Hello future healers!
Welcome to the first official post where we'll update you with stats of the website and end it with a financial report on our spendings, current debt and other income stats. We already made one post 9 days ago about the stats after 4 days of tracking them so we'll be placing them side by side in this post as comparison and try get this post going on a weekly basis. The rewards earned by this post will go 100% to zingtoken as Hive Power to be used for future funding of the game.
Here's the chart of all time stats, to the left is the image from the post 9 days ago and to the right is the chart right now. As we can see, quite an increase in unique visitors and the daily visits is up by 100-200.
Daily Chart from November 13th.
Geographical chart of total visits from Nov 9-13.
Daily Chart yesterday.
Geographical chart of total vists from Nov 9-22.
Alright, for financial information, we'd wanna make it brief but enough to keep things transparent. We'll be dividing our costs so far into 4 categories, "Game dev" which will encompass everything game development related, "Devs" which will be all other developers, "Servers" which will encompass everything from renting servers and paying the monthly costs, "Art" which will be everything Art related and "Miscellaneous" which will be other things not fitting in the sections above. We'll also be giving an estimate of our current loans and debt to devs who've been patient with getting their Hive rewards since the focus has been on game development.
Servers: 71.566 Hive
Devs: 0* (see Debt)
Game Dev: 35,820.726 Hive
Art: 2,485 Hive
Miscellaneous: 920 Hive
Total spent: 39,297.292 Hive
POSH Loans: 15,200 Hive (already included in total spent)
For clarification, POSH has so far spent almost 40k Hive to kickstart the project, meaning the POSH claimdrop will continue until that value is returned to @poshtoken.wallet as earned Zing claims. The value will be determined by the average price of Zing over time until the end date of the claimdrop, currently 40k Hive of Zing is worth 1,064,000 Zing, and POSH has so far claimed 509,785.655 Zing (almost half) according to the top contributor list.
Debt to devs: ~28,000 Hive
As you can see the game is currently in quite a bit of debt which is the main reason we decided to move along with launching token distribution which in turn gets the project some funding through HP delegations. This is also why we're aiming to launch our starter pack sale next now that we know the game "works" with current game logic implementations and vision.
In brighter news, here's some of the current earnings of @zingtoken.
Since the launch of the token distribution we've collected 12,710 Hive Power in curation rewards. At current delegations we're earning about 750 Hive per day. We're hoping that the starter sale will get us out of debt and loans and help with growing the team and working towards scaling and speeding things up since powerdowns are quite slow on Hive and we rather wouldn't want to wait that long to catch up to everything.
We'll be updating spendings from this point forward through posts similar like these as well so you can stay up to date on our current financial state.
Anyway, that's it for today, I guess there aren't many other projects out there being this open with their financial reports but we're excited to see how this project grows with its unique start and the way things function and we hope you are too!
