Thanks for the valuable feedback and Thanks Phil for addressing it

So we are currently working on a drop off system that will make the connection issues/ drop off's more robust. It's a tricky one to work around but we are working hard at it

Thanks again

Hello,


We have been asked this from our supporters on Telegram and on Discord also.  We have a brief post here on medium that gives a little insight into the promotion plans, but we can say, we are saving "The Best" for full game launch.

https://medium.com/augmentors/what-exactly-is-a-soft-launch-and-how-are-we-approaching-it-e22d69cdd3a0

During this time we are building a strong network of people , mostly gaming influencers, article writers, You Tube creators and people from the community to give Augmentors Game a huge boost in awareness come full launch.

We only get "one Shot" at this, so we want to make sure everything is in place and the game ticks all the right boxes.  We gained a lot of valuable feedback from pro Gamers at Comic Con, we  see there are areas where the game needs big improvement and we are working to change what is needed to make sure of the following.

1. Game is addictive. Yes, its no secret, we want players to be addicted to Augmentors Game.

2. Game is profitable. Yes, such is life, everything we do costs money, from rent to staff to events.
*Note we are also making sure, there is next to "zero" pay to win incentive, we want organic income.

3. Game is suitable to mobile gaming esports events. If we master points 1 and 2 above, then 3 should be a no brainer.

Hey KawaBunGa,

I cant answer 1. because this depends on your phone, but it should be a case of closing it, like you would with any app, please join our Discord channel for further assistance.

2. We are (and have been for a while) working on finalising the creature swap.  Originally the tokens were XCP based, but we decided that ERC is a better option for gaming tokens, im sure most of you will agree.   So we are working on enabling a token swap for ICO creature tokens to the new ERC-721 format as well as the creature token, Databits tokens will likely move over to ERC also, this would be another "token" swap also. We have been and are in full contact with Bittrex  who are aware of our plans and told us they will happily handle any future swpa as needed.

We will make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible and out top priority is to make sure no one has any risk of losing tokens. There are quite a few "moving parts" but all is coming along nicely, ETA for Tokens swap, as per roadmap is Q4 , which we are into so hope to keep to this timeframe.

As people know, we have just wrapped up a very enjoyable and very important 3 day event at  Comic Con.  We were very lucky with out timing as it could not have worked out better, being able to soft launch Augmentors at such a big event, was a real blessing.

We have met with a lot of gaming influencers and had several interviews with gaming related websites and spoke with representatives from gaming companies.  The comments from people, general public and professional people where very positive, they love how we are using Augmented Reality, they spoke abut a lack of quality and how we have put the "magic ingredient" into the recipe. We made many more contact who in the future will help us promote and reach new people in the industry.

Promotion.  We have plans and from the last 3 days, we now have even better and bigger plans for promoting Augmentors going forward, i would just like to add, in Soft Launch, this is a time for data collecting, we will be analysing all feedback and data to fine tune Augmentors Game and have it hit the ground running come full launch.  Once we are ready for full launch, then you will see a big push in promotion, we will reveal much more detail when the time comes.

For now, please enjoy these photo from Comic Con and rest assured, we have a professional team in the game design, creation and also marketing. It takes a lot of careful planning and execution, so i hope everyone here understands, that everything will happen when the time is right.

Part of the Augmentors Game Team at our stall, im sure you will all agree, the designer knocked it out of the park, many people commented how "eye-catching" it was and considering over the 3 days we always had a busy stall, we fully agree.

https://i.imgur.com/zZxK1ce.jpg

Our both soon filled up with gamers not only from Africa but from many countries worldwide,
one thing is for sure, for future events. "we are gonna need a bigger boat stall"

Hello Everyone,

A reminder to check out our White Paper, it is updated with the new game economy from May this year.     We will be updating it again during the Soft Launch period as we edit and enhance our game economy and other areas that require improvement or adjusting due to the Soft launch feedback and statistics.


