Background: The team was discussing how to respond to the blockchain gaming wave without putting an unfinished on-chain approach ahead of the game itself. Today: Final Form's position was written into the “product constitution”: “Fun first, chain later.” Impact and next steps: The principle set an order for upcoming feature discussions and answered the tendency of newcomers to see the game first as an income opportunity.

Background: The team was discussing how to respond to the blockchain gaming wave without putting an unfinished on-chain approach ahead of the game itself. At Monday's meeting, Final Form insisted that players should find the game enjoyable before the team discussed the chain's role.
Today: Final Form's position was written into the “product constitution”: “Fun first, chain later.” This turned the earlier question about “play” and “earn” into a principle the team could use to make trade-offs: design reviews would first ask whether the experience worked, while on-chain features would need to explain what problem they solved for players.
Impact and next steps: The principle set an order for upcoming feature discussions and answered the tendency of newcomers to see the game first as an income opportunity. It was not yet a specific game design or on-chain implementation plan; in later reviews, the team still needed to test which designs were truly fun and which were only concepts.
