Greetings, adventurers and innovators, and welcome to the Grug’s Lair In and Out Cavern Chronicles, our dedicated dual blog that delves deep into the exciting intersection of game development and blockchain technology. Whether you are a seasoned developer, a crypto enthusiast, or a gaming aficionado eager to understand the future of digital games, this blog is crafted for you. Here at Grug’s Lair, we’re not just developing games; we’re pioneering fully onchain games (FOCG) that promise to redefine the norms of gaming and decentralized technology.

Why Grug’s Lair?

Grug’s Lair emerges from a deep-seated passion for gaming blended with the transformative potential of blockchain technology. Our studio is committed to pushing the boundaries of how games are played, developed, and experienced — all on the blockchain. We envision a world where games aren’t just played; they’re lived and breathed within the immutable and transparent nature of blockchain.

What to Expect: Inside and Outside the Lair

Our blog is structured to keep you updated and engaged through a dual-themed approach, with each post coming to you every two months:

  1. Inside the Lair: Here, we take you behind the scenes of Grug’s Lair. You’ll get exclusive updates on our development processes, from the initial concept phases to gameplay mechanics and final touches. Expect deep dives into coding challenges, artistic design breakthroughs, and the overall journey of our game creations.
  2. Outside the Lair: Venture with us beyond the studio walls into the vibrant world of on chain gaming events and crypto conferences. This section highlights our participation in key industry events, sharing insights gleaned and connections made. It’s here that we explore the broader implications of blockchain in gaming and our role within this dynamic ecosystem.

Why onchain Games?

At Grug’s Lair Gaming Studio, we are fully committed to onchain games to bring new ideas to the gaming world. We shifted to decentralized gaming to provide fun and meaningful experiences for everyone, believing that blockchain technology makes gaming more fair and open compared to traditional, centralized methods. This direction combines our deep experience in gaming with our expertise in cryptocurrency.

Why Starknet and Dojo?

We chose to work with Dojo and Starknet at Grug’s Lair because of a challenge from Loaf at Bibliotheca Gaming Studio. He suggested we could quickly create a game prototype using Dojo, an onchain game engine designed for fast development. This got us started on “Rising Revenant,” one of the first games we developed using Starknet.

Choosing Starknet was a strategic move, using its strong features and our good connections within the Realms and wider Starknet communities. These relationships give us a lot of support and a stable foundation for our projects.
