This is really a great idea which can be possible in coming future. The way technology is growing, one day the dream can be true.

It sounds somehow interesting, but wouldn't it be better to "buy" something when the game is launched even in some early state? Nice idea though.

Woow,this is a great idea in getting block chain and game development to a whole new level. But now, I suppose buying land when it is up and running would be ideal environment than now when the its actualization is not nigh.

In case this is a scam then you could, of course, go to the police or report it to the SEC, and sue us, either way, we are a registered company so that there would be no troubles in retrieving your money and having a solid case against our company, we are getting our business account in the Uk right now so we will be redirecting payments through that and adding the game to steam in the coming weeks :-) Also, pre-sales and crowdfunding are very very common these days in the gaming industry and those roll on screenshots and videos, it sounds like you don't purchase many games or game a lot, but this might be educational for you to know and maybe you should look it up a little bit before shouting scam. Also, you must be pretty far-off to believe that I would put my own personal reputation on the line to scam people and my studio's reputation I'm not sure if you are familiar with our studio but we are an Icelandic team with experience in business, games, blockchain and a reputation in all of these, also Iceland is the most peaceful country in the world and one of the richest countries in the world as well, and with the highest income in the world and Icelanders don't generally scam people, we barely have crime, for one thing we have enough money to have a comfortable life and we don't need to scam people to get a comfortable life, we are actually ranked the 3rd of highest Income in the world, you can see it here https://www.careeraddict.com/top-10-countries-with-the-highest-average-salaries , but these have up since 2017 though as to inflation, also never in my life did I hear about an Icelandic scammer on the internet, I really should not have to be battling over people if our studio is a scam or not, it is ridiculous to say the least, if people want to support the game and help us build it, fine, if not then don't, its really simple, but it's logical that the people who arrive first in-game will be able to claim the best land near resource nodes as a "goodwill" gesture for the support. And somehow you assume that just because I posted this thread on here on this tiny bit of the internet that you think I am working alone on this project and this whole thing is a scam, your logic seems to be flawed, to say the least, the back end system of the game is the most troublesome part of the game it is not the front end that is troublesome or the level design, that is easy compared to all of the back end functions that need to be made and created and assigned etc, the level design is not hard if you have some good people that know their way around level design and have a keen eye on architecture, so you say show us this and that, what is there to show? a backend demo ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) the new inventory system? we don't have anything presentable right now marketing-wise and we will release something when it will be presentable marketing-wise. Also, these newbie accounts have nothing to do with us as far as i know. also here you can see the biggest scams in Iceland targeting foreigners that have happened in the last decade https://www.reddit.com/r/VisitingIceland/comments/4xluxz/are_there_any_scams_in_iceland/Yeah as you can see we are real hardcore heartless gangbangers down in Reykjavík just trying everything to get a buck or 2.

As it looks like an open world futuristic game, is it similar to cyberpunk (showcasing Keanu Reeves)?

Can we expect a long support and constant patches?
I'm not part of the team... However, I am a game developer. I'm curious, how long do you think a game should "survive" and how often do you think a game should patch? In my experience, as the owner of a game for almost 7 years. Weekly patches are nearly impossible (without a large enough team and/or significant money) and after 7 years it starts to become very difficult to justify adding new things. Eventually, it starts to make more sense to add a new game. Doesn't it? Paid DLCs are an option, but heavily frowned on by the gaming community. Lootboxes are a good way to earn money, but unethical. Anyway, my point here is to ask you what you think "long support" and "constant patches" means? This is the reason why it is economical to create a new game rather than try to maintain the old game. I believe the "long support" that he's talking about is the unfading effort of the dev team to address issues encountered throughout its lifespan. A team can only fulfil certain things especially if it has very small number of people working on this project. However, updates once in a while is very much appreciated. Yeah if you are going to do that then i agree, or releasing a DLC that will be almost like a new game, but it can be troublesome if you are always working with the core codebase and you want to add a lot of new functions and things like that, but it all depends on what kinda game you are making though, i mean if it is a single-player or multiplayer etc

