Title: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Bitcoin NFT Trading Card Game since 2016 👽 Post by: m4nki on November 25, 2016, 10:21:19 AM http://ageofchains.com/Bilder/Logos/Logo_Small_Transparent.png (http://www.ageofchains.com) www.AgeofChains.com Age of Chains is a Blockchain Trading Card Game playing in a cosmic setting (https://www.ageofchains.com/age-of-chains-decentralizing-our-galaxy/).

We already have developed the core game mechanics at play as well as 100+ complementary cards and are currently developing the prototype of the game.

Therefore, as an immediate objective, we focus on creating high quality physical Age of Chains trading cards and collectibles in order to continuously fund our development.

Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 1st Card Mini ICO Post by: m4nki on November 25, 2016, 02:49:44 PM nice watching closely. Nice to have you here, croxx. :) could u give more info about the team of devs ? thanks. Sure thing, that is a great question! We are currently a team of three: Our technical lead developer has multiple years of experience in creating video games and a special interest for VR. I previously already have worked with him back in 2014 for a startup called Eversnap (https://www.eversnappro.com/) in Silicon Valley, where we became good friends. Our game balance designer has a long history as an avid trading card game player and is deeply involved in the Hearthstone community. He very well understands it to create unique and lovable game mechanics. I myself can be seen of as filling the "CEO" role if you wish. In earlier days I have created a startup that focused on helping video game developers to drive attention to their game by connecting them to video gaming focused YouTubers who would then, in a contest style, publish videos on their YouTube channel about the respective game. I passed the Founder Institute startup launch program as one of three graduates but my continuously rising passion for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology ultimately captured all my time. I am also one of the managers of the Divvy DAO (http://divvydao.org/), where we are creating a development platform for interoperable DAOs. Anything else you are curious about?

Please leave some cards for the other people ;) What is the promotial? Not sure what you are asking - could you please elaborate on your question? Thank you.

Thanks Yes, I live in Berlin. There will be tributes to many different cryptocurrencies within the game. One of those is Woodcoin. Woodcoin's dev, funkenstein, has taught me good things.

Also, if you wish to participate but are for whatever reason not able to participate through the swapbot, hit me up with a direct message. You can get up to five cards from us like that. So if you are using a regular Bitcoin wallet without Counterparty functionality, this might help you out. Later, you can easily access your cards by importing your Bitcoin private key into the Counterwallet. Best, m4nki Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 1st Card Mini ICO Post by: termion on November 26, 2016, 03:37:19 AM Where i can sell my cards ?

If i buy card for 10$, I can sell it for, for example, 100$ ( price of stage 5) ? Where - Exchanges ( Yobit, etc) ? Escrow? Hi, thank you for your question! This is the beauty of the already established infrastructure within Counterparty: You can right away after purchase start trading your card on the Counterparty decentralized exchange. I personally recommend the Indiesquare wallet (https://wallet.indiesquare.me/), but also the Counterwallet (https://counterwallet.io/) works great for this. Here is some documentation (http://counterparty.io/docs/trade/) you can follow to get started (although using the beforementioned wallets are really user friendly and mostly self explanatory for selling your cards).

Got restocked. 7 out of 10 cards from this batch already sold. Thank you all! 13 cards to Tier 2. Every time I look at the bot it is out of cards. I already missed Tier 1 because I was too tired to stay up waiting for the restock. I think this would work more efficiently if you just put some orders up on the DEX at the different tiers, this way the next order would just kick in when one tier is completed.

If people ALREADY can buy token from market for 12$, why they will buy card for 100 $ for tier 5 ? that is a good point, too actually. If the token gets immediately delivered to the person that ordered it before the tokensale is completed there is nothing preventing people from starting to trade them on the DEX. IMHO ICOs that don´t release the tokens until after the sale is closed address this issue better.

The asset name is "GUARDIANCARD": https://blockscan.com/assetInfo/GUARDIANCARD (https://blockscan.com/assetInfo/GUARDIANCARD) When will be market " GUARDIANCARD/XCP" ... After sell all 777 cards or early? The market is already open. You can start offering your card now on the Counterparty decentralized exchange. Can you close market till end ICO ? And start price must be over 100$ ( If I buy token for 10$ , i can sell token for 20$ - 2x profit ...) People not buying cards on tiers 5 - they don't sell them with profit (because if people buy token for 10$ , they can sell them for 20$) Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 1st Card Mini ICO Post by: m4nki on November 26, 2016, 02:21:22 PM Tier 1 just sold out. A big thank you to all participants!
This introduces Tier 2: 100 cards for $15 each. Only 190 cards are left to be brought in circulation via direct sales. Get your Woodcoin's Guardian card now at the Age of Chains - Official Swapbot (https://swapbot.tokenly.com/bot/m4nki/age-of-chains-official-swapbot). Every time I look at the bot it is out of cards. I already missed Tier 1 because I was too tired to stay up waiting for the restock. I think this would work more efficiently if you just put some orders up on the DEX at the different tiers, this way the next order would just kick in when one tier is completed. I am sorry that you missed it - I did my best to restock the bot whenever it was sold out - but I have to sometimes sleep a bit, too :) If it happens again, please reach out to me via direct message. We can send a limited number of cards to individuals on a direct way. This way, you are not bound to the swapbot supply. Please understand that we are trying our best to achieve a relatively distributed supply among a broad community, which is why we load the swapbot each time only with a limited supply. What means tiers 2,3, etc ... If people ALREADY can buy token from market for 12$, why they will buy card for 100 $ for tier 5 ? that is a good point, too actually. If the token gets immediately delivered to the person that ordered it before the tokensale is completed there is nothing preventing people from starting to trade them on the DEX. IMHO ICOs that don´t release the tokens until after the sale is closed address this issue better. If people want to start selling their card now for $12 worth of XCP or BTC on the Dex, they are free to do so. There will be enough people happy to buy the cards off of them at that price and to hodl them. Everyone may give up their card at whatever price they want. Sooner or later my personal guess is that the cards likely will start selling out at the Tier 5 price and beyond and people that have sold their cards at whatever price below will most likely regret it. The way this card sale is organized in our opinion much better creates a natural price discovery of the card than if we would lock the market up. If Tier 5 takes months to sell out, that is fine. A locked up market would not do any better in such case and in fact would leave those people that already participated out in the blue about their investment for an uncertain time. Of course, there is no guarantee of how the price of the cards will develop and we do not make any guarantees of future price developments of the cards.

Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 1st Card Mini ICO Post by: m4nki on November 26, 2016, 07:53:59 PM why not use a token from the ETH or the other, why should the counterparty, I thought wallet have a problem? Because Counterparty does not fork every week. :D Just kidding. Well, Counterparty has the most advanced infrastructure and best user experience for creating and trading tokens. Also, ETH's network is turing-complete, making it subject to the halting problem, which ultimately could lead to a breakdown of the network. Counterparty instead is chained to Bitcoin, which in itself is a turing-incomplete network. Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 1st Card Mini ICO Post by: termion on November 26, 2016, 10:47:26 PM When Age of chains will be released?
Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 1st Card Mini ICO Post by: m4nki on November 27, 2016, 03:57:37 AM When Age of chains will be released? Good question. It would be great if we could release something next year, but we still have to develop the exact roadmap and how it is with roadmaps in crypto/software development, it often ends up not being accurate. The younger the project, the more difficult to predict an exact release date. However here is what we will develop in the next weeks: The next month will be fully dedicated to creating a solid game's base. This includes: - Creating the game scenario (board) and the overall rules. - Defining card attributes and values. These steps are very important and require heavy testing and balancing in order to guarantee for a hooking game experience. The weeks after, we will be able to: - Create the card design. - Do deeper work on the game mechanics, implement factions and balance them accordingly. During all of that time we also are working on developing the lore in which the game plays.

Inspired by Magic: The Gathering and Hearthstone, Age of Chains looks to go beyond known game dynamics to offer a truly unique and hooking gaming experience. We are currently developing the exact game mechanics at play as well as the card design and the lore of the game. As I understand you have nothing yet.

