Title: [ANN] [PRSC] Parsec Frontiers – a virtual galaxy MMO blockchain

Blockchain is ready for primetime use from experienced game development studios:
We are pleased to announce the creation of a revolutionary MMO, featuring a complex virtual economy blockchain with tradable assets.

https://i.imgur.com/ZiqYV2E.png (https://wp.parsecfrontiers.com/whitepaper.pdf)

Parsec Frontier (https://parsecfrontiers.com)s is an online game about humanity’s colonization of the stars and planets in the Milky Way. Starting from Earth, the actions of all players will shape the future of our galaxy. With a persistent game universe and a continually evolving timeline the race is on to explore, expand and exploit the riches to be found in other star systems. A fully player-driven economy blockchain will allow players to mine and refine rare metals, build advanced starships and defense systems, and buy and trade resources for profit on the planetary exchanges. Everything is tradeable, anything is possible!

The in-game currency will be Parsec Credits [PRSC], a utility token for access to the MMO ecosystem. Since it's an ERC20 token, cryptocurrency exchanges may also choose to list the token for trading vs fiat or ETH, BTC etc. The link between "real money" and PRSC lowers the threshold for investing in the Parsec Frontiers virtual economy, knowing that all players can cash out their in-game assets for BTC/ETH or fiat at any time.

All transactions involving items, resources and player spaceships in the game will be stored on a decentralized ledger. This enables advanced analysis of the economy to gain an information advantage – creating opportunities for machine learning and data mining techniques. It also serves to verify resources and player items in the total economy, enhancing gameplay and the intrinsic value of the virtual assets. The in-game economy becomes “real” and your in-game actions will have real-world financial consequences.


The project is developed by Artplant (http://artplant.no) – an established Norwegian/Russian game developer focused on creating advanced online games. Artplant has seen more than 25 million people play its games, and has previously created big hits such as Block N Load (https://www.blocknload.com/) and Battlestar Galactica Online (https://en.bsgo.com/). It was founded in 2001 by developers with their roots in 90s console development, and shifted its focus to massive multiplayer online games in 2010.

Parsec Frontiers' developers have a genuine passion for games, and a track record of game development going back to the early days of the demo scene.

Parsec Frontiers is currently under development at Artplant's studios in Oslo, Norway and Tver, Russia. The backend uses Artplant’s advanced Erlang MMO server technology, expanded to support the Parsec Frontier blockchain. The server tech has been used in multiple games supporting tens of millions of players over seven years - when first used it worked with millions of players flawlessly for six months before going down for planned maintenance.

Complete team bios are found in the whitepaper (https://wp.parsecfrontiers.com/whitepaper.pdf).


The game client is made with Unity for HTML5, allowing the game to be played across all major operating systems and devices. This means you'll also be able to play on your mobile, or with browsers on Linux.

Unity has become the de facto development platform for tens of thousands of game developers across the world. Artplant has worked closely with Unity Technologies since its early days, creating some of the first GDC tech demos showcasing its powerful development environment.


To successfully store all assets and ownership information on a blockchain for an MMO is a highly demanding use case with several challenging requirements:

  • Enabling the project to issue own in-game digital assets
  • Support for smart contract programming and execution
  • The technology must scale to support millions of transactions per day
  • Most of the game’s blockchain transactions should be processed without incurring fees paid in a 3rd party token
  • Fast (seconds) transaction validation/confirmation
  • The technology should support pruning/checkpointing
  • Ease of organizing and executing crowd sale process
  • Simple token trading integration for exchanges

An MMO with high throughput transaction requirements for thousands of individual digital assets based on separate smart contracts will for cost, speed, capacity and storage reasons not be kept on the mainnet of current public blockchain platforms.

Parsec Frontiers plans to use a dual token structure with an open, public custom blockchain with permissioned elements inside of the game bridging to an Ethereum ERC20-token controlled by smart contracts on both blockchains. This enables easier access to trading exchanges and enhances liquidity for all stakeholders of the virtual economy, as well as allowing the project to process transactions without incurring mainnet transaction costs.

PRSC tokens represents the main means of payment in Parsec Frontiers. With seamless transfer between in-game and the Ethereum blockchain, the player has total control and ability to trade PRSC against other cryptocurrency pairs on real-life exchanges.

