Кофе по утрам довольно хорошо бодрит, а также душ, только не контрастный, обычного достаточно!

Довольно часто пугают непонятными прогнозами и выдумками!
Уж переживем холода, как обычно!

Да, с каждой частью все запутанней и запутанней. Хотя, как фильм на один раз точно интересно посмотреть

Full Statement (http://spellsofgenesis.tumblr.com/post/156128062085/spells-of-genesis-progress-report-january-20) :


Dear SoG supporters,

We have recently received requests from the community asking for more information about Spells of Genesis’ progress. We have not been spending much time on updates, neither released them regularly, updates are great for you, for us and for the game itself. To reassure you, we were not trying to hide anything from the community. Being the small team we are, means a lot of work and responsibilities as well as a lot to undertake for each team member. Because of this, sometimes it is not easy to handle priorities, and so, somehow, we neglected this part.

Being our partners and supporters, you have the right to see what’s happening behind the scenes, to know if things are progressing as expected or if we’re struggling with an issue. Going forward, our communications will be more open, regular with a focus on progress updates.

Starting from this week, our developers will be working in 2-3 weeks cycles called “sprints”. They define the tasks priority for each period while evaluating the achievement of set goals. At the end of each sprint, or at the beginning of a new one, we will publish a progress report to inform you about what we were working on during the sprint, if tasks were completed or not, and which tasks we are going to focus on next.
Sprint 1, week 1

This week, we are working on the following tasks:

In-game tutorial

Sebastien has almost finished the first part of the in-game tutorial. The first chapters of the tutorial will be included in the next build issued at the end of this sprint. He is explaining more about it in this video. ( http://spellsofgenesis.tumblr.com/post/156123188065/progress-on-the-tutorial )

New Community Forum

Up to now, SoG has been sharing the Moonga forum and wasn’t very active. While evaluating our current communication channels we decided to reorganize them. One of the main changes is that we want to move most of the interaction between community and us, as well as between community members to the forum. To be able to do so, we need to reorganize it and and improve it. There is substantial amount of work around this and it should take us a few more days to complete. We started this week and will try to re-open the new forum as soon as feasibly possible. In the meantime, the old forum may be inaccessible or may not function properly. We are aware of these issues and ask you to bear with us for the inconvenience.
API Tester
Once Thierry has finished the API Tester development, it will be a very helpful debugging resource to our developers when making major changes to the game. Thanks to this new tool, we’ll be able to make simulations of each change and test game/server connections before deploying them.
Minor debugging

Fixing minor game bugs

Sprint 1, week 2 - what are we planning to do

Next week, several team members will be travelling to represent the company and present its current projects in differents parts of the world.
Satoshi Roundtable

Shaban is going to Central America to attend the prestigious Satoshi Roundtable. Satoshi Roundtable is a strictly private, invitation-only event, hosting up to 100 of the leading personalities, CEOs, developers, thinkers and investors in the blockchain space.
Game Connection, GDC America, Ludicious Game Festival

Nicolas will spent two days in Zurich, Switzerland. The 1st day, he’ll be attending a preparatory event for Game Connection and GDC America, in presence of Jason Della Rocca, who’ll be coaching the studios. Next Friday, the 3rd edition of Ludicious Game Festival will be held there.
TechnoArk Conference

Also next Friday, Markéta is going to present the gaming case study at the TechnoArk blockchain technology conference, held in Sierre, Switzerland.
Development

Our developers will keep working on the tasks they’ve been assigned for this sprint, in order to be able to deliver a new build at the end of it.

Our next progress report will be released at the end of this month, we want to thank you all for the continuous support and the feedback provided so far, keep it coming!

The EverdreamSoft Team

Hi Yodark, thanks for your reply, so this feature will be ready before the worldwide launch? I suppose that after the worldwide launch there can't be any players reset.

  Talking abut the game.

