I'm glad to be able to fulfill the need for proper 3D Game Development within the community. Discord links are available on the website although unfortunately I do not have much time to discuss such things with members.

The Public Alpha and Beta will be playable via direct download and requires no invitation.

It's not about income generation, it's about stability and security and adhering to the legislature around such things. Yes this is a business and yes it has to make money through fee's and we do give a significant portion back to the free play pool, but st the end of the day if all of this is not secured, it will be a waste of time.

So through organic growth initially and registrations for Closed Alpha and Beta testing, we will be able to take a much better stance on security as issues would be very isolated.
This statement also rings true for ERC-20 tokens which when utilising with my particular system, is insecure.

Glad to hear you're excited.


Thank you for your input, I am glad to hear that you like the graphics and overall idea of the game.
As for your concerns regarding Battle Royale, 1000 players is the maximum amount of players each instance of a server can contain, the modular system when completed, will mean that players can create games from 2-250 players (intially, subject to change), 1000 players is for events and very large maps.

Thank you for your respect regarding my wishes.
Here is an image of the last count to validate any further concerns.

In regards to asking for Bitcoin, we do not ask for Donations or Investments and the plans for the investment system were removed. The Closed Alpha will launch in 4 days to which the 42 registrants can play for free with the provided Credits and the Public Alpha is yet to be announced.

Thank you for your input, this has been a long project in development and yes, it is 100% skill based with no randomness involved. I see you have noticed the world entities counter in the Administrator panel, these counters are counting all module aspects, including Dark Anarchy and Lost Armada, bot's may refer to Training Bots, Trading Bots and other non-combatant bots.


This is a false oversimplification of our work done, almost all assets (apart from the initial characters and lobby map, which are to be replaced) are custom made and have cost me a significant amount of time, money and effort to complete. The video shows implementation of Bitcoin and LiteCoin, but due to being hosted locally, it wasn't connected. There is over 106,000 lines of code in the last count and I have been programming this since the beginning, so I respectfully request that you not compare our months of work to "a basic 3D environment".  We do use Unity Engine as our engine and that is simply because of the professionalism and source code available for learning the core.

For the time being, I am posting some unedited footage from testing today, as a professional trailer will take quite some time.

Closed Alpha Registrations are over and I will notify people of the Public Alpha Test.

Unedited Test Footage

That's the aim, players who would otherwise be throwing their time at mobile advertisements, can instead benefit financially from their time at little/no cost.


The Public Alpha will be posted here for users to download, the closed alpha can be downloaded and joined through discord once the bot announces it.

The game will only be available on Windows initially.

Registrations will usually be online however for the Closed Alpha, after running the -register command in Discord, then you can -link it and login.

I'll try record some footage, upload later today and edit the first post.
It's usually a large process due to the size of the project.

It's just a courtesy message, I'll remove it later when I update the post.

The official websites are https://btcwars.io and https://bitcoinwars.io

The game itself is more of a lobby, where I will add minigames (such as darts and chess) until you play a game module which you have lobbied up to (unless that lobby has not wait time)

When Closed Alpha testing have begun and the registrations have closed, a demo client will be provided by our Bot within the Discord.

Thank you for your interest.

You are correct, Normally it is a lot of strain to put on a server, however our lobby system is somewhat unorthodox to cater to these issues. The way this is currently designed, is 1000 connections per instance, each instance being either a lobby or game that has commenced.
Key phrase of that sentence however, is "up to 1000".

Investment System is simply to give back to the community.


Wagers in Closed Alpha will range from 10,000 to 100,000 Satoshis per person.

The calculations are as follows:
Fee = 5% of Player Wager
1% of the Fee returns to a Free Play Pool
Reward = Amount of Players multiplied by Wager minus Fee multiplied by Players


I'll see if I can get some time spare to record some footage but as it stands, I am as busy as I can be.

In regards to how you will earn Bitcoin in Battle Royale in free play, the idea of BR FP mode is more for practice, but I'll see what I can do

For clarity sake, there is also https://btcwars.io

There are Free to Play sections where you can play with Credits (Bound In-Game Currency 1:1 Satoshis) instead of Jewels (In-Game Currency 1:1 Satoshis) for practice, or other Free to Play sections where you can loot Satoshis funded by players who wager Jewels in Pay to Play sections.

