So if the game takes of they will bring back the crypto element of the game. There were more than enough warnings in the article to tell anyone to stay clear.
Fair assumption. In it's current state, blockchain is not what we originally envisioned at all. When we got into the technology, we had high hopes for it and thought it would lead to something less degenerate.
We would never add the crypto element you are mentioning. We are saying that technology does not even exist. We used blockchain as a replacement for Kickstarter and we were able to raise significantly more funds than most Kickstarter campaigns, we are not going to go back to blockchain and do another Kickstarter.
Another thing that is very specific about our project: we told our fans the NFTs we were selling were only game items. These were never financial vehicles or assets. We told everyone they had no value outside of supporting our team and our vision of one day creating this game. We were extremely clear with that point with our customers.
The game is in live testing every weekend, hop in our Discord and we will send you a temporary key to try it out.
