14 DAY TRIAL // Project Whitecard Studios Inc. has announced that its NASA-themed online game Astronaut: Moon, Mars and Beyond has changed its name to Starlite in order to better convey the nature of the game.
The core of Starlite is built around a Space Act Agreement with the NASA Learning Technologies division and is designed to push the concepts of space exploration and encourage players to get STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) skills.
Khal Shariff, the chief executive officer at Project Whitecard Studios Inc., stated, “Starlite was chosen as a name because it serves two purposes. Firstly and creatively, 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.”
He added, “Secondly, Starlite 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.”
Starlite will be launched on PC and mobile platforms.