The game client will contribute a front-end interface to facilitate the dual token swap transactions. The Ethereum fee for transfers out of the smart contract will be payable in PRSC custom chain tokens and can be player-adjusted per desired transaction priority.

All in-game tradeable assets and resources, such as raw materials, alloys, crafted objects etc., will exist on the blockchain to enable total transparency in circulation and transactions taking place. Trading between all in-game assets will be facilitated on decentralized exchanges, keeping all trade fully transparent and trustless.


We are asking everyone in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency community to help us fund an extremely advanced use case for blockchain technology. Our goal is to enable distributed storage of in-game assets for hundreds of thousands of simultaneous players, with millions of transactions per day. By doing this we will prove that open and public blockchains can be used for extremely demanding use cases such as an MMO.

Crowd sale and pre-sale details will be announced on December 11th in this thread. The pre-sale will take place from Jan 24th with a crowd-sale planned for April 2018. These will be the only opportunities to acquire Parsec Credits directly. Afterwards, the tokens may be acquired from exchanges.

A parsec (from parallax second) is a unit of astronomical distance. It is commonly used by astronomers, even though the general population mostly talk of light years to measure distance in space. One parsec is 3,08567758 x 10^16 meters, and the number of Parsec Credits created in our TGE will be 30.856.775.800 followed by six decimals.


The Parsec Credits purchased during the crowd sale will initially enable you to purchase spaceships and other early assets which provides profit opportunities within the game as it launches.

The meta-game will start with a new spaceship manufactured every day, which will be put up for auction to holders of PRSC. Every player will need a spaceship to play the game, and initially there will only be a limited number of pre-manufactured spaceships. Additional spaceships must then be manufactured by the players in the game after launch, using resources extracted from around the galaxy.

Parsec Credits can also be used to acquire development project colony sites on the initial 17 inhabitable planets in the galaxy.


The Parsec Frontiers Foundation will manage the proceeds from the pre-sale and crowd sale. It is to be established for the sole purpose of overseeing the continuous development and successful operations of the game. The foundation will be incorporated in Switzerland.




1,542,838,790 PRSC (5% of the total pre-burn supply) is allocated for bounty programs. This includes affiliate bounty, marketing bounty as well as a community bounty.

We have created a generous bounty campaign for the community, with 400 million (1.296%) of the total Parsec Credits allocated to reward community contributions leading up to the pre-sale. Note that all reserved tokens will be shared among the bounty campaign participants without exceptions.

Link to the official Parsec Frontiers pre-sale bounty campaign thread. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2518798.0)

The pre-sale bounty campaign ends on January 31st 2018.

There will be a separate bounty campaign leading up to the crowd sale, and if you participate in this pre-sale bounty campaign you can also participate in the crowd sale bounty campaign currently planned for March 1st until April 30th to earn additional Parsec Credits.

Please note that both pre-sale and bounty tokens will be distributed simultaneously with the tokens sold in the crowd sale. This will ensure fair trading on an equal footing amongst all participants in the sales.


We ask the community to help us shape, market and fund the game, and participate in its creation during development. We ask interested parties to read our whitepaper, offer feedback and suggestions for how to improve and iterate forward. We ask those of you interested in backing the project financially to participate in our forthcoming pre-sale by first registering on our whitelist. If you do not have the financial means to contribute funding, please consider joining our bounty campaign and help raise the project's awareness - we are grateful for all assistance you can offer. The future of our galaxy and the fate of the human race may depend upon it.

That reminds me of the infamous Chris Boberts and his not yet finished pay2winfest micro-transactional crap (I forgot me the name). Unlike Freelancer, IW2: Edge of Chaos, the X Series or Tachyon such kind of games usually ends up in the same basket along with 'survival' ARK and other boring stuff.

Good stuff, I have played Battle star galactica and it's a good game, but I don't like the kinds of games that are pay to win, when you could pay money to upgrade your space ships and have the best weapon and ammo, you'll get to rule the game, I might be a lowlife beggar with no dignity, but I'm not any body's bitch. lol. I like to play in the browser, if I can't do that, I wont invest on this game. I'm also a dev myself, not this kind of dev though.