https://www.augmentorsgame.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/25052018-DatabitsWhitepaper-v2.1.2.pdf

a lot of the questions you may have will be answered here and also, please make sure to join our Discord server, the main place to get the latest news from our team.

https://discordapp.com/invite/rStv26P

As i have mentioned previously, this is a life long passion, not only for myself but for all of the team, since we launched the game in January last year, we have grown and formed a Team Spirit that is so inspiring and helps us drive forward and produce the game that you will soon see (from the people who have access to the soft launch). The Augmented Reality space and the mobile gaming world is constantly changing, we evolve and change with the times and we always will, keeping our game looknig fresh and feeling good.

There has been no shortcuts, no "that will do" attitude, everything we do gets checked over, time and again, to make sure it is the best we can deliver and i think the people will agree come full launch.


We hope to see members of the Crypto community at Comic Con South Africa and if you can not make the trip over here, then we have plans to attend more conferences, but for now, all hands on deck,  full focus on the soft launch and Comic Con.

We hope you enjoy our trailer which we will be putting to good use to spread the word and promote our game.   We appreciate all the help and support you give, there is nothing more after a hards weeks work, to read the positive comments, so keep them coming!

#Augmentorsgame for the Win!

Hi Guys,

Thank you for the comments and posting links.    I am not able to spend much time to update here as we do our best to update via our Social Channels, Medium being the best place for regular, weekly updates.

As you will know, we are attending Comic Con, South Africa, the first time it has been held here, so it will be a really special occasion.  We have a stand and will be there to promote Augmentors Game to a Sold out Audience.  

We have a competition right now and you can win 2 tickets for the Comic Con event held on  14-16th September, we are giving away tickets for the Saturday and Sunday.

How to enter

Share the Augmentors teaser video on your social media channels and make sure that you use the hashtag #AugmentorsGameTrailer, and also tag @AugmentorsGame & @ComicConAfrica to be eligible for the lucky draw.

We have had great feedback from this teaser, just wait until you see the full clip, its Epic! Along with Comic Con is our Soft Launch, more about this in this weeks medium post, we are working flat out and have a wealth of feedback from our community during last testing. Its impossible to say how long Soft Launch will last for, we have two very important goals to reach before we can go ahead with full launch.  We will make sure the game is as successful as possible due to all the feedback we will gain during Soft Launch before full release and that in turn includes the game being as profitable as possible. We are focusing on quality and gameplay, we get this right, then the rest (profitability) will follow.

We also have plans in place for promotion during the Soft Launch, we will target several areas, more of which we will announce closer to the time.

It is a long journey, we are grateful and thankful for all of your support.  Please make sure to join Discord and we are always happy to listen to feedback.

Augmentors is launching at Comic Con Africa! Community update, 13 July 2018.
Hey guys!

We’re so excited to let you know that we’re going to be at Comic Con Africa in September! It’s the first time Comic Con has come to Africa so it’s also the perfect place to soft-launch our game, don’t you think? Check out all the details below.

COMIC CON AFRICA

From the 14th to the 16th of September, the team behind the Augmentors Game will be at Comic Con Africa, transporting all our visitors to a new realm of mobile gaming.

Visitors will be able to download the game straight from the exhibition booth, as well as from the respective app stores. There will be ongoing battle competitions for those who want to play the game at the booth, with some epic Augmentors swag up for grabs for those who dominate their opponents.


We’ll also be running a number of competitions to giveaway tickets to attend Comic Con Africa (even for Saturday which is already sold-out!). So you’ll need to stay tuned to Discord and Twitter for details on these.

Comic Con Africa is the best place to soft-launch Augmentors, so from the middle of September, Augmentors will be live! While we’ll be soft-launching in South Africa first, and then select countries a few weeks later, you, our awesome community, will be able to play wherever you are in the world! So hold on tight, in just a few weeks you’ll be able to get a sneak peak during Alpha and then in a few short months you’ll be able to get lost in the Bello Realm.

