Seoul, South Korea – September 23, 2025 – In a groundbreaking collaboration set to reshape the gaming landscape, blockchain platform Story and AI-powered game creation tool Verse8 have joined forces to enable creators to build licensed multiplayer worlds using iconic intellectual properties (IP) like Moonbirds and Azuki. This innovative partnership was unveiled today at the Origin Summit in Seoul, promising to democratize game development and empower creators worldwide.

A New Era of Game Creation

Verse8, which allows users to generate 2D and 3D games through simple natural language prompts, has already attracted thousands of creators and boasts over 800,000 monthly active users, despite still being in beta. The platform’s unique technology can produce 3D assets from a single image, making game creation accessible to those without coding skills.

By integrating with Story’s programmable licensing infrastructure, creators can now register their content—characters, quests, and environments—on the blockchain, ensuring proper attribution and revenue-sharing mechanisms for both IP holders and creators. This means that anyone can remix and monetize beloved characters from Moonbirds and Azuki, creating a vibrant ecosystem of user-generated content.

Unlocking Creative Potential

As part of this collaboration, creators will have the ability to customize Moonbirds and Azuki IPs, incorporating them into new game environments and monetizing their creations through in-game purchases and branded expansions. Revenue distribution will be managed through programmable royalties recorded on Story’s blockchain, ensuring that all parties benefit from the creative process.

For instance, a player could design an Azuki-themed cyberpunk battle arena, complete with custom avatars and lore, and offer premium content like exclusive weapons or missions. This innovative model ensures that a share of the revenue flows back to the original creators and NFT holders, fostering a collaborative environment.

The Future of IP-Native Gaming

This partnership marks a significant milestone, as it allows IP holders to seamlessly transition their assets into interactive gaming formats, with all usage rights and revenue shares enforced via smart contracts on Story’s blockchain. The integration of AI, IP, and on-chain licensing reflects broader trends in digital entertainment, where intellectual property is increasingly recognized as a valuable asset class.

S.Y. Lee, Co-Founder of Story, emphasized the transformative potential of this collaboration: “IP isn’t meant to sit still. With programmable infrastructure, it becomes interactive, remixable, and composable, ready for a world where culture is built by communities and powered by agents.”

Kevin Lee, CEO of Verse8, echoed this sentiment, stating, “Story gives us the missing layer we needed: trusted licensing infrastructure that works in real time, at scale, for user-generated content.”

Community Empowerment

The collaboration has garnered enthusiastic responses from leaders of both Moonbirds and Azuki. Spencer Gordon-Sand, CEO of Moonbirds, expressed excitement about the potential for community engagement, while Zagabond, Founder of Azuki, highlighted the importance of empowering fans to co-create stories and experiences.

As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, the partnership between Story and Verse8 is poised to redefine how creators interact with IP, paving the way for a new era of interactive entertainment. With the promise of community-made games featuring Moonbirds and Azuki characters on the horizon, the future of gaming has never looked more exciting.