Hi, Digaran!

The game is planned to be developed in HTML5/Unity so both browsers and most modern smartphones should be good for playing the game.

With a game based on cryptostandards to build the economy you’ll also be able to earn money in the game through clever exploration, mining, trading and exploiting space to your advantage.

Join the discussions on the game specifics in the Discord channel as we move forward!

Hi, Martincic!

The studio have built quite a lot of games over the past 16 years, including Battlestar Galactica for BigPoint, so there is a lot of experience and learnings we’re bringing with us to Parsec Frontiers.

This game is all about mankinds exploration and early colonization of the galaxy, with Earth being close to uninhabitable at the start of the game. With a consistent timeline and a clear focus on exploration, research, mining and trading the game has a much more strategic element than the more dogfigthing type games like “Elite Dangerous” and the classic “X-Wing vs TIE Fighter”.

We hope you join the discussions on the game once we ramp up those on the Discord channel.

The team is proven by creating games with millions of players many times over, but a success is never guaranteed when it comes to games.

Unlike other games with cryptocurrencies, all assets will be accounted for on the distributed ledger - which brings confidence in the economy. So, you don't have to trust that the developer will not create inflation by changing drop rates or how objects are appearing.

Combining asset transparency with the fact that money can easily enter and exit the virtual economy, and you are starting to see the outline of a completely new type of real-money skill-based game where you can actually earn a profit by playing the game if you're better than others that are playing.

Or, you can view the economy as a perfect target for trading/investing/speculation: If you're carefully watching the prices of, say, iron ore on the exchanges, you can decide that you want to make a sizeable bet on iron ore to rise - you can purchase Parsec Credits and buy iron ore on exchanges - much like you would buy (or short) a stock. So: assets inside virtual economies becomes a new asset class on its own. Much like cryptocurrency now has become a completely new asset class for fund managers.

This is all part of our vision for making a game with a deep, complex, player-controlled virtual economy - using blockchain to establish transparency and trust in the economy itself instead of trust in the game developer alone.

Haha. I'm pretty sure airdrop mostly attracts speculators and those who don't want to do anything. The best move is good advertisement.
I would recommend the team to develop at least a demo of the game so that people could try it before investing. Even so, there was a project that collected money with demo of their game and run away.
Good luck anyways.

I think this project will be conquer.
I love to play game from childhood.
So that's obviously interesting project for me .
When the game will be release?
The game has a gradual rollout of modules: There will be auctions and trading of spaceships and mining rights from early summer 2018, but December 2018 is when travelling and exploration will be made available. Extraction of resources is scheduled for Februar 2019, crafting and production in May 2019 with December 2019 seeing the launch of PvP combat.

Another virtual reality game, are you sure you're on the right track? With so many RPG games in the internet what makes your games different from all of them? Well of course aside from your game that incorporates with crypto and blockchain, is there anything else that makes you game differ from all those games?

What are the advantages of the project compared to other ICOs?
As you may know, the server backend for MMOs with "a lot" of players is very demanding - which is why MMOs often go down when they launch or in other ways experience server problems. Artplant's server technology for Battlestar Galactica Online initiated in development in 2010, and when BGO launched the server worked flawlessly for 6 months before a planned maintenance break. That is pretty stellar in the MMO world.

The project concept was finished in June 2017, and since then we have been working on detailing the project, assembling the team, building partnerships and starting with the blockchain technology architecture. It is still early stage, this Pre-Sale is the absolutely first round of funding for the project.

Advantages of this project vs other ICOs:
Great question. First of all, most game related projects are trying to be a platform in one way or another. This is an appeal to the traditional VC/fund way of thinking - a business that scales. However, the fact that blockchain games/worlds are in nature decentralised and "owned" by the token holders instead of companies trying to profit, means that such a project has every incentive to develop its own technology and not make someone else rich unless the project absolutely need the solution. So, instead of platforms it is better to invest in Decentraland, Parsec Frontiers and others that form the front lines of blockchain gaming.

As in the real world - money is backed by an economy. Cross-world tokens makes no sense, as you could just as well use a mainstream cryptocurrency instead. Instead, each game or virtual world will have its own token. And joining a project means that you will have to evaluate the project on its own merits.

