Verse Studios Releases Game Economics White Paper
Los Angeles, California - Verse Studios is pleased to announce that they have officially released the first of a number of video game industry white papers that the company is collaborating on. The paper, entitled "Real World Economic Structures in Massively Multi-player Online Games", examines some of the pressing problems facing large online game economies found in many MMOGs.
"We saw a serious problem in online game economies that was leading to players getting frustrated, leaving a game, or circumventing game rules and mechanics. Rather than simply approach the problem as a rule enforcement issue, we attempted to find some solutions to the problems faced by large online economies. We are implementing some of them in our upcoming product Verse: Tactics." said Verse Studios co-founder and CCO Marcus Riedner.
The white paper can be found on the Verse Studios website at http://www.verse-studios.com/economicsinmmos.html and is available for syndication.
Verse: Tactics
Verse: Tactics, the first product to begin development at Verse Studios, is an exciting space combat game combining traditional RTS action and community-driven game play. Verse: Tactics will let players control every aspect of the battlefield, from tactical command to large spaceship control to dog-fighting.
Verse: Tactics focuses on real-time strategic game play in which teams of players engage in space warfare in massive to-scale 3D arenas. Building teams and taking up sides in a conflict, players will engage in combat, tactical and strategic planning and resource gathering in order to achieve victory. Each battle scenario will be a unique and exciting experience filled with surprises and explosive game-play action. Players will have statistics that are tracked and charted over multiple battles, allowing players to not only compete in battle, but also on game-wide scoreboards for top positions in the community.
