RE: Building the First Blockchain Board Game
This is the first I have heard of this product, but it sounds like it would be right up my alley.
You mention that you want to publish a board game, yet you talk about the costs of coding. Are you planning a boardgame with a large app component of some sort?
Funding-wise, I do think crowdfunding might be an option. You might even want to consider releasing a token of some sort, that could be traded for the game when it is released? (I am not aware of anybody already doing this, but I see no reason why it would not work)
If you do go the slow option, I would recommend posting regular updates, which has the double advantage of building up interest, and, through the wonders of Steem providing some funding.
Good observation! The truth of the matter is that this game was always meant to be a computer game from the start. But when I sat down to write the code, I realized I didn't yet know what the rules were or exactly how the game should work.
After watching a video by TheHappieCat (https://www.youtube.com/user/TheHappieCat), she pointed out that people looking to get in to the game business would benefit greatly from designing a board game first. I didn't think much about it at first, until I started on this project. As it turns out, she could not have been more correct.
The initial product was intended to be computer game, but now I see the potential for the board game, a mobile app, and a follow on computer game. The nature of this particular game is perfectly suited to every platform, which is an unusual circumstance. Few games have such broad potential.
Regarding the tokens you mentioned, the team is with you on that. There is an incredible opportunity to integrate cryptocurrency, on a variety of levels. There is no question we will do that when the time is right.
Thanks for your thoughts and feedback. Always appreciated!
Well, in that case, I would recommend starting with one at a time, maybe do the boardgame first? (That may be my bias showing, since I love boardgames)
We are doing exactly that! Mostly because that's all I can do. It is my plan to parlay the board game profits in to the development of the mobile app. And from there, a deeper, richer, more expansive, full scale computer game. But yeah, at this time, with the resources and technical expertise I currently possess, the board game is the best I can do currently.
