I will be honest; I do think Polis is at a discount now, IF they are able to build the dream they are presenting. Because they lost a good portion of their funding in FTX, the team is now scrambling to gather enough funds to keep the show going. The community support here is amazing.

They say they don't want to sell their game out to a VC, but I expect no VC is willing to touch them at this... More

If I think about games nowadays, they look badass with a very wide variety of options and playstyles. Realistic graphics and really something you want to immerse in.

If I then look at the Crypto games, we have card battles, auto battlers, and casino games. But then there is Star Atlas, a game that you want to play! (if they succeed)

It is a grand strategy game in space, where you can explore,... More

This appears to be one of the most ambitious gaming + metaverse projects to date. The stunning concept art, cinematic trailers, and screenshots showcase a visually captivating world, fuelled by the power of Unreal Engine 5.

Looking through the 38 page economic paper, it is clear this is a very advanced tokenomics system, but just as you don't need to be a mechanic to drive a car players won't... More

I was aware of this project when it was initially launched, but I made the decision not to invest in it. As time has passed, this has proven to be a wise choice, particularly as I have observed the current state of the POLIS chart.

Firstly, the price chart has remained relatively stagnant since October, despite the positive recovery of the market. This suggests that there is a significant... More

Will I outright buy either of Star Atlas’s tokens from their dual economy on an exchange or secondary market? Simple one word answer - no.

Firsly $POLIS tokens are only a governance token and part of my investing ethos in crypto is I will never buy a token that’s sole purpose is just to act in that manner. In my opinion, governance tokens shouldn’t have any monetary benefits or incentives... More

When you think of CEOs with a background in traditional finance especially those which have the qualification of a chartered financial analyst, you might envision a stern, buttoned-up individual. However, Michael Wagner, the CEO of Star Atlas, defies these expectations entirely. Michael's journey from his early days as a member of a video gaming group to his current position at the helm of a... More

I think one of the strongest points of Star Atlas might be the Community.

They really supported them through everything, many big groups are building guilds and trying to work together. There are guilds in all different sizes and gameplay focus, you have guilds that have 5k members (like CLUB or AEPHIA) to less the 200 members (like SKULL & BONES and HEIMDALL) You even have community news...

In the (retail) investors' eyes, this project is a risky choice. 

15 million dollars vanished because of the FTX crash. That was the amount stocked by Atlas there. Image 1 shows what the effect was on that. The chart is near dead compared to what it once was. A very sad story, of course. This means that their development money just vanished. They tried to make a few ships sell in November 2022... More

When I first heard of Star Atlas I was very excited. Eve Online, their biggest competitor is not a web3 game, but has been ongoing for more than 10 years. So, it stand to reason such MMPORG are very well adapted to benefit from a web3 economy for users to have remaining value after spending countless of hours playing. The real trick is to ensure players cannot earn more than they spend if they... More

In a nutshell the future full game of Star Atlas will combine the power of Unreal Engine 5's Nanite technology for stunning visuals and use blockchain technology through the Solana protocol for secure and largely serverless gameplay.

In April 2023, the Star Atlas team released a technical showcase and game testing environment called Star Atlas: Escape Velocity, which was the first playable... More

Although my micro review may not have been overly positive, I do have a positive view of the Star Atlas community. To start with, this review ended up taking me more time than I had initially intended, but I must admit I had some fun exploring.

The fact that they are making a comeback and releasing... More

Another review mentions a number of upgrades and features to Star Atlas over the past year, but what wasn't mentioned was the recent (as in 2 days ago on 2 June 2023) update of the Showroom Release 2.1 (R2.1)

The stand-out feature of the R2.1 release in is the Volant Station Racing Track, which introduces a racer career path and in-game competitions.

Other notable features include:

• Ground... More

EDIT: 3-8-2023 *** So update on Star Atlas, because its needed, last week they announced that they have downscaled their team from After FTX they already downscaled from 200, but now from 165 to 45 people because the overhead cost were too high to keep running like this, 39 of the people are still working on a UE5 game.

But they do pivot a bit in their approach, instead of creating the entire... More

The Star Atlas Ecosystem has a double tokenomic: POLIS is their governance token, and ATLAS is their in-game currency. I will focus my review on Polis and provide an additional review on ATLAS specific to that token.(https://cyrator.com/post/647c851f7aad909b0a928021?ref=64392b816af5967625fa19d2)

POLIS is a token that you need to cast a vote, as it will be used across all levels of governance in... More

I think it's the greatest vision currently in development in the Web3/Crypto gaming space. Personally, I'm deeply invested in this game by building a guild in this metaverse. So be ready for biased reviews and hope, but with realistic views and warnings where needed.

It's a metaverse with a vast amount of planets, space stations, and locations to visit. We can fly and battle in spaceships,... More

Intergalactic game. Website looks awesome. Giving them 4 instead of 5 stars because the token has tanked in the year since it launched.
