I've managed to list XatteR on Nomics https://nomics.com/assets/xatter 🥳
Will be aiming for most listings soon, already submitted to coinPaprika 🪙🌶
If anyone knows nice reachable crypto listing websites, feel free to suggest!

Have you looked at the Stellar platform?

Trivially cheap and easy to create tokens, I use it myself: https://MakeMoney.Knotwork.com/stellar/

I've heard about Stellar as it's somewhat popular, anyway, already have a token and I find blockchains that don't work with MetaMask easy to neglect overall.

Sounds interesting, how is this one coming along?

-MarkM-


Making constant progress, though kinda slow at times. Hopefully will manage to get some funding or fix the bottlenecks, I'm working some angles on both fronts.
October will be busy month working on the project, since it's the time of Hacktoberfest, meaning a lot of contributors to open source projects. Thanks for your interest.

Re: Any newly play2earn NFT gaming out there to get into

Would appreciate if any member on here can help suggest me a play2earn NFT gaming I can be making steady income from. New but relaible project though. Thanks as you contribute.


Heya! My project is going in that direction, eSport, though it will take a bit longer to get there development wise, as it needs more funding and more people involved.
Perhaps you should check it out and keep an eye on it, I've recently started a thread about it around: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5393503.msg59840979

Where can i download it?

It's a browser based game. You play it first thing from the website.
There are also more direct links like
https://beta.ancientbeast.com and https://play.ancientbeast.com

Anyway, there's an open issue in our Github tracker so that at some point in the future we'll also have a downloadable version, similar to how Discord does things.
For now you can download the source code from Github repo and host it on your local machine, which is done often by developers contributing to the project (though nowadays many of us often use a more modern solution to get a fork set-up in the cloud with just 1 click without needing to download anything or do manual work, very convenient).


Can we earn from the game? If yes, is it token or in game items?
 Sorry i have become cautious when if its nft game. I dont want to be the last person carrying a heavy bag.

For now, you can earn by taking part of the development, from faucets or by trading the token itself.
This project is been in development for about 2 decades now, long before crypto and NFTs.
It's not designed with greed in mind, quite the opposite. People around figure its potential for dueling for crypto/NFT long time ago, especially since it's not luck based. One of the goals for this project is to easily allow good players to earn by playing well without investing anything (professional eSport players with sponsors).

There will always be a vanilla mode for the game that's pure (chess-like), meaning no tokens and NFTs at all, but the expansion will have way more going on, like some (MMO)RPG elements so it will involve the token and NFTs in a great way, no such crap as "last person carrying a heavy bag", ever. Most of the stuff will be cosmetic and the stuff that won't be cosmetic will be obtainable in multiple ways, even without spending anything at all.
Anyway, that sort of stuff is years ahead, not to worry about it now. This is not one of those NFT games coming out of the woodwork or appearing like mushrooms after a rain with a sole purpose of making quick profits. No pay-to-play or pay-to-win stuff (see next reply as well). Also keep in mind this is free open source and can be forked by community (it constantly is in order to try out patches).


Can you explain the gaming model for Ancient Beast ? Do we have to invest money in order to play the game ? As i understand this that we need to have Plasma which can be any tool to play this game and probably one have to buy this ?
I would only be interest to play this game, if i do not have to invest in the game. These days, many play to earn games are not giving the desired returns.

There will always be a vanilla mode, no NFTs or tokens involved, but only match-based (chess-like). So game will always have the core pure and free.
Expansion will make use of tokens and NFTs, in a smart way, adding more gameplay elements (like city building, sieges, crafting, etc), so a great and feasible economy system is designed over the years. Plasma for example will have a cap and will be replenish-able, depending on your playstyle, if you need more, you could obtain some XatteR in various ways and stake that in your structure to generate more Plasma (if that makes sense for your playstyle). You don't have to buy XatteR, you can get it in a lot of ways, like airdrops, faucets, contributing to the project or the ecosystem (fix patches, make drawings or create compatible assets to sell them yourself), playing well  (defeating and looting other players or even getting a sponsor) and so on. It's something that wasn't done before at this scale afaik, so when done right, it should influence a lot of other projects as well and set the bar to new heights (in a good and innovative way); there's a lot more going on with the design but this is not the place and time to reveal everything just yet, so only a glimpse Smiley

