Developers Raise Funds for Official NASA MMO

A small group of developers won a contest to create an official NASA MMO, and they're now looking for help to fund the beta. Project Whitecard Inc. and Virtual Heroes of Applied Research Associates are hoping to raise $25,000 on Kickstarter by October 11 to kick off the development and finish the first beta of Astronaut: Moon, Mars and Beyond. They've already raised more than half of their goal.

Are you wondering what features will be included in the NASA MMO? Here are some details from the Kickstarter page:

Astronaut: Moon, Mars and Beyond features a new mode of game-play: mission-based space exploration, providing exciting player vs. environment and compelling team vs. team play. A goldmine of NASA MMO content will be employed, permitting authentic solar system exploration, and delivering engaging Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics concepts."

The team plans to deliver the Astronaut Academy, the first version of the game, next year. To keep tabs on Astronaut: Moon, Mars and Beyond, follow the game's Facebook and Twitter pages.
