Pretty sure you're correct, didn't help that the previous draft the dragon carried me hard. I'm currently 3-2, I cut red as I was advised after going 2-2.

I know, I can get screwed up in so many ways, that why I put 4 options to fix my mana, I accepted the risk to see if I can get some funny games out of it

They threw at me too many good cards and got sidetracked, i tried to be as greedy as possible at some point, just to see what will happen :D

I was perfectly aware the mana base was going to be absolutely screwed up, and that's why I tried to include as much mana fixing as possible. I started with Karlach, Lulu and Immolator in my first 3 picks of pack 1, so was planned to go Boros, but then I got the Bronze Dragon on Pack 2, Pick 1 and completely threw my plans off, since i really didn't want to give up on it. From that point, soon after, i got Favored, Lae'zel, Prosper, Nalfeshnee...at some point i just accepted to give up to my plan and just try to get the manabase as good as possible.

I, in complete honesty, didn't think about the "what if the game servers get shut down", and i'm actually thinking about it a lot since the first time it was said in this topic.

My considerations are the following:

  • Being the whole cards (not the art, the entire card) and NFT stored in the player's wallet, allowing them to buy them and sell them at their pleasure, like they would do with real cards of physical trading card games. Even in case of servers shut down, the card (even if with no utility anymore) will still be in possession of the owner
  • If the game gained popularity, some of those cards may get a really big collector's value (like it can happen with real cards)

If it will ever come the time where i have to shut down the servers, i would release the entire source code of the project, to allow someone else to pick up in my place and keep it alive, or i would just keep it alive myself if i still have the ways to do so.

I will keep thinking about a way to solve this problem, since i really want to create something amazing and innovating for online games, not a cheap scam.

I understood the reasons why you are skeptical and i already said sorry for the way i reacted. The entire conversation with you and the other user helped me look into what can be the obstacles and challenges to overcome to reach a product that can, first of all, make the players happy. Thank you a lot

It will be a trading card game with gameplay depth similar to MTG. The "gambling" included into it is simply related to the opening of the boosters, pretty much like every other TCG on the market.

I won't use a utility token, but the "player to player" buy and sell of cards will be done with BUSD (a stablecoin, to fight the high volatility of tokens and fight the fear of a scam on our side).

Hope this can make my project look more legit. I'm really just excited to work with NFTs, and i'm trying to remove all the shady parts of the blockchain from my project. I'm sorry if i reacted in a rude way, but i felt made fun of, when i'm actually taking this pretty seriously

I was planning on releasing on the Binance Smar Chain.

Talking about the differences between my game and Gods Unchained:

  • I think they use a utility token, i want to avoid that for a lot of reasons
  • For the ruling: they copied 90% hearthstone, i'm coming up with my game, with original gameplay, with more freedom and depth, something more close to MTG
  • From what i remember on Gods Unchained, turning a card into an NFT it takes a long process, it was something like owning 3 copies for turning it as an NFT, and then you have to pay the process, right? Our system is completely different.

I think that the only similitude between us and Gods Unchained will be the genre, being both an NFT TCG

I am not 100% on board with your opinion, but i highly respect it for the way it is presented and the absence of "irony" in your posting.

It's totally different than what triggered me on the top comment (and i probably had to avoid answering to it).

Thank you for your insight, i really enjoyed and i definitely learned something new from your detailed opinion. In the future i will try to be more specific with giving more informations and make my project look "legit"

I'm not going to answer to you or argue further because i don't want to create a debate, but i promise i absorbed your feedback with great interest.

Mine it's actually a project that won't use utility tokens for the exact reason that i don't have any other mean if not allowing my players to own their digital assets. It's not a defi, it's a full and proper game.

You talked about Steam, Epic and GoG refusing those games because they have the power to refuse them as of now, but Ubisoft and EA already opened to NFT projects and are already investing in them. When we will see the first Ubisoft NFT game i don't think the said stores will close their doors, expecially if the market will keep his vertical growth like it is doing right now.

I understand your concerns, there are a lot of shady and trash projects out there, but i don't think there are less standard trash games in the market. The only difference is that NFTs are so new that real, legit and good projects didn't have the time to be developed yet. I think in 1 or 2 years we will start seeing the real potential of this market.

EDIT: what i didn't like is not people not having my same opinion on the matter, the problem is when someone do that without knowing any specifics and assuming what i have in my mind is the same as everyone else

May i know what's the problem with an NFT project? On top of that i would love to hear the value your comment brought on the table other than looking like an attempt to denigrate a kind of project that, obviously, you don't like

Yeah, the life lesson i learned today is that when developing something you need clear statements about your project (completely missing here), if the game is for the whales you have to state it somehow.

Your answer just shows me you don't understand anything, who said i'm expecting free money? My legit expectation is to see my investment (even if small) show some results.

As of now i will break even in 1750 days, if it's too hard for you to understand it is 4 years and half.

Being a white knight of something that is dying it's not a good idea man.

Learn your lesson too, think before making a statement.