There are currently just 53 cards left for Tier 2. If you have not grabbed yourself a card yet, you can do so here (https://swapbot.tokenly.com/bot/m4nki/age-of-chains-official-swapbot). Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 1st Card Mini ICO Post by: overthetop2011 on November 28, 2016, 03:31:24 AM dev , one question for discussion:
Since we just have 777 cards with fixed supply and non-division, how could we get a large user base? Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 1st Card Mini ICO Post by: m4nki on November 28, 2016, 05:24:39 AM dev , one question for discussion: Since we just have 777 cards with fixed supply and non-division, how could we get a large user base? Great question! As Woodcoin's Guardian will have a very low drop rate for being obtained through the purchase of card packs, it is ensured that the supply of Woodcoin's Guardians will last for a longer period of time, even though the card is extremely rare. You may think a bit of it as finding a "Black Lotus" card within a Magic: The Gathering card pack (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRxCeO2KIS8), which is a card that is worth around $30.000 and one of the rarest in the whole game with just a 1100 supply limit (Alpha version). Many other cards will be available in much higher quantities, enabling us to scale accordingly.

Indeed. Also, the Counterparty community has been very helpful and multiple of services building on top of it already have approached us for cooperating. The already established infrastructure will certainly accelerate the overall game development. There is no other chain with such usability serving our purpose, we are very happy having decided to build on top of Counterparty. I am hopeful that the Age of Chains will help guide us out of the age of chains to the glorious age of chains :) Thank you for your words, funken! We certainly aim at creating a user experience where the regular video gamer with little to no understanding of blockchain technology will be able to easily make use of the full functionality of our game. Any news? How many cards remaining on 2 Stage? We are currently running daily playtests for defining the core board design and game mechanics. Also, lots of other things going on - amongst others: Planning on card pack design/implementation with drop probabilities etc, figuring out the exact lore as well as designing the next cards. Regarding Woodcoin's Guardian: Only 29 cards left until reaching Tier 3. :) Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 1st Card Mini ICO Post by: termion on December 03, 2016, 03:47:25 PM Up theme...

But Liqui team has found a solution: when a trader/investor participates in ICO indirectly but through our platform (all transaction IDs are of course provided to developers’ wallets) – we can credited the balance of the relevant coin to them once the crowdsale is over! Therefore, trading begins hours after ICO and there’s no need to wait until coin developers release the network (which often takes months). Or you can just keep the tokens on the balance (like it happens in any ICO) and once the network has been released – witdraw them. When the network is ready – IOU flag disappears from the relevant pair and then this pair functions as an ordinary coin.

I guess you don't really have a GUI to show off yet? Not even a placeholder / concept art? I really love the way Blizzard designed the Hearthstone board and cards. I hope that you can take what they did right and create something that is still uniquely your own.
My opinion is that Hearthstone, unlike other digital TCGs, reached such a large success not just because of the existing Warcraft fanbase, but because Blizzard was able to create a "magical" atmosphere, together with great flow and feel to the game play aspects. Other TCGs have tried, but I feel that games like Magic the gathering, the recently released Eternal, and the Elder Scrolls TCGs all fail to accomplish what Hearthstone did: they feel stiff and boring. Hearthstone is fun and fluid. I hope you take my words into consideration when designing the game. As an avid TCG player (and investor in the developing decentralized gaming space) I really want to see your game succeed. Best of luck. And if you have a slack channel I'd love to join. Otherwise I'll keep checking in here from time to time. And I'll buy some Wood cards. :) I like to collect things.

Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 1st Card Mini ICO Post by: m4nki on December 05, 2016, 06:11:41 PM Have you any site? No site yet - this will come soon in a minimal version as a blog with our first post. We have to do hardcore task prioritization right now, as there are many things to work on that are more important right now. Also thank you for your suggestion regarding IOU. Since we are launching our tokens on Counterparty, rather than creating our own blockchain, we do not need such platform. Anyone purchasing cards has immediate access to them.

Great to see someone with a similar mindset as we have. :) Hearthstone certainly has done a great job in delivering a very smooth user experience and makes it easy even for players that are new to the TCG genre to get started and have fun. We are very dedicated towards creating a gaming experience that resembles at least a similar user-friendlyness. We soon will have a blog post elaborating on the core board rules of the game so you will be able to better grasp that our game will be truly unique. Creating a Slack channel also is a great idea which we definitely should do soon as the community continues to grow. Thank you for your support! What is going on with this project ?

I am sorry but if you do not find $10 per card reasonable, then this is probably not the right project for you. Also I do not understand what you are asking in your second question. Are you referring to the ~150 different cards we are planning to have ready for the main release? It takes time. This game is a huge project and we are in the very early development stage of it right now. If you expect a game delivered to your doorsteps tomorrow morning, please move on - then this project again is not for you. Considering the game mechanics, we will be having a blog post up soon that will elaborate on this. Stay tuned!

I don't expect everything to be done all at once. releasing it slowly is actually better for game balancing since that will have to be something that will need doing fairly often. Also you say that if I don't think $10 is reasonable then I must move on ? Ok well I think $10 per card can add up to alot. the cards go up to $100 even you said yourself MTG black lotus is $30 and you want up to $100.
So no as a TCG/CCG player I don't find $10 starting price reasonable especially since there still is no game. I don't know you all I have is your word. Maybe you are going to make a great game with a profitable and fun way to trade cards but I do not know that and all I was saying is that compared o most projects $10 is a high starting off place. I wanted you to justify it not tell me to move on. Why are the cards that price ? The game is played with only a handful of cards ? at $10 that could cost alot and it is $10-$100 All I am doing is weighing our risk to reward. It is not a personal attack on your project. I actually support it since I live TCG/CCG. Oh and how much will a card pack cost ? Another reason I say $10 is a lot is because I like to collect things and collecting 100 cards would cost me $1000 and that is a lot.

Another reason I say $10 is a lot is because I like to collect things and collecting 100 cards would cost me $1000 and that is a lot. Pricing of card packs is a huge topic that requires lots of through-thinking. At this stage it is not possible to give exact numbers. One way we think of it is offering 1.000.000.000 card packs at a converted rate of around a couple of U.S. Dollars, possibly containing five cards. Chances to obtain a Woodcoin's Guardian by purchasing a card pack then would be 0,00000245% - you see now how rare this card is? If $10 per card is too expensive for you, simply wait for the card packs to be sold. You will be able to collect more cards for less money, but it will be way more difficult to obtain rare cards that we are handing out right now for direct purchase. PS: all numbers are still not definite and only shall demonstrate the direction in which it will go.

Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 1st Card Mini ICO Post by: m4nki on December 15, 2016, 01:05:46 PM Whats up ? Any news ? tier 3 sold ? We entered Tier 3 for Woodcoin's Guardian just a couple of days ago. The card is still available for purchase at that price level via our swapbot. Our landing page (http://www.ageofchains.com/) is ready (Thank you, Matthew!) and if you like to be among the first to read our blog post, make sure to follow us on Medium (https://medium.com/@ageofchains). We currently are evaluating many applications for the position as a Unity Game Developer, as my friend Ruben (planned to be the CTO) currently due to being in the end-stage of his master's program can only commit little time to the project. Also, on a good side note, we have been accepted within the FounderX program and decided to participate. The program is mainly remote, lasts three months and is aimed at refining our business model and pitch with the main goal of securing an initial funding round. The last three days of the program will take place in Silicon Valley, consisting of networking events, workshops and formal dinners. Our aim is to raise at least $500.000 in funds which will take us a long way, hopefully even until release. If you are an angel investor, looking for an investment opportunity, feel free to reach out. Here is part of the FounderX acceptance email: Quote Hello, I have very good news. You have been selected to receive the special Graduate assistance for the FounderX advisory program. Congratulations! We reached out to over 500 of the up-and-coming Graduates, reviewed over 100, and then selected 50 of the best. You are one. There are two next steps before we start the mentoring in January. So things look great. We are making huge progress on the mechanic side of the game with every day, are developing the lore, design and scale our team. To give you a little bit of an insight into the lore: Age of Chains plays in a distant future, at the time where our galaxy collides with the Andromeda galaxy. Throughout billions of years, contrarian evolutionary concepts have established themselves throughout each galaxy, now resulting in a clash of galactical cultures. Now a little Christmas game: Prize: 1x Woodcoin's Guardian http://bitcoinschule.de/aoc/wg.jpg Guess which values have risen to the top in our galaxy :) How do you envision our galaxy in some billions of years? How do you envision the collision of the two galaxies? Whoever comes closest to what we imagine for our lore will win one Woodcoin's Guardian card. The game lasts until the end of December this year, CET time. We are looking forward to learn about your inspirative thoughts :) Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 1st Card Mini ICO Post by: Cryptorials on December 15, 2016, 05:16:36 PM To give you a little bit of an insight into the lore: Age of Chains plays in a distant future, at the time where our galaxy collides with the Andromeda galaxy.

