I like the game, good luck in development. I will participate.

Hi topesis,

Rest assured, I did spend a long time looking at the Eth tokens and use cases. There's a couple of reason for sticking with counterparty, the first is that working with Solidity (the language for Ethereum contracts) to manage tokens is still very, very rough, and very difficult to work with programmaticly. It's almost 100 lines of complex code to issue a token in Solidity/Eth whereas in Counterparty, it's about 6 lines of code. In fact, on the Ethereum page itself, it says "The token contract is quite complex".  I can appreciate that, Vitalik is a very smart guy, but it's not path I can really take at this point with the game development.  There are also some known issues with using Eth tokens that came to light with the Golem project that allows tokens to be transferred with a modified private key.

So for compatibility and low-risk, we're sticking with counterparty as the platform of choice for now. This is the same system that Book of Orbs, Spells of Genesis, Age of Chains, and Rarepepe uses.  This also allows us to work with those cards as well in the game if we want to adopt them into the gameplay. 

The thing is that cards can be left in your counterparty wallet and you can use them in the game, so you don't have to transfer them to the game wallet to use your cards in game.  Rustbits themselves are used to buy the cards, so you won't be using the rustbits to buy a weapon in the game.  You can earn rustbits in the game and use them off-chain, or move them to your counterparty wallet later if you want.

So the use case for Storj is quite a bit different since that's only currency they will work on. I hope that explains a little more in the direction of the game and why we're using counterparty and not ethereum tokens

I hope the team has thought this through by choosing counterparty platform, to send Databits tokens on the network yesterday it was asking for transaction fee of 0.0019, that is very ridiculous. I hope this will not scare investors. I also notice one of the reasons giving by Stojr team for choosing Ethereum is the transaction fee cost and even the ridiculous thing here is that the transaction has not been confirmed

Thanks 

If you see "Gandalf" in the game, he's a moderator and will tip you some testnet coins and give you a weapon 

Really a good game,how can i play a demo?

Interesting and cool game. I'm looking forward on this project start.

Hi, the first version of the game is text based, you can see a demo of the gameplay in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6E3yyiIl0I

If you played games like TeleArena, Fazuul, Tradewars 2002, Zork, or Colossal Cave, Hack, or Net Adventure then you'll be familiar with the interface and how the game works. Graphics and sound are intermixed with the text, so it's like a cyberpunk graphic novel that you play.

Here's a screenshot:

After the final release of the game "Chapter 1: Age of Rust" in Fall 2017, we'll shift over to developing "Chapter 2" which will be a 3D based multiplayer game similar to Guildwars (sometime before 2020).

Following this thread and supporting I like the Counterparty platform as well as gaming project. Checked the demo account which looking attractive that's why I'm quite in future this will catch attention of more players to use this game.

Can this game be played with controller and mouse?

token cards best for everyone even if you're not an online gamer, just collect them, hold and trade for some good profit later, just like holding some coins waiting for the pump and sell with good returns.

Glad to have you follow us, we will be improving the game going forward and adding more crypto as rewards in the game soon. 

Thank you Dev. I'm waiting for more commands in the game. And on the development of the whole system

There are other commands in the game, those are the most often used ones. If you click on the menu and then choose Help, you'll see all the game command you can use. There will be more commands in the future to extend and enhance the gameplay. The other day I got a request to add /hug and then /steal...    I'm happy to add more functionality and grow the game for the community.

Yes, we need a counterparty address to award you Rustbits at the end of the campaign, here's how to create a counterparty address:

Will you be able to buy rustbits with Ethereum?
Yes (via shapeshift.io) when the token goes on sale on May 22nd.

The tokens are Counterparty tokens which uses the Bitcoin blockchain for managing assets and tokens. This is the same system that Book of Orbs, Spells of Genesis, Age of Chains, and Rarepepe uses.  This also allows us to work with those cards as well in the game if we want to adopt them into the gameplay.  

Why not Eth tokens?
The tokens themselves are not Ethereum ERC20 tokens. There's a couple of reason for this, the first is that working with Solidity (the language for Ethereum contracts) to manage tokens is still very, very rough, and very difficult to work with programmaticly. There are some known issues with using Eth tokens that came to light with the Golem project that allows tokens to be transferred with a modified private key.

So for compatibility and low-risk, we're sticking with counterparty as the platform of choice for now.

Thanks, we have a lot people in the community that are interested who are into crypto, sci-fi, rpg, and card games. This project fills that void, with an attempt to be creative and have fun as well. Right now, an alpha release is out with a beta coming out soon as well. As work progresses, we'll continue to update the thread.

You might be interested in some more depth about the initial creation of this project in the project dev thread for SP:AoR. I talk about why I created this and what some of the inspirations were:

There are a lot of people who don't want to miss out on the ICO, so we're trying to reach out to everyone to keep them up to date.

What s kind of the coin?For eth?

I only ask, dev 
lately many projects uses for token based Ethereum, do you will use payment with token based Ethereum too ?

This is an interesting coin indeed!  ICO's nearing now, I'll watch that, but I'll be really stoked to see the final product in action. Once that's done, then hey I'll even pay to play just to see this go from a W.I.P that I watched grow to a working product.
