Astra Nova

The vision of Astra Nova is to create a revolutionary gaming ecosystem that merges traditional RPG gameplay with decentralized technologies. The game emphasizes player ownership, where each action in the game contributes to a larger narrative that players can influence. The design draws inspiration from sci-fi and fantasy genres, weaving an intricate storyline driven by player actions.

At the heart of Astra Nova's narrative is the cosmic conflict between opposing forces. Players explore multiple realms, with lore-rich environments teeming with hidden quests and collectibles. The introduction of AI-driven processes accelerates development, while User-Generated Content (UGC) competitions allow the community to shape the game’s future, making players co-creators in the gaming universe.

The game is built on cutting-edge technology such as Hedera Hashgraph and Polygon’s Immutable zkEVM, ensuring it runs seamlessly with AAA-quality graphics while maintaining decentralized features. By focusing on a community-driven approach, Astra Nova aims to transform how games are played and developed in the Web3 era.

The development roadmap of Astra Nova is structured in multiple phases, starting with research and team building in 2021. Key milestones include launching the game’s MVP demo and cinematic trailers, followed by NFT launches like the Deviants NFT collection. As of 2024, the game is expanding partnerships across the MENA region, preparing for beta testing and full game release by 2025.

Future milestones include the launch of gameplay across platforms such as Steam, Epic Store, and mobile devices. The project will also roll out NFT staking, game asset drops, and strategic fundraising rounds before the full release.

Astra Nova is led by a diverse team with significant experience in blockchain and game development. Nikhil Malankar serves as the Lead Game Developer, while Faizy Ahmed and Muhamed Ashhar are the co-founders driving the strategic vision of the project. The team includes experts in game design, marketing, and development, with Ben X Trinh acting as the Chief Strategy Officer and Dr. Keith Barrows overseeing legal operations as CLO.

The project also benefits from advisors like Jose Alcides Rodrigues (Head of Business Development) and Tom Baldwin (Lead Storyboard Writer), as well as support from high-profile investors and gaming industry veterans.

Astra Nova has a strong focus on early community involvement. It offers exclusive beta testing opportunities through its demo game available on platforms like Steam, Epic Store, and others. Early participants can contribute feedback while unlocking rewards, including NFTs and $RVV tokens.

The Black Pass, a free-to-mint NFT, offers early access to airdrops and quests that allow players to earn Shards, convertible into $RVV during the token launch.
