Animoca Brands to publish and develop “Crypto Space Commander” NFT based game
9 June 2021 -- HONG KONG -- Animoca Brands announced today that it has entered into a publishing agreement with Lucid Sight to grant Animoca Brands an exclusive and global license to publish and further develop the existing blockchain game Crypto Space Commander (CSC).
CSC, originally developed and published by Lucid Sight, is a space based massively multiplayer online blockchain game with fast-paced combat, a robust player economy, and an uncapped crafting system. Players can travel to different star systems, mine stellar bodies for resources, craft items and ships to sell, and battle pirates and other players while commanding their own starships.
CSC utilizes the Ethereum blockchain to secure game assets, enforce P2P contract actions, and run the game economy, enabling player-owned assets that allow players profit from their skills and wits in the vastness of space.
Animoca Brands first partnered with Lucid Sight in 2019 (refer to announcement of 3 April 2019). In addition to CSC, Lucid Sight is launching Colyseus Arena, a cloud solution for the democratization of multiplayer game development. Lucid Sight is also the developer of MLB Champions™, an officially licensed product of Major League Baseball and Major League Baseball Players Association and one of the first blockchain games based on a licensed major sports franchise. Lucid Sight also released various other titles including the PSVR game Herocade, Polyrunner, Star Drive, Z-Strike, and 405 Road Rage.
