[ANN][ICO] The Nuka Token ICO

[DrearyUrbanite]

The game itself will have nothing to do with blockchain, is that correct? You would just use the blockchain to raise funds at this point? What's the benefit for investors?

[NukaToken]

A lot of people here are looking for a return on their investment. So even though this project doesn't have that, would there be any way the token would have value? it would be great to have some proof of concept to gain interest. Have you created any other video games?

Hi Wxrhino,

I will definitely try to take arrangements with exchangers in order to allow for token trading. Note that Nuka Tokens are ERC20 and I have created them compliant to that standard just for this reason.
Additionally, the price I set for the Nuka Tokens is very cheap (less than 0,01$) so their value can practically only increase.

I'm thinking of selling redeem codes for DLC contents in exchange of a fixed amount of Nuka Tokens. This way, one who get the tokens at early stage will have a bonus
number of tokens that will gain value, especially if the game will be successful. For example, one could sell Nuka Tokens to somebody willing to buy a DLC.

I understand your intent by saying that token will be cheap and will increase in value, but over 46% of 2017's ICO token completely failed. Meaning the value dropped to nothing. Additionally, the cost to list on exchanges varies from 25k to near 1m, which is a high percentage of what you are asking for development fees.

Are you saying the DLC you are developing will require the purchase of Nuka tokens and vice versa?

The game itself will have nothing to do with blockchain, is that correct? You would just use the blockchain to raise funds at this point? What's the benefit for investors?

I'll try to take two birds with one stone

The game itself will have nothing to do with blockchain, correct. But the benefit for investors are manyfold:
- a copy of the game (if contributing at least 0.01 ETH), this alone is more than what many investors have gained from half ICOs in 2017 as Wxrhino said
- NKT tokens at a very low price of around 0.01$, or even lower, if we consider the bonus system for the first 500 investors
- chances that the value of Nuka Tokens will rise as they will be usable to buy DLCs and additional contents (once the game will be released and, given that it will probably attract many players, tokens will be more desiderable and will provide early investors with added value wrt the original price)

About purchases with Nuka Tokens, redeem codes for each DLC released will be available according to the following principles that are meant to favour token values. Any purchasable content will have:
- full price when purchased using FIAT currencies
- halved price if purchased with NKT, calculated based on token values at DLC release (again, added value for early investors)

If you are going to be pairing the development of this game with an ERC20/23 token then please stop, just make a good old cryptocoin to go along with it instead of these tokens built on top of other coins blockchains

TBH the way this is described you should really be putting this on kickstarter like sites.

I believe you'd be using the blockchain tech to raise funds for this project, is that right. If that's true then you are really not utilizing the potential of the blockchain tech to it's fullest for your project.

Generally I would agree with you, but here I think I understand Heihachiro and I support his decision. I think raising money in the form of ICO has many advantages over Kickstarter and similar platforms. Like he said, token value could/is likely to increase, but that is not the point with this ICO. The point is that you get a videogame for small contribution. I will read more details about the game itself and will probably send some ETH. Some previews of the game would be appreciated and you will attract more investors.

I respect creative programmers who can develop something on their own. Tell you want investors to invest in the development of your game, but you do not even have your own website for ICO yet, and there are no guarantees that investors will be able to make money from this.

Hi stil55,

I don't think I got what you meant...I have my ICO website https://nukatoken.com. And the ICO has been already listed on 5 ICO calendars (you can find the links in the footer of the Nuka Token ICO website). This indicates that my project, website, team background (mine in this case ^_^) have passed a (maybe brief) supervision....it's something

Jokes apart, most of the comments I received on this thread was about potential weaknesses affecting the project, and I tried to address all of them in the best possible way. That is the power of the community in my opinion: we are all helping each other by sharing ideas and providing feedback.
For example, some of the comments convinced me to provide artworks about the game (they are on their way BTW, I think I'll be able to select and deliver them in a couple of days).

About the ROI, I have tried to provide more details and highlights about where the potential revenues are, especially for early investors. If you are not convinced about them, I'm sorry.

If you haven't done it already, you could have a look at all the comments and review what I have written about tokens and DLC. I'm totally open to any insight or piece of advide.

Hi everybody,

in order to provide some sort of proof of concept about the game, I have uploaded eight images about the very first drafty and conceptual mockups.
Note that these are not the final versions and the final result could differ from what you'll see in the images, depending by the design process and the development of the graphic of the game.

The first four links contain images of hand-made drawings. Among them there are two character mockups, weapons and armours

Then I can show you digitalized versions of what is shown above...

...plus a tribute (not original work) to the Fatal Fury's main character Terry (I love this one  ) that will not be present in the game due to obvious reasons.

Again, all the content is very drafty and it does not necessary reflect the final result. I have uploaded it in order to give some sort of proof of concept. I hope you liked it.

As always, any feedback is welcome!