OK, here's my idea: The evolutionary concept of our galaxy is individuation; the survival of the fittest. Genetic variants survive if they can find a niche in which they can make use of the resources of the ecosystem they are in more efficiently than competitors, then they seek to expand their territory. Dominant species, such as humanity, use economic competition to expand their individual lifespan, territory and power through technology. God-like individuals, living thousands of years, may dominate many worlds. The evolutionary concept of the other galaxy is collectivism. Genetic variants are allowed to survive only if they are useful to the established ecosystem. Symbiosis, and its shadow parasitism, are the order of the day. Planet-wide intelligences draw together individual species in harmonious conflict free wholes, but individual freedom is non-existent. Rather than being based on the manipulation of inert matter, ‘technology’ is based on genetics and the use of highly specialised species breed especially for their task. The clash is therefore between beings which consider a planet to be simply a resources for individuals to use, and those which consider individuals, and even whole species, to be simply a resource for planets to use.

Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 1st Card Mini ICO Post by: GreenBits on January 01, 2017, 03:40:30 AM Christmas Contest In Age of Chains, we find ourselves in a distant future, billions of years away, at a time where our galaxy collides with the Andromeda Galaxy. Throughout billions of years, contrarian evolutionary concepts have established themselves throughout each galaxy, now resulting in a clash of galactical cultures. This Christmas contest dives into your imagination: How do you envision this collision of the two galaxies? Which values have risen to the top in our galaxy? How do you envision our galaxy in some billions of years? :) To participate in the contest, simply post your descriptive elaboration of the answers to the above mentioned questions as a post in this thread. Whoever comes closest to what we imagine for our lore will win one Woodcoin's Guardian card (see below). The game lasts until the end of December this year, CET time. We are looking forward to learn about your inspirative thoughts :) Woodcoin's Guardian (GUARDIANCARD) http://bitcoinschule.de/aoc/wg.jpg Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 2nd Card Mini ICO Post by: meyer on January 01, 2017, 01:41:10 PM Great artworks... both cards!

Tau sold so fast, we had to restock the swapbot within the first minutes - we feel honored to have such a supportive community already! If you have not done so yet, you can get your first Age of Chains cards here: 33 cards left for Woodcoin's Guardian (https://swapbot.tokenly.com/bot/m4nki/age-of-chains-official-swapbot#choose) in Tier 3. 170 cards left for Tau the Time Traveller (https://swapbot.tokenly.com/bot/m4nki/age-of-chains-official-swapbot-tau-the-time-traveller#choose) in Tier 1.

Not only differ their game mechanics a lot from ours, but also are their cards algorithmically generated. We instead carefully craft the abilities of each individual card for achieving a truly unique gaming experience and well complementing card decks. Additionally, on a technical level, they are using bitbind for creating their cards, while we are using Counterparty which in my eyes has many benefits, such as already having an established and user friendly infrastructure to easily trade your cards on the open market. We are following agile development principles within the development of our game - while we currently fund development through the direct sale of cards, we additionally aim at raising ~$500k in funds from angel investors / venture capitalists and for that are participating in an invite-only program for graduates of the Founder Institute geared towards securing an initial fundraising round. Ultimately, we also aim at holding an ICO that will enable us to raise even more funds to achieve our goal. Nice card.

Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 2nd Card Mini ICO Post by: m4nki on January 01, 2017, 09:33:48 PM I love blockchain card games. Indeed. Granting the players true ownership over their items is something that enhances the whole gaming experience for the player. I remember the days back in the mid 2000s when I had to add a disclaimer to my Ebay auction selling my World of Warcraft account saying something like "The only thing I am selling is the time invested, not the intellectual property behind it." Would have been great if that game's itemry would run on the blockchain to some extent - I can imagine some real economies being built around that. --- Reposting for visibility - we just released our second card for you: The cosmic signal has stabilized - we now have a clear image of the entity that seems to have gotten in touch with us for peaceful collaboration.

I've said it time and time again, but the value of altcoins lies in the world of online gaming. Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - 2nd Card Mini ICO Post by: m4nki on January 05, 2017, 02:18:27 AM Christmas Contest Results
Thank you for participating within our Christmas Contest (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1692890.msg17241251#msg17241251)! It has been a difficult task to decide in between the three submissions which one would win the prize, as all answers have some interesting elements to them which we enjoyed reading and imagining. We appreciate all three submissions and therefore decided to reward the participation within the Christmas Contest accordingly, meaning that also place two and three are winning a prize. However, as we still had to make a decision, we selected hatshepsut93 for winning the first prize, one Woodcoin's Guardian card, because thinking of our galaxy being mainly inhabited by species that live in peace resembles to a great extent our vision. How do you envision this collision of the two galaxies? At first, the upcoming collision was met with fear and uncertainty in both galaxies. The dominant civilization of Andromeda Galaxy included various inorganic life forms who were threatened by organic life forms for millions of years, until finally reaching peace and balance. But in the end, inhabitants of both galaxies managed to establish contact and begin cooperating for the common good. Collision itself proved to be devastating to millions of planets and stars, although everyone had thousands of years to prepare for it and no lives were lost. As the result of collision, many new resources were formed, which boosted technology and science in both civilizations. One of the planets, previously unexplored due to it's hidden location, was now revealed, and its first explorers found a very strange and cryptic message... Which values have risen to the top in our galaxy? After millions of years of progress and exploration, humans and other species of our galaxy came to understanding that peace is a prime value. For the majority of the time before the collision, there were no wars in our galaxy and all races lived in mutually beneficial cooperation. Still, they understood that not everyone in the Universe could share their views and there are armories full of deadly weapons, lying deep beneath the surface of some planets. Intelligence became the most important personal trait while beauty and wealth are viewed as secondary. How do you envision our galaxy in some billions of years? 97% of planets in our galaxy will be populated and there will be thousands of sapient species. Some of them will be colonists from other galaxies, others are much more older than humanity. There will be all kinds of advanced technology like AI, cybernetics, genetic modification, Dyson spheres, faster than light traveling, etc. One of the notable examples of such technologies are enormous living star ships and even artificial living planets. As for politics, the government became a thing of a long past history, because everyone understand their responsibilities and cooperate on a fair and voluntary basis. Congratulations, hatshepsut93! Second place goes to Cryptorials: Fun game. OK, here's my idea: The evolutionary concept of our galaxy is individuation; the survival of the fittest. Genetic variants survive if they can find a niche in which they can make use of the resources of the ecosystem they are in more efficiently than competitors, then they seek to expand their territory. Dominant species, such as humanity, use economic competition to expand their individual lifespan, territory and power through technology. God-like individuals, living thousands of years, may dominate many worlds. The evolutionary concept of the other galaxy is collectivism. Genetic variants are allowed to survive only if they are useful to the established ecosystem. Symbiosis, and its shadow parasitism, are the order of the day. Planet-wide intelligences draw together individual species in harmonious conflict free wholes, but individual freedom is non-existent. Rather than being based on the manipulation of inert matter, ‘technology’ is based on genetics and the use of highly specialised species breed especially for their task. The clash is therefore between beings which consider a planet to be simply a resources for individuals to use, and those which consider individuals, and even whole species, to be simply a resource for planets to use. Describing your vision of the two contrarian evolutionary principles in both galaxies was fun to read. Also, as we can already see especially with Tau the Time Traveller, your idea that insanely powerful individuals would exist certainly is true. You may choose whether you would like to have either one Tau the Time Traveller card or one exemplar of the next card. Congratulations, Cryptorials! Third place goes to GreenBits: How do you envision this collision of the two galaxies? The collision of this two galaxies (the Andromeda Galaxy and our own Galaxy) that will happen 4 billion years from now on(based on theory).With this collision it can collide our galaxy stars and the Andromeda Galaxy stars , because of the different gases of the two galaxies it can make new stars or even a new planet, and lastly, the Andromeda Galaxy have a trillion stars than our galaxy that have only a billion stars and because of the spaces of our galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy stars and planets of it will fill the spaces of our galaxy or it will merge the planet and stars to make a new stars and planets. Which values have risen to the top of our galaxy? In the top of our galaxy, it have a creatures that have a high intelligence than ours, and they living with a high end technolgy.With the help of thier technology they exploring our galaxy to find new habitable places for their race, and they still finding a new life form.If they find a new races they make tournament between their race and the newly find race to knows whos the strongest of all. How do you envision our galaxy in some billions of years In billions years from now on,due the collision of the two galaxies some of other races and our races that survive they decide to make a agreement to make peace and to help each other like sharing their technology to others that they lack of it and they decided to interact each other by visiting their own planet.But it have some races that they want war and colonize other planets. You also had the thought of peace for our galaxy which is great - unfortunately hatshepsut93 was a bit faster with this thought. :) Also the thoughts on new planets and stars being created upon the collision is nice. You will receive either one Tau the Time Traveller or the third card, depending on how Cryptorials chooses. Congratulations, GreenBits! Please send me your address so I can send you your prizes. :) Looking forward to the next contest - if you have any ideas for what you would like it to be about, we are happy to hear from you.

