Topic: [ANN] Hash Rush – Official News, Updates & Community Thread - page 7. (Read 18219 times)

Thanks for posting these pics. It was nice to see Hashrush office, mining farm and more importantly your faces! Did anyone tell Jethro that he looks exactly like Leonard Hofstadter of Big Bang Theory!!

               

               

I think this update has been by far the most exciting one for me. I finally got to see your mining farm. Tons of spare GPUs waiting to get themselves attached to a new mining rig somehow made me very happy. Like a kid seeing boxes of chocolates! Participation in Latvia Blockchain conference shows that you are not leaving any stone unturned to promote your game in the right circles. Of course, your next stop should be non-blockchain gaming conferences. And the biggest surprise for me was that you are developing your own lightening network for RC tokens. I think that will really save a lot of fees and boost the transaction times. Am I correct?

Waiting for more new news from you guys.

One team, four continents, that's how the workforce for Hash Rush looks like.

For the first time, we are all together, working directly from the main office in Riga, Latvia.

We'll be having a lot of news, teasers, and photos coming from our meet up, if you want to stay up-to-date check out our forum post

he site is a bit rough and the game visuals don't exactly match what we see in the game,but the game development itself is something quite interesting.I'm in.

 there is a great potential.

Great to hear your interest in the project brjameng and uservalera. If you want to have a chat with the community, check out our Discord server and our forums.

@uservalera about your comment that the game visuals do not match the in-game images, that can be explained very easily. Firstly, currently no-one can play the game, the pre-alpha ran from December to January and since the 18th of January, the game has been closed as we build it further. The graphics (3D renders) that we are supplying now are all going to be found in the game, however, these are new updated graphics, with much-improved textures. For that reason, if you compare the images we are sharing now with the old screenshots and YouTube videos, they will look different.

Alternatively, we do have two very talented concept artists (links to their interviews can be found in the second post of this thread) who not only draw the concepts for our 3D modelers to build from, but also draw key art and promotional art that tie in with our articles and social media posts.

To be totally clear, we are not creating special cutscenes to show off graphics qualities that we don't have. All screenshots and videos are taking from our development builds, the change is explained by our constant updates and improvements!

Regarding our website. That is a fair comment, we do know that a lot of information is missing from the website. We are in the process of checking out existing content and we will be updating and improving the information we have, this includes our website content. It might take a while (game development takes priority ofc) however it is pretty high on the to-do-list.

If you or anyone else has any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask us. You may ask us in this thread, on our special forum topic, publicly on Discord, or you may send a private message to me on Discord (username is Darkfall).

This project catch my interest.
Why is that, that is because  gaming is one of my favourite things to do.
And lately online gaming catching many people from any ages to play, I think this is a good opportunity for this kind of project to thrive.

Hey there everyone!

It's been a pretty busy few weeks, but we've got some exciting news for you!

Last week saw the start of our push to being talking about the actual game and project - something that we've not done enough of recently.

We kicked things off with our 'Hash Rush Aart: Concept to Reality' article over on Steemit. In the article you can find a collection of new in-game screenshots fresh from our developers build, a teaser of a future feature (not present on the pre-alpha) that allows you to upgrade units, new textures and art for trees and flora, an introduction to the npc's in Hash Rush, and finally a look at how we take a concept and change produce a 3D model out of it.

This article was just the starter as we are planning (for this week) to give you an update into the development of the game, straight from the developers. Looking to the future we're finally going to give you information on the Hash Rush mining pool and how our Cryptocurrency side of things will work.

The bigger news is, from the 7th of April until the 13th of April, the Hash Rush team will get together in Riga Latvia and have a week of intensive workshops where we will iron out many aspects of the game and the future marketing. You can expect to see new photos of the Hash Rush team, our offices and much much more.

Finally, I'd like to turn your attention to a new scheme we are starting to push. In the sense of openness, we want to make sure that if the community has any specific questions for the Hash Rush team you will get an answer asap, and that everyone else can see the answer. So whether it is game, project or crypto related, or perhaps just a general question you'd like to ask a member of the team please make a post in this thread over on the Hash Rush official forums and you will get an answer.

Interested community members may also post their questions on this thread, you will get an answer as well - but we'll copy the question and answer to the Hash Rush forums as well. Why are we doing things this way you might ask? It's simply that if a question is asked, no matter what the platform, be it Bitcointalk, Discord, Twitter, Facebook etc, everyone that is interested in the Hash Rush project can see the question and answer in a single location.

