Excellent idea, I understand that you plan to fund this via crowdsale, however I think you should also consider PICISI, it gives a whole new meaning to crowdfunding.
what you want most of all for your project is promotion, not just funding but also publicity, marketing, and outreach, right? None of that is available at any of the existing crowdfunding site. At sites like indiegogo and kickstarter you have to beg and fight just for search presences, but with PICISI promotion is part of the system. When a campaign gets sponsors it behooves them to help you promote your campaign because it increases impressions for their message. Each time a CC donation is made -- oh yeah, at PICISI, you can raise funds in multiple fiat and multiple crypto currencies -- that sponsor's coin utility goes up.
For now PICISI is another great idea moving towards reality. If you have the opportunity make PICISI part of your project.

Thanks! PICISI sounds interesting. Is there somewhere I can get more information about it?

I think this might be one of the best BTC game projects I have seen so far.
Excited to see where it goes.

The ability to purchase a card pack from the ingame store is useless. We can have 2 scenarios :
1- average value of the cards in the packet < average value of the cards in the user markets --->no incentive to buy cards from the ingame store
2- viceversa , I can start buying lots of packs from the store and the sell the card to the user market to autoprofit.
This is not true if the only way to generate new cards is by buying a pack from the store.

Yeah in this model pack in the secondary market are generated when someone buys a packs of card on the official store. This means if everyone is buying on the secondary market the supply is getting low and the price pressure is up until it's getting cheaper to buy from the store.
But anyway we are working on a better model discussed with several experts and lawyer.

Another thought: I think, if you want to make the game go viral, it would be much better to have a free to play model + purchaseable extra (rare cards, bonuses etc.). With your model, a newbie is forced pay to proceed in the game and this is scares lot of potential players.
Yes it will be the case of course. SOG will used all tested and approved free to play design.- Ability to get everything by playing a lot
- Ability to speedup everything by playing
- Rarity and premium items (driving collection effect and trading)
I will test Tower of Saviors. In encourage you to stick around during the dev phase so you can give your advice and experience.

though your monthly user estimates seem a tad high. But that's just me.
The monthly estimate are taking bechmark of existing games. The optimistic is equal the higest grossing game (Puzzle & Dragon) the realistic is the average of a pretty successful game and the pessimistic is taking a game that performs well enough. It could be smaller but we are aiming at least a successful game

This looks...absolutely bloody awesome. I'll be following this. I don't see any issues with the planning, though your monthly user estimates seem a tad high. But that's just me.

First specific issue that comes to my mind :

1- average value of the cards in the packet < average value of the cards in the user markets --->no incentive to buy cards from the ingame store
2- viceversa , I can start buying lots of packs from the store and the sell the card to the user market to autoprofit.

Another thought: I think, if you want to make the game go viral, it would be much better to have a free to play model + purchaseable extra (rare cards, bonuses etc.). With your model, a newbie is forced pay to proceed in the game and this is scares lot of potential players.
I recently played an android game which has, imho, a good balance between a free to play and a pay to win model, meaning that you can potentially proceed in the game without purchases, but the game is more fun and fast if you buy things from the store. It is called Tower of Saviors.
Let us know how the development goes on :-)

Mine value projection
What is the value of a mine and what is the projective value
To determine the value of mine we worked on a business plan. This plan is a projection on what could be the value of a mine. We do it the same way we would have done for an investor in the game. The main difference is instead of raising funds we are pre selling game assets. The decentralised nature of the assets allow them to be traded freely. This way people who participate to the crowdsale will have an idea of the future value of the items they will receive in game for participating.
We are also allowing people to vote on important game decision according to their mine holding.
The assumptions are based on our experience on the mobile game market as well of insight data we got from the industry.
Constants
100’000 mines will be produced in total
They will be given as gift, sold or shared to people helping the game production
The first mines will be sold with the higest discount. Then the price will increase until all mines are sold.
We will start the crowdsale as soon as the mines reach a 3.5 $ value per unit. Before the crowdsale we determine the value of a mine by the project popularity
The popularity is counted this way
1 Twitter follower = 1 point
1 FB like = 1 point
1 email subscriber = 5 points
We will start the crowdsale as soon as the mines reach a 3.5 $ value per unit. Before the crowdsale we determine the value of a mine by the project popularity.
We are offering free mines for people who are getting interested early in the project. We will stop giving away mines when we reach 5000 popularity points and the mines will start to be sold. The earlier you subscribe for free mines the most you get for free. The first to register receives 2 mines and le last 0.1
Assumptions
We based our assumptions as the following
Disclaimer : These are pure assumptions and the success of the game will depend from a lot of factors. Such as our ability to deliver the product, our ability to give visibility. The success of the decentralised stakeholder model as an amazing vector to create traction and buzz around the game.
Risk management : We have 4 years of experience running a gaming community and producing game with Moonga. The game production is handled by EverdreamSoft, a serious startup who already won several prices for innovation and business plans.
1. Pessimistic scenario
The pessimistic scenario states that for the first year of running the game
Monthly active users : 40’000
Average revenue per active user ARPU : 1.3 $
Monthly generated revenue in stores (iOS android) : 52’000 $
Estimated value of gems generated by a mine Monthly : $0.52
Estimated value of a mine 6.50 $ (12x the monthly generated value)
In the pessimistic scenario we estimate to have created a game with an honorable success without reaching anything significant in the game market.
2. Realistic scenario
The realistic scenario states that for the first year of running the game
Monthly active users : 800'000
Average revenue per active user ARPU : 1.6 $
Monthly generated revenue in stores (iOS android) : 1’280’000 $
Estimated value of gems generated by a mine Monthly : $14.22
Estimated value of a mine 170.67 $ (12x the monthly generated value)
In the realistic scenario we estimate to have created a game with a good success in the market 1 million monthly users is a good success for a free to play game. The average revenue per active user is correct better that the pessimistic scenario.
2. Optimistic scenario
The optimistic scenario states that for the first year of running the game
Monthly active users : 30’000'000
Average revenue per active user ARPU : 1.6 $
Monthly generated revenue in stores (iOS android) : 1’280’000 $
Estimated value of gems generated by a mine Monthly : $375.00
Estimated value of a mine 170.67 $ (12x the monthly generated value)
In the optimistic scenario we state that spells of genesis is a game created and owned by the player community. This model bring the game into the top games. The game is comparible to Heartstone or the most grossing games such as Puzzle&Dragon
Either ways you will probably agree that now is the best time to get mines for free without taking any risk. You get a chance to be at the beginning of a very big thing !
