SCAM ALERT!

I've made a small investigation about this team and their games which appeared from nowhere.

I've started googling screenshots of these games and I've found the website of real developers of these games:

http://npc-games.com/ru/



Here are 4 minutes of gameplay Sky Walker, published in youtube by some Guriy Protkin 2 years ago!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLRffjwnirY

As we see, all screenshots of Project X, which they showed us in the forum and twitter were stolen / cutted from this video. The game, by the way, looks like 1 demo map.

So, what about their first game, which is now has a name "War of the Magi" for this SCAM campaign: let's google it by the old name.
I've found a webpage in the Google Playstore (android app), but this game is already removed from there. Well, google cache remember everything, let's check saved page in google cache:

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:YkyRabrXLI0J:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details%3Fid%3Dcom.npcgames.battlemage%26hl%3Dru+&cd=2&hl=ru&ct=clnk



This game was published in the store 1.5 years ago! And in 1.5 years it got only 500 downloads and then it was deleted from the store on 18 January 2017, right before these scammers decided to announce their ICO campaign - what a coincidence.



Developers address in the Playstore:

[email protected]
Prospect Mira 131, office 3
Moscow, Russia, 129226

Lol, so they all are russians. But please don't go to their office to kick their faces. Maybe Yaremi & co just stolen these screenshots from that dead gamedev studio.

But most likely their plan was to collect our funds in ICO, and then one month later publish back that old shitty game in the store, but with the new name. In this case, they "did the job" and can take a rest with our money. What a shame! I have nothing more to say, you scammers. I'm happy that we discovered it before the ICO start, so people didn't lose their money yet.

SCAM ALERT!

Hope for this project to succeed, Project X seems like a fun game to me....too bad that i need to wait so long to be able to play it

source code?

I can translate in Turkish.  rezerv

1 project did not affect much but the 2nd project seems more valid.

Hello.
I made OP by the developers request. because they can't add picture to forum. How i am remember from junior member this is function available.

"More info" would be in words too, you know. And pictures.
But anyway, there wil be more info posted in a few days. You don't have to invest if you're not sure. All we asking is to give us a chance to prove that we are serious and passionate about what we want to do.
Also, we have a lot to show,  you could see gameplay in our videos. War of the Magi is practically playable,  but we want to improve  it more, and rework monetization, that's why it's not on google play yet. Project X is going to have a nice gameplay video too very soon, in a few weeks, probably before the end of ICO. So it's not just graphics.

Project X is just damn good.

How about prices? Its only accepted bitcoin and ethereum?

I can do Vietnamese translation for bounty. PM me if im accepted, Thanks! 

i second this. theres like no info but words, the OPs post history is weird to say the least, and overall this feels scammy imo. i will watch to see how it goes but i suggest everyone do some research on ETH tokens and the projects background.
Other than that just the usual "give us money for our idea, we have nothing to show you now but graphics" .
We see this everyday... :/

About a year. But they were on hold for some time, because we needed money to finish them. So we focused on our day jobs for a while to save money. And now we're ready to continue full-time.

No, I'm sure some exchange will add our tokens after the distribution, which will happen right after ico finish, and you will be able to trade them.

The money will be used for the MetaGold ecosystem over the next years.
there is you mean after ico ends we cant trade this coin? and need to hold for next years ?

hello is op only escrow, or dev team too
if dev team too, i think not equal escrow, escrow must diference to dev team can inraese trust

but i like youre project online games, is good graphic

How long are you already developing these games?

I love  turn-based games.