Hope you enjoy it! What are your thoughts? The next blog diving deeper into our development progress is soon to come.

Hey! Yes I have noticed that and talked to the Tokenly team - sorry for the delay. It seems to be in connection with the Mempool flooding that was taking place within the Bitcoin network (http://bitcointicker.co/networkstats/ (http://bitcointicker.co/networkstats/)) which delayed many transactions within the last two days. Also, the standard tx fee of the swapbots were relatively low (0.0001 BTC) which added to the effect. The mempool has stabilized now so I expect the txs to go through relatively soon. I also have adjusted the tx fee to 0.0003 BTC for the swapbots to make sure that future txs go through much quicker even in times when the mempool is overloaded. I will make sure that you get your cards. Best, m4nki Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - Card Sale LIVE Post by: m4nki on January 26, 2017, 10:40:46 AM Mind if you guys can check swapbot I have 2 transactions stuck for like a day now kinda odd...

Current card sale status: Woodcoin's Guardian: 7 cards left (https://swapbot.tokenly.com/bot/m4nki/age-of-chains-official-swapbot#choose) in Tier 5. Tau the Time Traveller: 438 cards left (https://swapbot.tokenly.com/bot/m4nki/age-of-chains-official-swapbot-tau-the-time-traveller#choose) in Tier 2. L'ourn, Hidden Defender of Monero: 365 cards left (https://swapbot.tokenly.com/bot/m4nki/age-of-chains-official-swapbot-lourn-defender-monero#choose) in Tier 2. The accelerator is about to enter the second phase. We are currently working on an overhaul of the pitchdeck and have already put lots of work into it. In my eyes, it looks good but does not seem yet to satisfy the accelerator's program leader. We got a deadline due to Monday to significantly improve the pitchdeck or we will drop out of the program. If that would be the case, we would continue our path as before and still move on reaching out to investors for securing an initial fundraising round. The traction we have achieved so far due to your support has proven that what we are looking to achieve has gigantic potential. Our revenue so far looks as follows: http://bitcoinschule.de/aoc/Traction.JPG Continuing our card release and development progress, we are confident that even if we would not secure outside funding, we will achieve our goal of coming out with a revolutionary game to be known among the world. So far, you have been helping us a lot for realizing this vision - thank you! I have hired a designer for drafting out a preliminary version of our game board and I am looking forward to sharing it with you in the upcoming days. We will soon start inviting our community to join our Slack. Please pm me your email address if you would like to join.

We hope to be done as soon as possible with the fundraising process. Community Survey Better understanding who you are will strengthen our position in front of angel investors and increase our chances to successfully secure the initial seed round that we currently are looking to close in order to being able to deliver you an amazing game within a relatively short time frame.

Currently we are setting up everything for an initial technical prototype that enables us multiplayer functionality (1on1) to bring further playtesting to the next level. We will build a team of playtesters to kickstart our feedback loop and constantly improve the game balancing & mechanics until release. This way we ensure to build a game that people love.

It would be really fun to have some part in the development of Age of Chains, even if it's just bug finding and giving feedback. Thanks everyone! We definitely will make the prototype accessible to a selection of community members as we know how valuable your feedback is. Great to know that you already playtested comparable games before! I will dive deeper into it once the time has come. To get a first glimpse about our game board across, I share with you here a first sketch: http://bitcoinschule.de/aoc/gameboardbtc.jpg Note that this is just a first draft that we use in our pitchdeck. The card layout and everything related to the board will look very different and much more advanced within the game. Also note that our current plans for deck-building are that a deck will consist of 40 cards including one commander card. Commander cards are very powerful cards. Upon start of the match, you will automatically already hold the commander in your hand so you can count on having it ready to play when you need it. All three cards released so far are commander cards.

It's always a risky move to show these early development screenshots since not everyone understands the concept of sketches/mockups and how much they differ from a final product. On to the picture itself.. my first thought was "what's with the 3 separate parts of the board with different planets?" Care to explain a little more? I'm curious.

On to the picture itself.. my first thought was "what's with the 3 separate parts of the board with different planets?" Care to explain a little more? I'm curious. Hey kwest, great question! As a player, you will be in the position of defending three individual territories, herein represented by the individual planets. Whoever manages to first destroy two out of three territories of the opponent, wins the match. When having a match, you have to carefully decide which of the three territories you backup with troops. As a nice customization aspect, the territories will vary in environment depending on which planet they represent and you as a player will be able to change your particular territory pregame by owning certain cards representing the respective territories. --- Also, thank you for the amazing buy support! There is currently just one Woodcoin's Guardian card left at Tier 5 that I will transfer to the swapbot at a random time within this month so if you want to secure yourself the last Guardiancard, make sure to stop by its swapbot once in a while. After that, our first card's direct purchases will be sold out - you will only be able to buy it on the open market or get it by chance through the purchase of card packs upon game release.

Yes, like I've said earlier in this thread: I do love HS. But that is the one thing I really don't like. I want all decks to be at least somewhat thoughtful and well paced, not mindless "go face" until your opponent dies on turn 4 because he has nothing to contest you with.

Title: Re: [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card based Video Game - Card Sale LIVE Post by: m4nki on March 08, 2017, 09:21:19 AM Thanks for all the posts, guys - great to see some action going on in here!
Also another big thanks to the supporters that have been buying cards in the recent days - we now are in Tier 2 for all cards except for Woodcoin's Guardian where two cards in Tier 5 are left before being sold out! :) If you do an ICO, I hope you will burn all the tokens after redemption of ranks/ICO assets or whatever benefits. I would hate to see another shitcoin being used for game assets. I have to say that the way you have done it so far is excellent by only accepting BTC or XCP for selling your cards. We are evaluating all options considering the ICO. I already have something in mind but that would not include burning the tokens such as BitCrystals is doing but rather serve creating a direct flow of fiat money into our network.

So, my question is : Are all these cards tradeable ? and how to realize such a big list of trading items ? I mean it would not be practical to hope any exchange to lisk the whole pack of cards .

The webpage states that the chances are way below 1% that Tau would be found in a deck pack. I take that to mean that, if there are 8000 Tau cards that would mean the total number of cards would be way more than 800,000. I could be misconstruing 'chance' or variables like the size of the deck pack, possible plans to destroy/burn cards, etc. Lots of variables could impact the final numbers.

One of the factors influencing this are Bitcoin network related transaction costs that might increase further up until release depending on the increase of Bitcoin's popularity.

The funds received through that sale will provide us with lots of capabilities to push this project forward. I do not want to give away too much, yet but besides creating the game itself, we want to ensure a great user experience for card owners to hold, view and trade their cards.

We proudly present: Card 006: Meteora Board http://bitcoinschule.de/aoc/006bct.jpg Meteora Board will grant you the possibility to change your Age of Chains game board into a planetary environment like the one we encounter on Meteora, a planet in the depths of our galaxy. Find out more about the history of Meteora (https://medium.com/@ageofchains/meteora-planet-of-the-floating-lands-7fa374e70b84). The Meteora Board is a rare cosmetic used for enabling a unique customization of the game board. Only 111.111 Meteora Board cards will ever exist. The distribution of the card is organized as follows: 1000 cards for $5 each. Minimum purchase amount is two cards. The other cards will not be sold directly and are going to become accessible by purchasing card packs. The chances of receiving a Meteora Board card within a regular card pack will be way below 1%. 500 units will be put aside for promotional activities. 200 units will be distributed among the Age of Chains team. The card can be bought through the Age of Chains - Official Swapbot: Meteora Board (https://swapbot.tokenly.com/bot/m4nki/age-of-chains-official-swapbot-meteora#choose).

