  • Innovating the Game Economy with BitCrystals


    BitCrystals (BCY) are tradable Counterparty assets which act as the game-fuel and premium currency in EverdreamSoft’s upcoming free-to-play
    mobile game Spells of Genesis (SoG) and flagship trading card game Moonga. They can be used to enhance gaming experience like buying
    card packs or unlocking new features.

    Why we are using BitCrystals?
    We believe players should have full ownership of their game items. Once a player acquires a game asset, they should be free to own and
    transfer it. Unlike in other games, we believe a player should be able to keep their assets outside the game database and be completely
    independent with it. Once they own a game item, they could even find alternative uses for it in other games.

    Our aim is to transform the free-to-play mobile game economy by creating a fairer economy where players freely share and trade their digital
    assets, the same way they can do so with physical objects in real life.

    A new way of crowdfunding
    BitCrystals were sold in advance of the game’s launch during our Token Sale. By purchasing BCY, you become a backer of the SoG project. This
    means you get rewarded with the game’s premium currency while funding its development. The value of BitCrystals is linked to SoG’s popularity.

    Since the BitCrystals supply is limited, the game assets that one BCY will unlock will vary according to the demand of the game asset.

    For example, let’s say we create a special card called the Black Dragon which will be sold for BitCrystals. We’re going to sell part of our
    BitCrystals reserve for players who want to acquire it. Since we only hold 15’000’000 BitCrystals – if there are only 15 players who play the
    game, we will probably sell the Black Dragon for 1’000’000 BitCrystals per piece. However, if there are 15’000’000 million players who want 1
    dragon, then to cover the demand we will sell the dragon for 1 BitCrystals. This way the player who purchased BitCrystals during the token
    sale will be able to get many more Black Dragon cards according to the number of BitCrystals he holds.






    Supply And Distribution

    Initially we set a supply of 100,000,000 BitCrystals to be used (burned) to create new card packs, game items or unlock special features in
    Spells of Genesis.

    70% were made available for purchase in the Token Sale (as described below) and all BitCrystals left unsold were burned at the beginning of
    October, 2015. 30% will be given to early supporters and contributors to the project as well as marketers, developers and the people who
    help the game grow in popularity. Some BitCrystals were sold to early investors prior to the Token Sale.

    The proceeds from the BitCrystals Token Sale will go towards the development of Gutenberg.
    Gutenberg (EverdreamSoft’s project code-name) is the platform which will burn BitCrystals in order to issue new card packs.

    When did the BitCrystals Token Sale start/end?
    The BitCrystals Token Sale started on August 4th, it ended on September 3rd, 2015.

    Game Fuel


    BitCrystals: fueling the Spells of genesis game economy
    Spells of Genesis (SoG) is an upcoming mobile game with a storyline based on bitcoin and game economy driven by its growing crypto
    community. By purchasing BitCrystals, the initial backers of the BitCrystals Token Sale will contribute to the development of the game. Upon
    its launch, players will, in turn, give back to the backers (BitCrystals owners), fuelling what we believe will be the first on-chain economy
    game ever made.

    When purchasing game items such as card packs in Spells of Genesis, players will have the option to use their local currency on the Google
    Play/AppStore or BitCrystals in the secondary market. Here’s how it works:

    A - When a player purchases a card pack via Google Play/AppStore
    Each time a player purchases a card pack via Google Play/AppStore using their local currency, EverdreamSoft will buy back 50% of its value
    in BitCrystals from backers (anyone who owns BitCrystals) and burn them in order to issue a new card pack.

    B - When a player purchases a card pack using BitCrystals
    If a player uses BitCrystals to purchase new cards and game items from the secondary market, EverdreamSoft keeps 50% of the BitCrystals
    and sends the other 50% to Gutenberg (Gutenberg is our project codename for the platform which burns BitCrystals).




    Token System

    BitCrystals are Counterparty assets acting as both the game-fuel and the premium in-game currency. There is a limited supply of BitCrystals
    which can be used (burned) to create new card packs or traded with other players in Spells of Genesis.

    How It Works
    SoG is being developed by EDS. The production costs of SoG will be funded by Gutenberg, the project code name for our platform which
    burns BitCrystals in order to issue new digital game items to players and backers. The proceeds from the BitCrystals Token Sale will go to
    Gutenberg.

    You will be able to trade cards and game items easily within and outside the SoG game app. This is made possible through Counterparty,
    a platform which can be used for creating custom tokens which act as their own cryptocurrency, while still running on the Bitcoin blockchain.

    Game assets in SoG will all be assigned a unique Counterparty token. The picture below shows an example of how the Counterparty tokens
    for cards may look like in the typical Counterparty wallet. Assigning Counterparty tokens to game assets allows them to be traded freely
    outside the game. Players will own their game items and cards not only in the game world but also on the blockchain.

    Game Items on Counterwallet

    The use of Counterparty's functions such as the lock feature opens up the possibility for players to lock a certain amount of rare cards in a
    public and transparent manner.





    Partner Projects

    Since we believe that players should own their assets not only in the game world but also outside, we are integrating some other cryptocurrencies
    into the game and thus creating an unique link between the Moonga and Spells of Genesis games world and other blockchain-based projects.
    Together with our collaborators, we have launched limited editions of blockchain-based trading cards. These cards are tradable on Counterparty,
    using a specific crypto-coin, and playable within both Moonga and Spells of Genesis.


    FoldingCoin is a token you earn by helping scientist cure diseases like Cancer.
    Exclusively for FoldingCoin we have designed the FDCARD, which can be obtained
    by folding or by trading on Counterparty.


    Together with Storj, who’s developing a revolutionary, decentralized (peer-to-peer)
    and secure cloud storage, we have launched the SJCXCARD, which can only  be
    obtained by using  Storjcoin X


    For GetGems, who’s developing an innovative Messaging App with a built-in Bitcoin
    wallet, Everdreamsoft has designed the GEMZCARD. This card can only be obtained
    by using Gemz.


    Counterparty
    For Counterparty, a platform for free and open financial tools on the Bitcoin network,
    we have created the XCPCARD, which can be obtained only with XCP tokens.


    Swarm
    SWARMCD has been designed exclusively for Swarm, a platform which facilitate the
    creation of Distributed Collaborative Organizations (DCO) empowering ownership and
    abundance for everyone. Swarm is also where we will host our BitCrystals Token Sale,
    starting on July 29th, 2015.


    Ethereum
    In collaboration with Ethereum, we have launched the ETHEREUMCARD, which can be
    purchased with BTC or XCP tokens.


    For Clef, who is providing a secure two-factor authentification system, we have created
    CLEFCARD, playable as "Clef, Warden of Wonders". CLEFCARD can be purchased with
    BTC or XCP.

    And many more to come!

    BLOCKCHAIN-BASED CARDS.



    Spells of Genesis

    Spells of Genesis (SoG) is an upcoming trading card/arcade game, from Swiss-based company EverdreamSoft, which will integrate bitcoin and
    blockchain technology in its game economy as well as its storyline. It is targeted for release in late 2015 for iOS and Android devices.


    A Game For The Community
    Our motivation in developing SoG stems from our desire to create a game in strong cooperation with the community. With Moonga, our main
    trading card game, we were among the first to have a free-to-play game on the AppStore in 2009. Since then, the genre has evolved in
    unexpected ways.

    We saw some of our players trading rare cards for more than 1000 USD, even if it was not allowed by the terms of service. A whole economy
    emerged in the game. This inspired us to conceptualise how we could go beyond that and leverage digital goods ownership.
