👽 [ANN] Age of Chains: Bitcoin NFT Trading Card Game since 2016 👽

Card Burn

The card burning will take place the 20th of July.

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.

Direct Card Sale Overview:

Card 001: Woodcoin's Guardian
Sold: 267
Remaining: 0

Card 002: Tau the Time Traveller
Sold: 462
Remaining: 381

Card 003: L'ourn, Hidden Defender of Monero
Sold: 231
Remaining: 612

Card 004: Electrum, Home of Eleg
Sold: 241
Remaining: 1644

Card 005: Galaxyboard
Sold: 173
Remaining: 559

Card 006: Meteoraboard
Sold: 421
Remaining: 579

Card 007: Awakening of Myriad
Sold: 2188
Remaining: 42812

Card 008: Starjumper, Hope of Qora
Sold: 1018
Remaining: 1982

The "remaining" supply excludes the card reserve planned for card packs. On July 20th, any remaining supply is going to be burned and therefore becomes unavailable to obtain.

These are the last days to secure yourself the first Age of Chains cards.

After the burning, we expect more trading activity to appear on the open market as this will be the only place to buy these first cards.
The Book of Orbs app gives a great market overview and can then be used nicely for managing your Age of Chains cards.

Thank you for the amazing support!

Card Release
We proudly present:

Series 2
Card 009:
Battlefield Harvester
Card Amount
Total: 6666 Presale: 1500

A simple parasite that evolved to suck up the life force of its victims and transform it into an almost pure form of energy.
Usually their giant prey doesn’t even feel the life drain:

It was easy enough to conquer this section, so now that the battle units moved on, it is finally time to get to work.
The primitive inhabitants are full of energy which makes them the ideal subjects to test the potential of our newly manipulated forces.
As they creep on the battlefield, the air is filling with new horror and desperation.
The wounded and dying realize that their torment is not over yet.

Read more.



Only 6.666 Battlefield Harvester cards will ever exist.

The distribution of the card is organized as follows:

1500 cards for 0,002 BTC or 0,5 XCP each.

Minimum purchase amount is 2 cards.

200 units will be put aside for promotional activities.

200 units will be distributed among the Age of Chains team.

The other cards will not be sold directly and are going to become accessible by purchasing card packs.
The chances of receiving this card within a regular card pack will be way below 1%.

The card can be bought through the Age of Chains - Official Swapbot: Battlefield Harvester.

In 10 days it is 9 months since this thread started. 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.

[starblocks]

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 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.

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.

Great to hear!

I'll be sure to grab some more of these while they're such good value!

Any upcoming date for your ICO or is it loosely tipped to be in 2018 and how much are you hoping to raise?

Thank you for your support and questions!

There are currently no details yet about a possible ICO. We are thinking about various possibilities but I want to make sure that if we launch an ICO that the token will actually have real utility within the environment we are creating.

Actually, reading through a bit about Exodia, it seems to be quite similar to something we were already spinning our head around, so you might be lucky.

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.

As a specialty, I created the first Age of Chains paper wallet and loaded it with L'ourn, Hidden Defender of Monero (MONEROCARD), the third Age of Chains card.

Congratulations to K4os, the winner, who was the closest in predicting the checksum of the Monero block 1399133 hash:



Retweets appreciated!

Also, here is an early draft of the Game Arena, just a very early impression of the 3D environment that we are looking to create.



You can also support the project by securing yourself our first Series 2 cards now. Your support is very appreciated as it grants us to deliver a truly amazing universe
and ultimately make our galaxy decentralized:

Card 009 - Battlefield Harvester:
(Current Presale State: 1150 Cards left)




Card 010 - Shah, Rune Wizard:
(Current Presale State: 836 Cards left)



Stay tuned for more!

Video: Invasion Scout (Card 012)

Watch our latest speed art video for Card 012: Invasion Scout here:

3D Arena Development Update

Version 1

A first attempt to create the environment we are seeking.
 


Version 2

The first iteration. The arena's ground structure starts taking the desired shape.



Version 3

The second iteration. Shaders and more details are emerging. Still a lot to work ahead but the direction is clear:
Granting the player access to an epic environment worthy the cards being played and the time we spend playing.



Outlook

Besides this, Waldemar and myself are doing heavy playtesting during these days to finalize the game mechanics for the prototype.
Creating a card game with rules that make good sense and are fun to play is a very iterative process with every match we play.
I would have liked to come to the release of the prototype this year but considering the duration that all the processes connected
to the creation of our prototype take, I expect the prototype to be ready by spring 2018. 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!
You are the ones making this possible. If you ever happen to be in Berlin, I invite you to a physical playtesting
Age of Chains match, so you can start experiencing the feeling of the game yourself.
