In this series I will be taking a deeper look into Parsec Frontiers whitepaper trying to simplify and interpret their ambition for the game. Although before we get to the whitepaper, let’s have a look at the company behind the project.

Artplant, a company started in 2001, is a Norwegian video game producer with premises in Norway’s capital, Oslo. Combined with Bigpoint Games, Artplant developed the popular MMO game Battlestar Galactica Online, that gained over 2 million registered users within 3 months of release. They have several years of experience developing and maintaining massive multiplayer online games, MMOs. Their key to success is that the developers listen to the community. There are currently 6 persons in management, 5 advisors and 19 developers. Having such a strong team as Artplant has will definetly make this an ambitious project.

“Parsec Frontiers is the next generation of blockchain gaming. A deep and feature-rich MMO experience built from the ground up with blockchain in mind, where players are free to explore and conquer the whole galaxy. Built with the players — owned by the players, changing the way computer games are funded and developed.”

Essentially Artplant’s vision is to create a blockchain powered virtual economy within a massive multiplayer online game that takes place in the Milky Way. The thought behind utilizing blockchain technology is to optimize the user experience by allowing users to easily bring in or take out assets in the game and exchange it for legal tender whilst at the same time being assured that your valuables in the game are safe. Exactly how this will be achieved is something that we will go deeper into on a later post, so stay tuned.

In Parsec Frontiers, which is based in an open galaxy, you will be able to travel around the galaxy in 3d and explore different parts of the galaxy where people have yet to discover, there you can find inhabitable planets, set up a colony and start extracting resources. You would then be able to craft new items and trade on the exchange. As a player you able to learn different skills depending on what path you want to take, either you want to engage in warfare or try to get from rags to riches. Under you will find ingame footage of the current protoype of the game.

With the crowdsale coming up on April 27th — 31st of May you should definetly take a look at this game, because as of now it looks spectacular. With the bounty program currently ongoing you could also get involved and earn some free Parsec Tokens yourself! In May the developers will start to auction starships, that will be the very first ships to leave Earth after it were “destroyed”, in search of new inhabitable planets to set up colonies. Basically, you would get a head start at the game owning one of these ships.

In the following posts I will dive into Parsec Frontiers Whitepaper where we will take a more technical look at the different aspects of the game. If you in the meantime are interested in learning more about Parsec Frontiers, I suggest you look at their homepage, there you will find all information you need. However, if you have a question regarding Parsec Frontiers I also suggest joining the Discord channel or Telegram (it could have some spam due to over 20000 members though), where the Community manager is active.
