Rada Quest TCG for Steem Proposal System

The game

Rada Quest TCG is a game that combines the strategy of a system of construction and generation of resources, with the trading cards games. The game is set in the genre of "sword and sorcery" and has a player-Vs-machine and a player-Vs-player system.

Each player owns their own deck that must be empowered to win the battles against other players or to win in the events of the game. The generation of resources and the acquisition of knowledge through research will be very important to enhance the cards as effectively and quickly as possible.

Some of these resources will be of great value, so it will be necessary to protect them in a special way. The cards will go to combat accompanied by hordes of serfs who, in case of victory, will be dedicated to the looting of the enemy's resources.

The game will be in constant development. New events will open periodically and new cards will appear with new properties. Veterancy will not be a conclusive factor for rankings. Any player will be able to reach the top of the classification regardless of the time they have been playing.

The game currently has a token in the Steem-Engine market, TARUK. This token has two purposes:

In-game purchases: It will be the token for internal purchases in the game, mainly card packs, but also other valuable game items.
Financing: As financial participation in the project, the benefits obtained by the game and its parallel activities will be distributed among the TARUK token owners in stake. They would work as a mining token... with the benefits.

The release of a second token that will have the function of being a game item is planned. This item may be earned in the fighting and event rewards and could be used to enhance the cards but, in addition, it will be tradable in the Steem-Engine market.

The history

Rada Quest TCG is based on a story that I started writing in the year 2011 and that I haven't finished yet. My intention will be to publish that story, in chapters, in my Steemit blog. At the moment, and as long as I can't afford a translator, I can only publish the novel in Spanish.

The art

One of the most important factors that motivate me to create this game is in the art of cards. So far, I have made all the illustrations myself. For me, it is almost an obsession to create some illustrations that players can enjoy. I wish each card character could tell their story for themselves. I would like each player, when looking at the card, to create in their mind their own adventures. And I would like, above all, that each player was looking forward to the illustration of each new card.

I started creating illustrations almost at the same time that I started creating the story. Some of my drawings have been exhibited in such important places as the Sitges Fantastic Film Festival (Spain) for several years.

Over time and when funding allows, I will look for more artists that can help me in this process, but always maintaining the artistic line.

The Project Status

The project is at a very early stage of development. You can follow the status of the project on their blog: https://steemit.com/@radaquest

The game document is finalized by 90%.

I have created more than 40 cards that can be seen on the blog or in the gallery of the official website: https://radaquest.net/portfolio-item/rada-game-art/ (They are still insufficient to start the game).

I am currently in the coding phase. At the moment I have created several tools for the management and communication with the blockchain and that serves me both to automate the processes of sharing the benefits and to familiarize myself with programming on Steem.

My work situation is complex. I have a job that limits the time I can devote to the development of the project. Fortunately, it is a business of my own, so I can have a small flexibility in the schedule. Currently, and for family reasons, we try to sell or close the business, which would allow me to devote myself completely to the project. An extra source of funding would allow me to find a substitute for my work.

Why financing Rada Quest TCG?

I apply to be supported by the Steem Proposal System in order to obtain the financing I need to be able to devote full time to the development of the game and shorten the launch period.

The game will be linked to the Steem blockchain. I believe that thanks to its visual aspect and creativity of the game mechanics, it will attract new users to Steemit.

The in-game purchases system will help keep Steem's economy active as well.

As I mentioned, the development of the game has no end date, since it is a living project. There will be new events and new cards in play from time to time.

Once the project is in a more stable phase, it will be able to finance itself. For that reason, I set a 7-month period of time for the aid.
