In the crowded world of Web3 gaming, most projects are still struggling to merge blockchain infrastructure with a genuinely immersive player experience. Astra Nova, however, is turning heads across the ecosystem—not only for its bold vision of AI-powered NPCs and decentralized storytelling, but also for its community-first strategy and backing from major names like the Shib Army, NVIDIA Inception Program, and Outlier Ventures. I sat down with Astra Nova's CEO Faizy Ahmed, to unpack his ambitions, explore how Astra Nova's AI Entertainment Ecosystem is evolving, and ask what it really takes to build the next-generation gaming universe. Let's start at the beginning. What was the original inspiration behind Astra Nova, and what problems in traditional gaming were you looking to solve? Tulitaka kuepuka asili ya kawaida ya michezo ya kubahatisha - ulimwengu ambapo NPCs kurudia mazungumzo sawa na kila mchezaji kufuata hadithi moja. na Astra Nova, tuliona ulimwengu unaoishi: ulimwengu ambapo hadithi zinabadilika kulingana na tabia ya mchezaji, NPCs kukumbuka na kujibu maamuzi yako, na kila mchezo ni wa kipekee. Astra Nova uses AGI-powered NPCs. That's a big leap from traditional game AI. What does this mean for players in your universe specifically? Fikiria kwa njia hii: Wewe sio tena kucheza dhidi ya msimbo—wewe ni kuingiliana na wahusika wa kimwili ambao kujifunza, kuendeleza, na hata kujenga muungano au ushindani. Ikiwa mchezaji mara kwa mara huchagua njia ya kigaidi katika Astra Nova, ulimwengu utajibu. NPCs inaweza kuandaa ulinzi, kubadilisha uaminifu, au kubadilisha tabia yao kabisa. Si tu AI-kuendeshwa—ni tabia ya tabia. Tumeunda mifumo ambapo sifa yako inakuja kabla yako katika maeneo mbalimbali ya ulimwengu wetu. What technical challenges has Astra Nova encountered when implementing AI-driven NPCs across your different platforms? Mchanganyiko wa ushirikiano unatofautiana kulingana na jukwaa. jukwaa letu la Black Pass linaloundwa na wavuti linahitaji utekelezaji wa mwanga unaoelekezwa kwenye mifumo ya mazungumzo, wakati ARPG yetu kuu inahitaji miti ya mazoezi na maamuzi. Ufuatiliaji wa mstari wa jukwaa umekuwa shida yetu kubwa—kuwa na uhakika kwamba NPC "inawakumbuka" mahusiano ya mchezaji kama yalivyotokea katika mtihani wetu wa Epic Store, mini-mchezo wetu wa Telegram, au uzoefu wetu ujao wa simu. Astra Nova is backed by the Shib Army, NVIDIA Inception, and Outlier Ventures. What has that support enabled for your development? NVIDIA imekuwa muhimu katika kutusaidia kuboresha mifano yetu ya AGI na upatikanaji wa rasilimali za kompyuta za kisasa. Outlier Ventures ilisaidia kuunda tokenomics yetu na kubuni ya mazingira, kuleta ujuzi wao wa kina wa Web3. Jeshi la Shib, kwa upande mwingine, ni nguvu kubwa ya kitamaduni. Msaada wao umenipa kuonekana na uaminifu ndani ya jumuiya ya Web3, hasa kati ya watumiaji wenye asili ya jamii ambao wanahangaika sana na uchumi wa wazi. There's been significant investment in Web3 gaming already. How has Astra Nova approached the challenges that caused earlier projects to struggle with mainstream adoption? Mafunzo mawili muhimu yanaongoza mbinu yetu. Kwanza, gameplay inapaswa kuja kabla ya tokenomics - wachezaji wanataka uzoefu wa kuvutia, sio zana za kifedha zilizofichwa kama michezo. Hiyo ni kwa nini tumejenga ARPG ya kuvutia kwanza, na vipengele vya Web3 zinazoimarisha badala ya kufafanua uzoefu. Pili, shinikizo la juu bado ni vikwazo kubwa. Tumewekeza sana katika kufafanua vipengele vya Web3 ili wachezaji waweze kufurahia Astra Nova bila haja ya kuelewa teknolojia ya blockchain. Beyond the core game, Astra Nova has built an entire transmedia ecosystem. How does AI enhance these interconnected experiences? AI inatuwezesha kuzalisha hadithi za parallel ambazo zinaendana na mchezo wetu wa msingi, jukwaa letu la utafutaji wa Black Pass, webcomics yetu ya NovaToon, na hata michezo yetu ya mini ya Telegram - zote zinazoendana na uchaguzi wa wachezaji. Sisi tayari tunaona mstari wa utafutaji na mafundisho yanabadilika sio tu ndani ya mchezo lakini katika muundo wetu wa maudhui ya nje. Fikiria Astra Nova kama franchise ya kuishi ambapo kanuni inafanywa katika muda halisi na maamuzi ya jumuiya yetu. With your team's AAA background—veterans from titles like GTA 5, Mortal Kombat, and Assassin's Creed—how do you balance AI-generated content with traditional game development expertise? Ni juu ya kutumia AI kama ko-pilot, sio kubadilisha. Uzoefu wetu wa miaka 20+ wa AAA kutoka kwa studio kama vile Activision, BioWare, na Rockstar inatoa maelezo jinsi tunavyounda miundo, wakati AI inachukua vipengele vya nguvu. Looking at Astra Nova's roadmap, how do you see your project evolving in the next 2-3 years? Sisi ni kwenda zaidi ya mfano wa "kucheza-kuzaa" kwa kile tunachoita "kucheza-na-kuendeleza." mfumo wetu wa token $RVV, tuzo za mali za ulimwengu halisi, na utawala wa jamii kupitia DAO itawawezesha wachezaji kuimiliki na kuunda sehemu za ulimwengu wetu. Na ushirikiano wetu wa TGE uliopangwa na unaendelea na majukwaa kama OKX na Crypto.com, tunajenga uumbaji wa thamani endelevu badala ya mechanics ya uwekezaji. Can you tell us more about Astra Nova's community governance features and how DAOs will work in your ecosystem? Tunatumia mbinu za DAO ambazo kwa kweli zinaathiri ujenzi wa ulimwengu, sio utawala tu kwa ajili yake. Fikiria kura za jamii zinazoamua ni aina gani za makundi mapya yanayojiunga na ulimwengu wa Astra Nova, au jinsi hadithi kuu zinaendelea. jukwaa letu la Black Pass tayari linaonyesha hili na watumiaji zaidi ya 210,000 waliojiandikisha wanaoshiriki kikamilifu katika maamuzi ya mazingira. Where do you see Astra Nova by the end of 2025? Tunatazama Astra Nova kuwa mfano wa jinsi michezo ya kubahatisha inayoendeshwa na AI, ambayo inamilikiwa na jamii inaweza kuonekana. maono yetu ni kuwa na uzoefu kadhaa unaounganishwa kuishi katika majukwaa mbalimbali - kutoka kwa uanzishaji wetu wa ARPG kamili hadi uzoefu wa kuongezeka wa simu hadi matukio ya kweli ya kuvutia. Na mtumiaji wetu wa sasa wa kila mwezi zaidi ya 200,000 katika mazingira yetu na msaada kutoka kwa viongozi wa sekta, sisi ni nafasi ya kuongoza mabadiliko haya.