A team can only fulfil certain things especially if it has very small number of people working on this project. However, updates once in a while is very much appreciated. There will always be people that complain you don't update enough, even if you maintain weekly updates. Depending on how your updates are, people will complain you update too often because of their internet connection, bandwidth limitations, etc. That's the issue in a nutshell tbh. It's the same in every aspect. Grind, shop mechanics, progression, etc. Some people want to be able to see endgame quickly, some people want a challenge to get there. "It's lifespan" is what I'm talking about. What is an acceptable lifespan for a game? If I log into a 6-year-old Call of Duty, it has fewer people online than my shitty game does. Partially because they release a new game every year, partially because I don't. Either way, you can't make everyone happy. Aha this is so true, but i guess you can never be perfect or spot on with anything, someone always has something to say, our team is pretty small here but i have experience in setting up remote teams and non-remote teams in countries where workforce is cheaper so that is super good for our game studio, I used to do so micromanaging a few years back that it made me want to puke out my intestines almost, at a time I was micromanaging 30 people or even 40 at a time and that got extremely tiring, but that experience and connections come in super handy now when we are hiring in our studio, we can expand at the same time as our funds which is great, I mean we don't need a huge team or studio, we can do anything with our current team but we want to make things better and faster and have professionals for every aspect would be great. I think people will get much more sucked into this kinda games because it has real stakes you know, it also gives great opportunities for people to become something great in the game and transfer that to real life. The end-game in our game will be more free-decision based, I mean you could run your empire from No-man's land or from Future city, be a simple mercenary who knows, it's going to be a free choice.

I really see it as a great idea, a joint game with the blockchain system we are talking about the future, but you should start to demonstrate how the development of it is taking a good path. It is a great idea, and I support its realization and development, I hope it is a future we can play it. ATT: Venedroid

A very interesting concept for the development of the game. It also brings together the crypts and the games, the best of both worlds. I will definitely track you down. Consider me one more follower and I think I'll invest in btc, and I'll invest time when I have the game in my hands.

The core team right now consists of Kristinn Spence https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinnspence/ (Founder, started multiple projects, creative, developer, music producer, story, gamer, marketing etc) Daníel Óskarsson https://icorating.com/people/daniel-oskarsson/ (Developer and artist and co-founder and knows his way around games a lot) Sigurður Benediktsson https://www.linkedin.com/in/sigur%C3%B0ur-benediktsson-01b96561/ (advisor, has been CEO for more than 10 years) Robert Stone (not official, but he has been providing some good advisor services to us) https://icorating.com/people/robert-stone-29944/then we have some interviews set up next week for level designers and other team members as we put out an advertisement. then we have a bunch of freelancers and pay-per-job people that work for us that are not listed who are micromanaged until we can set up our own office which I believe will be next month. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FzH5JPrs%2FScreenshot-2.png&t=665&c=xjMvmPFNoEWeqg) I see you have an interesting background as per your linkedin profile and you got to be the founder for quite a lot of companies and I assume you've made important connections that might be interested to initially fund your project right? Everyone is tight on funds these days, you gotta make do with what you get, some are only projects that made it so far and some made it to be companies, I mean sure I have some connections but why to go to big players begging for funds when you don't need them that urgently?, also I don't like that whole "corporate" atmosphere, I'm more laid back work remotely in your pajamas kinda person or at the beach or whatever, my favorite place in the world is in Thailand and without any tech near me, and now this is a pure joy and something that interests me as a project I always wanted to make a game that would change MMORPG's and that's why I am making with my own funding and not trying to rush it in a way, I mean would i slap my hand away if someone would come begging me to take large amounts of cash to forward the developement of the game, sure i would not refuse it but it is not the main drive here, also I would take it with a grain of salt because i have a particular vision for this, I want to create a great atmosphere and place where people can get together and make a game and have fun while doing it, it's not going to be all about deadlines and salaries, I used to work super hard on so many projects before, sometimes I wouldn't even sleep for day's because I was working without sleep and that kinda pressure is just unhealthy, and the main focus was that I was working on projects that I lacked true passion, right now I don't care that much about money anymore or fame, i kinda grew out of it as a person, i mean sure it's good to have enough, but you don't really need anything that is extremely overboard, I just want to make a video game that is good and everything that I always envisioned would be great and add all the aspects that I felt that was missing from games in the past, and bring a whole lot of people on board with me and make this happen and taint my vision with their vision as well :-) I also want to make a "society" in the game and create a viable economy, in a few years from now a huge amount of jobs will be gone and what is going to replace these jobs? what about disabled people who could be living their dream inside the game and reaping benefits from that in real life, imagine if you could become a big shot in the game and earn your salary through the game, you could own a shop or a business or be a warlord in no man's land, whatever you decide, and you can then earn income from that in-game, it doesn't matter what you are or do in real life, this will allow you to be your virtual self and have an actual income, this gives everyone equal access to a one-world economy that exists virtually. Anyways the pre-alpha sales are pretty much the additional funding that we need and want to get for some additional need-to-pay at the moment and we will have additional funding rounds later but right now this is just to gather the support and a strong community around the game, as we want those who buy the pre-alpha to get invested with us and not be "buying the game" that's why the price is 100$ which is a little bit steep, it shows dedication from both ends, but on the other end then the pre-alpha buyers will be able to claim the lands that have the best resources spots so thats a win-win as resources will be worth crypto, so in the end you are buying land that is worth more crypto-wise, so you could call it an investment if you look at it that way, but I can't really call it an investment for legal reasons.