ALPHA IS COMING IN LESS THAN 20 DAYS!

Alpha is just around the corner and we’ll be battling in just less than 20 days. For those who haven’t yet, make sure you sign up and get ready to battle from August 1st.

Alpha will run from August 1st to August 7th, we’ll have a post on all the details on Alpha in our Community Update on the 27th of July — so make sure you keep an eye on our channels for all the juicy details!

To whet your appetite, have a look at this awesome video of some brand-new in-game battle footage!


Augmentors Battle
NEW CREATURE REVEALS

The 5 new creatures that will be available in Alpha are being revealed on Discord in a throwback game of #CreatureHangman! The second new creature, Hydrastia (below), was revealed last week after our community correctly guessed her name. Hydrastia, sorceress from the depths of the Wetlands, came to the aid of the Augmentors once she learnt of Rhule’s return. Her main source of strength comes from her coral reef scepter, allowing her to summon some of the most unique water spells the Bello Realm has ever known.


Hydrastia
The third creature has been unveiled on discord during this week’s #CreatureHangman, if you want to be one of the first to check him out head over to Discord and our dedicated #CreatureHangman channel today. Be sure to check out the weekly game of #CreatureHangman.

Hello Everyone,

Let me try and clear up the little confusion here.  Lets start with the mention of Delays.   Really we have only had delays with the creatures tokens and that is due to the change in platform, no longer will Counterparty be used (as originally planned) for Creatures, but we will now move to ERC 721 token for creatures, so understandably, there is a delay here due to the change in networks, all of which, is coming along nicely, these things do take time and it is of the utmost importance we get everything right before releasing the creature tokens, the security and protection of our investors is of the highest importance and we wont release anything until we know its a secure as possible.

Now there was going to be another testing round in Q2 that we pushed back to the start of Q3 mainly due to the feedback and there is now alternative way, much improved ways we can develop the game.   This is another reason for delays, we work hard daily and sometimes something comes along, that can help us do something is a much better way, either in the graphics department, speed of developments or another reason. We have done work and simply had to scrap it to move to the more advanced way of creating our mobile game.  

We decided, through a lot and i mean a lot of studies that a soft launch approach would be much more beneficial to our game.   Please see here for a good explanation of a Soft Launch.

http://smallbusiness.chron.com/soft-launch-vs-hard-launch-24486.html

Again, this is being done to help make the game as fine tuned and of the highest quality possible before mass release, soft launches are very common in this space these days and will help the finish the final version of the game for Hard Launch.


So, i hope you can all understand the choices we make, we dont make these choices lightly and everything we do is for the best interests of the game, afterall we all want to release and see the best game possible and that is exactly what we strive for, every day here at Augmentors HQ.

So please give us a little leeway as we progres, i think we are doing well considering we are developing a game in new uncharted waters, AR is still in its infancy we have great timing in creating a game of high quality when there is little competition around.

We thank you for your patience and hope to see you all in the Telegram and Discord channels.

PS: Everyone who has signed up for testing, please make sure to check your email from us, there will be little extras for those who have signed up.

Hey Guys!

There has been some discussion in our community channels this past week around our virtual economy, Databits (DTB) and how the in-game currencies will work. In this week’s update I’ll clarify these elements and hopefully answer all your questions.

If you haven’t done so already, please read the Databits Economy Design V2.1 before you continue to give you some background.

https://www.augmentorsgame.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/25052018-DatabitsWhitepaper-v2.1.pdf

We have updated this paper (from V2.0) to reflect the naming convention of the premium in game currency, Emeralds.

Databits (DTB) The Augmentors economy has been designed in such a way to align the interest of the Augmentors business, the backers, the players and all other participants in the network.  

