MapleStory Universe developer Nexpace has announced an undisclosed strategic investment into South Korea genAI game-making platform Verse8. This will see the platform integrated into the MapleStory Universe Builder ecosystem.
Nexpace says this will supercharge its Infinite IP Playground philosophy, enabling creators to combine MapleStory IP with their own imagination, aided and speeded by AI.
“Just as short-form and snackable content reshaped media consumption, we believe games will increasingly be valued for short, instantly fun experiences that are easy to try and easy to share. In that environment, the ecosystem advantage comes from a steady flow of compact, high-impact games rather than relying solely on a small number of long-cycle productions,” it states on Medium.
In terms of the financials deal, Nexpace gets the right to acquire equity in Verse8’s US arm, paying with NXPC tokens that will be distributed via a vesting schedule.
