EverdreamSoft and All 4 Games Announce Partnership

Game developer and Channel 4 video game publisher to bring blockchain-based mobile trading card game to broader audience

Switzerland-based mobile game developer EverdreamSoft (EDS) has partnered with All 4 Games, video game publishing arm of major British TV broadcast network Channel 4,
in accordance with the release and publication of EDS title Spells of Genesis (SoG).
“Being endorsed by a solid publisher is a great advantage for every game developer, especially for smaller studios,” said Shaban Shaame, EDS founder and CEO, who added
“All 4 Games will be responsible for exposing the game to a much broader, more mainstream gaming community that we could not have ever reached on our own.”

Tone Brennan, executive producer at All 4 Games said he was thrilled to have signed Spells of Genesis.
“The blockchain is a ground-breaking and fast moving form of digital economy and I’m excited that we’re going to be an early entrant infusing this in gaming. The team at EDS
have created a compelling card battler mechanic that I’m looking forward to seeing released.”

The U.K. company will provide extensive expertise and guidance to improve various aspects of the game including graphics, animations, menus and other important aspects that
ensure we are meeting the high standards they seek in all of their titles. In addition, the partnership will help in translations, important for the many markets EDS intends to
release SoG in.
All 4 Games will also provide industry leading analytics tools and technical services which will help improve SoG and make it fit for a mainstream audience. They will also be in
charge of the product’s quality testing and publication of the game on various platforms.

Spells of Genesis has made significant progress since its successful crowdfunding campaign in September 2015, releasing progressively improved iterations — termed Seasons
— of the blockchain-based mobile trading card game.
“Since the beginning, Spells of Genesis has been surrounded and heavily supported by a very engaged community, whose help and commitment are highly valued by the team,
” said Markéta Korteova, marketing and communications manager at EDS. Markéta further stated, “Without the community’s close cooperation we wouldn’t have been able to
achieve what we did.”

After the web soft launch as previously announced, EDS is going to soft launch the mobile version of the game.

The company has decided together with All 4 Games to soft launch in the following countries: Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. The mobile soft launch date is tentatively
slated for next month (November) with further announcements in relation to this to be made in the coming weeks.

“A massive thank you goes to each one of you who have been supporting us and shared some of the most important Spells of Genesis milestones,” said Shaame, who added, “We
still have a lot to do and improve and are working hard for the game to evolve further. We are thrilled to have you with us, and happy that now the SoG team is even bigger and
stronger. This is a great time for Spells of Genesis and its future and we hope you will all cherish this moment with us.”

Great news.
May we have economic details of the agreement?
How much All4Games will be paid?
And with which currency? Dollar? Euro? Bitcrystals? How many of them and will this mean less Bitcrystals to be burned in the future?

Thanks as usual!
Fassa.
