Star Atlas recently announced its innovative web3 space economy simulation game, SAGE Labs, to the Solana platform. This early-access, browser-based game provides players with an immersive universe to engage in activities such as gathering resources, crafting, and trading. The goal? To prosper in a fully digital, blockchain-powered economy.
SAGE Labs not only boosts Star Atlas’s reputation in the web3 space but also broadens its reach to global audiences. The game promises a robust economic cycle, targeting both play-to-earn (P2E) gamers and web3 enthusiasts. Players can capitalize on their in-game activities, converting time and effort into tangible value, thanks to Star Atlas’s secure, player-centric assets.
Technological Innovations and Offerings
SAGE Labs prides itself on being a technologically forward web3 game. All game logic and states are stored on the blockchain, allowing for seamless integration with the broader Solana ecosystem. Players and referrers stand to benefit from new web3 functionalities in the StarPath referral program, translating to discounts and value-added purchases.
The game’s imminent launch on Solana Mainnet promises a gaming experience distinct from its web3 peers due to its decentralized nature. Developers are also empowered to leverage SAGE Labs’ infrastructure to create novel tools and gameplay solutions.
Gameplay Features and Mechanics
Set against the backdrop of space resource extraction and crafting, SAGE Labs simulates a genuine economic system. It introduces a $1.5 million Golden Ticket promotion to bolster its closed-loop economic rollout. Compatible with any Solana web browser, the game fully integrates into the Star Atlas ecosystem, optimizing the utility of in-game currency, ATLAS. Moreover, it offers interoperability of in-game items across various gameplay aspects.
Michael Wagner, Co-founder of Star Atlas and CEO of ATMTA, Inc., voiced his optimism, stating, “SAGE Labs redefines the web3 industry, offering vast economic prospects to players globally. The exponential growth benefits the Star Atlas metaverse denizens.”
Exploring SAGE’s Origins and Future
The name “SAGE Labs” draws inspiration from Star Atlas Golden Era (SAGE). Initially crafted as an econometric game tool, it emphasizes two-dimensional, real-life economic gameplay. Players are introduced to SAGE’s game mechanics, aiding in refining future versions.
Furthermore, SAGE Labs foreshadows a subsequent release titled “SAGE: Starbased”, anticipated to make waves as a monumental, fully on-chain browser game. While the present SAGE Labs edition offers limited UI and gameplay loops, its successor promises an enhanced gaming experience.
Lastly, the game’s economic culmination is the eagerly-awaited Golden Ticket event, split into two phases. The first involves crafting assets for redeemable Star Atlas items. The second phase, spanning eight weeks, offers players with Golden Tickets a shot at a weekly drawing, potentially reaping rewards.
