A groundbreaking partnership between blockchain-based MMO Star Atlas and decentralized cloud gaming platform Shaga is set to revolutionize the gaming industry. Their joint initiative, “Streaming With Shaga,” promises rewards of up to $100,000 and aims to eliminate hardware barriers for gamers and creators.
The collaboration showcases the potential for high-fidelity Web3 games like Star Atlas to run smoothly on mobile devices without the need for a high-performance PC. This move signifies a significant push towards making blockchain gaming accessible to a broader audience.
Star Atlas, developed on the Solana blockchain and powered by Unreal Engine 5, typically requires powerful PCs to handle its intricate graphics and complex economy. However, with the introduction of Shaga’s cloud platform, creators can now stream gameplay from their PCs to viewers’ smartphones or tablets, making Star Atlas available to anyone, anywhere.
Central to the campaign is a generous reward pool that includes $ATLAS tokens, Star Atlas ships, and GLOB points (Shaga’s native reward currency). Participants who register and are accepted into the campaign stand to earn various digital assets and tokens. Of particular interest are the GLOB points, which could lead to future airdrops and unlockable perks, reflecting the growing trend in Web3 gaming towards providing long-term incentives for active community members.
Creators looking to qualify for the campaign need at least 100 followers on major social platforms and must have streamed at least four times within the past four months. By recording a short video demonstrating how their viewers can access Star Atlas in real-time using the Shaga app on a mobile device, creators can enter the campaign and gain access to Star Atlas’ in-game assets.
Star Atlas sets the stage for a futuristic grand strategy game set in the year 2620, where players can explore deep space, conquer new territories, and participate in a player-driven economy. Developed on the Solana blockchain, the game offers fast and affordable transactions while combining stunning Unreal Engine 5 graphics with decentralized asset ownership.
With the support of Shaga’s decentralized cloud platform, Star Atlas aims to reach a wider audience by streaming its high-end gaming experience to various devices, breaking down hardware barriers and paving the way for more people to experience the world of Web3 gaming.
