Gm, and welcome to The WASD Weekly!

It’s been an exciting past few weeks for us onchain gamers.

We had several new game or app releases, including from Small Brain, Influence, Doomsday, and of course, Primodium.

There were also big developments on the infrastructure side, as Argus open-sourced their World Engine SDK while Pirate Nation migrated to Apex, their Arbitrum Orbit L3.

These news items all illustrate the progress the onchain gaming ecosystem continues to make.

It’s still very early days, but with an seemingly endless stream of new games and improvements to infrastructure, the future looks bright.

Now, without further ado, here’s:

• A primer on the week’s news
