The concept and timing for 'Star Atlas' reminds me too much of 'Star Citizen', Pay now for an eventual game. Yes, Star Citizen is now playable and has weekly events but how long did it take? I am hoping Star Atlas doesn't prove to be the same.
Your project sounds interesting! To allow participants to interact with their NFT, Sounds like it's going to be ambitious but a cause worth fighting for! The Art NFTs have given the term 'NFT' a bit of a bad rap so I hope your project is successful in showing the masses what the true purpose of owning an NFT is about.
Thank you for announcing your project and I will be keeping an eye out for updates!
