[ANN] [GP] GoldPieces - MMO RPGs Live -Online RPG Gaming Currency -NO PREMINE

[TeamDisaster]

Just some thoughts, why not announce a the preorder and the final price (which is higher of course)
The investors who preorder will get 10% GP of those buyers who buy the game after release with GP.

Regards

That's an idea.  The trouble is that I have no set release date yet (though we have a pretty firm decision to aim for December 2016), and we have yet to set a definite price.  Also its common to the point of obligatory to have an introductory special offer for the first couple of weeks these days.

I was hoping that a mention in the game credits and on the dev blog would be enough of an extra incentive for people, although I understand that a lot is on trust here.  I'm also wary of the fluctuating value of GP and making promises that I will potentially struggle to keep (or, can keep but take up a lot of my time that will then be unable to use for gamedev).

I don't know how wide the interest might be within the GP community (or, in all honesty, how big the GP community actually is!) - but I am fully aware that the vast majority of players who are likely to want to buy my game will have little or no interest / knowledge in cryptocurrency, beyond having vaguely heard of Bitcoin.  So should the focus of anything we do here be to reward existing members of the GP community or try to introduce a totally new set of people to GP?  Clearly it should be a mixture of both, but one side of the coin (as it were) presumably will have to take precedence.

As a side-thought, are there any online shops that accept GP?  I know there are a couple of HYPER stores, but not sure about GP?


(Sorry about the above... just thinking out loud really!)

I like hagie's idea as it will help create a demand for GP if your game can be preordered in GP by those who want to buy it with GP, and being rewarded for buying it early is a really cool idea as well.

Please do this if you can TD!

In regards to pricing and fluctuating exchange rates, don't worry too much about it, you can just have a set price in GP as you have already done, it can be separate to the fiat price you sell it for elsewhere.

Your buyers may have heard of Bitcoin, but when they see with GP tat they can earn it playing games like DK then I think it will help drive some interest

I'm more than happy to provide the GP that you can give to purchasers of your game.

At this stage there are no merchants,  there will be more in future.

Maybe we could have a three-tiered structure... Pre-Order, Supporter (Pre-Order with mention in Credits), and Investor (Pre-Order, special mention in credits, and GP back when certain conditions are met).

I'll have to think about it.  I don't like not being able to give a definite release date at present, but experience suggests it's still too soon to do that.

Can you PM me with details of how many GP you could put up for this and I'll put a plan together.  Won't be straight away though, I want to give this some serious thought before deciding anything.

Incidentally as well as the post I did some time ago (http://www.captaindisasterthecomputergame.com/2015/06/captain-disaster-now-sponsored-by.html), I have also updated the "About the Game" page with GP as sponsor (http://www.captaindisasterthecomputergame.com/p/about-game.html).  I will add more visible ways to promote GP on the devblog as I continue to update it.

Good ideas and thanks for the support.

I'm all for the tiered system. Offering up an investment program would be awesome, .

How about the current state of the game??where i can find more information?

Yeah, i bought some quantity of GP, also i know that u can win at CSGO 
Someone had tried the game?Or is better play (and win) at CSGO?
Also, anyone know where i can play at CSGO and win GP?At the actual state i have the game in my steam library, need anything special?I'm very interested about this game-currency

[TentacleMan]

I imagine CSGO are like the other games in the series that you "only" need a semi-fast computer (fast GPU is better than fast CPU), a low-latency internet connection (to reduce lag) and quick reflexes. If you're not an old geezer like me you should be ok

Here is how to play and connect to the servers: https://cashncarry.info/servers/csgo-servers/csgo-howtoplay

And more info here: https://cashncarry.info/servers/csgo-servers/csgo-info

GP is supported on a lot of the servers at https://cashncarry.info/

You can also win GP playing this MMO RPG at: https://dknight2.com/ you can also spend it in game for upgrades and on the in-game market there.

Unfortunately Inkha has been very slow to update us on Inkhascape, but there are other projects in the works too .

Oh and thanks for supporting GP!

Ha ha! Are you involved in a crypto called SPICE? That is interesting for me, being a Dune nerd

Yeah, I sort of adopted the source code after it "fell off" GitHub. Can't say I'm developing it though. Someday SPICE will become the next Bitcoin, just you wait

Ha ha. Keep me updated on how it goes

We're edging closer to having a final plan of making Captain Disaster in Death Has a Million Stomping Boots available for pre-order exclusively for GP, but a few details to iron out first.  Will hopefully be able to post absolutely final details before the end of March 2016.

Awesome! This is very exciting and yes it will be a world first

Dear players of Dragon Knights of Valeria,

From now until March 22,2016  all stat upgrade items in the Premium shop will be 20% off.

As a bonus, all stat upgrade items within the SWIFT shop will be 30% off!

As always, Thank you for playing DKV

[TeamDisaster]

Basic idea for Captain Disaster in Death Has A Million Stomping Boots pre-order:

- To run from 1st April 2016 to 30th June 2016
- 3 tiers (yes, it will almost be like a mini Kickstarter):
   - Gamer - 500GP - simple pre-order of game
   - Supporter - 1000GP - pre-order game and mention in game credits
   - Investor - 2500GP - pre-order, credits and 1GP per copy of game sold in first 3 months following launch

Caveats: I cannot guarantee release date at this time.  If we cannot deliver the game release by December 2017, I will return the amount of GP given +20%.  (Things will gone catastrophically wrong if we are unable to release the game by December 2017.)

My realistic estimation of game sales, having researched similar releases, is 5-10K.  I cannot make any assurances on number of games that will be sold, but obviously I will do everything I can to maximise sales!  A "sale" will be counted as any unit sold without being refunded before 3 months from the release date.

We will also run something to get free GP just for buying the game, but the exact mechanics of how this will be delivered are TBC.

Hehe I'm sure we could work something out... maybe I could put you in the credits as an "Additional Team Member" or something?  (As well as an Investor I mean.)  If you have something specific in mind drop me a PM 

[TeamDisaster]

For non crypto users who may actually want to buy some GP in order to pre-order the game (I mean, you never know  ) - what's the very easiest, simplest way for them to do so using fiat?
