# The WASD Weekly: 8/16/24 By [WASD](https://paragraph.com/@wasd) · 2024-08-16 --- Gm! It was another exciting week in the world of onchain gaming, with releases from DF Archon, Oceanus, Project Mirage, ggQuest, Kamigotchi, and Primodium. While there were fewer splashy headlines than last week, it’s clear that teams are continuing to ship. Slowly but surely, despite a seemingly endless crab market, the onchain gaming ecosystem continues to level up. Before we get into the rest of this week’s piece, I wanted to touch on some big WASD news… …we launched a podcast! [https://x.com/WASD\_0x/status/1824140071781667055](https://x.com/WASD_0x/status/1824140071781667055) The show (just called WASD) will cover the onchain gaming ecosystem from a player's perspective, breaking down the latest news, the hottest games, and what WASD itself is getting up to. I’m very excited to host it alongside my co-founder [Luke](https://x.com/luke_spotlong) and hope it will help onchain gaming pill the world!