It is only because of you that we are able to work together on this full-time. I cannot say that often enough. :) The new card is beautiful, I like it. :) Beautiful card, great story! Great card, iam curious to see the end product. This game will be the first of its kind, thats a beginning story like we see it already in similar projects. Thanks a lot for the positive feedback! We are working hard on all sides to progress on our vision. Throughout numerous physical playtesting sessions within the team we further improved the core of our game up to a degree that everybody is extremely excited to get the digital prototype out for intense playtesting. We have revamped the concept and replaced the initial idea where we were thinking of three territories for each player with something else that is a lot of fun to play - plus we have come up with a very cool way for the player to generate resources throughout the match. :) The development of the digital prototype is ongoing and we just found some more help on the backend. Generally speaking, I am overwhelmed by the amazing support that you as a community and everybody I talk to is providing us. By now we already have around 10+ people being to some degree involved in the realization of this project and I am truly thankful for that. The scaling of the team combined with a drop in card sales last month also was the reason why I increased the amount of cards to be distributed among the team - there are so many people aiding to make this project a success and the cards allocated for the team are being wisely used as a minimal compensation for the work that these people put into the project. In the meantime, check out some of the physical prototypes that we used for playtesting (see collage below). In the left of the right image you see the first black and white version at a price of approximately $3 for the whole prototype (I guess you can call that lean ;)). The colored one was a bit more expensive but definitely worth it. Feels great to be testing our own game - I hope I do not become too addicted once we have the technical prototype out. :) http://bitcoinschule.de/aoc/pt001.jpg I accidentally bought 1 BTC worth of LOG ... anyone interested in doing an OTC transaction? There's no volume to exit my position. It might have been a lucky accident for you :) Anyhow, if you really want to sell them, you might want to check #woodcoin in the freenode IRC: https://webchat.freenode.net/ or in the Woodcoin Bitcointalk-Thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=831003.640;topicseen). --- If you would like to support this project, feel free to buy some of the cards that are listed in the OP of this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1692890). There are only 2 Woodcoin's Guardian cards left at $100 and all other cards are still in Tier 2 for $15. The drop probabilities of these cards in regular card packs once we come to the release are going to be extremely low. Have a good one, everyone!

Good question. I'm guessing that it will be released with the 'ICO'. I would love to have a token related to our lore acting as the main medium of exchange within the game. A potential ICO would introduce it to us. Using a token or card as "money" inside the game would be great. But I hope that we could avoid creating another shitcoin among so many others (BCY, NXC, Databits) to purchase game assets from outside the system. XCP could be used within the Book of Orbs/dex, and BTC could be used outside the dex. ICO tokens could be burned after redemption of ranks. The real value should solely be based on game assets. Having a shitcoin representing the game could dilute the game assets that it is supposed to represent and adds complexity to the pricing. Another lesson to learn from SOG is that ranks should be represented by a set of game cards/assets. This would make the ranks transferable, make the cards more valuable for its dual purpose, and would solve the problem that SOG has where partners loose interest over time and stop trading/buying cards. It is like a village with only one bakery. If the owner of the bakery shuts down the bakery with no possibility of take over, the villagers are left without a bakery.

Another lesson to learn from SOG is that ranks should be represented by a set of game cards/assets. This would make the ranks transferable, make the cards more valuable for its dual purpose, and would solve the problem that SOG has where partners loose interest over time and stop trading/buying cards. It is like a village with only one bakery. If the owner of the bakery shuts down the bakery with no possibility of take over, the villagers are left without a bakery. Hey, thanks for your comment. What do you mean by "ranks"? Most likely we will not have ranks in the sense as that you get special benefits in terms of exclusivity in purchase rights. We strongly believe that everyone should have the same possibilities of purchasing the cards, rather then first making them exclusively accessible to a very narrow circle of people.

Good question. I'm guessing that it will be released with the 'ICO'. I would love to have a token related to our lore acting as the main medium of exchange within the game. A potential ICO would introduce it to us. Using a token or card as "money" inside the game would be great. But I hope that we could avoid creating another shitcoin among so many others (BCY, NXC, Databits) to purchase game assets from outside the system. XCP could be used within the Book of Orbs/dex, and BTC could be used outside the dex. ICO tokens could be burned after redemption of ranks. The real value should solely be based on game assets. Having a shitcoin representing the game could dilute the game assets that it is supposed to represent and adds complexity to the pricing.

We strongly believe that everyone should have the same possibilities of purchasing the cards, rather then first making them exclusively accessible to a very narrow circle of people. I completely agree with you on that one. So no ranks would solve the problem that SOG currently has where higher ranking members stop contributing in game asset retail.

Makes me want a real physical collector's copy of some of the cards. :) You could use the NEM Apostille (notarization) service to prove that the card is the original and not a forged copy.

The card graphics look really sleek keep it up dev! Can't wait to try the game.. when is the ETA for launch? There is no typical "ICO" right now but you already can secure yourself some of the rarest cards of the game. They are linked in the OP. The cards are tokens based on the Counterparty protocol. Seems like "Woodcoin's Guardians" sold out! https://swapbot.tokenly.com/bot/m4nki/age-of-chains-official-swapbot#choose Congratulations, Keep up! Yes - thank you, randombit! This is a major achievement and we are very thankful for it. We started offering Woodcoin's Guardian end of November and it took less than 5 months to reach this milestone. Congratulations to everyone who took the initiative to secure himself one of these very rare pieces. Everyone else: You can try your luck finding an offer for a Woodcoin's Guardian on the Counterparty Dex - or try to find him by purchasing card packs when the game is released. Wow, the Myriad art is gorgeous. Compliments to the artist.

Just a thought. Anyway, looking forward to the game. Can't wait. Thank you, kwest1! :) Thank you for the suggestion! We are indeed currently exploring ways for physical manifestations of cards and already are in conversation with a great partner to realize this endeavour on a certain level. Meanwhile, development is of course ongoing and everything is progressing in the right direction. Patrick, a great mind in the crypto space has joined the team as a Community Developer and will soon launch an interesting contest in this thread that will be quite cool to participate in. Also, next week, we are going to onboard an additional team member for the front-end. Additionally, next month, there is another nice thing happening that we will be glad to announce. :) Stay tuned!

At the tokenly swapbots you can put xcp-addresses on a whitelist e.g. " https://swapbot.tokenly.com/bot/spellsofgenesis/partner-merchant#choose " "note swaps are only allowed from..." Augmentors whitelisted all early SoG supporters in their pre-sale and additionally they cooperated with SoG offering a precious cross asset card (GENOFLIGHT) playable in both games which is a great way of getting more attention and synergetic effects. "Genesis of Light is a one time offer that is only obtainable during this Pre-Sale. This is exclusive to those who have been with Spells of Genesis from the very beginning, i.e. all the BitCrystals Token Sale backers identified by their wallet addresses that have been White-Listed for the swapbot."

Thanks for explaining - So whitelisting happened there to give special access to a certain swapbot and it's offers? I see - yes, that is an interesting way of rewarding certain groups. We also will have interesting rewards that we are still planning out, both for existing supporters as well as for attracting new ones. Artwork on the cards is pretty awesome, and the ties to crypto themes is very cool. Hope the card game has popularity outside of crypto though as well, would be fun to play. Thank you, SpectivVR!

I want to be very careful with coming out with an official release date of the game at this stage of development to make sure that we deliver on our promises. Developing our game takes time and I want to be clear about that. There are too many unknowns to phrase out a release date so instead of raising false expectations I want to be clear that we are working on it with a "it is done when it is done" mentality, meaning that we want to make sure that the game we come out with meets our expectations in quality, rather than just coming out with anything just to meet some arbitrary timeline. I want to build something epic and epicness takes time. :) The cards price is dollar based. That means you will be paying less if you hold on your bitcoins and purchase at a later date when bitcoin reaches $10,000 That is true. At the same time, by waiting too long you might end up in a situation where the current cards are sold out (for direct sale). So it is up to everyone individually of when he thinks it is a good time to buy. Due to customer feedback, we will also disconnect the pricing of the next cards from the Dollar to reward early adopters for purchasing our cards.

Those that have been buying our cards are being rewarded: Moving forward, we are going to burn the remaining direct sale supply (apart from the card pack supply) of all 8 cards in circulation. These last days approaching the card burn are therefore the last chance to secure yourself our first cards before it is too late. After the card burn event, the cards are only going to be available on the open market. Or you wait much longer and try your luck finding the cards in our card packs - however notice that these cards are extremely rare.