Emeralds is the premium currency in Augmentors, and is locked to DTB at a fixed ratio. Emeralds can be traded into and out of DTB. Augmentors will keep DTB in a reserve to maintain a fixed ratio of 1 DTB to 1000 Emeralds. So as the game gains popularity, the amount of DTB stored in the reserve will continue to grow due to increased number of Emeralds in circulation. This was done because using DTB directly in the game introduced technical, UI and regulatory issues.

Emeralds will be purchased through packs, but players may want to bring DTB directly into the game which they will be able to do. Players will also be able to take their Emeralds out of the game in the form of DTB.

Illustrative example (not indicative of the weighting of packs):

A player buys a $10 USD pack from the in-game store. In this pack, she receives two creatures, five relics, three skins, two spells and $4 USD worth of Emeralds. At the time, one DTB is worth one USD, so she receives 4000 Emeralds. The in-app store automatically transfers four DTB to the DTB reserve to maintain the DTB and Emeralds ratio. Through extensive playing, she gains another 1000 Emeralds. After levelling up one of her creatures, she decides that she wants to sell it and lists it on the auction house.

The creature is deemed valuable because it is rare (one of 100 ever made), and because she is skilled, it has never lost a battle. She sells this creature for 10,000 Emeralds.

She now decides to cash out her Emeralds. She logs onto the website and completes the required KYC and withdraws her 15,000 Emeralds. These are removed from circulation and the proportional amount of DTB — being 15 — is sent to her counterparty enabled wallet. She then decides to sell the 15 DTB on the secondary market and because the game is popular, the price of DTB has risen to $2 USD each. She sells these 15 DTB for $30 USD.

Currencies in the game “Most free to play games these days have opted for a multiple currency model for their economies. This all stems from the initial formula used with early free to play games that featured a dual currency system. One “Soft Currency” that players earn through gameplay and one “Hard Currency” that can only be purchased through an IAP. These days a lot of free to play games have more complex economies than this, but the principle remains the same: your players can play a lot for free and earn the Soft Currency, or trade money for time and acquire the more valuable “Hard” currency to speed up in game progression. This is by far the most popular model for free to play games, especially mobile free to play games.” — Gamesparks We have followed a similar model and will use Emeralds as the “Hard” currency (locked to DTB at a fixed ratio) and Gold as the “Soft” currency.

Emeralds (Premium currency locked to DTB at a fixed ratio) How do you get Emeralds?

Emeralds are the premium currency of Augmentors. Emeralds can be earned by purchasing packs of creatures, relics and other items for fiat (i.e. USD) in the game. Emeralds can also be gained by bringing your DTB into the game and as special rewards when playing.

What can you do with Emeralds?

Emeralds will be the currency used in the Auction House, the in-game marketplace, for creatures, relics and skins.

Emeralds will also be used to immediately open packs in the game and to buy Gold in the store.

The amount of Emeralds a player has accumulated will also reflect on their game profile as prestige, a cosmetic addition. This mechanism can be thought of as a staking mechanism to encourage players to hold Emeralds. This has been done to ensure the game remains fair and gamers cannot pay to win.

Emeralds can also be taken out of the game in exchange for DTB.

Gold How do you get Gold?

Gold is the secondary currency in Augmentors. Gold can be earned from winning matches, opening of packs and by trading for Emeralds.

What can you do with Gold?

Gold can be used to upgrade spells and to play in certain arenas.

I hope this post clarifies the in-game currencies and how Emeralds are locked to DTB. If you have any questions feel free to ask them below or in our social platforms.

Thank you Febo,

Here at Augmentors HQ we are working flat out, its quite incredible the amount of work that goes into a day, all our focus is on ensuring we delivery the best possible experience for the upcoming testing at the start of Q3, which will most likely be our last testing before we go into soft launch in Q4.

As always, we provide a weekly update on our medium blog, this along with the telegram group is the best place to keep up to date and also ask us any questions you may have, they will get our attention and be responded to. 

So please follow: https://medium.com/augmentors

A lot of people have been wondering about the scale of our game, on our website you will see a link to "Places" this gives a brief overview of the regions within the Bello Realm. 