Parsec Frontiers is a project with grand ambitions. We are building a copy of the Milky Way, gamified with exploration, resource extraction, combat and empire building. All assets are on a blockchain, fully verifiable - which means the economy will have the confidence of all players. This transparency makes it easier to form an opinion on what resources are over- or undervalued. And connecting the token with exchanges makes it easy to move money in and out of the virtual world.

Blockchain-based virtual worlds and gaming worlds will become a HUGE part of the blockchain future. When everyone is FUDing about cryptocurrencies not having any real value or function - that is where a blockchain-based game is completely different. Inside of the world both assets and tokens have a real value and provides advantages and ownership in a way that all participants of that world will place a value on. The value will of course be up to the players/participants to decide - in a free, open and transparent market.

Parsec Frontiers is not going to have a free-to-play model like you normally find on mobile games. Even though you also can play on mobile, it is better suited for desktop/laptop machines - and will run on both Windows, Mac and Linux machines in addition to mobile since it is browser-based.

So, like a premium game, you will need to spend some money to buy a spaceship and get started. The prices of spaceships will be determined by the community's supply and demand. If you know someone else who's playing then you can ask them to create a spaceship for you.

You will be able to work within the game, by doing missions/contracts where other players pay you to do tasks they don't have time or capacity to do themselves.

You can also make money by playing a lot, and by being good at timing your transactions. Also, if you are able to identify profitable trading opportunities you can also make a profit by trading.

So, many opportunities will be available to everyone playing - vast opportunities in a vast galaxy :)

there are a lot of projects about gaming like gimli or evoplay. And they are not succesful. Do you think that this project will became succesful

I think this project is very different - this is not a platform, but a virtual galaxy blockchain. So, in a sense - a standalone game.

With Parsec Frontiers we are building a complex virtual economy of trading which is already a proven game concept that already has tons of fans all over the world. Do we need one more project like this? Well, that is where blockchain makes all the difference. This economy will be trustless - no gaming company to fudge the rules or create inflation of assets. A completely player-controlled economy where players set prices and creates the market themselves.

It's going to be a very hot space in 2018. You'd need to separate between the platform plays and the games/worlds themselves, with there seeming to be more of the first than the latter. If you look at the market cap of for instance Beyond the Void, which has been consistently between 12m and 25m USD for a very long time now, you should be ok if the market cap is not too high of the project.

I don't think it will be fully running on the blockchain, but it will use blockchain(s) for it's galaxy wide economy. In-game assets like spaceships etc will be fully yours on the blockchain.

Hi guys,
you have an interesting idea. I have a question of promoting the project. I was not found information about marketing strategy in White Paper. In my opinion, this is a very important thing for the gaming industry. Now there are a lot of gaming products, it is a good marketing makes half of success.
Thank you

I've just finished reading through your Bitcointalk forum. Before I start with you Whitepaper, I had a question...

We all have to sleep. How will the game protect my character when I'm sleeping, so I don't get assassinated by a gamer half-way around the world in an inter-solar assault ship?

Additionally, I'm sure there are moments where someone cannot exit the game right? Like during the middle of a quest or something... Or even more crucial to the virtual economy, during a time where I'm moving iron ore through space right? How are you dealing with these issues in development?

More questions. I'm researching Jack Kristoffersen—the CEO of Artplant—and I see his LinkedIn Profile mentions the following:
(https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-kristoffersen-5b83181)

Quote
Currently we are working on:
Game of Thrones MMORPG for Bigpoint and HBO
http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/790/feature/6167

What happened to the Game of Thrones MMORPG project? It looks like it was stopped or abandoned years ago. By whom? I've worked at HBO for over 3 years. Not the department that would deal with branded game development, but I can ask around... How you answer this is extremely important to earning my trust.

Your project is beyond ambitious. It reminds me of Peter Molyneux. What's to prevent this project from exhausting its funds and never getting completed?

Thanks for your responses thus far!