Cheers,
Heihachiro

Who will be your team for the production of the game?
You don't plan on doing it all by yourself right?

Hi ranggenga,

thanks for your questions. As you can see from the website and whitepaper, I have estimated a 50% of budget allocation on the graphics of the game.
In fact, I will hire somebody to work on that for sure. Plus, as you can see from my LinkedIn profile, I have some first-hand experience about the video game industry and I know people who have already expressed interest in helping me out with the coding, but they do not want to be mentioned as members of the ICO. This is in fact a great opportunity for them to contribute to something without being "guided" by the market or by other authority.

I'm doing this for passion...I don't plan on becoming rich with this ICO. My ultimate goal is to create the game, and I'll definitely do all I can to bring it to life.

But, since "I believe in Unicorns", if this project goes well, I'll definitely develop the project further with DLCs and eventually with new video games! I really think that the industry is not putting enough energies in developing this genre of video games, that have a great potential. They prefer to do other stuffs. But think about how many people is using MAME to play arcade games from the eighties...they deserve the chance to play to those kind of games enriched by innovative concepts and developed with todays technology....without the need to pay 50$ to do that.

At least, this is my opinion...but I know I'm not alone 

[NukaToken]

Well done guys. tell me what bonuses do you have now?

Hi exhothusour ,

Thanks for your support.
The bosus system is summarized in a table on the website (https:\\nukatoken.com), but in short:

The first 5 contributors will get double NKT tokens w.r.t. the normal exchange rate (i.e. 1 ETH = 70,000 NKT). This is a 100% bonus of NKT.
When the first 5 have successfully sent ETH to the contract, the next 5 will get a bonus number of NKT of 99%, and so on untill the ones arriving as 496th and 500th. These last ones will get a 1% bonus (the bonus decreases 1% point every 5 donors).
After that, all contributors will get NKT based on the exchange rate.

So, starting from the beginning of the ICO, there will be a bonus of 100% NKT.

The ICO will start on March 31th, 2018 at 6:00 P.M. UTC

I would agree with the observation that you are just using the blockchain technology to raise funds for your project and not utilizing this technology to use its full potential in a soon-to-be lucrative and profitable crypto-project.

Good day, I see that you announced your ICO, but havent created a bounty yet.
We are a marketing agency that can help with the creation of bounty and raising ANN thread to the top.
 We worked with more than 70+ ICOs already (for example we have made Tokenbox bounty  - 8.4M$ collected;  Mold bounty - 14M$ collected). Are you interested in know more about our terms and conditions?
Sincerely,Alex

Hi Coin_trader,

as you can see from the messages cited above...I have already clearly confirmed that the game itself has nothing to do with the blockchain technology.
Nevertheless, I have also tried to make some points clear about the intent of this ICO and the potential investment prospective.

I hope this could inspire you in "investing" in my project.

Hi Pandarian (Alex),

thank you for your offer, but if you had read the very first message of this ANN thread, you would have noticed that this ICO is not suited for the types of services that you are offering.

In your white paper you say that the first 500 will be rewarded with a bonus and that all contributors will receive a free copy of the game. I am wondering about what is in it for the "investors". Do you anticipate the tokens to become tradeable on an exchange or perhaps that the tokens be usable as in-game currency? Or will the investors only receive a free copy of the game for their investment?

Hi jc12345,

thanks for your question.

Here are the benefits for "investors":
- a copy of the game (if contributing at least 0.01 ETH)
- NKT tokens at a very low price of around 0.01$, or even lower, if we consider the bonus system for the first 500 investors.
- chances that the value of Nuka Tokens will rise as they will be usable to buy DLCs and additional contents (once the game will be released and, given that it will probably attract many players, tokens will be more desiderable and will provide early investors with added value wrt the original price)

Being said that, I cannot tell you that they will be treadable, I'll try to make that happen, for sure. But, I would lie if I told you that I'm sure they will become treadable.

About purchases with Nuka Tokens, redeem codes for each DLC released will be available according to the following principles that are meant to favour token values.
Any additional content w.r.t. the "vanilla" version of the game will be purchasable (redeem codes) following this rule:
- full price when purchased using FIAT currencies
- halved price if purchased with NKT, calculated based on token values at DLC release (again, added value for early investors)

The ICO will start in a few hours! Keep your eyes on the countdown at http://nukatoken.com

Hey, DEV, tell me on what platform will project work? On your own blockchain or on one of the already existing.

The game will have nothing to do with blockchain. The game will be developed and released for the existing platoforms. First of all, on Apple store and Google Play store.
If the game will be successful, then I'll work for porting it to Indie Xbox/PS4 and PC.

Since it is not possible to use tokens as payment methods on the above mentioned platforms, I'll prepare a web page with a form similar to the current one (for registering to have the free copy of the game). Upon receiving the NKT tokens on a wallet, I'll send a redeem code for downloading DLCs and the additional contents, that will be managed directly by myself.
