Duration: 00:25:51

Speaker: gubsheep

Type: Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Oct 2022

We'll present an overview of learnings from 3 years of building and running Dark Forest, the first fully decentralized MMORTS, including: why ZK is important for games, what a crypto-native game is and why we should care, designing for emergent player behavior, pushing the limits of Ethereum devex, and social consensus and legitimacy - why is Dark Forest more like chess than League of Legends? We'll also hint at 0xPARC's next crypto-gaming experiments.
