Topic: [ANN] CityStates: Medieval (CSM) - Blockchain Game in dev since 2019 - Seed Sale (Read 238 times)

The development started 2 years ago - as stressed before, this was a hobby/sideproject and has been actively and concentrated worked on for ~6 months only. I think for that timeframe and such a small team that's really impressive. We are raising funds now to fully concentrate on and expand the development team. I do understand the sentiment though, this is early and high risk/reward. If you want a safer project you may want to check back in a year after it's released.

A little disappointed to see what was accomplished from a project that has been years old, but it doesn't matter as long as you want to continue to finish it as soon as possible, not for a very long term. Then when we can expect to play the game? if it not full version at this moment, maybe mvp version is enough to satisfy people's curiosity for it, yeah to try it.

Maybe someone should send him/her a message then and ask?
Thanks for the Merit @MissCrypto but in the future better don't give it to new ANNs since it seems to be more important than the project itself. If some admin could take it away again, I really couldn't care less.

Maybe MissCrypto cab tell us what he or she found interesting in the OP that lead to merit it 50, it is quite huge and an unusual amount of merit for an Ann thread,
Anyways that's by the way, I expect a project that have been under development since 2019 to already achieve 80% of the development process but it seem from your explanation above that the games are still in development process, I hope soon more interesting news will come soon

Actually, not only that they quoted you and make it possible for you to show your images, they also make it possible for you to post images yourself. With 50 merits, you can pass member rank and allowed to post image.


I actually didn't mean any insult by this. Maybe a better worded sentence will be, "I am curious on why they gave you merit while you're still not fully launched and has no achievable milestone yet."

The game has been developed as a side/hobby project with several long breaks. With funds raised we will be able to fasten development by working full time and extending the team. The game is still in development.


I don't know who MissCrypto is but thanks for him/her quoting the OP to make the images show up. He/She seems to be an active member on this board since 2014. I don't even know what Merit is used for.


I don't know if you didn't check our twitter and reddit but that is an insult to the work the team has put into this project so far. I wonder why shitcoins with no purpose suit you better then.

I didn't mean to discourage you, purely curious, the reason why your platform has been in development for two years is because of the pandemy restriction or was it because that outsourced web developer who gave buggy result? And the game is now fully playable? Early access? In development?

And... is MissCrypto part of the team? Just curious because, although merit is pretty much every user's right to give to anyone they want to, giving 50 merits for a project who just launched their first public ann and barely showing results yet is seems... excessive

Not quite precisely true. The Galactic Milieu has been using many blockchains for several years; you can see at http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/digitalisassets.html tables and plots of Milieu asset values dating back to the launching of Digitalis' Open Transactions server, which was way back in 2012.

The currencies of the main Civilisations and Corps, CDN, UKB, MBC and so on, were each their own blockchain, based on BiTCoin, back before GRouPcoin and DeVCoin were created, which I think was before the original scrypt coin Tenebrix and its "fair distribution" (no pre-mine) clone Fairbrix were created, which of course both pre-date Litecoin which was a swipe of the idea by someone who went and worked for Coinbase thus was able to push his copy of them out to a wider audience to the extent that nowadays TeneBriX (TBX) and FairBriX (FBX) are almost forgotten save as part of the Galactic Milieu.

The Milieu has been woven into this forum community for a long time, and has of course evolved over time; see for example this 2015 thread about possible platforms to port its assets to: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/possible-platforms-discussion-for-galactic-milieu-1112289

Nowadays we are mostly using the HORIZON and STELLAR platforms but looking forward to the release of Diamond (DMD) v4 which is anticipated to have basically all of Ethereum's capabilities and more cheaper and faster.

Thank you for the answer. If they can buy the token directly on your site, that would be better. Gaming industry is booming despite of this pandemic. Actually, it is one of the industries that thrive during this pandemic. So if you can develop this into a strong gaming platform, you will get a fair share from this industry. Good luck!

That is the plan. There may be limitations on the minimum amount to withdraw to deter cheat and farming accounts but that's something we'll have a look at when we reached that point in the development.

I have tried it, it is fun to be able to play games while earning a penny. Can players really get hex tokens by playing for free forever? I have seen many game projects like this, in the end "deposit" is something that is required, without such action, players could never withdraw and turn what they have produced in game to the money.

We had development of our website outsourced to a studio which delayed for several month then delivered an unfinished and bugged project. We are currently working on fixing this ourselves and hope to be able to go live in the coming week if no new errors start popping up. Users will be able to register and have a dashboard where they can buy the token with several options besides directly on the SDEX.

There will also be a referral and affiliate program for users to refer and earn from referrals that invested in the Seed sale. This should grow the existing user base several fold from where it is now and increase sales of the token. We still haven't made a public announcement of the sale except for here and in our messengers.

Right now, the team is the one selling CSM, let's say in stellarx? Because there is only one sell order at 0.001USDC. So I am assuming, this will be used for your development of this project. Not many traders are really familiar with stellar platform, how are you going to entice them to buy your coin?

Trivia:

This ANN thread is the first public announcement of the Seed sale besides our Early supporters on Discord and Telegram.

CityStates: Medieval

Please read our Lite Paper and Blog posts for more in-depth information about CityStates.

CityStates has been in private development since mid-2019.
As fans of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), we are looking for like-minded people that share our vision and want to be part of the development - directly and through governance polls.

Hero NFTs and their equipment will be issued on several blockchains instead of a dedicated one.
To our knowledge, that makes CityStates the first game to use several different blockchains for different use-cases at the same time.

The CityStates team previously won a grant in the Stellar Community Fund.

Owning the Game itself + Governance

In CityStates, you can not only own Heroes or skins but a part of the game itself. The game has been tokenized on the Stellar Network and hodlers will take part in governance for development and receive profit generated by the game proportional to how many tokens they hold.

Hero NFTs

Ethereum was our first choice for NFTs, due to its name recognition, the anticipation of future upgrades, and reliability. However, during development, other chains have piqued our interest and NFTs in general have gone mainstream. We have therefore decided to issue NFTs on several blockchains, adding support in the game if demand justifies the additional development.

Game economy - all in-game assets issued as tokens on Stellar

The game-economy will be completely player-driven. Because of the low fees on Stellar and the integrated Stellar DEX, players can trade in-game assets like resources and goods they produced directly with other players. Our main focus will be to create a sustainable and balanced economy that grows in overall value over time. Direct sale of in-game currency, cosmetics, and NFTs will be partially reinvested into the economy.
