### Thematic Shifts from Renaissance → Radar

**Fully on-chain game logic:** Radar winners leaned hard into eliminating centralized game servers — Supersize is the flagship example, using MagicBlock for real-time state. Renaissance submissions were more traditional GameFi/NFT ownership models.

**DeFi × Gaming hybridization:** Radar saw more crossover entries (The Arena, TrenchTown) blending trading mechanics with competitive gameplay. This category barely appeared in Renaissance gaming.

**Platform plays vs. standalone games:** Radar showed more infrastructure thinking — Barnfight is a white-label platform, not just a game. Renaissance entries were more game-first.

**Mobile/casual:** Renaissance's Maneko Pet signaled mobile appetite; Radar gaming shifted toward browser-based real-time multiplayer.

**Notable builder signal:** `supersize-1` submitted to Renaissance gaming but didn't win — the same builder (`supersize`) returned for Radar and took 1st place, then entered the C2 accelerator. This persistence-to-win pattern is worth tracking.

**Archive framing:** The MagicBlock "Unblocking On-Chain Games" series ran alongside this period and directly informed the Radar gaming thesis around ephemeral rollups for real-time gaming.

**Prize pool structure:** Renaissance topped at \$30K for gaming 1st vs. Radar's \$25K, but Renaissance had fewer prize placements listed — suggesting higher concentration at the top.