Please see:  https://www.augmentorsgame.com/prologue-places/

Back to developments and everything is running tight to schedule but on time, first impressions last and come soft launch we want to make sure everything is as perfect as can be, we have a very talented Team and very enthusiastic in high spirits, we are all excited and cautious as we are all fully aware of the huge importance of getting things right.   All we ask is the continued support from everyone who follows us and some understanding that developments take time and often work we had done previously has to be re-done when something new and more suitable is released for developing, which has happened on occasion.   Feedback from previous Alpha was really positive and we are continuing to develop  all suggestions. If you have not done so already, please sign up for next Augmentors Game testing here: (please use counterparty wallet address)

https://www.augmentorsgame.com/alpha-signup/

A Big thank you for all the Team.

Hello Everyone,

A Big Update to bring you.  On Thursday we "Ninja Launched" our New and Updated RoadMap.  Please take a look here and share and like if you wish  

https://medium.com/augmentors/augmentors-2018-roadmap-community-update-april-26th-2018-48343aff31f4

https://i.imgur.com/GsvhLtd.png

There are several important updates.   In Q3 Development you will see "Emerald System". Let me explain this further.  Emeralds will be the premium currency in the game, and linked to Databits at a fixed ratio (referred to as Databits Tethers or $DTBT in the whitepaper). Several people have asked "why $DTB can not be used" and quite simply App stores, Apple, Android do not allow Crypto Currency in game, so, as per the white paper V2 we have to create a system where $DTB will still be used (we want it to be the main Token for Augmentors Game) but we need this "Bridge" for the App stores.

• People will be able to convert Emeralds into DTB
• They will want to do this as we will give a nice incentive for using $DTB over money purchases
• The majority of players will get emeralds as part of every pack they purchase

This is all i can mention for now, other than what is in the article above as all the fine details are still being worked out.

[/list]

The second part of the news is that we intend to make the Creature Tokens ERC721 . As you will be aware ERC is Ethereum and $DTB on BCT/Counterparty.   So we are also planning on how to merge the two and it could well be a case of having a token swap on Bittrex that would convert the $DTB into a ERC721 token also so both tokens are fully compatible.

So, as you can see our entire team is hard at work and we really dont stop, it is our pleasure to be working on such a exciting and big Blockchain Game and we intend to delivery the best possible game for mobiles devices.   Every step of the way we are thinking about the community and how we can best serve our community and future gamers with the best mobile, blockchain based game, the landscape is forever evolving and we will move with the times to ensure we have the most up to date foundation and developments on offer.

We are deeply grateful to all those who are with us and we look forward to seeing more come next Alpha testing in early Q3.  Please make sure to sign up on our official website.

Hello Everyone,

What exciting times we live in.  Here at Augmentors HQ we have completed our greatest testing to date, Token Holder Alpha.  Spread over 4 fun filled days, the community members who sign up to our website and help some $DTB were able to participate, nearly all phone were able to try the non AR mode, so they could at least Battle and see all the Big Improvements we have made and others with newer phones were able to try out the AR mode and as we can see from the images above, there were some stunning locations. Some testers were able to live stream footage also drawing more attention to our game and current developments, a BIG THANK YOU to all who took part.

AR is still relatively new technology, the Augmented Reality developments world changes all of the time, thus, we could be working in "one direction" only to have some new tech, that allows us to do things better and take us in another direction.  The road to Full release is not a straight one and there will be times when we will have new ways to development the game, that were previously not possible.    So i hope all here can understand the reasons why developments take the time they do, first impressions last and we intend to make the Best first impression possible and we can proudly say, everything is looking great and coming along, at a rate we are happy with.

