Space Nation Inc. is enhancing the space opera genre with its MMORPG, Space Nation Online, developed in collaboration with Immutable (IMX). Built on Immutable zkEVM and fueled by Polygon, the game offers vast futuristic worlds, compelling characters, and immersive narratives.
In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about Space Nations' expansive narrative and insights into the team's ambitious plans for expanding its intellectual property (IP).
Space Nation Ship
Space Nation, the web3 MMORPG, places players in the captain's chair of their very own spaceship. As a captain awakened from hibernation by the Parousians, descendants of the human race, players must navigate a galaxy teetering on the brink of war. The appearance of ghost ships and the whispers of unknown dangers set a tense backdrop for an epic spacefaring adventure.
Players in Space Nation find themselves in a richly detailed universe filled with vast star systems and numerous planets, all within a 100,000-kilometer radius. Utilizing warp drives, they can traverse the extensive distances between Cluster Galaxies, Stellar Systems, and Planetary Systems. The game features ships of various sizes, from 30-meter single-player warships to colossal 20-kilometer Galaxy Motherships, offering a diverse range of gameplay experiences.
Space Nation Characters
Central to Space Nation's gameplay are the three major factions: the Ayers, the Research League, and the Saints of the New Dawn. Each faction provides unique missions and challenges, requiring players to adapt and strategize according to differing priorities and goals. Success hinges on a player's ability to manage these relationships while confronting the looming threat to civilization.
Exploration is key in Space Nation. Players will uncover ancient space ruins, salvage wreckage, and discover untold riches in uncharted territories. The universe is populated with a variety of life forms, from honorable traders to shady dealers, each providing opportunities for intense battles, lucrative trades, and crew recruitment.
Space Nation Universe
Space Nation leverages blockchain technology, NFTs, and tokens to provide true ownership over in-game assets. Players can trade or sell their ships, equipment, and other valuable items securely and transparently using Immutable Passport and Checkout. This integration means that time and effort invested in the game translate to real value.
Jerome Wu, CEO of Space Nation, envisions a dynamic space universe: "Our vision for Space Nation Online is to build a living, breathing space universe where people with different purposes can live, fight, socialize, and be proud of their accomplishments!"
Players must also manage the upkeep of their fleet. This includes repairs, upgrades, and crew salaries, which require a steady income. Various roles within the game, such as miners, fighters, explorers, and arms dealers, offer different paths to earning the in-game CHR currency.
Through mining, production, and trading, players can gather resources and craft powerful equipment to sell in the marketplace. These tokens not only enhance gameplay but also give players a stake in the game’s governance and future development.
Space Nation Gameplay
The development team behind Space Nation brings extensive experience from both the gaming and movie industries. Jerome Wu, Tony Tang, Roland Emmerich, and Marco Weber have combined their expertise from projects like World of Warcraft, Starcraft II, Independence Day, and 2012 to create a deeply immersive MMORPG experience.
With a team of over 100 members and a budget of $40 million, Space Nation is set to be one of the first high-quality AAA web3 games, aiming to set new standards for the genre. In addition to the core game, Space Nation is part of a $50 million reward program (Main Quest), encouraging players to participate in daily challenges and on-chain missions across Immutable’s ecosystem.
Space Nation Team
The team says: "We hope to provide participating testers with an extraordinary multiplayer space gaming experience through this test. At the same time, we aim to test the stability of the economic cycle under the complete game loop and identify and address any potential issues related to the gameplay experience and network stability."
Immutable zkEVM, Immuatbles EVM-compatible zk-rollup technology, allows Space Nation developers and users to leverage custom smart contract support, advanced gameplay mechanics and tokenomics, and a cheaper, secure, and frictionless trading experience. With Space Nation Online’s cosmic journey bringing unique tokenomics, NFT, and governance designs, Immutable provides the ideal environment to make this happen.
“Immutable zkEVM is our platform of choice for Space Nation Online, as it combines Ethereum security with EVM compatibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency while also prioritizing ease of use for players who wish to fully embrace the in-game economy.”
Space Nation and Immutable
The team added: “Our vision for Space Nation Online is to achieve significant scale and high liquidity in the long run, which necessitates a stable and secure solution to empower in-game prosperity for our players. By leveraging Immutable zkEVM, we can ensure long-term stability, sustainability, and prosperity within the game.”
Space Nation offers players an unparalleled journey through the cosmos, where strategic decisions and alliances shape their destiny. Ready your ships and rally your crew for an unforgettable adventure where your actions have real-world value. In Space Nation, the stars are truly the limit.
