is there any beta testing for any of the games? as in right now currently. if there is, they could at least blog about it...on bug fixes, etc.
No beta AFAIK. WildShark was claiming that whales got alpha version, but he's known to post random crap so it's safe to assume there is nothing yet.
How is it that they have like approx $300k usd and can't release a bunch of games even half baked ones to demonstrate the platform? You could go to those forums full of people that make game maker games, freeware titles using unreal tech etc...
surely they could provide the bounty out to teams to encourage adding ion.
To me it seems they took ico and aren't really spending it to actually promote the platform. If i was running a project i'd have a clear direction listed with intent of where to spend the ico funds not just say for bounties and dev.
I'd say
- 50btc spent on getting devs to make games
(then post links of requests at forums showing this bounty out)
- 10btc spent on third party devs to progress api
etc like that showing how its used.
It still sounds bloody dodgy to me. Technically the can make gravity or rather have someone else do the majority of the work then pay themselves 300btc and say it took 500 hours x this cost per hour so we pay ourselves that.
IPO's/ICO's and their apparent whitepapers and direction stink at present. They are so vague and have no transparent checks to ensure people are honest just trust us. They took btc over fiat as in a lot of areas bitcoin isn't considered cash so avoid the whole scamminess of direct fiat. Then convert to fiat straight away. They get what they wanted but try to get through loop holes on the accountability.
The best part is they don't have to defend themselves as those that threw money at them do it for them. They'll blindly ignore others comments and go on defense mode because they don't want to believe that what they invested might be a bad investment.
