Star Atlas: Conquring Gaming Horizon
By Shikha Singh
Web3 gaming has emerged as the hottest sector in the crypto world, raising over $7 billion in funding over the past 18 months. This is more than any other crypto sector in the industry, highlighting the immense potential and popularity of the gaming sector in the crypto ecosystem.
Web3 gaming allows gamers to create, own, and trade in-game assets using cryptocurrency, adding an extra layer of excitement and engagement to traditional gaming; this is one of the key reasons why gamers are shifting from traditional gaming to Web3 gaming.
However, the $7 billion in funding has been raised by a diverse range of web3 gaming projects, from massive multiplayer online games to decentralized gaming platforms. This funding has enabled these projects to develop and expand their offerings, bringing new and innovative gaming experiences to players around the world.
Prominent MMO game Star Atlas works on the P2E mechanics and is built on the Solana Blockchain. Star Atlas is a space exploration themed role-playing game.
Players are rewarded for their successes while exploring the galaxy with ATLAS tokens, which they can use to buy in-game items such as weapons, ships, land and mining equipment. These items, which take the form of NFTs, are a key aspect of the game, allowing players to take ownership over their own strategies and choose their own adventures.
The game was built using Unreal Engine 5’s Nanite system which was also used by the developers of Fortnite.
The objective of Star Atlas is to allow players to grow their space empire by acquiring territory, mining it for resources, and scouring the galaxy for antiquated artefacts. The lost ships, crews, and other items of deceased players who may have attempted but failed to find these treasures may also be encountered on these excursions by players, in addition to other players. Players are encouraged to gather these items and cash in on their accomplishments since in-game awards and items have real-world value outside of the Star Atlas galaxy.
