Adventures of EverdreamSoft Team’s Members in San Francisco

Game Developers Conference (GDC), one of the most important game industry events, and Game Connection America, a B2B matchmaking event for game industry professionals, were held last week in San Francisco. Thanks to SwissGames, three members of the EDS team - Shaban, Nicolas and Markéta - were part of it!

SoG as a “Gaming on the Blockchain” Leader

We were presenting Spells of Genesis and Project ORB, and both aroused very strong interest among our interlocutors, as well as among the visitors of the show. Spells of Genesis is clearly perceived as a pioneer and a leader in the field of game blockchainization and was featured in a blockchain themed conference talk, as well as by Blockchain Gaming Meetup speakers. We also attended SF Bitcoin Meetup where we met one of SoG fans and supporters!

Meeting Asian Publishers

China is the largest games market in the world and Japan seems to be the one who decides the trends for other countries in the Asian and Pacific regions, therefore reaching to those markets is important for the global success of the game. Nevertheless, these markets being very competitive and having their specificities, we need a strong and experienced partner to be able to address local players. During our time in San Francisco, we met several potential publishing partners, acting on Japanese, Chinese, Korean or Taiwanese markets. They all were impressed by what we’ve achieved so far and the game mechanics were warmly appreciated by our spokespeople. Several publishers showed their interest in working with us to help SoG to expand to Asia. Shortly we will start discussing the terms of a possible collaboration and further details.

New Games to Onboard Project ORB

After SoG, Force of Will, Beyond the Void or Augmentors, several other games seem to be enchanted by the concept of the true ownership of digital assets. We met various game developers who were amazed by the idea and willing to further discuss the possibilities of blockchain integration in their games. It has been a very busy, but also very promising week. We see a lot of opportunities for the future of blockchain game assets and we believe that the synergies issued from those encounters will be beneficial for SoG, but also for the whole blockchain ecosystem. Now back to the hard office work to capitalize on the fruitful meetings we had!

Spells of Genesis Progress Report -  March

Sprint 3 “Killer Princess” Results

It’s  been very busy times for the whole team, let’s see the results of the latest sprint! During this sprint, our developers have been working mainly on the following topics: Infinite Infinity A new version of Infinity level is ready to be played! Now it really is infinite and it becomes progressively harder. Nevertheless, as we have a rewards season on, we are not going to implement this feature in this build, but we’ll wait for the next one. Localization In order to prepare the game for its global launch, the application needs to be adapted and translated into several languages. Working on the app localization was a big chunk of work during this sprint. Tutorial Improvements Some minor tutorial improvements and modifications have been done. Bug Fixing Several bugs, such as stamina refresh issue, have been fixed. Card Balance Changes Based on player feedback, and research to other similar games on the market, we have decided to increase the strength of epic and legendary in-game and blockchain cards. These changes are further explained here. Version 1.0.6. A new game build will be released by the beginning of the next week, stay tuned! Game Connection America and GDC Game Developer Conference, one of the most important game industry events, and Game Connection America were held last week in San Francisco and three members of the EDS team were part of it! Read more about their adventures!

What’s next? “Sacred Owl”! The next sprint, “Sacred Owl”, has just started and will last until March 24th. The build resulting from it will bring you several great features! Multiplayer Mode You’ll be able to start a multiplayer match by clicking on this button. Each player will be matched with a deck of another player of the same multiplayer rank. A separate multiplayer ranking system will be set, we’ll explain you more about it the next time. Once the match is done, a random level will be generated and the waves will be filled with cards from your opponent’s deck. New Levels Several new levels will be added, some of them using our new feature - moving objects. The infinite Infinity will also be included in the “Sacred Owl” 1.0.7 build.

Blockchain Invest DAC Acquires Around 500,000 BitCrystals (BCY) Partnering with EverdreamSoft to Support Further Development of Spells of Genesis

Few more days for Version 1.0.6. Killer Princess  will be available to play. My main concern is if it will be old bugs free or if it will have repeatable bugs that was once already removed from previous versions. Overall game made huge jumps in last year.
I personally  give little chance that 1.0.7 Sacred Owl will be the launch version.  but 1.0.8 or 1.1 , might be. May is soon^TM

How can those concerns be allayed? I've accumulated many screenshots of Java exception errors, but i never bother posting because there is no github repo and i just assume team is aware. I'm as interested in finding and reporting bugs as i am in playing the game. Just not sure of the process.

Earlier there was only slack channel #Sog-beta-testing , they had a google spreadsheet with all known bugs and repaired ones. There was also forum but was nto much used. Now. about a month ago we have new forum and most bugs are reported there.  http://forum.everdreamsoft.com/

It may take a while to distribute because of many requests maybe?

Make sure you use the Google form here and submit your nearest postcode or a postcode you can reach. Depending on where it's dropped, if a busy area, someone else may snatch it.

Hope it works out.