Please bookmark and view our weekly updates here: https://medium.com/augmentors

Speaking of "new ways" there is a recent development that is very big news for AR, previously not possible, was the ability to be able to let another user view your surroundings.   Example: Im having a Epic Battle with Vintage.  Vintage happens to be on holidays in Egypt and is standing in front of the Great Pyramids, with this new development in AR i would be able to battle and also see his location/background, in this example we would have a BAttle were the great pyramids were in the background.     With Augmentors Game we will have people worldwide playing, battling. Imagine how amazing it will be to experience the natural surrounds of the other player, this is a very exciting breakthrough.  Please read article here:

#Keepbattling

Hello Drays,  thank you for your questions.

So, firstly, security is of the highest priority, not only do we want to be able to have people trade creature with the lowest fees and fast transaction times, but it also must be safe. We will do everything in our power to make sure the path we chose for creature distribution is the right one, that ticks all the boxes. So this is another reason we are taking a few months longer to weigh up every possible technological advancement to chose the right chain for the creatures. And that chain would have to be one where there was the smallest chance possible of anything going wrong, some flaw/hack that would put our players and customers prizes possessions  at risk.

We have a great team with a strong knowledge of blockchain and blockchain tokens/platforms and projects so what ever we chose i have complete confidence it will be the right choice.

Wow. Thank you Vintage and Roslinpl the Forum Signatures look really Nice.  Really love the Augmentors Logo and the fact all images link back to important Augmentors Game links, like Website, Telegram and even Bittrex $DTB page!  Fantastic work!

I will have to post more to build up my little ranking to also be able to wear the signature with Pride! Will try and remember to also include these in Fridays update.    Also, we are aware that it will be nearly one year since the end of our successful ICO and plan to have a little something extra for all our loyal supporters so stay tuned.

Hello Bitcoin Talk Community,

This weeks, weekly update is ready and has important information about the creature token swap.

https://medium.com/augmentors/augmentors-creature-tokens-creature-swap-community-update-february-16-2018-3f550532cfd9

The landscape is changing and changing fast, we can see that the counterparty chain is not best suited to our need so we will be making the change from XCP chain for Creature token distribution to the Ethereum ERC token  (we have yet to make final decision on which ERC token we will use).

By changing over to ETH ERC we can easily distribute and creature tokens easily, saving time and money compared to xcp/btc chain.   We need the use the best suited chain and the evolution of ERC tokens is the perfect answer.   Due to this, there will be a delay while we make the transition.   

There are several good articles online about ERC tokens, one i found to have a good, clear explanation of ERC is:  https://medium.com/wepower/erc-standards-to-move-ethereum-forward-erc-20-erc-223-erc-721-e1712456449d

Please leave comments below and on medium we always read and take them on board and mention the best ideas in our board meetings.

Hello Bitcoin Talk members.

As Vintage pointed out above, please follow our Medium Blog, it is where we post our weekly updates along with telegram and you can find the link to these and more on our twitter and Reddit page.

This week we introduce a new member to our growing Team.   

Welcome Marianna
I’d like to introduce you all to our newest team member, Marianna! Marianna is a marketer by trade (backed by a Marketing degree) who joins us all the way from Greece. She will support Augmentors in community management and growth (along with our crypto community liaison Simon, aka Vintage Bazaar), and a host of other marketing areas. She’s worked in numerous countries and industries, including gaming (of course), and is fluent in English, Italian and Greek so feel free to chat to her on Telegram in any of these languages. She is also learning Japanese and knows how tough it is! Her motto is 悔しい (Kuyashii — use the words of doubters as energy to succeed or simply prove them wrong). The reason why you haven’t seen her on our Augmentors Team page yet is because she still needs to choose her favourite Augmentor to join her on screen. If you have any suggestions do let her know.

We do have all areas covered and we will do have a ongoing marketing strategy that is going to gather pace as we get closer to full game launch, so please bear with us, we are in good hands and  we want to make sure all efforts and time spent on marketing and developing the game are used in the best possible way.  Everything we do, we do with a future vision and great thought about how it will impact the full game release and also going forward.

Please continue to read the update here on our Medium Blog.