Feedback for the community
@Lontonbit, please make sure to read the rest of the thread before asking questions like that. If you do so, all of your concerns and questions would be answered.
To recap for you, no Hash Rush is not a scam, we are building the game and have had a successful pre-ico where investors were able to play a very early version of the game. We also aim to launch the game in Q3 of 2018 (this year).

@Dobrii, right now our exchange situation remains the same. RC can be traded on ForkDelta and EtherDelta, there has been an increased interest in RC purchasing over the last few days with the price reaching about 0.001Eth for 1RC (see EtherDelta for the recent sales/purchases). To be clear, we are planning on joining other exchanges in the near future.

@wgd, I'm really glad to read that you like the graphics. Please do not worry about the relative quietness of the project's marketing, as I've mentioned many times games have a very different cycle and we are well aware of what we need to do. That said, please do take Siddartha's recommendation and join our Discord channel, feel free to highlight me (username: Darkfall) or talk in private - I'd be more than happy to talk to you and get to the bottom of your concerns, afterwards we can share the results of the conversation with the community.

So what's up with hash rush was it a scam? Is there a release date?

When a coin will be traded on the exchange?

By any chance are you on Hashrush Discord? If not, then you should really come there and pitch your marketing ideas. Maybe you can convince the devs for marketing the coin, even when the game is still in development and not ready for even public Beta round. 

the game graphically looks beautiful, I am only worried about the lack of traffic, even in this thread. There are a lot of weak projects that have been very successful by ants hype ...

Wow, this is the latest update from Hashrush. https://steemit.com/gaming/@hashrushgame/hash-rush-art-concept-to-reality
Seems like these guys are gonna out compete every other blockchain game out there! And I think it will be better than most "normal" games too! What do you think guys?

Thanks for the comments folks, as always I'm happy to answer your questions and concerns.

Firstly, @Humulus!
It's great to read that you're interested in the project. Regarding extra information, I would direct you to our Steemit blog where we always post all of our news.

If you are interested in our various team members - please see this post as I've listed all of the team interviews there.

If you're looking for a 'team page' (part of the website) we had one up, however as we've grown a lot since the project started, we realized that our current set up was not able to hold everyone that worked on the team. Therefore we are working to update it and make a better, fancier version. If you'd like to see the 'old' team page, you can still do so here. That said, please note that this page is now very out of date; we have had multiple new signings since it was last updated.

Regarding a roadmap, that becomes a lot tricker as we are a game, not a typical cryptocurrency project. The aim is to have the game playable and released by Q3 2018 (this year), with an early (full) alpha and beta stage for the community to test out/play. We do not have the full detail of this yet as we've just hired a new game designer 'Rick Gush' who is giving the game documents a final look over. Once everything is set in stone, we will be able to give you (and the rest of the community) a full roadmap.

If you have any further questions, do feel free to write publicly/privately or join our Discord server and I'll be happy to try and give you the answers that you need.

@wgd
As always, I truly am grateful to have your energy and questions in this community, so thank you for that.
To answer your concern, I don't think that it's fair to label Beyond the Void as a failed project, simply put they very clearly declared that their product is in the early access stage - something akin to a Beta, or even Alpha stage. In those phases, it is not uncommon for games to artificially limit access to the game. From my view, the project is being developed and is part of the (real) cryptocurrency game trailblazers.

Hash Rush has a powerful marketing team behind it, and a powerful game development team leading the way. We're currently adding more polish to the game, completing new features - some of which are even unannounced to the community (extra/new/awesome things), and updating all of our textures from the pre-alpha. I cannot give a real date, however, marketing will be starting in due time and you will see the effects of it.

the project seems interesting to me, but is there any more information? on your website I did not see any information about the team, nor a road map. what about this?

HashRush[CM] i  mean beyond the void team of nexium, the total bad running of the project from the very beginning, all the community escaped from them. In desperation, they added a game of steam, token is no longer needed, no one is playing and they are still doing this sad circus

Time for a small end of week update!

Our big announcement is that we've just hired a (very experience) game designer - Rick Gush. Rick comes to us with a huge wealth of knowledge having worked on major titles such as Command and Conquer, Dune II, Lands of Lore and Legends of Kryandia; if you're a gamer you're bound to have heard of at least one of these games!
If you want to learn a bit more about Rick, please check out our interview over on Steemit, if you have any questions that you'd like to ask him, let us know in a comment on the article, or just post it here!

A few community responses:
@wgd: Which game do you actually mean? Because we're following quite a few and none have been released, at best they're in early access testing phase and not full released.

Regarding Hash Rush, hopefully our latest hire will give you some confidence that we are indeed an experienced group of people that know how to make and release a game. The theme remains the same, we are prepared and ready to do large scale marketing and awareness, however we want to be in a position where we can offer a more complete game for our community to try out.

