Oooohhh, ok I understand now! Thanks for your explanation. Will the Jewels website be launched directly after the ICO or will there be some time in between the ICO finishing and its lanch?
The jewels website would be launched when the gambling games are ready. Developing the gambling games is what the funds from the ICO will be used for. As referenced in the development timeline, here's what we're looking at.
Web foundation: This must be done before we can do anything else obviously and involves authorizing wallets and linking them to game accounts, handling currency transactions securely, etc. Ready by ICO end.
Web Shop: Integrated into apex/heroes it allows players to spend jewels on in-game items/cosmetics/boosts. Ready by ICO end to allow for instant demand for the coin.
Heroes Launch: Huge step up from apex in terms of features, content and potential market. Ready by ICO end (+- 2 weeks). If there's any delays we'll be letting people know. No major issues are known currently.
Provably Fair Gambling [BETA]: First set of gambling games would be added to Heroes/Apex for testing. Timeline is under 2 months after ICO end (need the funds from ICO to fund development and hire an artist)
Provably Fair Gambling: [RELEASE]: Website + Mobile apps released for the gambling games. This would happen aprox 1 month after the beta and would expand our market to those not playing our servers.
After this point development continues and will focus on the following key points (timeline not fixed, depends on other factors).
-Expanded P2P Trading: Players can list their items and trade for in-game currency or jewels. Accessible in-game + on heroes website.
-Expanded Gambling: The first set of gamblign games will primarily be slot machines and dice games. Once released, we will work on developing more complex games such as blackjack and roulette where we can do things more complex than simple player vs house gambling.
-Expanded Accessibility: The more non crypto users we can attract to the gambling mobile app/website the better. We will be introducing things such as referral rewards, daily login bonuses, freeplay mode and more.
-Expanded Partnerships: Partnering with other servers, other games and other websites to integrate our games into their projects to expand the reach of jewels will allow us to keep growing past our own projects while introducing more gambling games over time to keep things fresh.
Note: I left rebirth off of this list as it will be developed separately and its dev timeline is less static.