There is no randomness used, no features or gears where you can gain an advantage over other players and nothing that makes it a game of chance.

An investment system is yet to be established.

Thanks, I have taken note.


I understand the ramifications of incentives and the server would distribute said incentives based on profit and such, obviously offering a 1:1 referral would be a bad idea, hence why we also use Bound Currency, a free currency.

Regarding investments, this is why I track everything. In order to comply with tax law, I am required to keep track of all Transactions, in and out. The game will be released under my Game Development Studio, all Investments are purchases of profit shares and not equity in the game or company.

I work within the proper policies, protocols and procedures under all relevant legislation that may apply.

I'll disclose some partial details;
#1: Altcoins have been considered like LiteCoin and Daah but not right away since it takes time to integrate, might not do it at all if it affects me here.
#2: Essentially the game is a "game of games", where I will continuously add every possible game-style over time, the first game hasn't been done before. I am trying to keep minimal details for the time being.
#3: All will balanced games but essentially the goal is to intoduce multiple different games. I will focus on Games of Skill as well, an example of this would be a player sitting down with another player, agreeing to a wager and playing a game of chess.

You could compare this to Satoshi Battles, in the way that it will require a client and such.

Registration is not required, I have implemented a Guest Mode which allows players to join in and earn straight away.
Deposits and Chat is disabled for Guest Accounts, but Withdraw function will be allowed for Guests so that they may withdraw whatever they earn.

BTC isn't required as there will be free to play games where you can earn Bitcoin from looting, or play with bound currency.
Incentives may be in the form of Bound Currency for Free Play, Bitcoin from Referrals, Cosmetics etc etc

The investment area, would be an extension of the investment system for the Browser, players can invest in the game or in through the browser if they wish to gain shares.

When I am further along with development, I will showcase some examples.
I am currently working on the API, UI, Autopatch, Investment System amongst other features that will be needed before release.

Thank you for all this information, it is very helpful.
Regarding #1, is it fine to post there if it's possible to win Bitcoin via PvP and whatnot, or what that be considered Gambling?

For clarification, no ICO or anything, just a game, however there will be incentives offered.

Greetings

I have recently been working on a project that incorporates the usage of Bitcoin for the economy. In short, it is a game. I do not wish to divulge too much information, however upon completion, I will most likely post it here for people to view or play. It is both free and premium.

My questions are straightforward;
#1: Which is an appropriate section to post this in?
#2: Where can I find rules about posting said game? If there are any specific rules
#3: The website will contain an investment section, what are the rules regarding promiting the site or investment area directly?
And is an investment thread permitted?
#4: Are the any rules regarding Post Size, Image height, Videos etc etc that I should be aware of?

Oh I didn't notice, I'm on a mobile device so I was focused on quoting and cutting and pasting my responses.

Alright awesome, thanks.

Good thing too as I have worked on a previous project under this name and so maybe some people may recognise me by it.

It was just the first thing that came to mind when creating API for Bitcoin, due to x being unknown and the common phrase "we are all Satoshi", I thought xSatoshi was good for a generic name.


Oh ok, thanks.
So it's your opinion that out of respect for the creator, that I should change it?

Oh dear, I did not notice there was another similar account.
Is there a way I can change my username or would I have to re-register?

This made me laugh so hard haha


And I am always quick to correct those who call me Satoshi, I always write xSatoshi* followed by the explanation.
It's getting tiresome though haha

Unfortunately, it's looking like I might have to change it?
I guess the only thing I can/should do, is contact them directly and see what they think.
I wouldn't want to join the community, get settled, only to be banned for the name

How do I contact a mod or admin?

Thanks, I didn't know I could move it nor did I really know the appropriate section.

Yes, that is what I don't want, I didn't even think to consider x->ex

I guess we'll see what people think, I don't know if bypassing the filter is against the rules either.

The exact error message was something along the lines of
"The username Satoshi is reserved."
Or very similar
How do I go about requesting that feedback?

This topic has been moved to Meta.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5255026.0

That's fine. I have noticed a new development team and I am glad to see improvements.
I hope you this partnership with GAME will bring you further opportunities.
