We are glad you are enjoying the updates about Heroes. Yes, we will be setting up a Slack to allow our investors to easily meet and interact with one another. Slacks purpose may be further extended in the future was a place where we post dev. log and community updates as well as handle live support questions.
We have also recently contacted Bittrex and are awaiting their response to our application. For now the most we can do as a community is to start reaching out to exchanges such as Bittrex, Poloniex, etc and letting them know about Jewels and showing your support. The more popular Jewels is in terms of its vocal community, the easier it will be to grab the attention of the more popular exchanges.

Will I ever be able to trade my currency inesrn in game on the exchanges ? Is that the idea/plan fpr the future ? Or is the game just backing fpr the currency so it has a place to be spent ? Which is also good.
From what I have found, you will be able to trade items in a P2P shop ingame. Jewels is the in-game currency that you will also be able to provably fair gamble, blackjack, dice, poker. You will be able to customize your character (visually) Players from poor countries will be able to acquire rare items in-game and trade them for Jewels, possibly giving that persons family food for the week. Long live Jewels!! What he said Jewels will be in-game currency for Conquer Apex and soon Heroes server along with gambling games that will also be a standalone websites for anyone to gamble with, and the plan is also of course to have it on exchanges, but that shouldn't be a priority - first development so jewels has something solid to offer then exchanges imo. One of Jewels' purposes is a premium in game currency (think Gems from Guild Wars 2). The big difference is the use cases we offer which can be infinitely many since Jewels is a decentralized currency and can be withdrawn, used and traded outside of our game. Players are free to trade as they please as both currencies have their uses. As we've previously stated and as some users have pointed out one problem that MMOs tend to directly have is that account / item farmers tend to sell items from USD on black markets. This is risky for players since it is possible they get scammed as the items come from a hacked source or bots/cheats. Jewels helps prevents that as it offers a means for us to easily escrow these sorts of trades to reduce scamming. Like any game has Jewels is a premium currency with real value (i.e. Gems in Guild Wars 2) but its use far extends outside of the game itself. |

Can this game be turned into a Dapp eventually? Or parts of it like the gambling parts.
Game itself not, but parts (gambling) - yes as it was suggested by the dev. And why not for the game itself. Cause it's not made as a dapp, but as a client for Windows OS - rewriting code would be a pain in the ass better develop everything from scratch. However maybe their new game (project Rebirth) might be done as a DAPP / mobile app , ... I'll say right off the bat that no large scale game is mobile friendly, think World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, League of Legends, etc. The term "Dapp" is definitely a confusing one as it seems many people have different views as to what exact a "Dapp" is. From my understanding, I will explain it concisely as such: A Dapp is a user interface which allows the user to interact with various smart-contracts behind the scenes to perform various tasks. An example of this might be as some users have pointed out gambling parts may be ported as a Dapp, but other aspects of the game such as say attacking a player cannot exist as a Dapp. Yeah, but porting Conquer to DAPP would be to much of a hassle, however gambling games as far as I know will be available for mobile. Maybe standalone app for mobile that would be awesome.
We have no intention of porting Conquer. Rebirth will be an entirely ground-zero project and while it may share similar stylistic elements with Conquer, the entirety of it being the assets, art, client and server code will all be written by our team. I can't give a 100% answer as to what the stance about using Dapps is currently. One thing I can say though with absolute certainty is it's a nice idea, and it sounds cool - but the majority of consumers being the typical MMO player has no idea what a Dapp is and telling them that we use Dapps doesn't drive profit. On the other hand, for components that can exist outside the MMO such as the gambling aspects, being a Dapp does appeal to those in crypto which would drive profit. So there are pros and cons to both sides  |

Thought I should comment and officially state that yes this is correct, we have nothing to do with this coin and it is just a coincidence on the naming. Please note that while we're calling the new game "Project Rebirth" the games name on release itself probably won't be "Rebirth" but will likely be decided later down the road... perhaps with some community involvement? |

As a small financial update as it's been awhile since I've done one we're now just above 30 BTC which means we're now past $15,000 mark! We're steadily getting closer to our goal every day and still have around 10 days to go.
Thanks for the support so far everybody and a special thanks to those who have already invested and shared our project with their peers.

