In this week's interview Dan and Sam are joined by Scott Sunarto, founder and CEO of Argus Labs, to discuss the infrastructure they're building to make blockchain games more accessible. He talks about overcoming previous limitations with fully on-chain games, designing sharding architectures inspired by MMOs, building developer tools tailored for gaming, and enabling emergent economic behaviors through crypto integrations. Scott also discusses their recently launched game, Dark Frontier, and how the team aims to leverage open sourced development to spur organic game content creation. Tune in to hear about all of this and much more!
