Blockchain games have always been highly anticipated by the capital market, and the development of Web 2.5 games still seems to have no breakthrough. Now, a group of people are hoping to put the entire game logic on the chain to enhance the composability between games, which is called the pioneer of the full-chain game, Gubsheep, the founder of Dark Forest, wrote "The Strongest Crypto Gaming Thesis," describing that native encrypted games are a game that maximally embraces the architectural pattern and spirit of blockchain application development. Now the community generally refers to it as a full-chain game or a self-contained world.
Many games have recently launched tests or updates. Let's follow Dr.DODO to see what updates there are in the recent full-chain games.
Redstone Mainnet Launch
Lattice's Plasma Mode OpStack Layer 2 Redstone, developed by Lattice for full-chain games, officially launched its mainnet in early May, modifying the data availability of traditional layer 2, greatly reducing the data usage of L1, attempting to overcome the high gas consumption problem of full-chain games, and creating a public chain designed specifically for FOCG full-chain games.
Currently, in addition to the official production of Skystrife, other games such as This Cursed Machine, Biomes, and Downstream have also launched on the mainnet. At the same time, Lattice also held a hackathon for developers to develop game plugins.

Sky Strife
Sky Strife is currently the most representative game of Lattice, an RTS strategy game developed by Lattice. Unlike most full-chain games, which are relatively slow turn-based games, the development difficulty is significantly higher. The goal of the game is to defend your castle and survive until the end, destroying all other castles before your opponent destroys yours.
In addition to the game itself, Sky Strife also offers a Season Pass, which allows those who purchase it to start with two additional different units to choose from and, most importantly, to start a private game. In addition to the Season Pass, Sky Strife also has its own token, Orbs (🔮). The only function of Orbs is to create Sky Strife matches. Starting a match requires consuming 100 Orbs, and rewards ORBS based on the player's ranking for each match. The total rewards range from 500 ORBS to 0 Orbs, depending on the number of matches played in the past 7 days.

Recent Updates in Other Full-Chain Games
Primodium
Primodium is a space empire-building MMO game and can be said to be the most complete game in the field of full-chain games. In the game, you can mine resources, build military bases, and engage in warfare to gain control of the asteroid belt. Primodium aims to be open and permissionless, which means that any third-party developer can freely develop and deploy robots or plugins on its Primodium.
Recently, Primodium released version 0.11.0 update, adding points related to Wormholes and Shards, which require feeding black holes and capturing Shards to obtain economic and military points.
Project Awakening Phase III
Project Awakening Phase III is a chain-based version produced by CCP Games, the developer of the space science fiction MMORPG game Eve Online, which has been online for over 20 years. CCP Game previously announced a collaboration with Lattice to use MUD (Lattice's EVM game engine) for joint development. Project Awakening can be considered the first complex application of MUD on the chain, and is currently undergoing pre-launch testing.
Game testing requires signing an NDA, and the gameplay is not described in detail, as most of it is similar to Eve Online. Those interested can sign up to participate on their own.

Duper
Game studio Curio announced the launch of the game Duper Alpha version. Duper is a chain-based betting social warfare game set on a distant desert planet. The goal is to introduce speculative elements native to the encrypted community into competitive chain-based games, with gameplay being quite complex.
Each game involves five players and lasts about 40 minutes. Each player enters the game with a real bet (currently a minimum of 0.005 ETH) in exchange for gems representing "equity." Duper is not a winner-takes-all game: when the game ends, only one player wins, but the pot is distributed based on how much "equity" each player holds. The winner does not necessarily earn the most.
The most interesting element of "Duper" is social— in "Duper," secret alliances such as resource exchange, conspiracies, and betrayals are not only allowed but encouraged.

Author's Viewpoint
The author believes that full-chain games are one of the few interesting native applications of blockchain in this cycle, and also one of the few applications that retail players can directly experience. Truly deep games require a combination of art, music, and software development. The grand vision of full-chain games has attracted many talented developers and some capital. Although most game development is still very early and not very intuitive to play, it is still encouraged for everyone to try and experience native blockchain games, and look forward to the future development of full-chain games.