Blockchain is ready for primetime use from experienced game development studios:
We are pleased to announce the creation of a revolutionary MMO, featuring a complex virtual economy blockchain with tradable assets.

https://i.imgur.com/ZiqYV2E.png (https://wp.parsecfrontiers.com/whitepaper.pdf)

Parsec Frontier (https://parsecfrontiers.com)s is an online game about humanity’s colonization of the stars and planets in the Milky Way. Starting from Earth, the actions of all players will shape the future of our galaxy. With a persistent game universe and a continually evolving timeline the race is on to explore, expand and exploit the riches to be found in other star systems. A fully player-driven economy blockchain will allow players to mine and refine rare metals, build advanced starships and defense systems, and buy and trade resources for profit on the planetary exchanges. Everything is tradeable, anything is possible!

The in-game currency will be Parsec Credits [PRSC], a utility token for access to the MMO ecosystem. Since it's an ERC20 token, cryptocurrency exchanges may also choose to list the token for trading vs fiat or ETH, BTC etc. The link between "real money" and PRSC lowers the threshold for investing in the Parsec Frontiers virtual economy, knowing that all players can cash out their in-game assets for BTC/ETH or fiat at any time.

All transactions involving items, resources and player spaceships in the game will be stored on a decentralized ledger. This enables advanced analysis of the economy to gain an information advantage – creating opportunities for machine learning and data mining techniques. It also serves to verify resources and player items in the total economy, enhancing gameplay and the intrinsic value of the virtual assets. The in-game economy becomes “real” and your in-game actions will have real-world financial consequences.


The project is developed by Artplant (http://artplant.no) – an established Norwegian/Russian game developer focused on creating advanced online games. Artplant has seen more than 25 million people play its games, and has previously created big hits such as Block N Load (https://www.blocknload.com/) and Battlestar Galactica Online (https://en.bsgo.com/). It was founded in 2001 by developers with their roots in 90s console development, and shifted its focus to massive multiplayer online games in 2010.

Parsec Frontiers' developers have a genuine passion for games, and a track record of game development going back to the early days of the demo scene.

Parsec Frontiers is currently under development at Artplant's studios in Oslo, Norway and Tver, Russia. The backend uses Artplant’s advanced Erlang MMO server technology, expanded to support the Parsec Frontier blockchain. The server tech has been used in multiple games supporting tens of millions of players over seven years - when first used it worked with millions of players flawlessly for six months before going down for planned maintenance.

Complete team bios are found in the whitepaper (https://wp.parsecfrontiers.com/whitepaper.pdf).


The game client is made with Unity for HTML5, allowing the game to be played across all major operating systems and devices. This means you'll also be able to play on your mobile, or with browsers on Linux.

Unity has become the de facto development platform for tens of thousands of game developers across the world. Artplant has worked closely with Unity Technologies since its early days, creating some of the first GDC tech demos showcasing its powerful development environment.


To successfully store all assets and ownership information on a blockchain for an MMO is a highly demanding use case with several challenging requirements:

  • Enabling the project to issue own in-game digital assets
  • Support for smart contract programming and execution
  • The technology must scale to support millions of transactions per day
  • Most of the game’s blockchain transactions should be processed without incurring fees paid in a 3rd party token
  • Fast (seconds) transaction validation/confirmation
  • The technology should support pruning/checkpointing
  • Ease of organizing and executing crowd sale process
  • Simple token trading integration for exchanges

An MMO with high throughput transaction requirements for thousands of individual digital assets based on separate smart contracts will for cost, speed, capacity and storage reasons not be kept on the mainnet of current public blockchain platforms.

Parsec Frontiers plans to use a dual token structure with an open, public custom blockchain with permissioned elements inside of the game bridging to an Ethereum ERC20-token controlled by smart contracts on both blockchains. This enables easier access to trading exchanges and enhances liquidity for all stakeholders of the virtual economy, as well as allowing the project to process transactions without incurring mainnet transaction costs.

PRSC tokens represents the main means of payment in Parsec Frontiers. With seamless transfer between in-game and the Ethereum blockchain, the player has total control and ability to trade PRSC against other cryptocurrency pairs on real-life exchanges.

The game client will contribute a front-end interface to facilitate the dual token swap transactions. The Ethereum fee for transfers out of the smart contract will be payable in PRSC custom chain tokens and can be player-adjusted per desired transaction priority.