@Sergiose I'm really not too sure what you're trying to say, if something has been lost in translation somewhere, or you want to make a specific point, feel free to reach out to us via a private message, or just re-write what you wanted to say and we'll try and give you a proper answer!

HashRush[CM] remember that games related to crypto came out a few, each is a big failure (no one is playing this) Without now marketing and hype, the game must be really exceptionally good, the screenshot can be claimed, but neglecting the promotion, after the release of the game and the small interest can be late.

I mean just dump, without any pump 

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here...

Are you trying to state that every idiot on the internet could make an ERC-20 standard token, create a wallet and raise money with it? Thus, indicating that HashRush is just another fail of a bunch of idiots?
OR
Are you trying to state that ERC-20 standard tokens are a great way to develop cryptocurrency wallets and connect them to real applications? Thus, indicating that HashRush is a great addition to not only the cryptoworld, but also the open universe?

Your last sentence makes it look like this: "People know what they invested in when they did and thus accepted the risks and potential negative consequences. Thus, indicating that HashRush failed.
Anyways, if you started using proper grammar, spelling & punctuation, maybe we could  understand what you're trying to say.

The advantage of the ERC-20 standard is that developers can easily develop cryptocurrency wallets or other applications for a specific token, such as Rush Coin.We can say that people know what to expect when dealing with ERC-20 marker.

I really cannot stress this point enough:
Hash Rush is a game, not a random crypto-project that tries to take advantage of the hype surrounding cryptocurrencies and as such it's needs and requirements are very different. What Siddartha wrote was bang on.

@Dobrii there are so many things wrong with what you said that it's hard to even start.

Working backwards:
"There is no news"
We keep the second post of this thread reserved and updated with all the latest news, please read that post.

"What do I do with their token?"
The token is going to be used as the primary in-game currency for Hash Rush.
To explain that a bit more, you know how when you play online games (MMOs) you always have a currency that you need to buy, usually it's something over-the-top like 'Rubies, Gems, Diamonds and so on, that is what Rush Coin will be.
Why is that important?
Well it all revolves around ownership and control; we are giving control back to the players, and this is done on multiple levels.
Firstly, Rush Coin ownership remains with the player. This means that if at anytime you get bored of playing (we hope you wont, but it's inevitable that it happens to some people) you can simply trade your RC for another crypto or sell it for money. That is something that is just not possible with the majority of existing games - once you've brought premium, you're stuck to use it.
Secondly, amount - if you're a gamer you'll know the pain of wanting to buy an item shop item that costs a tiny bit more than specific premium packs that you can legally buy. For example, you want to buy an awesome mount, it's fast, it flies, it costs 100 Gems, but the game that you are playing sells gems in packs of 99 and 199. So if you want that mount, you're forced to buy so much more than you need - this really is a tactic that MMOs use to get people to buy more. Rush Coin eliminates that pest, you buy as much as you want or need, you're never forced to get xyz amounts.

The list can go on, just think about your favorite MMO and the premium currency of that game. Everything is balanced not for fun, but to get you to buy more than you need, and you never really own the currency, you're stuck with whatever you buy, and if you are banned for whatever reason, there is no way to get your currency back.

"How can I use their product?"
You should read the other posts and they answer your question.
Firstly, the Hash Rush game is aimed at a Q3 2018 release. We've been quoting that date for a very long time now, and it's also available on our website.
Secondly, Rush Coin will be used in the game itself. Until the game is launched there is no 'use' of it. If you want to trade your RC away, you are totally free to do so, we recommend that you use ForkDelta or you can simply reach out to the community on Discord and see if anyone wants to buy some now.

"It looks like a fraudulent scheme for money laundering"
Really, I have no words for that.
We released a playable pre-alpha in December, we've got a video trailer of the game in action, we're releasing screenshots with update textures and models from the game. If you want a pump and dump token/coin, you've come to the wrong place.

"As a result of the ICO, it becomes clear that the project is not ready"
Again, this is a more confusing statement. An ICO is a fundraiser, If the project was ready - we would not need to have a fundraiser.

Overall I'd like to point out some very important points.
The first is, Hash Rush is a game, it's not a #random crypto project. Games have different development cycles and are marketed in very different ways. The biggest is that, a Game is not marketed by it's in-game currency worth, as such we'd get very little out of listing with exchanges now. In-fact, doing this (marketing via exchanges) would damage the product more than help it.

The second is that the team in Hash Rush consists of (game) industry veterans and many have worked on triple A products (gaming). For a product launch it would be hard to improve the team further as all the experience and know-how already exists.