This coin is good but the fund is short for such a big project. Maybe you won't get your target btc, but devs will you continue if the target is not met?
I don't think chris will give up on his game making but maybe no jewels if the ico does not hit it's target.  Will he refund the ico fund if the ico does not hit his target? I think this is necessary if he aborts the project due to fund. Just to requote and highlight our stance from the OP: We have a minimum goal of 200 BTC ($120,000.00 USD). It should be noted that we are also seeking means of investment capital outside of Bitcoin Talk as well as negotiating private deals. Discussions regarding private deals and partnerships which will not affect the Jewels ICO or distribution. Strictly speaking, we are looking to have a starting capital of $120,000 or more which will come from the ICO as well as outside investors. If at the end even after factoring in outside investments we have a budget less than $120,000 USD we will first seek to establish a new roadmap for development based on the available budget. Once we know this, we will then publish this information publicly and allow those who invested to vote weighted by their investment on whether we should proceed. If the majority votes "no" implying that they wish to be refunded then Jewels project will not proceed and we will begin the process of issuing a refund of all BTC. On the contrary, if the majority votes "yes" implying they wish to proceed despite the change in timeline which likely implies delayed schedules we will continue distribution and proceed with Jewels as intended.
Hope that helps answer your question! |

Hey, JewelsProject, wanted to make sure you saw my PM, . I know things can get hectic around here. Yup, saw. I'll have a response to you (and to others who've messaged us) for you tomorrow in the evening |

ICO started? I don't find any good or useful features, and the logo looks bad, how many btc you have raised so far? 22Btc, I think 200 btc can't be hit after ends.  ICO has clearly started and you would know that if you read ANY of the thread at all. You don't find an already made game with others being made useful? Maybe you should go and play with litecoin or some other feature rich coin and have some fun with that. This is a gamers coin and will be huge in future because unlike vapor wear BS coins this has already delivered and will be a contender to any gaming coin that is out. Contender? I think that is an understatement. This is a very useful game for people that enjoy gaming and crypto, I'm one of them. Not everyone likes gaming and the guy above is probably one of them. I have to agree with you that the potential of this coin looks big, I'll need to spend some time finding out more and downloading the game because I've only gave a quick scan of the thread and assumed everything is the way it is described in the Op. earning while playing good concept dev i will save some btc to join the ico and earn more aside from playing. good luck and keep moving forward. Im new to this thread, how can we get Jewels from playing? I thought Jewels was to be purchased from the exchange or paypal and then you can buy items and new features on the game. I might be wrong. I've got some BTC ready for after I have done all my research and tested the game to get an idea of the future game Heroes. You could do peer2peer trading. Farm items or in-game currency and trade with someone else for jewels. Currently we are not planning core game systems that will reward jewels as that would devalue them. That's not to say that we wouldn't consider doing promotions in there future though where you could win jewels from in-game tournaments or through raffles. We've done similar things in the past as part of advertisement campaigns and it would be a good fit here too. Will there be an interface in game like on Diablo 3 that simplifies a user creating trades of Jewels which is basically real money or how do you plan to address the black market of selling items for US dollars that these games tend to create? Sorry looks like I missed this. There will eventually be an auction system for items and Jewels will be one of the options that you can use to auction your items off via a web interface. |

Damn I used to play this game when it first came out, tried it again recently and damn they added so much garbage that pollutes the interface. When will the full version be out? Also will it have 1920x1080 resolution? Cant believe Conquer still using 1024x768.
Sorry didn't read all the thread, but does the game have everything from before it added all the extra shit? And can mobs drop jewels? Or how do you acquire them in game?
Not only that but the original is very pay to win oriented by now putting the gap between a new and veteran player very far. To address your questions, you can obtain Jewels from fiat (Paypal), cryptocurrencies / BTC (exchanges once Jewels is released), peer to peer trading, bounties, and also from promotional events we hold some of which may be in game events! |

