Intro

Star Atlas is an ambitious metaverse-based MMORPG set in the year 2620, blending space exploration, factional warfare, and blockchain technology. Developed on the Solana network, the game is designed for Windows platforms and integrates play-to-earn mechanics with a dual-token system and tradable NFTs. Despite challenges, the developers are focused on delivering a AAA-quality experience using Unreal Engine 5.

Story

Star Atlas unfolds in a futuristic universe divided among three powerful factions: the human-led MUD Territory, the alien-controlled ONI Region, and the sentient androids of the Ustur Sector. These factions are locked in a never-ending battle over resources, territorial expansion, and political dominance. Players, as citizens of these factions, navigate the intrigue and challenges of this cosmic conflict, influencing its trajectory through their decisions and actions.

Gameplay

Players choose one of three factions, each offering unique advantages and challenges. Exploration plays a central role, with players venturing across planets to gather resources through mining rigs and refineries. These resources fuel a faction-driven economy that supports trading, crafting, and cargo transport.

The game incorporates space simulation mechanics, where players pilot ships for mining, combat, or exploration. A range of ships supports diverse playstyles, from tactical faction-based battles to cargo hauls. The inclusion of cockpit view enhances immersion, providing players with a manual piloting experience.

Economy

Star Atlas features a dual-token system: ATLAS for in-game transactions and POLIS for governance. Players can earn ATLAS by participating in mining, trading, or completing missions, while POLIS grants holders influence over game governance and direction.

In-game assets such as ships, components, and land parcels are represented as NFTs, which can be traded on the marketplace. This allows players to generate real-world value through their in-game accomplishments. The economy is further supported by play-to-earn mechanics, fostering engagement and sustainability within the game’s ecosystem.