  Preface
   I played a lot with the SoG Official Swiss Android Version 1.0.1 , and the unofficial (not in Google Play) new 1.0.3 version. Actually I'm doing a complete re-test from scratch.

 State of the Art
 From ver. 1.0.1 to 1.0.3 there were some good improvements, better graphics, better sounds and some bugfix. So the EDS team is working fine to release a commercial high quality game.
  Actually we are in soft launch, so the players achievements are to be reset before the real world wide launch. It mean that SoG is in an advanced beta testing stage, and it is necessary to test the iteraction between the fiat money store and the first real blockchain oriented game in the world.
 
  What are the main area for develop the game (in my player opinion):

 1- more levels, actually we have 14 levels with several waves each about 10-30 hours of gaming depending the power of your deck. It too less for a worldwide official launch (and of course more quests, daily quests, achievements)
 2- a more interesting challenge mode actually the "challenge mode" is quite boring, with a not so powerful deck is very easy to complete.  There is a lot of room here to add more waves (what about an infinite mode?) and mix different waves from regular levels. Also is possible to create more than one challenge/infinite campaign. There are some example around mobile game (Hill Climb 2 it have this pattern)
 3- Multiplayer SoG is designed for mutiplayer challenges, at least the Player Versus Player mode have to be implemented soon. This is one of the two killer feature of the game.
 4- Card Blockchainizzation This is the second killer feature, the most important. The ability to maxed out a card just playing the game (so watching ads and buying gems for fiat or blockchain card for bcy) and then get rewarded with a True Blockchain Ownership of a card. It is simply revolutionary.
 5- A more rational card deck manager the actual deck manager work quite fine with few cards in the deck (blockchain and non blockchain) when a player do have a lot of same tipe cards the actual deck is a little bit messy to manage.
 6- A card exchange for non blockchaind cards actually only blockchain cards are tradable with Book of Orb or other counterparty wallet/software it would be nice if players could trade non blockchain card for gold, crystals, gems (or for nothing, that could mean fiat money over the counter).

Those are the main area in my opinion , Time will tell what will be the SoG direction, but I'm sure what is the bitcrystal direction. The moon.

 Hallo DieJhonny, IMHO the instant game  trading feature is a wise idea and it can be done for non-blockchained cards right now. Add a blockchain wallet (in this case bitcoin/counterparty wallet) to the game is dangerous because there is the possibility that sometimes google or apple could ban SoG from the store. Anyway as you point out the SoG team is not so big so they have to prioritize were to code, the ability to play (a lot) SoG  (or buy some gems for fiat money)and have as a reward some blockchain asset is a super strong incentive.

 I strongly disagree that owning asset is the most important part of the game, the beauty of the game itself and the game mechanic is the rock solid base to build a trading-card game economy. SoG have to be played and have to be fun without any blockchian card at the start to attract more and more user, the ability to gain something that have a real value and that can be traded is its Turbo.

That's my  view.

  Hallo to all, first of all I have to apologize for my English that is far from perfect, so be patient for some formal and grammar errors.

  The preface of this post is that Spell of Genesis (SoG from now) is one in the very restricted number of projects that actually are doing real revenues in the crypto-economy. The  game-linked true-ownership blockchained card idea is disruptive for the game industry, and SoG have the right positioning to take full advantage of this new sector. For this reason  right now there are all the ingredients to see bitcrystals in the top ten crypto for market cap very soon.

 So why bitcrystals is so weak comparing to so much vaporware token and cryptocurrencies?

