NASA MMO renamed to Starlite

Project Whitecard Studios is the developer behind the upcoming NASA themed MMO game previously called NASA MMO. The developer today announced that it has renamed the project to Starlite. The game features the adventures of mankind's future missions to explore the solar system and beyond. The game will be available as a browser based game and it will also come with a mobile version. Read on for project details.

NASA MMO renamed to Starlite

When I first heard of the idea, I thought it was fantastic. NASA themed MMO that features the journey of mankind into the outer reaches of the solar system. The MMO was initially called NASA MMO which was most probably just a code-name and today we find out the actual title of the game. Starlite. The Starlite name has been chosen as it serves two purposes according to the CEO of Project Whitecard Studios.

The game will feature mission-based space exploration, career advancement and awareness of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). 

Khal Shariff, CEO of Project Whitecard Studios Inc.says: "‘Starlite™’ was chosen as a name because it serves two purposes. It conveys the idea that the solar system is still the 'undiscovered country,' and that space-farers of the future will experience the loneliness, the excitement, and the necessities of survival where sometimes all you have to guide you are the solace and guidance of the stars above, and indeed, around you. Secondly the game is a much more manageable length of name. Although the sentiment and the phrase "Moon, Mars and Beyond," is echoed throughout the adventure, ‘Starlite™’ as a name and brand extends itself to this and our other related projects, such as the ‘Starlite™ Digital Badges’ made in conjunction with NASA. It also gives focus to the 4-pointed star as a motif borrowed from NASA and extends it to adventurers in the imagined future of our game."

According to the official site, the game is being privately funded and Project Whitecard Studios also signed a deal with Mindark, developers of Enthropia, to colaborate during the development of Starlite. 

The game's beta is expected to be released by the end of the year. The developer also published a new developer diary video on YouTube. It doesn't show much of the game but it's worth looking at.
