Yeah I have made realtime multi-player games before and already experimented with storing some data on the hive blockchain a while back, the front end would be JavaScript/WASM and likely non-persistent data in sqlite or mysql. This being turn-based or at least not realtime would mean any round trip slowness wouldn't impact play - think chess rather than a FPS.

My challenge is with a mass multiplayer strategy game is one player holding everyone else up. Back in the Play By Mail days the moderator (like a DM) would take over if someone was too late responding (or the mail didn't arrive), but not sure how that would appeal to folks who might only log in every couple of days like here on Hive.

That said, @themarkymark pointed out to me the audience is so small anyway, it might be less of a problem than actually getting players in the first place.