 Bitcrystals is not a new token, it have more then 18 month, and the project under bitcrystals is well developed and it recently reached the maturiry for a soft launch in the Google and Apple stores in two country (Canada and Switzerland)

 In my opinion it is time to do some fact checking on the reasons why we are in this weird and frustrating situation analyzing every aspect of the project. So this is my personal contribute to the discussion:

 Game and ecosystem, coding, development, bug fixing[

 This is the strongest area of the project, SoG is good and addictive game and the Sog Team (the Team from now) are doing an excellent job balancing spells, game mechanic, graphic, sound effects (i like to play SoG with headphones).
The bug fixing and player feedback process is not perfect and have to be refined, probably slack is not the best software to address this issue but it can be used. The team is actualy build some procedures to correctly report bugs and feature request on slack. Also the team do provide to users some documents that are in their internal bug fixing procedures:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1m0NmAnBl8KpFOUWseIPyZ4kg0dSFaH6veyrZwYXfuUY/edit#gid=979109819
 
 As for ecosystem we actually have, Sogasset, Book of Orbs (BoO from now) Bitcrystalbox, and normal counterparty tools. BoO in particular is a very wise and effective Idea, as for SoG, BoO have to be strongly developed in particular allowing cross game-currencies secondary market trades but right now is a very powerful tool to improve the True Ownership card game experience.

 The game is not finished for a real launch, the most important things to be done are:
 1) There are few levels, quests and achievements
 2) There isn't any kind of mulyplayer mode right now (it is only mentioned in an achievement)
 3) And most important for the bitcrystals token ecosystem, there isn't the card blockchainzation system for non-blockchained maxed out cards.

 The point 3 in my opinion is by far the most urgent and disruptive. The ability to obtain a valuable and tradable true ownership asset through the game is the real "new thing in town" in the game industry. The real main driver of the game.

 Doing a real launch without this feature is a suicide. Because this single feature worth the effort to download the game, try it and be addicted. And also, the blockchainizzation feature is a powerfull marketing weapon.

 Marketing, communication and Social Influence

 And here is the real problem.
 
 To my external eyes the Team have not a real internal marketing professional, so they hire Vambex Group and All4games to do this job, let's have a look.

 Vanbex group  ( http://www.vanbex.com/ ) the face and the nicknames of Vanbex here is Coin@Coin (bitcointalk) or @nic (slack) , this professional is doing what it is called community management. Informing on new cards, web articles (sometimes provided bu the Vanbex team)  and doing some kind of moderation and community help. I have nothing to say about the two first jobs, is fine , but he is total disaster as moderator, you can see it observing how many users (mee too) are personally pissed about is bad attitude with forumers. Bitcointalk is almost a dead channel now (what a big mistake, bitcointalk is the first informative channel were a crypto investor look at) and the general Slack section is not doing well. I think he is in charge for this situation.

 All4games ( http://www.all4games.co.uk/ ) my question is : what are they doing? I suppose they are doing translations, quality control, and that they are preparing a big style launch on the mobile market. The problem is : WE DO NOT HAVE ANY VISIBILITY on what is the All4game work. And that's unfair because investors did agree to have a cut for the all4game work. So probably some feedback is needed. I'm not asking for industrial secrets but it would be nice if someone from the all4games team do explain to the comunity some ldetails about the state of art of their work right now.

 Now let's talk about official communication.

 Actually Sog directly or not directly (Vanbex) do regular statements on
 1-new cards
 2-burning report

And recently:
 3-game devs report
http://www.moonga.com/board2/index.php/topic/15582-week-1-objectives-summary/

 Some pr material is sporadically done by Yodark itself ( video and roadmaps)  like this, the last Yodark video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMseE14Evbo&feature=youtu.be

They use:
1- Twitter https://twitter.com/SpellsofGenesis
2- facebook https://www.facebook.com/spellsofgenesis/?fref=ts
3- Slack https://spellsofgenesis.slack.com
4- Tumblr http://spellsofgenesis.tumblr.com/
5- bitcointalk https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=957797.0
5- Moonga forum http://www.moonga.com/board2/
6- Official website : https://spellsofgenesis.com/


 I want to start with Moonga Forum, I perfectly understand that this communication channel is in the Team comfort zone but really, except a very small community no one know about it, the moonga forum at my non-moonga-player eyes is invisible. It haven't any network effect and... come on is called "moonga" not "spells of genesis". So please I beg you to stop using it as a comunication channel. Investors have NOT to do a treasure hunt to find news. And we are talking about important news like the last objective summary.

