Community-led Game Development & The Future of Sky Mavis - FOGcast#39

In this week’s FOGcast, host Nico Vereecke discusses community-led game development with guests Kathleen Osgood, Director of Business Development at Sky Mavis, and Glenn McGuire, founder and CEO at Tribes Studio. We talk about the growth of Sky Mavis and Ronin, a permission-based blockchain for gaming, as well as Sky Mavis’ focus on strategic partnerships and providing a trusted platform for users to play Web3 games. Our conversation also covers the importance of community engagement in Web3 games, the potential of NFTs and tokens to give players a sense of ownership, and how community involvement can lead to better chances of success in game development.

Kathleen and Glenn emphasize the importance of creating compelling stories and involving the community in decision-making processes. They discuss their partnership in developing Tribesters World, a game built on the Ronin blockchain, and share their experiences in the gaming industry. Our podcast also touches on the challenges of curating user-generated content for Web3 and the essential qualities they look for when investing in games and teams.