Can we see: A timeplan with realistic estimations. Pictures from a game prototype or an early version. Statistics and pictures of the complementary cards. You will earn more money from this project delivering a working game than from new card sales. Thank you for your questions! Most technical development so far went into getting the backend on track to achieve the kind of structure that is being described in the OP. As we are dealing with a synchronous mulitplayer game, we had to give it extra care to make sure everything runs as expected. Currently, we have a very talented 3D Designer to craft out the arena for the prototype so soon we will have more visuals to show that demonstrate the environment wherein the matches take place. As said before, I want to be extra careful with speaking out particular time frames for achieving certain milestones, although I understand your curiousity. My personal goal is to come out with a playable prototype within this year so that our community soon can playtest an early version of the game, allowing them to give feedback and therefore enables us to further improve the game. The prototype will be web based (as opposed to a desktop version for the final release) and in particular serves the purpose of improving the game mechanics and card balancing. We have several spreadsheets with cards worked out (some of them being outdated due to revisions of core game mechanics) and are currently working on finishing an all-around rulebook that gives a good overview of everything we have so far. To prevent copycats, we will hand out the rulebook only to a selected number of trusted community members who then may review it and add their feedback so we can further improve it. I hope this answers your questions. :) It's great to see more cards are now available! How many different cards will be released for this series and will the remainder be burnt this time too? Thank you, starblocks! There will probably be 10 cards in this Series 2. And yes, we will have another card burn for this series after a while.

Rather than creating false hype around roadmaps based on nothing, I prefer sharing my honest opinion with you. What we are doing here is trying to create an epic game under a very limited budget (we have not done an ICO so far). We have already come a long way and I know we will get there, it only needs time to reach the quality we seek. Also, I would like to speak out a huge thank you to all AoC supporters!

The question is when to expect the ICO to launch? Recently, the XFC (Footballcoin) suffered a fiasco because ICO on counterparty. Will you have your own blockchain? Thank you for your questions, starb! I know Footballcoin but did not follow their development much, following up in their Bitcointalk-Thread now. So far, I do not think their ICO was a fiasco because they issued their cards on top of Counterparty, or why do you think was it? For us, Counterparty offers everything we need plus they have some great implementations coming up that make Counterparty even better for us to use compared to other blockchains.

Yes, we have to manually adjust the fee for each swapbot. Just some days ago I adjusted the fee downwards as the mempool was not as crowded to save some of the tx costs but just yesterday the mempool spiked up again, thus causing the delay: http://bitcoinschule.de/aoc/bctpics/mempool.JPG (Source: http://bitcointicker.co/networkstats/) Sorry for the waiting time, I have adjusted the swapbots tx fees upwards again and hope upcoming swaps go through faster. My personal feeling is that towards the end of the month, the mempool gets more crowded as people that use BTC to actually pay bills or get paid tend to do so towards the end of the month. What are the timing of the launch of the ICO to develop the game? Cards are wonderful, but the game itself is important. I think Age of the chains is very promising game. Thank you, starb! There are no definite ICO plans yet but we are already developing the game despite not having run a classical ICO. :) Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card Video Game: 🔥 Series 2 Presale Live 🔥 Post by: VirtualCloudMining on December 24, 2017, 11:00:40 AM 1st Age of Chains Paper Wallet Raffle Yesterday I was attending the Monero meetup in Berlin and got in touch with a great variety of likeminded people.

Hope the project could launch a version this year. I sincerely appreciate all the activity here in the thread since my last comment. The more recent time, I was fully committed to spend time with a very close family member who weeks ago finally moved on to his truly home where I am sure he is well. Following that event, I spent my time in nature to pause, reflect and be in full gratefulness of the memories I have been having with him. That said, I will be back with full activity by the middle of March. Our plans remain the same and I have never been more motivated to reach our goals and fulfill our vision.

I appreciate very much that you’ve already developed your platform. Thank you for your kind words and welcome to Age of Chains! Which platform are you referring to? The game is under development and a long-term project. We did not have a classical ICO raising hundreds of thousands or millions of funds but slowly progress with each card we are coming out with. Presently, our CTO has to work full-time besides AoC to make a living. The goal is to reach a situation where we have enough funds at our disposal for being able to secure his full-time work on AoC long-term. In any case, this is the project of my life and we are dedicated to bring it to full fruition no matter what.

Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card Video Game: Series 2 Presale Live Post by: m4nki on April 09, 2018, 12:18:17 PM Hi devs, can you clarify what is the lower limit of my donation at your ICO and pre-ICO? The Series 2 cards can be currently bought through our presale - the minimum contribution amount depends on the card but roughly equals $10-$20. As some cards are more expensive and rare than others, prices between cards vary. Currently, the rarest Series 2 card is Battlefield Harvester (https://swapbot.tokenly.com/bot/m4nki/age-of-chains-official-swapbot-harvester#choose) with a maximum supply of 6.666 cards. The least rare card of this series so far is Invasion Scout (https://swapbot.tokenly.com/bot/m4nki/age-of-chains-official-swapbot-invasion-scout#choose) with a maximum supply of 1.000.000 cards. Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card Video Game: Series 2 Presale Live Post by: m4nki on April 10, 2018, 11:00:17 PM Tell me pls such a question. What you wanna do with unsold tokens after the ICO? The unsold presale supply will be burned at the end of the Series. After Series 1 we already had a burn - the results can be seen here (https://xchain.io/address/1AgeofChainsSeries1Burnxxxy1xR3Ao). The rest of the supply will be allocated for future purposes such as sale of card packs. When purchasing card packs, it will be rather difficult to obtain the cards currently available in the presale as all of them are relatively rare compared to the overall supply of cards that we will have.

The Series 2 Presale will end after the release of Card 020. We currently have 14 cards out. Besides our card presale, there are no definite plans for an ICO. An option we have been looking into in the past is to raise a $400k seed round from angel investors, starting roughly at $50k in a ~10% round at a $4 million premoney valuation.

We appreciate the support you have been giving us so far and I am sorry for things taking so long. Meanwhile, you can check out the video to our latest card here: https://i.imgur.com/S24HtT9.png (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVB2K3-wxd4) I hope you like it. As you can see, we try to make every card something special, rather than using some quick sketch. What we are looking to achieve is not just another TCG but something epic in every way and this takes time but hopefully will ultimately reward us with something unique that the world has not seen before.

Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card Video Game: Card 015 OUT NOW! Post by: domob on October 19, 2018, 05:19:31 PM I'm thinking about supporting this project and buying some of the presale cards through tokenmarkets.com. The item descriptions say "Use the IndieSquare Wallet, Book of Orbs or Tokenly to buy cards from the Age of Chains swapbot". Does that mean that I have to use those wallets, or can I also use, say, CounterWallet instead?
I've no actual experience with Counterparty so far - and CounterWallet looks to me like the most trustworthy wallet. (I certainly don't want a mobile wallet nor a Chrome extension, so that from the three listed only Book of Orbs remains.) Also, do I need the BTC to buy the cards in the same wallet, or can I send them just from my regular Bitcoin wallet instead and have the cards transferred to my Counterparty wallet's address?

People like you are the ones making the journey to accomplishing our vision possible. As far as it goes for Desktop wallets, both Counterwallet.io (https://counterwallet.io) and FreeWallet.io (http://freewallet.io) are great to use. My favorite is FreeWallet.io as it constantly is being developed and the creator J Dog is very feedback oriented. Quote Also, do I need the BTC to buy the cards in the same wallet, or can I send them just from my regular Bitcoin wallet instead and have the cards transferred to my Counterparty wallet's address? This is a great question. In fact, you can send BTC from any wallet and the card delivery happens through an unrelated process where you claim the cards via email. Please let me know if you have further questions! :) This deck is a 3D graphic, right? It looks so real! :o Please update this thread more often since you're still working on the game. Will there be any alpha/beta access to the game anytime soon? You mean the arena? :) Yes, it is a 3D arena. We are working on a digitally playable version of the game. Obtaining the necessary funding to get our CTO full-time involved in our project would help accelerate a lot as he currently still has to work full-time on a different project to sustain a living. So while it currently is tough for me to say when it is ready, we certainly are working on making it happen as soon as possible.

Will the Game be available for any type of platform? The game will be mainly developed for desktop. We might do a mobile version afterwards. You will be able to use Age of Chains cards in the Age of Chains game but you can also use the Counterparty DEX do trade your cards against XCP. A good app for this currently is Book of Orbs (https://bookoforbs.com/index_eng.html), both for Android and web. We once wrote an article on it to read here (https://bookoforbs.com/index_eng.html). Of course, also other games may decide to add functionality to our cards in their games. An example is Sarutobi Island (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mandelduck.sarutobiisland&hl=en), wherein you can summon various monsters by putting two different Age of Chains cards on an altar. I'm interested in getting my hands on some of the sold-out series-1 cards. So if you want to make some XCP, consider the bids I created on the Counterparty Market or place your counter-asks and I will look at them. :) Nice to see some activity happening! :) Wishing you the best of luck in getting your hands on some of those cards! Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card Video Game: Card 015 OUT NOW! Post by: domob on October 29, 2018, 07:18:39 AM How is the structure of the game actually planned to be? Have you considered making the game playable in a decentralsed or partially decentralised P2P fashion in addition to providing a server for it?
Also, what do you think about making the game-play provably fair (can also be done with a central server)? Using commit/reveal schemes, one can implement provably fair, trustless and decentralised card shuffling between two players. I think that adding this will give the game a bit more "blockchain" touch (even though a blockchain is not the technical solution here).