How will the updates be given out to the community? I think it should be considered that having a slack or discord could be a good way to get updates out. For example,id like to know how the hero testing is coming along. Will it still be released next month? All this can be posted on a private channel like slack or did you ever consider a blog where you can post daily or semi daily updates. It could be as simple as a blog tab on the top of the apex conquer site.
Patch notes are listed on our homepage for the heroes project. www.ConquerHeroes.comThere has been some health issues that delayed the launch but we are still aiming for a launch that coincides with the end of the ICO (Sept 1st). If there are any significant delays forseen they will be posted there. After the 1.0 launch of Heroes we will be returning to our old structure of doing videos for path overviews. We're aiming for a stable weekly patch schedule but if there are any significant issues found we will of course address them immediately rather than waiting. I will give you my thoughts and feedback - Apex looks cool but Heroes looks cooler
- Jewels for paypal scares me even with the security measures you put in place because maybe fraudsters can find away around this
- Im worried that the time needed to build Hereo's and Project Rebirth is being underestimated
- I do think that if someone can do this you probably can because after going through your posts and updates to your own community I can tell you've got drive and desire and that client support is very important to you
I see you already have over 20 BTC invested. I assume if the goal is reached it will be the amount of BTC/# of JWL to get the cost of the coin. Also just wanted to make sure there will be no investment bonnus added at a later time. Everyone who invests gets the same rate and amount no matter when they invest. Right?[/list] Jewels for Paypal is a fairly low risk venture. The jewels can not be withdrawn or traded until after the chargepack period has ended. Assuming someone bought jewels and then did a chargeback, those jewels (and any items purchased with them in game) would still be inside our system and the accounts can be banned/the jewels recovered. In order to trade or gamble the jewels, players will need to go through an exchange, wait until the paypal transaction is 'finalized' (no reversal possible), use the automated conversion tools inside our wallet, or trade with other players who have done so. Timeline is quite realistic. Heroes has been in development for over a year now (not full time development, we have been very busy with adding new features and content to apex during that time). The server is fully playable and online for testing now. We're simply looking for final bugs, tweaking the rates and adding new content. Technically speaking we could go ahead and launch the server with a few days of prep work. We're giving ourselves a few more week to make sure we catch any issues and to make sure the launch is as exciting as possible for players. The timeline for Rebirth could be a bit confusing I agree. We're aiming for a Q4 2016 networking prototype. That simply means we'll have finalized our design for the client<>server communication and have a working prototype of both the client and server. This does not account for any actual game content, it's simply a foundation for us to build the game ontop of. This allows us to publish the first draft of our design document which will cover what the game will consist of and how we will go about integrating the necessary features. Mid 2017 we then aim to have a pre-alpha client ready for testing. This does NOT mean a remotely finished product, it simply means we'll have our concept art turned into the first set of character designs, some working skills in place and a map or two. This will allow us to bring in a few players to test how the game itself will work (how does the combat feel, do they like the direction the design of the game is going in, etc). There is no accurate way for us to give a full timeline for that project because we dont know how many developers we'd be hiring to work on it. The timeline we've given is the work we'd be doing with a small dedicated team to turn it into something playable to demonstrate the core concepts of the game, nothing more. Just to briefly summarize this post, we already have some things planned that we're going ahead with no matter what (esp. for Conquer Heroes) but for Project Rebirth which is very dependent on the amount of funds we raise now, it's hard to impose strict development roadmap without knowing what kind of a budget we're working with. We could probably loosely put together a roadmap based on $120,000 but if we raise more we would then need to spend time revising said time map and do it all over again. Redundancy is never a good thing  I see you already have over 20 BTC invested. I assume if the goal is reached it will be the amount of BTC/# of JWL to get the cost of the coin. Also just wanted to make sure there will be no investment bonnus added at a later time. Everyone who invests gets the same rate and amount no matter when they invest. Right?
That's correct. |

There has been some minor updates to our OP with the shift in rank of our account allowing some elevated privillages Would you like to join the Jewels Team?We are looking to hire some Brand Ambassadors for various languages.

