The Star Atlas Story & Gaming On-Chain

We chat with Michael Wagner, Founder & CEO of Star Atlas, about everything crypto gaming. We start with the origins of building the Star Atlas game before diving into a litany of topics covering fully on-chain games vs minimally on-chain games, dealing with botting, IP rights, economic balance, and many others. We also spend a good deal of time understanding Star Atlas's multi-pronged approach to engaging with their userbase across desktop, mobile, and augmented reality applications. -        - Time Stamps 0:00 - Pre Breakpoint excitement 4:44 - Star Atlas origins  11:12 - Why build on Solana vs App Chain 19:00 - Modding and IP rights 22:14 - Building a sustainable game economy 29:20 - How to deal with botting 36:12 - Thinking about player types 41:33 - How much state can be recorded on-chain 45:55 - Hiding on-chain state from players 47:01 - Future of gaming venues 54:42 - Star Atlas tokenomics 1:01:34 - Using novel mobile games to increase touch points with the players 1:06:05 - Advice for builders -        - Podcast Resources Follow Sal: https://twitter.com/Sal_The_Bull Follow Dave: https://twitter.com/SolBeachBum Follow Unlayered: https://twitter.com/UnlayeredPod Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or Google: https://unlayered.io/ Clips on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UnlayeredPod -        - Episode Resources Follow Michael : https://twitter.com/at_mwagner Follow Star Atlas : https://twitter.com/staratlas Play Star Atlas : https://play.staratlas.com Sal’s Web 3 gaming megathread : https://twitter.com/Sal_The_Bull/status/1575969083492810772