To be honest I HATE most games out there with a passion, one way or another, even most of the ones I constantly play. I fully want to avoid pay-to-play and pay-to-win type of crapware and build something solid, non-shady and non-vapourware that can properly scale globally. I'm playing the long term game when it comes to this project and everything is carefully thought out, tested and balanced. The more support I get and people involved into this, the better, as there are more resources and feedback to make something more polished by more points of view with a clear goal and vision in mind though from the start, because more chefs don't make the soup better, so nobody is steering this in weird directions by having power over it as I don't work under a corporation umbrella or under some weird boss, plus community can fork it to try out different things and flavors, which is all good. So idea is to make something great, scalable and sustainable that will improve situation for a lot of poor people and will also live on long before I die.

We're getting very close to a big release, which adds online multiplayer ⚔️
Looking for some investors or JS coders to speed things up.

Interesting. You just jumped on bitcointalk and your very first post is about insanity wolf? You could have made it more inviting by not being a newbie

+++ Fully agree!
When it comes to crypto and NFTs nowadays, they're all like moshrooms after rain. Everybody having dollar signs in their eyes and want to get rich easy and quick.
My project's Discord channel keeps getting spammed by NFT and crypto related bots big time *sigh*

Are there any projects like this?


Taking into account that using a blockchain for to microblogging seems to add rather large overhead, you might want to consider to what extent the Mastodon/Fediverse ecosystem can already achieve what you're looking for. Anyone who fears being censored on other instances can always setup their own instance.


Totally, fully agree. There's Mastodon already.

[Open Source] Ancient Beast - turn based strategy game
by
DreadKnight
on 07/04/2022, 10:00:51 UTC
Ancient Beast is a match based eSport, played 1vs1 or 2vs2, where each player starts with a Dark Priest, able to materialize from a wide variety of units with unique stats and abilities as the match progresses, in order to defeat all opponents.
Materializing units costs a limited resource called Plasma, which is also used to shield the Dark Priests from enemy attacks.

Ancient Beast is free and open source, playable from the browser from pretty much any device, as it's designed to adjust and be accessible, as well as compatible with most input methods.
Even if the project will involve heavy use of NFTs in an upcoming mode, there will always be a vanilla mode that will allow people to duel freely.

While I've had an account for many years now and I've seen people talk about Ancient Beast around quite a few times, figuring out its potential for dueling for crypto (especially since it's not chance based at all!), I'm just now posting about it around because a link to a thread around was asked of me when finally getting to list our project's utility token, XatteR ;-)

Some useful links:

Hope you enjoy the project. Always looking for new investors, sponsors and new blood/contributors, it's open source after all! So hopefully you'll pitch in or get involved as you see fit ❤

I'm still looking for some interesting crypto projects. -

(gameplay screenshot, not sure how to actually make images show up around here, maybe need higher level)

Heya, making a free open source game project called Ancient Beast.
You play it from the browser, 1vs1 or 2vs2 and each players starts with a Dark Priest unit that has a limited resource called plasma, that can be used to defend from enemy attacks or materialize from a wide variety of units, which have unique stats and abilities.

https://AncientBeast.com
https://github.com/FreezingMoon/AncientBeast

There was talks since about a decade ago around about the project and the potential it has in allowing people to battle for crypto, especially since it has no chance/luck based elements at all, which is super rare for eSports/mobas.

Will finally be making a thread on this forum about it, as I'm raising some money via GitCoin and need more help, super close to releasing a new major version but need support to get some extra help and tackle 2 showstopping issues that we've been stuck at.

A proper crowd funding campaign is quite a challenging task to get right. Been studying about this subject for quite a few months now and I'm still not confident, even if I've been working on my open source game project for quite a few years now with a lot of people and I have something quite playable to show... it seems gogodr has quite some good insight in his posts Smiley

Check this game out... http://ancientbeast.com/

You can donate bitcoin... It would be awesome if you could bet on matches with it though.

Thanks for mentioning my game project. That's actually on our to-do list, not exactly sure how it will get implemented, but the idea was mentioned overall.
We need to get online multiplayer feature into the game first though. Ancient Beast is designed to be easy to learn, fun and extremely strategical, no luck based stuff.

duxZero, if you're interested in teaming up, we could get in touch pretty soon.