Any prior experience you have had with public relations, any projects crypto realted that you have worked on and we will contact you back shortly. Answering QuestionsSo are jewels the current of apex conquer and can freely traded within and without the game as wished ? So I may deposit jewels into the fame to buy said item from said player then later when I'm stronger I can sell said item for jewels and have the option of spending them or withdrawing them ?
That is correct bearing in mind to trade Jewels between players requires maturity so either you must have gotten those Jewels from owning it as actual coins or from a mature Paypal payment. You can trade items purchased with Jewels and sell items in game for Jewels as you see fit Later on, the Jewels market place will simplify this process greatly. Great looking project!
I have a question about the paypal fund and how it's filled. Will you be waiting for it to be depleted and then going to the market and market buying another million jwl, will it be refilled as orders come in, will you be buying only on market or are OTC deals also possible?
As Pro4Never stated there is no set strict timeline currently. We will be monitoring the initial market and then be creating a schedule based on initial demand which will be announced. This will of course change in the future as demand continues to change. There will not OTC deals, we will be using strictly the exchange. Of course, we cannot give an exact time for when we will be purchasing because this could be used to leverage the market Good idea, I think I'm going to create my game this week and start an ingame currency with ICo. Can anyone make game easy? Will there be player games in game to win Jewels, "duel to win Jewel" and how about mining?
I like the idea of dueling to win more Jewels, maybe win whatever they have at the time of defeat  but then the game could become gangs or people taking everyones Jewels. You're going to create a game in a week and start an ICO made me nearly fall of my chair lol nice joke that was. No not anyone can make a game like this, infact a very very small number of people could and it would take a very long time. I believe their is 60k of lines of code. Mining in-game sounds very interesting actually and I'd like to hear more. Dueling for Jewels is an interesting idea as "fastblade" and "scentsword" (two pvp skills) dueling is very common in Apex! We will probably pursue this idea in the future, as is the ability to mine (in the game) Jewels. Of course mining in game for clarification is nothing like the word mining in crypto, so it will be strictly based on some random number generation. We will seek other avenues of incorporating Jewels use cases in the game and poll the community for feedback. As a reminder, we're also looking for artists, modelers, etcResumes can be sent to hr@apexconquer.com please be sure to link to any public portfolio you have ideally with a focus on some of the following skills. -Character modeling, texturing, rigging and animation -Promotional art. Banners, gifs, logos, etc -Clean, professional GUI designs -Experience with Unity engine (particles, shaders, etc) Obviously we don't expect one candidate to be able to do everything, those are simple some of the subcategories of work that we will be looking to hire out. We will be reviewing resumes and contacting applicants throughout the next couple of months in regards to freelance work we may have for their particular set of talents. |

Ok a little thing happened yesterday.. didnt get to grab the game, found out Emilia Clarke(Game of Thrones) is in my city along with Johnny Knoxville(Jackass) and their shooting a movie called "Above Suspicion" so I kinda did the crazy fanboy thing and tried my hardest to meet them... got met with guys with arms about 2x the size of my head at the door... lmao.. my bad guys, I will try to grab the game today.
@JewelsProject How large is the actual download of the game and is there plans for a browser release in the future? I know I should know this info already... but I've been very busy, probly as much as you guys.. have had youtube going on, lost almost a week of time due to my birthday.. took a paying level design job from Rghmodz, so that should be fun, and been handling a C2 users wallet issues..
Also I agree that all the gaming coins should work together, were all fighting for the same goal and dividing the community when we could all be acting as one.
After extraction 1 to 2 GB. Game is fairly low spec in terms of requirements to play so it's very friendly towards older computers. Apex does not have web support. As for web support for Rebirth in the future, that's still up for discussion |
|
|
|
Just a reminder that if you have any questions about the game feel free to ask us directly or make a post on the Apex forums! Next week you can expect some screenshots of the web-based platform we're developing for managing your coins as well as your Jewels in-game purchases |

As you know, we've launched Heroes which is still currently in testing but soon the official server will be launched. We're still currently on the bug hunt and of course still will be even after we transition out of testing! Tomorrow we will look to make a post to detail rewards for finding bugs on site / in game tomorrow.
Thank you to those who have been helping with the testing of Heroes!

200 BTC Goal & Clarification
For clarification on a few things as there are some ambiguities with what we said, the Heroes project will still be launched on it's current time line within the next 2 weeks (prior to the ICO ending). This can safely be done as users using PayPal to purchase Jewels will be buying from the PayPal reserve and will not be able to immediately turn their immature Jewels into the actual Jewels cryptographic asset.
We thank those who have offered input and suggestions as to how to reach the 200 BTC goal as it may seem as it stands we are quite far off. It should be noted that we are also seeking means of investment capital outside of Bitcoin Talk as well as negotiating private deals. We are currently in discussion with a few people in regards to private deals and partnerships which will not affect the Jewels ICO or distribution. Strictly speaking, we are looking to have a starting capital of $120,000 or more which will come from the ICO as well as outside investors.
Thanks, we will continue to keep the community posted on these matters.
So if the 200 BTC goal isn't met and you don't get any outside funding then what happens? If at the end even after factoring in outside investments we have a budget less than $120,000.00 USD we will first seek to establish a new roadmap for development based on the available budget. Once we know this, we will then publish this information publicly and allow those who invested to vote weighted by their investment on whether we should proceed. If the majority votes "no" implying that they wish to be refunded then Jewels project will not proceed and we will begin the process of issuing a refund of all BTC. On the contrary, if the majority votes "yes" implying they wish to proceed despite the change in timeline which likely implies delayed schedules we will continue distribution and proceed with Jewels as intended. I hope this helps clarify your question for you. |