I think that adding this will give the game a bit more "blockchain" touch (even though a blockchain is not the technical solution here). By structure do you mean the game mechanics? It has similarities with MTG and Hearthstone but we want to have some uniqueness to it, too. So far, we have restrained from making all of our game mechanics publicly available to protect our IP as there are so many copycats in crypto. The digital prototype will provide more clarity for our core community about the gameplay. Also, I am more than happy to show you or anyone else how an AoC match feels through a physical playtesting session. :) We want Age of Chains to teach people a little about the crypto universe, making it nice to play both for people that have not much of a clue about crypto but are interested, as well as for crypto OGs. I know from snailbrain that with XAYA you are looking to enable a more decentralized way of creating the game instead of running it on a server. It certainly sounds interesting but for now we just want to do it the simple, known way. One could think about migrating the backend at a later stage but this is still far out. Having provably fair card shuffling certainly would be great. Since I am not a coder I do not know how easy that is to implement but I will talk with our CTO. Once we are at that stage and if he has questions about how to get that done, I will come back to you to ask for more details! :) Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card Video Game: Card 015 OUT NOW!

It certainly sounds interesting but for now we just want to do it the simple, known way. One could think about migrating the backend at a later stage but this is still far out. I think what we try to do with Xaya is a bit different, though. Xaya is all about decentralised, global game state and mechanics - in terms of AoC, that would be more the part that Counterparty does for you. (And in fact, something like Counterparty could be implemented easily using Xaya.) For simple player-vs-player games that are not about money as in AoC, you don't need a blockchain at all (except for tracking of card ownership). You could still build the game in a way that makes the games played in a P2P fashion, simply by having the two players connect directly to each other rather than your server. But I agree that this is certainly not something very important, especially not for the start. At a later stage, I think it would fit well to the general decentralisation theme that you try to teach also with AoC, though. After all, you're a citizen of Milky Way and not Andromeda I assume? :) Having provably fair card shuffling certainly would be great. Since I am not a coder I do not know how easy that is to implement but I will talk with our CTO. Once we are at that stage and if he has questions about how to get that done, I will come back to you to ask for more details! :) I'm not a cryptographer myself, but I've spent quite some time thinking about provable fairness and random numbers in that context for Huntercoin and Xaya (and discussed with snailbrain). I don't think that provably-fair card shuffling is hard to implement, and there are multiple approaches to achieve it; so yes, let me know if you think you are ready for it and I'm happy to discuss that with your CTO! (But also here, I don't think this is important for the start - it can be added later anytime you feel like it.) Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card Video Game: Card 015 OUT NOW!

These are all great thoughts you have and I hope we will be able to implement some of the ideas. :) Will the series-2 presale end at a certain time and unsold cards be burnt as with series 1? If so, when will that be? Great question! Yes, the Series 2 presale will probably end at some point, but first some things have to happen: First, we want to get to 20 published cards and then start our marketing efforts - the burn of the unsold Series 2 presale cards will follow, assuming we hit certain funding milestones through the sale. Priority number one for us in the moment is to receive funding in order to move the technical development of the game forward. The immediate burn of Series 1 cards from last year left us with a lot of time with little revenue, as our card creation speed slowed down and people have been buying Series 1 cards only from other card holders, not us. We have to make sure we obtain the necessary funding (hopefully through a seed round) and depending on how quickly we achieve that, we will be more flexible with card burns and so forth. Tomorrow I will be presenting Age of Chains at the Blockchain Masters Cologne (https://www.eco.de/event/blockchain-masters-cologne-2018/) event. It would be amazing to see you there! :) Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card Video Game: Card 015 OUT NOW! Post by: meyer on December 10, 2018, 09:08:38 AM good luck in Cologne :)

Yes, I fully understand that - make sure you are able to proceed with the project! I was just curious to hear about your further presale plans. By the way, for you and anyone else who might be interested in participating in the presale: Unfortunately I had a relatively bad experience with my latest orders through Tokenmarkets. They failed to recognise my payment at first, and then they screwed up the token withdrawal (it tried to send 100,000,000x the correct amount, which then obviously failed). Their support always fixed things for me and in the end everything was fine, but it was some hassle. I hope they will be able to fix their stuff soon, but perhaps be careful and just contact support if something is wrong (and they will fix it). For future card releases, would it be an option to (also) sell some through the Counterparty DEX instead of only through Tokenmarkets? That is of course not as nice as the shop, but it would make it possible for power users to buy without an intermediary that can screw up like that. And perhaps you can save some fees on the way as well. Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card Video Game: Card 015 OUT NOW!

Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card Video Game: Card 015 OUT NOW! Post by: m4nki on March 24, 2019, 01:07:32 PM How's the project going? :) Hey domob! Thank you so much for your comments in this thread and sorry for the delay in response and the hassle you have been experiencing going through Tokenmarkets as a service. Please PM me your Counterparty address, so I can transfer you some Age of Chains cards as an apology. Tokenmarkets has shut down their service as of end of last year and due to your feedback as well as the shut down of Tokenmarkets, we will switch back to the Counterparty DEX as the main distribution method for our cards. I have posted an update on the Telegram group a while back which pretty much still sums up our current situation quite well: Quote The progress of the game currently mainly happens on the side of character creation as well as the 3D Arena. We have the game mechanics set up but need funding to involve our CTO as he currently has to maintain a full-time position in a different company to sustain a living. Unfortunately, until then, the digital realization of the game is on hold. We need to be able to pay salaries not only to our CTO but also to being able to build a team around him, such as a back-end focused developer since the main specialization of Enrico is the front-end. We want to build the game from the getgo in a scalable way and Enrico has stated he needs development help in order to proceed. Last year, I have been mostly living from my savings and have been financing all costs related to the project from my own savings and I am more than willing to continue so in the future but it is mainly sufficient for paying the costs associated with tax advisor and to tbe financial authorities but not to build a sustainable technical development team. Other crypto projects raise millions of USD - if we could raise approximately 500k, this would enable us the full realization of the game. I will surely expand the effort in that direction to secure us the needed funding, but first I have to get the accounting side of things straight - the least fun thing about the whole project. Once that part is on solid feet, we will expand our efforts to raise money from angel investors. We also thought about creating a Kickstarter campaign as we can create a lot of nice giveaways for donors. I hope that the accounting related matters will be finished shortly in the future so that we can again focus more on card releases and speed up things drastically. A continuous card release schedule will help strengthen our position when moving towards raising a seed round involving angel investors. Rare Digital Arts Festival 2019 in NYC On some other news, the second Rare Digital Arts Festival in New York City will happen on 18th of May, 2019 and having been a presenting project in the first Rare Digital Arts Festival from January 2018, we are invited to exhibit our art at the show. We hope to be seeing you at the event and possibly play a round of Age of Chains on the side. Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card Video Game: Card 015 OUT NOW! Post by: domob on March 25, 2019, 07:54:13 AM Thanks for the update, it is nice to hear the project is progressing along! It's clear that you can't go as fast without any funding, so I wish you best of luck for getting some seed investment in the future - this is definitely an awesome project. :)
Yes, I heard about Tokenmarkets shutting down. You are obviously in no way to blame for that and their hickups (but in the end I didn't lose anything, it was just a hassle to get it fixed by their support!). Preselling cards through the DEX is certainly a good idea - I'm looking forward to new cards being available that way in the future!

At Xaya, we have now implemented a first demo version of our off-chain game channels framework: https://medium.com/@XAYA/xayaships-premieres-breakthrough-game-channels-technology-d53c4aadc124 You could use that to implement a truly decentralised and trustless version of Age of Chains if you want. That would take care of some of the backend stuff for you. Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Trading Card Video Game: Card 015 OUT NOW!

