Developing a video game that will accept Bitcoin

[InariTheFox78]

Hi everyone! First post here.

I have a third person arena shooter that's going to have simulated gore and weapons, basically Counter Strike meets The Last of Us.
I have a Business Plan and PnL I'm sharing with potential investors. We're seeking as low as $75k for a prototype/trailer up to $1 Million for a full production.

Is there other websites I can use to find Investors involving Bitcoin?

If you're interested, please give me an email to send details to!

Thanks and have a fantastic day.

Are you looking to remain anonymous?  If so, do you have something worth $100K to provide as collateral?

AFAIK no. Although there are many crowdfunding or launchpads website which accept Bitcoin or cryptocurrency as payment method. If you don't mind using crowdfunding or launchpads website, you can find such website by using keyword "igo initial game offering" or "bitcoin crowdfunding" on Google search.

No I'm not looking to remain anonymous. Great question! I'm very happy to meet Investors in person if they'd like.

Ok then, who are you?   If you post your experience and education, people will see you are more than just an idea.

Counter Strike has thirty full time developers.  They can add crypto faster than you can build a game.   Explain why crypto will make the game better.

You are developing a video game that will accept Bitcoin, not a crypto game based on Bitcoin, accepting Bitcoin as part of a crypto game doesn't take much, so you are looking for investors/developers for that game.

Bitcoin's relationship to those games is same as accepting payments by Visa, MasterCard or Google Pay, have you heard anyone say they are developing a Google Pay game?

In the first place, you should see this question coming; its unprofessional coming here asking to look for investors without introducing who you are or what your capabilities are. Your introduction is very much related to scam emails we've received in our spam inbox.
Remember, we are all anonymous here, and trust is something you have to establish first when it comes to money.

I'd only give those details to someone that would take it seriously. Real investors understand my original message, and many of these questions you're assuming aren't answered, are in the plan lol. Anyone that's interested would give me an email to send details to.

Trust isn't something you can ever establish in a forum environment, so there's no point trying to convince people that don't care in the first place.

Any of the big games don't take bitcoin as payment. Everything else about the game that makes it stand out are explained in the proper channels.

So first, you've got to make a game, and then make it big. Then, you should be able to add Bitcoin payment gateways to it easily. No Crypto investor would invest in a game that uses Bitcoin as just a mode of payment and is not exactly based on the blockchain. You should look into the usual VCs that fund games in the development phase. It's a good shot to give it a try here but I doubt you'd find many investors.

Real investors see hundreds of ideas.   We'll just assume that's all you have, since you won't give more details.

I mean just because they're being skeptical doesn't mean they don't care about your ideas. Even if you try to to contact VC or something similar I'm sure they'll ask you tons of questions too. Besides, who's to say some whales don't lurk around in this forum trying to find a start-up to burn their money? Being dismissive would reduce the chance for them to notice your project. It's worth it to provide a short whitepaper explaining your ideas and your portfolio here. You can reuse those materials for other channels if you want to.

Why do you think serious investors don't read this?
I got the impression that you see investors as idiots who bathe in money and have no idea where to spend their money, even though they have a great desire to do so.

OK, you have an idea, instead of explaining to everyone individually via email, you can certainly provide some details to save time, both yours and potential investors.

The range of money that interests you is very large, $75k up to $1mil. Can you at least state how that money would be spent?
This is quite flat and seems very frivolous.

Within seconds these games can accept Bitcoin via a centralized payment gateway and receive payments in dollars or within minutes by setting up a payment gateway via btcPayserver or any open source service.
if your idea is a blockchain-based game, adding details will be necessary.

What are those proper channels, via Email? There are many reasons why members will be reluctant to receive an email from you, at least for now. If you believe that the game you want to build has stand-out features, then make them available in this topic, if 'investors' like the idea, then they can 'arrange' for subsequent discussions with you off the forum.

That seems a weird assertion, unless somehow forums are a worse medium to use for such things than the IRC channels that I think preceded the launch of these forums?

Plenty of trust was built way back on IRC why would it be harder to do on forums?

Do you maybe think the bots nano and maybe others eventually deployed on IRC make such a big difference in what kind of trust can grow?

Do you remember the early futures system built by that Rumanian chap who supposedly died at sea or somesuch eventually?

Seems to me quite a lot of trust managed to exist in some cases even without the full identity revelations that some used as part of how they built trust.

So I have to agree your whole approach seems rather suspect really.

All that is before getting to the big point others have harped on that once you have a game, you can talk about having it accept bitcoin, but until you actually go get your game built there really isn't anything to talk about adding the accepting of bitcoin to.

At least with my own (meta)game crypto is pretty fundamental which since ultimately all the cryptos rest upon bitcoin means bitcoin is fundamental.


(Bitcoin is actually assumed in the Galactic Milieu to be the currency of the most advanced civilisation, the Hackers, whose technology is sufficiently advanced as to most likely be "indistinguishable from magic". It is they from whom the Martians, and thence various other Milieu civilisations, got blockchain technology and it was via Milieu agencies preparing the planet known as Earth to join the Milieu that the agent pseudonymously known as Satoshi introduced bitcoin to Earth...)

THe most advanced civilizations probably use a form of quantum currency.  That way, all your bills can be paid at once using the same money.

Hi! I don't think you'll find a legitimate investor via any website because investors don't visit forums or social networks to get business deals done and there are too many scammers online. But I think that meet ups are your best bet. Attend meetups, talk with new people, share your ideas, listen to them, get their contact information, create your contact card and give it to them.

I am not an investor, not game developer, so, I can't help you but I would really wanna hear your idea. What do you plan? Will users be able to buy things with Bitcoin payments? Or do you plan to create a P2P game where users will be able to play against each other with Bitcoin? Please, share a brief information about it.

This is the best response I have received. I've gone to events but there was no actual investors there, just other people trying to start a business.

Bitcoin isn't really a focus at all on what the game is. I will say there is a new control scheme meant to push third person shooters forward. And a monetary scheme that has no battle passes, and is fair but also has lot's of potential. That is all I will disclose in a public forum. Thanks.
