Community Questions
Are the Stats the same up and down on the card, but for the different stat point?
They are three groups of five with no relationships with each other between Physical, Mental, and Sensory. However, there is nothing that would stop a game in the future from treating them together. Each game will interact with each stat differently.
Will docked cards require ram? For instance if someone is planning on placing a bunch or cards into the community pool, will they need to buy ram to store them there?
Each card will have their own identifiable serial number for tracking for cooldowns and docking, so you won't send the card requiring wax resources. They stay in your wallet, so it won't need staked resources for transfers for docking. A timestamp of when your card last interacted with our game, so some of them will have a timer attached to them. Cooldown and Docking will be processed off chain.?
What was for you personally, the biggest challenge you faced in 2021, and what do you consider your proudest achievement?
Tanzo: The biggest hurdles were the spreadsheet with all the stats for the cards, and the templates to get all the cards processed. My proudest accomplishment was the Guidebook.
Cryptoreaper: My biggest challenge was figuring out all the unknowns of creating a small startup and juggling so many different hats. My proudest accomplishment was building such a wonderful community even though it wasn't my accomplishment, but all of you who helped us build it.
Can the games be played on Mobile or any device?
Taergyn will be browser based, so it won't be available right away. Down the line it will be available for mobile.
Discordant Adventures will be on Discord, so it can be played on mobile right away.
When can we expect the release of the first game?
Alpha testing will be Q1 2022
Will there be a Free to Play Entryway or a Trial version, so players can check if they like the game before investing?
Taergyn is going to have a community pool where new players can earn without making a purchase, but not nearly as much as if you owned your cards. Free to Earn won't mean making 500$ a day, but you'll be able to play and win if you know strategy. A great deal of your winnings will go to the players who staked their cards into the community pool.
When people use cards from the community pool - will you draw all the cards from the same person "donating to the pool" in order to avoid having to track 7 cards from 7 users?
The community pool will have an account that holds all earnings in it, and then it pays out once daily. You will get a ratio of the earnings based on what was staked to the pool to make it less RNG dependent on what you earn from staking your cards to it.
