Game Background:
In the year 3000 AD, environmental issues led to a stagnation in economic development, and the world was on the brink of collapse.
Humanity discovered many Earth-like planets in the Centaurus star system.
After careful selection, a fortunate group of individuals obtained interstellar travel permits issued by the new government of the Centaurus star system. They became the first interstellar immigrants, carrying with them the hope of humanity as they embarked on a journey to Centaurus to build a new life base called "StarTown."
Before officially entering the Centaurus star system, interstellar travelers need to undergo survival training in the open world. Only by accumulating enough resources can they pass the examiner's review and start their interstellar journey. In StarTown, new residents can purchase land, build factories and houses, invite friends to play together, cultivate crops, accept and complete orders, earn governance tokens as rewards, and continue to manage and prosper the human civilization.
Game Settings:
Global Theme:
Simulation-based games have the broadest player base and have been proven profitable in the web2 era.
Notable titles like Nintendo's "Animal Crossing," where players create and manage their open-world islands, and Playrix's mobile management game "Township," which has accumulated over 1 billion USD in revenue by 2020, exemplify this.
Next-Generation CryptoGame Mechanisms:
(1) Combining a strict decentralized design and community governance spirit with innovative gameplay that blends "dress-up social + simulation management," providing genuine playability. Apart from buying NFTs for entry, the game introduces Free-to-Play with limited microtransactions to activate social interactions and attract more web2 users.
(2) Utilizes a "Dual Token + NFT" mechanism, with the game currency acting as a governance token to enhance the in-game economy's stability. Employs decentralized identity (DID) to map social relationships through in-game contributions, sharing, and behavior, offering more targeted services and gameplay based on this social graph.
