Star Atlas is a grand strategy game of space exploration, territorial conquest, and living among the stars. However, Star Atlas is not just a single game, but rather multiple separate experiences all affecting each other. From real-time strategy gameplay to 3v3 combat matches, this session is about how Star Atlas approached a cohesive experience spanning multiple player experiences - and how you can join them in building your own.
Takeaway
Attendees will discover how multiple game experiences can leverage the same ledger to access player and state data seamlessly. This enables a community-centric IP model where the main game developer isn’t the only entity that’s able to create experiences within a particular game universe.
Intended Audience
This session is designed for game developers, avid gamers, and community members who are interested in the idea of building upon existing games IP while integrating seamlessly into the overall IP universe for continuity of experience.
