MetaGravity :
San Francisco, CA – March 18, 2024 – MetaGravity, a leader in decentralized cloud infrastructure, joins forces with Star Atlas, the groundbreaking space exploration MMO built on Solana. This collaboration on MetaGravity’s HyperScale Engine empowers Star Atlas to achieve unprecedented scalability within their vast universe, enabling a truly epic experience for players.
Star Atlas: A Space Exploration MMO
Star Atlas isn't just a game; it's a never before seen spacefaring adventure. Built on Unreal Engine 5 and powered by the Solana blockchain, Star Atlas lets players explore a vast cosmos, claim land, forge alliances, and participate in a thriving player-driven economy.
Breaking the Limits: Scaling Beyond Simple Player Count
While Star Atlas boasts a passionate community of over 175,000 users, their initial architecture limited them to 80 concurrent users in a single instance. This restricted the potential for truly epic space encounters and limited opportunities for community engagement.
HyperScale Engine: Unlocking a Universe of Possibilities
Unlike other market solutions, MetaGravity's HyperScale Engine helped Star Atlas' scale by considering factors like visual fidelity, object density, and interactive complexity, alongside the number of players. This allows Star Atlas to:
Balance Rich Detail and Massive Player Populations: Explore a universe with detail alongside a staggering 30,000 concurrent users.
Seamless Replication of Avatars and Gameplay: From intricate avatars to thrilling combat, HyperScale replicates everything with exceptional fidelity, ensuring a smooth and immersive experience.
Unmatched Complexity: HyperScale tackles intricate physics simulations and large-scale events, supporting diverse gameplay modes in stress tests.
Star Atlas and MetaGravity are pushing the boundaries of supermassive MMOs built on web3. This partnership signifies a significant leap forward in creating supermassive and immersive online experiences.
Star Atlas and MetaGravity will be demonstrating their game and technology at GDC in San Francisco between 18-22nd March, 2024. If you are interested in learning more, please visit MetaGravity’s booth (S927) during the Expo days.