 Now Tumblr: the question is, Is SoG Tumblr an official blog? Because I do not see any link from the official website https://spellsofgenesis.com/ to http://spellsofgenesis.tumblr.com/. Anyway let's suppose it is (what a mess), the official blog IS the center of investor and communiuty official communication. So all the interesting news have to be posted there.
 Not only new cards or the burning report.
 I didn't see the last Yodark video on Tumblr and actually that video have less than 150 views, that's a Joke and Yodrak simply waste his time doing it, 150 is less than the Slack community so no one see it except us.
 I didn't see any official communication about the fundamental objective summary, that I hope will be a timely regular public relation edition (let's say bi-montly?)
 I didn't see anything official about the release of the new game versione 1.0.3 on Tumblr and bitcointalk. And that is very serius mistake. New game version IS the "news" any new release is the most important news for investors. Because it certificate the company hard work.

But again no one know outside slack. To me it sound crazy.

  Then facebook facebook is a powerful marketing channel for cryptocurrencies and games, bitcoin and other crypto are a strong topic on facebook now, so i didn't understand why facebook is not used like twitter is. Have a look on how many "like" we have there:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dyi7yMsqDOxCzk2cf9slODeein2L4GCDVubCY706QR8/edit?usp=sharing (second tab)

All the official communication and sometimes one or two custom post a month have to shared on facebook and probably a facebook like campaign is needed we are not talking about huge investments. I understand that most people here "hate" facebook (me too), but fb IT work for games, and recently it works for crypto (the facebook decred case)

For Slack and Bitcointalk I have already said. The Vanbex moderator is the main problem, ha have not the skills to engage forumers. Probably some devs post  on bitcointalk is needed. Actually bitcointalk remain the first place were crypto investor look at for every project. Slack is a more restricted area.

Twitter is the only media that in my opinion is properly used.

My final impression is: a real good project (one of the best in the crypto sector) that lack of proper communication.

That's all, hope it help.

  Hallo, I bought some protonexiums through bcy, is there any system to convert protonexiums in nexiums?

  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dyi7yMsqDOxCzk2cf9slODeein2L4GCDVubCY706QR8/edit#gid=1573545942

  I just added the pubblic stats of how many android download made Book of Orb

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=inc.indiesquare.orbbook

 Exact number need a developer contract. Actually we are in the 100-500 interval.

So we are in the second week of November....

No more protonexium.

Now the cheapest way to buy Nexium is this discount link (10%):
https://beyond-the-void.net/index.php/partners-page-funnyking/

Actualy the most affordable way to get Nexiums is to buy bitcrystalls and then protonexium, you get 880-900 NXM per Eth equivalent.

here is the swapbot:

Here is the Burning Report whit bcy burnend in dollar and social influence updated:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dyi7yMsqDOxCzk2cf9slODeein2L4GCDVubCY706QR8/edit#gid=2029115033

It is not necessary, (for example) Ethereum based cards live on ethetreum, counterparty based cards on bitcoin. I think about two kind of cards, Sog Servers could handle them togheter

 Well, I do not understand why SoG have to live only on the bitcoin blockchain, SoG have a centralized server that properly coded could read more than one blockchain, so potentially any player could provide more than 1 type of blockchain address, and SoG could handle cards ore other object on any blockchain.
The real revolution is a multi blockchain game/service. Blockchains are only ledgers (ok Ethereum is more than a ledger).
So the discussion on what blockchain is better dosesn't have much sense. And BTW the bitcoin blockchain is NOT the ideal for card exchange, too slow, too costly.
pr

 Hallo, I'm thrilled for this announcement but there is a glitch, EDS must provide a new Time Line, the older one is now obsolete. 1 or 2 months of late are normal but the market have to be informed.
 Good Work, EDS.
