Any progress on this?

The game itself will take a while before it's finished, but before that a celebrity will spread some Quark love which will be when the Shaq Fu Indiegogo campaign ends.

And they are making the PC version even if the PS4 and Xbox versions aren't funded right?

This is so awesome. Cryptocurrencies need to be intergrated more with the videogame community.

+1 i'm pretty exited to test how everything works using Crypto in gaming, definitely a step in the right direction Cool

Same here someone should record how it goes. I used to play this game as a kid and totally forgot about it until now.

Someone familiar with this? : p

An update at /r/gaming would be cool also which is a gateway to get gamers familiar with Cryptos.

I remember Shaq Fu on sega genesis it was horrible , why would they remake it ?

"Don´t let the french win"

at least that´s what they say in the promo video. No, but honestly: what´s worse: Remaking a classic like Monkey Island or remaking a game that was actually shit. Well, Shaq Fu was classic in some sense - so classic that people united to destroy every copy of the game Cheesy

I think the devs will mock the game on their own in the remake, but no matter how funny it will be, they will offer Quark in-game payments, how cool is that? It will definitely be a huge step forward for crypto in the mainstream.

Very interesting, this is actually pretty cool.

[At first I thought this was some strange redo of that miserable game for the Genesis/SNES; but it looks like it'll be a legitimate game (even accepted by O'Neal himself) and the fact that QRK will be used is quite intriguing.]

Yes this one is legit for sure, got lot of positive feedback at /r/gaming. I think i'll get a copy and at the same time to experience my first in game Crypto action, pretty cool

Yeah, I think it'll be worth getting. And heck, maybe if it's good enough, it can rid me of the scars of what was Shaq Fu for the Genesis...

If the campaign is successful, I wonder what route the game publishers will take regarding dealing with the transacting of QRK.

Still up in the air - I'm the one that worked this out with them

. Game isn't made yet obviously, so that'll evolve. From the wording though of their various public statements, it sounds like they'll make the PC version regardless of what happens with their campaign. The campaign is an interest check, as it'll cost a lot more than $450K to make!

You should add a * at the end of the thread title and add this to the bottom of the OP in small letters:

* If they raise $309,129 in 25 days in the indiegogo campaign.

Hehe, yeah, that might be worth mentioning.

Indiegogo is not Kickstarter. The money will go to the dev-team anyway. The game will cost much(!) more than the targetted 450K. This is a community initiative and also a promotion for the game. We supported them from beginning and it is good to see what we reached together.

That is actually a pretty cool. Great job QRK community.

Wow great job we need more of this positive in the space than the negative great work QRK miners and traders.

Imagine how cool it would be if we could announce that QRK/USD market was added on Cryptsy. If you add Quark/USD market I will come down to
Delray Beach to give you guys free Quark t-shirts. Do you guys prefer black or white and how many shirts would you like?