All in-game tradeable assets and resources, such as raw materials, alloys, crafted objects etc., will exist on the blockchain to enable total transparency in circulation and transactions taking place. Trading between all in-game assets will be facilitated on decentralized exchanges, keeping all trade fully transparent and trustless.


We are asking everyone in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency community to help us fund an extremely advanced use case for blockchain technology. Our goal is to enable distributed storage of in-game assets for hundreds of thousands of simultaneous players, with millions of transactions per day. By doing this we will prove that open and public blockchains can be used for extremely demanding use cases such as an MMO.

Crowd sale and pre-sale details will be announced on December 11th in this thread. The pre-sale will take place from Jan 24th with a crowd-sale planned for April 2018. These will be the only opportunities to acquire Parsec Credits directly. Afterwards, the tokens may be acquired from exchanges.

A parsec (from parallax second) is a unit of astronomical distance. It is commonly used by astronomers, even though the general population mostly talk of light years to measure distance in space. One parsec is 3,08567758 x 10^16 meters, and the number of Parsec Credits created in our TGE will be 30.856.775.800 followed by six decimals.


The Parsec Credits purchased during the crowd sale will initially enable you to purchase spaceships and other early assets which provides profit opportunities within the game as it launches.

The meta-game will start with a new spaceship manufactured every day, which will be put up for auction to holders of PRSC. Every player will need a spaceship to play the game, and initially there will only be a limited number of pre-manufactured spaceships. Additional spaceships must then be manufactured by the players in the game after launch, using resources extracted from around the galaxy.

Parsec Credits can also be used to acquire development project colony sites on the initial 17 inhabitable planets in the galaxy.


The Parsec Frontiers Foundation will manage the proceeds from the pre-sale and crowd sale. It is to be established for the sole purpose of overseeing the continuous development and successful operations of the game. The foundation will be incorporated in Switzerland.




1,542,838,790 PRSC (5% of the total pre-burn supply) is allocated for bounty programs. This includes affiliate bounty, marketing bounty as well as a community bounty.

We have created a generous bounty campaign for the community, with 400 million (1.296%) of the total Parsec Credits allocated to reward community contributions leading up to the pre-sale. Note that all reserved tokens will be shared among the bounty campaign participants without exceptions.

Link to the official Parsec Frontiers pre-sale bounty campaign thread. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2518798.0)

The pre-sale bounty campaign ends on January 31st 2018.

There will be a separate bounty campaign leading up to the crowd sale, and if you participate in this pre-sale bounty campaign you can also participate in the crowd sale bounty campaign currently planned for March 1st until April 30th to earn additional Parsec Credits.

Please note that both pre-sale and bounty tokens will be distributed simultaneously with the tokens sold in the crowd sale. This will ensure fair trading on an equal footing amongst all participants in the sales.


We ask the community to help us shape, market and fund the game, and participate in its creation during development. We ask interested parties to read our whitepaper, offer feedback and suggestions for how to improve and iterate forward. We ask those of you interested in backing the project financially to participate in our forthcoming pre-sale by first registering on our whitelist. If you do not have the financial means to contribute funding, please consider joining our bounty campaign and help raise the project's awareness - we are grateful for all assistance you can offer. The future of our galaxy and the fate of the human race may depend upon it.

The Parsec Credits purchased during the crowd sale will initially enable you to purchase spaceships and other early assets which provides profit opportunities within the game as it launches.

The meta-game will start with a new spaceship manufactured every day, which will be put up for auction to holders of PRSC. Every player will need a spaceship to play the game, and initially there will only be a limited number of pre-manufactured spaceships. Additional spaceships must then be manufactured by the players in the game after launch, using resources extracted from around the galaxy.

Parsec Credits can also be used to acquire development project colony sites on the initial 17 inhabitable planets in the galaxy.


The Parsec Frontiers Foundation will manage the proceeds from the pre-sale and crowd sale. It is to be established for the sole purpose of overseeing the continuous development and successful operations of the game. The foundation will be incorporated in Switzerland.




1,542,838,790 PRSC (5% of the total pre-burn supply) is allocated for bounty programs. This includes affiliate bounty, marketing bounty as well as a community bounty.

