Last bump, the game is now available for Windows. I’m also looking for designers who are familiar with classic roguelikes and bitcoin.

Friendly bump, taking more work.

A New project has been added to my portfolio.

Thanks! Still have open spots.

Well I’m definitely your guy if you need someone in tech who comes with industry connections. Hit me up on Telegram @vt1000 if anything.

Friendly bump, still have two time slots open to development and consulting services.

Friendly bump, just wanted to say that I am looking for ICO partners for a game token.  People who also know the space, can post photos and participate in social media etc.

Yes I do all the development myself, full-stack typically. And when referring to games this includes writing the game engine, documentation etc.  I’m offering brokerage services as a secondary to be clear. I am primarily a software developer.

Hey Bitcointalk,

I work days, nights, weekends and holidays without exception. Former full-time Internet marketing specialist having raised over $152k in crowdfunding with an additional $1M in deals throughout my time as an Internet asset broker.  My career began in 2011 as a technical journalist and podcast host. I have been a professional desktop software and and game engine developer for over 8 years. I am now looking to expand my own personal network and take on additional clientele on a case-by-case basis.  

What I’m offering is consulting and development services regarding blockchain-based desktop games, plugins, web applications and mobile apps.

For brokerage services I typically take a ($100) BTC retainer with about 5% off the target price of the asset you want to list with me.  I then utilize the resources of a brokerage firm I own as well as my own connections to find a buyer.  Your listing may be shown across several external platforms like Flippa (where we have 100% feedback and thiusands in sales) or other private brokers. Any listing fees are typically subtracted from the retainer and is 10% refundable should I not find a buyer/seller in 30 days.

Development services vary. My personal portfolio can be provided upon request and jobs can be received either directly or via Upwork or your preferred method. Partial payment is also always requested up front and jobs can take anywhere from one week to prototype to 2 months to complete. Although the average is somewhere in between depending in the stack.

Feel free to contact me via vt1000 on Telegram or Doop(#3322) on Discord.

Looking forward to working with you.

Thanks a lot!


I suppose my long term goal is to make the blockchain aspect a feature and not the purpose.  To be honest I didn’t really want to emphasize that part much at all but the overall market environment makes new MMOs grasp at straws in order to find a real place and most importantly, an audience. Who for me at the moment is Linux users.

I also realized that I completely goofed in my pitch here.  Another aspect of that game that I think serves the crypto community is the engines focus on anonymity. There is no email required to register and all chat logs are kept and left on the wire. As in, they are sent, relayed and received but not saved locally or otherwise. And the reason for this is because I’m just one guy with no business storing that stuff in the first place. I plan to add some kind of 2-factor as well as allowing people to opt-in to email registration in order to receive perks. But we’ll see. Thanks for the merit friend!

In terms of crowdfunding, I’m a bit hesitant only because I only need to raise around $1400 for a reskin since I don’t plan on paying myself. And despite roguelikes being fairly popular as far as small niches go the overall market is taken up by larger players making it a bit harder for small scope mmos especially in the scifi genre.  Signups are growing but the broader the appeal I think the better. And given the size, I think mobile would be an excellent fit over the long term.

The project in question is a minimalist science fiction game called Apsis Online that has been in development for about four years.  Having recently released both V1 and V2 as a classic roguelike for Linux, this is just an extended prototype.

My goal is to port this over to mobile with a graphical skin and allow players to mine resources in-game in exchange for the games native currency. Which can then be converted to Bitcoin. The platform that the game runs on is a derivative of a small command-line social network and crypto exchange and interactive bitcoin wallet that I’ve kept to myself mostly due to lack of time since finishing.

My biggest roadblock at current is financing servers and contracting out some 2D art for the mobile port. The vast majority of the technical work is done so at this point hoping to raise some cash and bring on a few people for the long haul. There is a potential for an ICO based on the default in-game currency but it may be unnecessary.  Monetization opportunities range from selling ad space within the forum (also baked into the engine) to establishing a premium storefront to allowing crypto trading as a feature.

If you’d like to talk feel free to get in touch via vt1000 on Telegram.  I personally have about 7 years experience in the games industry and have run a few major crypto projects up until late last year. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

The project in question is a minimalist science fiction game called Apsis Online that has been in development for about four years.  Having recently released both V1 and V2 as a classic roguelike, this is just an extended prototype. My goal is to port this over to mobile with a graphical skin and allow players to mine resources in-game in exchange for the games native currency. Which can then be converted to Bitcoin.

My previous blockchain business was sold off and I was eager to return to this as I saw a lot of upside in what the engine could do.  A derivative of a small command-line social network and crypto exchange, this project was built on the same tech.

My biggest roadblock at current is financing servers and contracting out some 2D art for the mobile port. The vast majority of the technical work is done so at this point hoping to raise about $1400 and gain a long term partner.  There is a potential for an ICO based on the default in-game currency but it may be unnecessary.  Monetization opportunities range from selling ad space within the forum (also baked into the engine) to establishing a premium storefront to allowing crypto trading as a feature.

Some issues with centering I’ve found. Maybe I did it wrong, otherwise nice work still. This is really coming together.

Correction: $100/mo in profit. $1000/mo revenue. Typos happens when you’re stressed! Operating costs typically exceed revenues due to the high cost of art contactors primarily.  This is optional to a buyer but recommended to some degree in order to keep the project fresh for new audiences.

Price adjusted to lower the cost of entry for a potential buyer. BTC 0.19

Price is down to $700 to lower the barrier if entry for a a potential buyer. Thread will be closed in 12 hours.

You’ll need to message me or leave me a way to contact you here.

Followed up.


You’re right and I appreciate that. Yeah it’s inevitably going to be a bit one-sided verification wise as most people here do wish to remain anonymous. Which I respect but the project in question isn’t obscure and I’m pretty open about who I am as well upon contact.  So I don’t even entertain folks who are more interested in playing crypto games and less interested in actually doing a deal.

Followed up! Still selling

Sent, thanks!
