Star Atlas Unlocks Developer Tools and Documentation on Solana Blockchain
Star Atlas, the creator of the space exploration-themed role-playing (RP) game built on the Solana network, is providing access to its developer tools and documentation on the Solana blockchain. This move allows creators to access Star Atlas’ ecosystem and kickstart their journey with the new S Labs browser-based platform.
Building Hub for Developers
For developers who want to dig deeper into Star Atlas, the company has released a building hub where links and documentation can be found. This hub offers free access to Star Atlas’ art, audio assets, Unreal Engine tooling, APIs, and non-fungible token (NFT) addresses.
New Features and Functionality
The new features of Star Atlas include a player profile for customization, a tool to use the TLS token for Solana transactions instead of SOL, a system for NFT token ownership and permissions, an instant tool for interactions that other developers can use, and functions to regulate the sending of in-game tokens like ships.
About Star Atlas and S Labs
Star Atlas is an eagerly anticipated game that launched its “showroom” demo on the PC’s Steam Store in September 2022. S Labs (Star Atlas’ old name) is a browser-based platform that taps into the larger Star Atlas universe.
Promoting Transparency and Trust
According to Star Atlas, making its developer tools publicly available is an act of transparency aimed at fostering trust among players and stakeholders while creating a broader ecosystem of apps around the game.
No Revenue Cut for Early Adopters
The company’s CEO mentioned that there will be no revenue cut for the first $1 million of gross revenue generated by companies using Star Atlas’ assets. If a company surpasses $1 million in revenue, the royalty fees range from 3% to 10% depending on the industry or sector.
Cultivating a Flourishing Ecosystem
Star Atlas aims to cultivate a flourishing ecosystem of people who want to build around its assets. The company believes that there is a repository of assets, including branding and Star Atlas’ art, that developers are free to use.
Challenges Ahead
While optimistic about the rollout of the Star Atlas build platform and S Labs, the CEO acknowledged that there may be hurdles in launching such public resources. However, they are prepared to allocate resources to help people get started.
