June 2018 — Development Update (Crypto space commander)
Galactic Federation News Network (GFNN) AD— “The Galaxy is filled with dangerous drones of all sizes. That’s why I only travel in Earth-made Reapers. Reapers, proudly made with 100% recycled SOL materials…. because we have nothing else left.”
Hi, commanders!
We have some big announcements for you today, as we are now entering the month of June, and CSC development is in full swing. See below for our latest updates.
The Game
Both a Gameplay unveiling and an alpha playable are on their way! I know you’ve all been dying to see what we’ve been up to, and I promise the wait has been worth it. We have been working non-stop on our first alpha playable, and overall, I’m happy to say that we are VERY close to releasing a worthy build for our alpha launch. The visuals are stunning, and game mechanics are working phenomenally. We will be releasing a Dev’s Diary video soon to showcase gameplay, new ships, mining, combat, and more! We’re still planning a release for this month, but we haven’t locked in a date yet, so stay tuned.
New Contracts
Final NFT contract deployment is HERE! We have settled on our final design and architecture for our CSC NFT contracts. They will use the latest design specs of the ERC-721, and they’ll have functionality built in to allow for ease of gameplay and extendibility with our off-chain scaling solution. Expect the deployment of this contract within the next month and migration/redemption functionally added to the CSC website. Vouchers can be redeemed for an updated Voucher in this final contract, but Voucher redemption for CSC ships won’t occur until after Mainnet launch of CSC.
Website Updates
As our community grows and CSC moves forward in development, we feel that our website could use a little bit of an overhaul. These changes will include a trading marketplace for CSC ships and items, an item page detailing information about your CSC NFTs, an updated hangar with various new features for searching and sorting your CSC goods, and most importantly, additional gameplay screenshots, videos, concept imagery, and game design information. We expect most of these changes to go live in the next 2 to 3 weeks.
Bounty & Referral Programs
Our forum bounty program ended in May, and distribution has been delayed to take advantage of our new NFT contract deployment. Expect bounty distribution to start around the third week of June. The referral program will be getting an overhaul as well. Last distribution of referral vouchers will take place on June 22. After that, a new referral program and rewards will be announced.
Pre-Sale Changes
Pre-sale will end in two weeks! The current CSC pre-sale has been a hit! We have been very happy with our progress and the growth of our community. Now, we have decided to end this pre-sale and burn any unsold items. The assets distributed in this first pre-sale will now be granted the title of “First Fleet.” An emblem will be added to the asset visuals, and they will retain all of their original perks, plus a few more exciting additions that will be announced soon. This pre-sale will end June 22, and a new set of pre-sale items that will include new ships will launch shortly thereafter. With the close of the first pre-sale, Voucher sales will end permanently. All unsold Vouchers will be burned, and no new vouchers will ever be created or sold again, so be sure to get yours soon!
Mining Expedition Alpha Update
MEA has been an outstanding success with 4.5 million tons of ore claimed! We are very happy to see so many commanders participating! Right now, not much is changing in MEA, but we are considering moving it into the Alpha playable and aligning its mechanics more closely with what we expect the traditional CSC mining experience will be like. Expect more on this in the next update.
New Rare Ships
As part of the CSC unveiling revamp, we will be introducing two new rare ships to the game. Details will come soon, but until then, here’s a sneak peek…
