Really good.

It’s not a walk through the park to solve the puzzles, a lot of the feedback from the alpha was that the first few puzzles were too easy to solve. In Beta, we wanted to make sure the puzzles were not only difficult, but still engaging at the same time.

I know what you mean hahaha.


The upgradation on the art work is just marvelous i must say.

A question about the cards and rustbit. so to access some part and solve puzzle player will need to have cards and/or rustbits right? are these like the main story or side missions kind of thing.

if its the main storyline and you need them mandatory then what will be the price of each. say the price of card are in absolute rustbits then as time progresses so will hte adaptation and value of rustbits. These cards for a gamer(usually kids) would be quite difficult to obtain in order to move ahead in the game.

one of the things about integration could also be some side quest/ smaller puzzle through which one can get rustbit rewards and then this could be traded for cards.
The game economics with rustbits must be quite seamless, will they be on blockchain comeplete or some kind of 2nd layer system?

That's correct, in order to go through the majority of the game, players will need cards and rustbits. There are subtle hints to tip off the player on which cards they'll need for a particular area/puzzle.

Some players will be able to solve a few hidden puzzles and unlock some rustbits and cards as rewards.  A limited amount of rustbits and series 1 cards were set aside to allow some players to obtain these in order to move through the game without having to buy them. I will say that these rewards are both limited and difficult to find and solve. Rustbits and cards have been exchanging hands through DEX/BoO for the past few months as well. While we want the game to be accessible, it's also a treasure hunt that if you consider the backend strategy involved, could go on for months or years to solve the puzzles. At the same time, there's 35M rustbits in circulation as well as thousands of cards that have been sold, traded, and collected too. It's a tough arrow to gauge between an open game and token controlled access, I think we got the formula as fair as possible, but I understand the late player may have to rely on their skills if they can't get them otherwise.

Interesting indeed.
I am really looking forward for this. i already know its going to be fun but i am not yet 'shilling' it to my friends till its released. Because first impression matters right, once its released and they play themselves thats when the magic happens


Will post some reviews as soon as its out.

If you're playing the Alpha prologue on http://spacepirate.io/sp  you'll need to wrap it up before Satuday 1/20 to make way for the Beta version.

Only couple of days left for the BETA release release. Do we have an estimated time for the release? I am way too excited

Looks really good! Great graphic works on your website. We need more game initiatives in the blockchain and your game and collectible cards seem like a success. When will can we see a beta in operation and be able to play the game? Can the tokens be used in different future games of your platform? Anyway, very good work and amazing graphics. Keep up this good work it's good to see indie game developers working also with blockchain projects.

the amazing project. project with token counterparty that would provide fuel for the games and also acts as a premium in the currency of the game. I hope this project will be successful in the future.

Excellent work and truly unique approach. A great way to make a point. On another note, not to be a stick in the mud, but I had a filter of mature content for nudity, and it definitely has it in the end. Usually this is not very important, but I was working on watching the video cg / vfx, waiting for something to be done. Perhaps it was an uncomfortable situation, if management and others were watching my shoulder.

Should be Monday afternoon PT when the beta drops to the server. There's a couple of small bugs, but those will be worked out over the next couple of weeks. Overall, I was able to play through the first stage of the beta. There's still plenty of finish carpentry to be done to smooth out the experience, but those can be bolted on moving forward.

Congratulations on a successful beta launch @cloverme. I used to like the game before, and I like it more now.

[feedo]

Good idea but one can easily stuck at some point in the game and it becomes boring.
i stucked after only 10 minutes playing.
also there were only few active players chatting.

[yaroslavskoll]

looks good!We need more information about this project

[retinger]

Do you plan to add the possibility of playing for other coins like RLT?
This is a very successful coin from the SmartPlay.Tech team, they are the first to test the blockchain slot machine in real casino.

hi dev, can i ask if where to trade or exchange rustbits token? is it already listed on other exchange? please give me details. thanks,

[candyconstantino11]

 good and interesting and since it's a fact that online gaming is a wide industry today, i guess this token will be a great investment later.

No plans to add other coins at this time and not looking to create a gambling game in the future.
