bitwho is certainly living up to his namesake.

Sorry. i like your idea but i feel its a bit skeptical to invest on something that will lunch in july and who knows what kind of sales it will have. so i have a few question. Maybe these question are answered somewhere else but i need to ask them.

Who :
Who are you guys? i see that you posted a little information, but you are still very anonymous. Who are you ? Who is you partner? Do you have a company registered ? Does this project have anything registered? facebook? twitter?

What:
What exactly am i buying if i go with tier II option. %0.1 percent of what? Game sales ? whole company?
How will i be legally bonded to this shares?  How will i know i will always own %0.1 percent times each share? what will stop you guys from giving up and not paying us? How will we see what the actual sales margin are? If you go big and start having accessories sold such as games controllers, graphic cloth wear ,etc are we still going to be considered as owner of %0.1 shares?

Why :
Why should i invest. I know this is a harsh question and every project is a vision to the developers but i need you to give us your hindsight. Why do you need the money? if you so confident in your game and its design why not borrow from relatives/banks and own it %100?

Where:
Where do you see your self, the company and the game 6 months, 1 year, 2 year and and possible 5 years from now? Again, this is probably a harsh questions but i will need to know how far of a vision you guys have. Where is the limmit?

How:
How are you prepared to push this to mass market? How is your team going to push for this to get to reach the above goals?


thanks you. will be watching closely and waiting in anticipation for your answers. Please try to be as much detailed as possible

Heya,

Nope, just out for the weekend, sorry I couldn't answer sooner guys.

We're still working hard and putting lots and lots of night hours on the video, site and a first small gameplay version; but essentially I'm having everything on hold here until we can finish those things and reboot the campaign in Reddit to a greater audience. We extended our timeframe (from this past weekend) on this so as to have as most as we can ready for this Saturday 1st, on which we're going to the Bitcoin Hackathon here in Buenos Aires and presenting there as well (everything should be ready by then, except maybe the gameplay demo).

This is also (to a lesser extent) to let the current Gox crisis settle down a bit. We are finding most people very unsure of what to do right now and reluctant to go about investing at this (quite) particular moment.

Rest assured, there'll be no goxxxing here.

 

Did voodah go missing?

Any update on whatz happening here ? Have we got enough funding

Still needs ~8 BTC until the the 20% mark.

How's the fundraiser going? Seems dead :/

Wait, why exactly do you have it limited to a date in March ?
Why not keep open the campaign till until this sells ?
Thanks for your prompt replies,

Ok quoting for proof.

Hey there,

We're currently at 3.9 BTC out of the ~12 initial target.

I'm sorry I haven't posted these last few days, we're working hard on getting the site up and the teaser video (it's taking a couple days longer than we hoped). We'll hopefully have all of that ready in two or three more days, and will relaunch the remainder of the campaign both here and Reddit as well (it's only here so far). More PR articles are also on the hold until we have this new stuff, so as to give this a good bump as we enter the remainder month of the campaign.

As Loaded said: Expect (more of us in the next few days !)

Can you give an update on amount funded and stuff ?
( I hope you guys get enough before the due date )

I've been investing in tonnes of Ponzis and HYIPs and failing

Thank you, and quoting for proof.

Thanks for these kind of talks, I really appreciate all honest debate (and thanks Alias for your spot on words as well).

And yes, I understand your concerns. When I was thinking through this whole process, your concern was my main one as well. I disliked how Kickstarter gives nothing back to backers who put above the minimum, and I wanted to reward our backers with a stake in the game's success. I thought long and hard about how to do it in a way that makes achieving full ROI a reality, instead of an impossible (as has happened to me in other investments like mining).

Right off the bat, the first consideration was to not auction the shares. If I let the share price go sky high, no one would ever get ROI. Thus we did this with a capped maximum funding and fixed % equity based on the USD value put in. So naturally, next came thinking of the actual numbers to make it work as I intended. I did a lot of research on the sales data of indie games, they're infrastructure and the relationship with Steam, Desura and the mess the industry is in right now regarding the Bundle sales. The chosen numbers reflect my plan of having the backers get full ROI before 2500 copies are sold, which is a ballpark number of what an unknown non-megasuccessful indie game typically makes if it can NOT manage to go into Steam. This is the "floor", unless your game is utter shit and nobody ever wants to touch it.

So the key here is of course, distribution; and the king is of course Steam. Once a game gets into Steam, poor sales are usually in the order of 10k copies sold (consider Steam gets a big NDA protected cut of that). At the very beginning I even considered forgoing and shunning off Steam because they don't yet accept BTC, but after careful analysis of the industry and going through the numbers over and over, it became clear that Steam is an integral part of success, and furthermore, if we want to change Steam's view on Bitcoin, doing it from the inside would also yield better results than trying to be the outcast martyr.  

Now everyone in the industry knows, actually getting your first couple of games on Steam is easier said than done. Greenlight did not shape out to be the great tool it was supposed to be, and some successful games (with over 25k copies sold prior to Steam) had to wait close to a year inside Greenlight before getting on the actual platform. We're getting things ready for Greenlight but at the same time, we're receiving guidance from other devs and our investors (one of em actually had a video game company which later he sold) that the best plan is to not just sit idly on Greenlight but to contact Steam internally. So that's our game plan with two attack vectors: one of our investors is already published and has a working relation with Steam, and we're also real life friends with someone who knows and worked with Bruno Carlucci (for those who don't know him, he's an Argentine, e-sports data analyst and caster on James "2GD" Harding's team who are actively working with Valve and main casters of their BIG events; if you've watched Valve's The International, he's the caster with the crazy suits and outfits). Hopefully, between those things and Greenlight we'll have a quicker entry to the store.

I invite you to check this post as well for extended sales data (a very hard to find subject because of NDA and store clauses):

These guys have done a pretty good compilation of most of the indie sales data available.

Anyway, I see you bought a share before I could give you this answer, so thank you so very much ! We'll do our best to not let you guys down !
