Block Chain game adaptation series? Chain game 'Space Nation' will launch a live-action TV series

Hollywood director Roland Emmerich leads the production of the TV series 'Space Nation'.

Hollywood renowned director Roland Emmerich (known for works including "ID4 Independence Day", "2012", "The Day After Tomorrow", and the 1998 version of "Godzilla") is collaborating with producer Marco Weber to develop a live-action TV series based on the Block chain game "Space Nation". This news has sparked widespread attention in the industry as this is the first time a Block chain game has been adapted into a live-action series.

It is reported that Emmerich and Weber plan to explore the history, background story, and setting of "Space Nation" through a live-action series. However, they did not choose traditional TV networks or streaming platforms for issuance, but pursued a non-traditional issuance method. Weber stated in an interview with "Variety":

"We hope to take an approach that aligns with the overall philosophy of our game. Our goal is to fund the majority of the show's budget through our own economic system and Token."

《Space Nation》: A New Attempt of Blockchain Games

"Space Nation" is a large-scale multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), in which players will play the role of a starship captain. In this game, the application of Blockchain technology allows players to participate in a Token-based economic system and to purchase, sell, and trade Non-fungible Tokens (NFT) in the game. The game is developed by Space Nation Inc., founded by Emmerich, Weber, former senior project manager at Blizzard Entertainment Jerome Wu, and game developer Tony Tang.

The project received a funding of $50 million in the early stage and was conceived as a 'cross-media' platform from the beginning. Currently, the team has produced an animated short film featuring the game character 'Zoey', and the game has undergone a 'soft launch' test on the PC platform. With its influence in Hollywood and the gaming industry, as well as its strong funding and ambitious roadmap, 'Space Nation' has become a highly anticipated player in the blockchain gaming industry.

Cross-Media Development: From Games to TV Series

The cross-media development of 'Space Nation' is not limited to the game itself. Emmerich and Weber also collaborated with director Martin Weisz to produce a series of animated shorts featuring 'Zoey' as the protagonist, telling humorous stories of her quest for fame in space. These shorts, produced by Emmerich and Weber, with Weisz as the creative director, add Depth to the universe of 'Space Nation'. The development of a live-action TV series is seen as an extension of this cross-media strategy.

Emmerich said, "Collaborating with Marco and the game development team to expand the functionality of this new science fiction universe is a unique creative experience. I am excited to continue exploring the possibilities of cross-media storytelling."

Weber also added: 'We are in an important phase as fans begin to experience the expansion of our IP with the launch of Space Nation Online. Exploring how different entertainment media can be integrated to build a larger universe is a satisfying process.'

Future Outlook and Challenges

Although 'Space Nation' has achieved initial success in the blockchain gaming industry, introducing Non-fungible Tokens and blockchain technology into large-scale multiplayer online games is still a challenge for mainstream players. Currently, the space opera game market is dominated by games such as 'EVE Online' and 'No Man's Sky.' 'Space Nation' hopes to break this pattern through its unique blockchain economic system and cross-media strategy.

In the future, Space Nation Inc. plans to announce more about the live-action TV series, additional animated shorts, and other exciting development details. Whether in the gaming or film and television industry, 'Space Nation' strives to create a truly interconnected cross-media experience for a global audience. However, to stand out in the fierce market competition and technological challenges, it still requires the team's unremitting efforts and innovation.
