As we posted previously, we are having a presale event this week. Now it’s time to uncover what exactly it is going to look like.

There are three mainstream kinds of items we are selling, and two special custom offers.

1) Level-15 Star Heroes

Most people in the town are born level-0 peasants, but these were born level-15 kings. Moreover, they are unique: no other character will ever have the same look. These are collectible and unique, and they have maxed-out stats of course.

Nobody has the precise idea how huge ETH.TOWN will be, so the price of such characters is unpredictable. Therefore, we just sell them to the highest bidders in an open auction. The auction is powered by an Ethereum smart contract of course.

The winner of each auction also gets a bonus of Investor Tokens proportional to the final price.

2) Floor Crowdsale

The Crypto Tower houses a lot of floors. Each one is unique, it’s hand-crafted by our talented artists and has unique features. The DAO Hacker’s floor is on sale now.

Each floor has an owner. In this section of the presale, everyone has the ability to pre-purchase a piece of the DAO Hacker’s floor and own it when the game is released. The floor ownership comes with all the regular perks per floor rules (which aren’t disclosed before the launch, sorry), and our unique game mechanics ensure you will get a return with profit on top.

There’s a catch though: you can’t put more than 1 ETH in. It’s supposed to be a crowd sale, not a single person or two buying out the entire floor, there would be no fun in that.

Same here, each portion of the floor comes with a bonus of Investor Tokens, much more than you’ll be getting in the game.

3) Level 7 characters.

These aren’t as cool as the stars, but you can have them right here and right now. We’ll be selling these at prices from 40% to 80% of what will be their effective price in the game. Why “effective price”? Because you won’t actually be able to just buy them for Ether or upgrade with Ether, this option is only available at the presale. The price will start from the lowest in range and rise with each character sold.

These are not unique like the Stars are, they are still hard to come by. In the game, you’d need to both win an auction, and then spend Investor Tokens and time to raise one similar to these. Here, they are come ready to play with.

If you buy 3 characters or more, you get added to a draw where 3 Dice genes will be distributed. This means one of the characters could get the “Dice gene”. Owners of characters with this gene will be getting revenue from the Dice mini-game.

The usual bonus of Investor Tokens is included with each purchase.

4) Special offer: Custom Character

Not content with having just a random character? We can craft your very own unique character. It can be you, your friend, your boss, your mom. It can’t be a celebrity (unless you are that celebrity). Buy at least 5 Level-7 characters, and we’ll make one for you! To use this offer, send us the picture and transaction ID to face@eth.town.

5) Even more special offer: Custom Floor

Normally it’s just up to us to decide what floors in the tower look like and who inhabits them. However, there’s one spot reserved for someone who wants to have their company featured! If you are up to having your own floor in the game, let us know at omg@eth.town to get a quote. This will be a private auction.

TOKENS BONUSES

With each of the options, when you make a purchase, you’ll get BOTH the item and a certain amount (200 Tokens for each Ether spent) of Investor Tokens as well. This will be the only avenue where you can actually get tokens by paying Ether for now, although indirectly.

The Tokens are very cool to have especially at the early game stage, because the way the game works, you will never be able to just buy them, and there’s no way to get a lot after the launch. Token holders automatically get a revenue share from each closed deal, and can use the tokens to pay for items, which are not sold for any other currency. For instance, the characters: you can’t buy or upgrade them with Ether, only for tokens.

Let’s say we do achieve the 100K ETH turnover in Week 1. Assuming that investors get a 2% share (more in most cases), there will be a 2K ETH investor profit pool for distribution. If during the presale we sell for example 400 ETH worth of items, it will mean each 200 tokens (what you get when you spend 1 ETH) will yield around 5 ETH by the end of the first week of gameplay. We know this sounds pretty crazy, but what’s new in the world of crypto?

Purchased items will be delivered on game launch, and the Tokens are sent automatically and immediately. You can start trading them on EtherDelta right away.

WHY PRESALE

We believe the early adopters will be good players, and they would get all the cool items anyway, so why make them grind? The game will be more fun when it starts not from a clean state, but with some people already owning stuff. This also ensures we build a more loyal and connected community.

The proceeds from the presale will be used for the advertising campaign on project launch. Our intention is to make the game huge and we’ll need a budget for that. Eventually all the players, especially the early adopters, will benefit from the game being huge!

Our ultimate goal is to make the best game on the Ethereum platform, no compromises.

ETH.TOWN ROADMAP

We want this game to be big and long. We have a lot of ideas and a lot of plans for it. It is designed to be not just a finished product we release at some point, but evolving and expanding. We will share just the very beginning.

Presale start: Thursday March 15
Token tradable on EtherDelta
Limited access alpha (application form at https://eth.town): by end of March
April: Full launch

May: CryptoKitties event
May: Heroes’ mini-games
June: CryptoCountries event
June: Mobile version
Summer: Token tradable on more exchanges

THE TEAM

The game is being developed by On5 games development studio. The studio normally specializes in mobile games, but innovation is cool, and the Ethereum platform is great to try making real games for.

The studio has a lot of experience in game development. It worked with such companies as Samsung, Atari, and EA before. A talented team of developers and artists is working day and night on ETH.TOWN now.
