Planetarium Labs

Planetarium Labs is a community-driven Web3 gaming company. Its core product is Nine Chronicles, a fully on-chain, open-source MMORPG where game logic runs on the blockchain, allowing players to mod and utilize the game's IP. The company also operates Verse8, an AI-powered game creation platform that lets users generate games through natural language prompts.

Their key strength lies in combining blockchain transparency with community modding. Unlike traditional games where servers can be shut down and assets are controlled by the publisher, Nine Chronicles ensures permanent existence and true player ownership. Verse8 addresses the high barrier to game development by enabling non-programmers to create simple games through AI assistance.

In the past six months, Planetarium Labs has focused on expanding Verse8's capabilities. However, testing shows the platform still has significant limitations: it struggles with generating game types beyond preset templates, often fails to produce fully functional code from natural language alone, and its debugging capabilities are unreliable. The platform currently hosts over 100 games but has limited active users. Despite the 'no coding required' claim, basic programming knowledge is still necessary for complex projects. The company continues to iterate on both Nine Chronicles' mobile experience and Verse8's AI pipeline.