We have created a generous bounty campaign for the community, with 400 million (1.296%) of the total Parsec Credits allocated to reward community contributions leading up to the pre-sale. Note that all reserved tokens will be shared among the bounty campaign participants without exceptions.

Link to the official Parsec Frontiers pre-sale bounty campaign thread. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2518798.0)

The pre-sale bounty campaign ends on January 31st 2018.

There will be a separate bounty campaign leading up to the crowd sale, and if you participate in this pre-sale bounty campaign you can also participate in the crowd sale bounty campaign currently planned for March 1st until April 30th to earn additional Parsec Credits.

Please note that both pre-sale and bounty tokens will be distributed simultaneously with the tokens sold in the crowd sale. This will ensure fair trading on an equal footing amongst all participants in the sales.


We ask the community to help us shape, market and fund the game, and participate in its creation during development. We ask interested parties to read our whitepaper, offer feedback and suggestions for how to improve and iterate forward. We ask those of you interested in backing the project financially to participate in our forthcoming pre-sale by first registering on our whitelist. If you do not have the financial means to contribute funding, please consider joining our bounty campaign and help raise the project's awareness - we are grateful for all assistance you can offer. The future of our galaxy and the fate of the human race may depend upon it.

Bitcoin Garden: Parsec Frontiers – First Fully Featured Blockchain Game Reveals its Core Technology Choice in NEO
https://bitcoingarden.org/parsec-frontiers-first-fully-featured-blockchain-game-reveals-its-core-technology-choice-in-neo/

On Friday, May 4, project founders of Parsec Frontiers, an online MMO game devoted to humanity’s colonization of the stars and planets in the Milky Way, revealed the technical details the game is being built on. The project team plans to use an open public customized blockchain with permissioned elements inside of the game, with node operation possible for everyone in the community.

The blockchain technology built in the MMO will ensure transparency and validity in every area and every procedure of the game. It’s aimed to prevent double spending, and provide the immutable and public history that can be used for financial analysis.

The developer even plans to make the market available outside of the rich (3D) game client – via a web interface for users, and a service API for developers....

"Parsec choose Neo because it’s currently more mature and industry-ready." added for voting, proof and forecast on YEENOT TODAY https://yeenot.today/catalog/news/205
what makes Neo a great fit for Parsec Frontiers ? Read and Vote.

https://yeenot.today/media/news_images/neo3.PNG

let’s summarize, what makes Neo a great fit for Parsec Frontiers:

dBFT consensus, combining the instant finality with decentralized block ordering through voting for the limited number of bookkeepers
The high performance, promising thousands of transactions per second
Split of voting and incentive tokens, that gives us freedom in tweaking the incentive model
Powerful smart contract facility, that would allow both us and players to use mainstream languages and tools for smart contract development
Native Windows support
MIT license and C# language our team is experienced with allow us to customize the platform
Platform maturity, comparing to rivals
Platform focus on digital assets and digital identity, which is aligned with ours

ICO Analysis: Parsec Frontiers
Published on May 29, 2018
By Joshua Larson

Team
The project is undertaken by renowned game development Artplant studio, based in Norway and Russia. The team of 15+ people has 5-25 years of game development experience and extensive experience with MMOs and virtual worlds.
The project has six advisers, including three listed below.
Christian Lassem: Creator of Planetarion, later followed by AD2460. They are both reference games that online space games have been inspired by, and they still have an active community.
John Kavanagh: An accomplished industry executive with a video game career of nearly 35 years. He has also been involved in designing, developing and licensing games and technology to Sega, Nintendo, Apple, Atari, Commodore and Broderbund. He’s since worked at Eidos, Crystal Dynamics and Paramount Pictures.
Shaban Shaame: Founded EverdreamSoft, a Swiss-based game company, in 2010. He pioneered in-game blockchain integration with Spells of Genesis and BitCrystals economy, giving players true ownership of their digital game assets.
When it comes to the dev team, many are from Artplant.

