Shouldn't the dev be focused on building the game instead of a new cryptocurrency?

The dev is focused on building the game, his newest project Heroes is suppose to launch near the start of September. The purpose of Jewels is to fund development for his large scale upcoming project called Rebirth. Apex and Heroes simply demonstrate to us or well at least to me that the dev is competent and knows what he's doing. His past shows me that he knows how a community, cater towards the gamers playing his games and monetize it successfully.

I don't see why he would spend development time building a new cryptocurrency when he could leverage an existing one instead.

I agree since the currency doesn't need to do much. They could be leveraging an existing one by simply cloning an existing coin which wouldn't take a lot of time to make small modifications as required or use an asset on a coin like NXT, BTS, XCP etc. I think they did state at the at some point they could do an asset swap if they required the power of another block chain like ETH's smart contracts.

Where did they talk about a swap?

My bad

On the note of smart contracts, I personally have looked into Etherum but have not had much chance to experiment with or learn Solidity although it seems like a fairly straight forward language. While at this time I'm not 100% sure about everything gambling related being able to fit under a smart contracts it is an idea we're open to. I'm aware of the fact that we can utilize an Etherum token stored in a smart contract and effectively do an asset swap when we're ready to pursue the smart contract route. I'd like to stress though with the recent incident of the DAO it's clear that this route is something that should not be rushed so we see this more as an end-game idea. Definitely we will need to consult with parties who are more familiar with Solidity and smart contract development to ensure we don't unleash another disaster like that. If you know anyone who's had some decent experience with Solidity and Etherum, I'd love to have a chat with them so please encourage them to email us at jewels@apexconquer.com or better yet reach out to us via Slack.

They were talking about using ETH's smart contracts, but not an "asset" per say like a XCP asset in the BCY sense.

Don't know how I could have missed that post. Thanks for finding it and showing it to me.

Solidity keeps on improving. If you list your concerns or talk to the develop team much clearly, they must be cleared or must be included for the improvement.