It's clear that you can't go as fast without any funding, so I wish you best of luck for getting some seed investment in the future - this is definitely an awesome project. :) Thank you, domob, I appreciate your kind words! The first step towards possibly receiving funding is to increase our sales. In 2018 we only published two newly created cards and in 2019 we so far have not come out with any new card. This was due to multiple factors, including personal matters, the unclear regulatory landscape, as well as laying the focus on more fundamental tasks such as the accounting. Now I am finally on to more interesting tasks, involving new card creations as well as developing physical goods that you will be able to purchase besides the digital cards. In order to raise funds from angel investors, raising our traction is key and I hope that we are now moving towards further accomplishing this goal. For each card that we come out with, we are planning physical deluxe boxes. Do you have any wishes on what you would like to see in them? At this stage we are still flexible and posssibly can make adjustments according to your desires. At Xaya, we have now implemented a first demo version of our off-chain game channels framework: https://medium.com/@XAYA/xayaships-premieres-breakthrough-game-channels-technology-d53c4aadc124 You could use that to implement a truly decentralised and trustless version of Age of Chains if you want. That would take care of some of the backend stuff for you. Thank you, for letting us know, domob! I forwarded the information to our CTO. I see that Gods Unchained is following a Hearthstone-like approach to their gameplay. What is your plans? Will you compete with Gods Unchained or are you planning to go in a different path, maybe something like Magic The Gathering, Steam's Artifact or something unique? Age of Chains is truly unique in the way it is being played. Of course, we have been inspired by Hearthstone, Magic: The Gathering and many other non trading card video games but once you are playing it, you will see how it is different than the ones mentioned. At this stage, I restrain from posting too much about the gameplay, as the crypto world is famous for copying whatever they find out there. As we do not have the necessary funding yet that is needed in order to reach maximum development acceleration, I prefer to wait with publishing our game mechanics. --- I will keep you up to date with more developments coming up!

That sounds great - I'm definitely looking forward to any new card creations! For each card that we come out with, we are planning physical deluxe boxes. Do you have any wishes on what you would like to see in them? At this stage we are still flexible and posssibly can make adjustments according to your desires. I don't have any particular suggestions. Personally I'm a fan of "physical bitcoin"-like products. But those would present a bit of a dilemma, of course: If the card is stored on a "physical collectible" like the ones given out in Minsk last year, you ideally don't want to redeem them immediately - but if buying cards is just that, you have to eventually or all cards will be unusable. What you could perhaps consider is doing batches of "digital" cards together with physical collectibles. E.g. selling 10 pieces of some card together, including one that is on a physical item and the other nine being sent to the buyer's wallet. That's just a random thought, though.

I agree, the wax sealed paper wallet cards are more to be seen as a collectible and while it still is possible to "redeem" the card by breaking the wax seal in order to gain access to the private key, it would take away some of the magic of the physical collectible. Your idea to mix digital card purchases with physical collectibles certainly is interesting. I think we are going to try that out in the future. Overall, we have now put more focus into creating physical trading cards with neat holographic effects but we still have to finish development of it. The card sale has not resumed yet but we are planning to do so this year. There were a lot of bureaucratic things to take care of, which led to a decrease of our creative work, but we have found our way through it and more motivating work is ahead now.

We will turn you into a character and create a Bitcoin based crypto collectible using the Counterparty (https://counterparty.io) protocol. Our card and character creation always has been driven by our futuristic vision, our aim for high-quality art and our desire to bring knowledge about decentralization towards the world we live in. Each of our card creations is a feedback driven process with lots of care involved to assure the compliance of our goals. Feel free to check the art of our previous trading cards (http://www.ageofchains.com/gallery). The Character Creation package includes: 1. Character & Card Concept: Together with you, we will develop a character concept that suits you well while fitting in the Age of Chains universe. You can decide if you want your character to be part of the decentralized Milky Way galaxy or of the corrupt Andromeda Empire. 2. Card Creation: We will select the best of our illustrators for your card creation to assure the high-quality standard we envision for your card. You will have a chance to give feedback on certain stages during the card creation and if possible, we will make changes to the concept according to your vision. The card creation process may take up to two to three months, as a lot of detail work is involved in order to reach perfection. 2. Card Illustration Get a high resolution image of your card so you can enjoy it in full detail! 3. Card GIF: In order to make your character and card more alive, we will partly make it animated. Check here (https://www.ageofchains.com/product/ascendency-digital-trading-card-series-2-card-015/) for an example. 4: Speed Art Video To make the experience of seeing your own character being developed even more enjoyable for you, we will create a speed art video of the card creation and publish it on our YouTube channel. Check here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuM88LAE0Bk&list=PLgaEVl3G4raIy3LlsgMnaK88LfCavM98y&index=2) to see an example. 5: Blockchain Trading Card We will define a total supply of your card and tokenize it on the Bitcoin blockchain using the Counterparty protocol. To let you become a true owner of your card, you will receive 5% of the card's total supply. The total card supply will be between 1.000 and 50.000 cards. 6. Physical Collectibles You will be receiving 10x hand sealed and signed paper wallets (21cm x 29.7cm) showing your card illustration on one side and containing the wax sealed private key with your card stored on it on the other side. Check the gallery in this blog post (https://www.ageofchains.com/journey-towards-intergalactic-blockchain-trading-cards/) for examples. 7. Be Part of a Video Game The ultimate goal of Age of Chains is to become a fully developed trading card video game for desktop but at this stage, there is no assurance that the project will reach this goal. Therefore, you can consider this as a bonus: If we reach our goal, you and your character be part of the most intergalactic blockchain trading card video game the world has ever seen. In any case, with your support you are laying the foundation for this endeavour to keep the galaxy decentralized! ---> To the Auction (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5233870.0) <--- Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Crypto Collectible Trading Card Game 👽 Post by: meyer on March 19, 2020, 08:29:35 AM thats such a great idea...

Indeed, I think that Counterparty is a very good choice for a project like Age of Chains.
If you just allow me to be a bit nit picky, one could argue that Namecoin was actually the very first NFT blockchain - because names on Namecoin are exactly NFTs (although the crypto gaming crowd doesn't typically know about it, or would consider anything non-ERC721 as "NFT"). Namecoin even supported atomic transactions ("multi-send") right from the start, with which you can trustlessly trade NFTs (names) for crypto (NMC).

Conversely, Andromeda has undergone an evolutionary process quite the opposite of our own – a process that has led to the ultimate centralization: A single dictator rules the entire galaxy. A new Age is approaching that will lead to a clash of intergalactic cultures, cultures that could not be more divergent.

This sculpture has been carefully crafted by a professional Austrian sculptor who previously has also done this piece of blockchain related art (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5039085.msg46230130#msg46230130). It is made out of basswood and its measurements are: Width: 25cm Depth: 14cm Height: 26cm (without foundation) / 39cm (with foundation) The foundation has "Age of Chains" engraved and a wax sealed drawer in the front. By removing the wax seal, you will be enabled to pull the drawer out, granting you access to the associated BTCitcoin private key which is loaded with the digital Quarks, Master of Black Holes trading card (stored as an Omni token on the Bitcoin blockchain). By owning this unique piece, you support the vision behind Age of Chains of creating an intergalactic trading card game wherein we thrive to teach the world the benefits of blockchain technology for our society and beyond.

Source: https://www.ageofchains.com/quarks-master-of-black-holes/ (https://www.ageofchains.com/quarks-master-of-black-holes/)Their ability to bridge cosmic constellations through their remarkable understanding of decentralized networks quickly gave rise to their culture within the Golden Era of the Cosmic Union. For billions of years, the Aquar have been known as the gatekeepers between our and the spiritual world. By constantly furthering their sacred knowledge about the varios dimensions, they became true masters operating in between them. It is them with whom human and otherworldly shamans often interacted during their spiritual journeys when seeking help from non-ordinary reality. One particular Aquar, Quarks, already as a young child surprised his relatives with the sheer incredible astronomical and spiritual knowledge of his. This led to the belief that he is chosen to serve as a guardian to those who are rightfully in need of help. And so it came that he kept travelling the universe and dimensions both physically and spiritually to fulfill the god-given prophecy of him helping others. Since then, more than billions of years have passed and the tribe of the Aquar has almost faded into non-existence. Only a few of them are still alive, though scattered throughout the corners of this sheer gigantic universe. Quarks himself is said to be one of the few prevailing descendants of this intergalactic tribe of which only a handful remain. It is now that Quarks has returned to his home planet looking to discover the secrets of his ancestors. Beneath the desert of Xu'Danar resides what used to be the cultural center of the Aquar. Having carefully studied both the physical and spiritual realm within the different realities of our universe, Quarks possesses inherent power to manipulate matter in any given state. Thus, he mindfully takes position to uncover the past... --> To the Auction (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5262407) <-- Title: Re: 👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Crypto Collectible Trading Card Game 👽 Post by: m4nki on July 25, 2020, 12:14:18 PM Just Few Hours Left Here's another work of the same sculptor.