Verdict
On the surface level, this seems like an easy pass. But after digging into it, it seems more like a good gamble. It’s definitely been overlooked by investors. The team is legit and are trying to produce quality.
Blockchain-based MMOs will have a giant place in the future gaming industry. Putting digital assets on the chain so that they can be securely traded like tokens is game-changing.
Parsec is partnered with BitSpace, an up and coming block producer candidate and new project incubator for EOS blockchain. BitSpace was campaigning hard to bring Parsec Fronteir to EOS. However, they decided to go with NEO. According to Telegram, NEO hasn’t announced Parsec to their community yet. NEO is a  huge and passionate community. This game could get many new players once they start marketing.

Risks
    More often than not, ambitious MMORPG projects such as Parsec underestimate and over-scope what it will take to produce, and the game never gets released. -1.5
    The original token sale was only supposed to last 2 weeks in May. However, they were nowhere near hitting the cap, so they extended it until the end of June. As of May 25, they have raised  850 ETH. Their soft cap is 2,500 ETH and the hard cap is over 10,000 ETH. -3
    Scalability is always an issue. They will build on the NEO blockchain, which is extremely risky at this point. Here’s the quote given in their whitepaper about how they will handle this issue:
    “The modular approach also has the benefit of scaling well with the money raised to fund the project. We see many projects requiring a huge amount of money just for an initial release, not to mention the cost it takes to run and expand an MMORPG. Parsec however is a manageable project to get out the door, but scales infinitely upwards as time passes and funding is secured. Over time, we believe Parsec will be one of the richest MMO experiences on the market, and a true next generation of blockchain gaming.” -2
    Marketing seems lacking. If they can’t sell out their soft cap, what makes them think they will be able to introduce this game to the masses? -2

Growth Potential
   A large supply coins, if popular, have typically done extremely well in terms of ROI for ICO contributors. +1
    Partnerships. As mentioned above, Parsec is partnered with BitSpace. Axie is a fantasy creature collecting game. Shufti Pro is a screen identity verification tool. And EverdreamSoft is a Swiss-based mobile game and app developer, created Spells of Genesis. +2
    Space-based MMO Eve Online does not publish subscription numbers, but reportedly has about 500,000 monthly subscribers. Star Citizen is on track to raise close to $200 million from over 2 million prospective players. The team at Parsec wrote a blog breaking down what could happen to the token value if this game gets adopted. +3  
    The team has had success in the past with games such as Battlestar Gallactica Online, which has seen over 20 million users.+4
    The rare in-game assets will be sold on exchanges such as WAX. If this game goes mainstream, some of these ships that can be bid on today for 1 or 2 ETH, could be worth thousands of dollars in the future. Players are bidding on ships as we speak here .+2
    Here’s a 5 minute demo showing what they have so far:+2

Disposition
This is a possible sleeper that could either pay off huge or crash and burn. Blockchain-based MMOs will have a giant place in the future gaming industry. Putting in-game digital assets on the chain so that they can be securely traded like tokens is game-changing. 5.5/10

Any news about exchange? I see some people trade PRSC on fork/etherdelta but the volume and price still low  :'( i hope PRSC will listing on another exchange like IDEX (for growing volume) or kucoin (for increase prices).
Btw, I see on the roadmap (source whitepaper), exchange listing on May right??

A very dubious project, why play it? From my experience I can say that they quickly get bored, but I do not see huge prospects for earning without large investments, I'm not sure that it will pay off

It doesn't make sense to ask for more exchanges since they didn't reach soft cap.
A better question would be: what happens if soft cap is not reached?

The price is still too high given how many PRSC I have without the promised airdrop, that is . I'm a little disappointed but having watched it all this time, I'm starting to rationalize that perhaps it would be better for my playstyle to not get tied down to the management of an Ark anyway. Maybe I'll have more fun in the game with a couple of the other ships to come? Surely to God the price will drop for them... LOL What are your thoughts on the playstyle impacts for those with Arks compared to those without?

thats really bad news for this project,,
i think this project is great, but they don't have a good marketing strategy in the crowdsale

but i read this on your link

Quote
During August, most likely mid-month, we will conduct a physical meeting in Oslo where pre-sale investors, project partners, advisors and other interested parties are invited to join. At the meeting, we will summarize the work that has been carried out in joint retrospect, answer questions, and have an open discussion on what can be done to continue the project. The date and exact location will be announced at least two weeks prior.

i hope the Prsc team will have a good solutions during the physical meeting on august for their project,,

anyway thank for your informations my friend
