TwinForge Presale Land Fundraiser:Soft Launch Edition

[grid9games]

Welcome to the soft launch of the TwinForge Presale Land Fundraiser

you guys are awesome we already reached over 40% of our goal in the 1st 48 hours

This Soft Launch will span for 2 weeks, from April 22nd through May 6th.

The official fundraiser launch will continue for 4 weeks, from May 7th through June 4th.

The ultimate goal of this fundraiser is to raise enough money to help pay for long term hosting of the website for the first year, early creation of artwork, programming for the game, and committing to conservation goals for real world change to the world.

Our financial goal we wish to achieve over the next 42 days is a minimum of $1,000 SBD with that amount

• 10% will go towards planting new trees at $1 per sapling
• 20% will go towards site hosting for the first year
• 30% will go towards crypto conversion fees and taxes
• 15% will go towards artwork production for the first month
• 15% will go towards programming for the first month
• 10% will go towards marketing for the first month

If we exceed our initial fundraising goals, we will renew as many of the categories above as possible on a month by month basis, we will keep a transparent breakdown of our monthly earnings and expenses so that you know where your contributions to this project go.

Now onto the main event for today the soft launch of presale land tokens.

Pre-alpha worldmap subject to change

Roughly 42 days ago we started producing land and town/city reservation steem-engine tokens following a scheduled release of the equivalent of 5 land blocks per day in 3 different sizes, +1 city and 9 town reservation tokens every 2 weeks. each 6 weeks this total amount below will be added to the available land holdings.

Today the current available holdings is:

• 3 city reservation tokens
• 27 town reservation tokens
• 40 Land Blocks
• 160 Quarter Blocks
• 2080 Small Plots

For the next 2 weeks anyone may buy (when in supply):

City Reservation tokens or Town Reservation tokens

City Reservation Tokens: $225 SBD =1/81 of a Continent

Owning 1 of these tokens means you have a permanent stake in the upcoming game world of TwinForge and you are entitled to earning 1,800 Marks per week of in-game currency. This is not land, it is a way of reserving space within the game to be bought by only you in the future. This is also the only way to have an official Town in the game that will be visible on the World map for players to see your town profile, which is named and described by you. This reservation allows for 8100sqm of land to be unobtainable by anyone else in the destination you choose on the map, unless you sell it directly to them. You must purchase the land separately and lock to this area in order for it to be counted as part of your city reserve.

Town Reservation Tokens: $75 SBD =1/9th of a City

Owning 1 of these tokens means you have a permanent stake in the upcoming game world of TwinForge and you are entitled to earning 600 Marks per week of in-game currency. This is not land, it is a way of reserving space within the game to be bought by only you in the future. This is also the only way to have an official Town in the game that will be visible on the World map for players to see your town profile, which is named and described by you. This reservation allows for 900sqm of land to be unobtainable by anyone else in the destination you choose on the map, unless you sell it directly to them. You must purchase the land separately and lock to this area in order for it to be counted as part of your town reserve.

It is absolutely encouraged that if you wish to start a town or city in the game that you do not come at this alone. Once the game has officially started, all players will have limited stamina bars that will be refreshed based on their food, activity levels, and sleep quality.
Building a town/city will require many people to shoulder the workload if you wish to acquire materials, construct buildings, and build a community within a timely manner.
Even the strongest of bank accounts cannot buy their way to a fully developed town (unless purchased from another player that took the time and energy to develop it).

That being said, your weekly stipend of in-game currency should be used to hire other players in the game to harvest and transport materials for you or help construct buildings you wish to have on your land.

Any player that has already purchased a town or city reservation will have exclusive access to purchasing any of the 3 different sized land plots during the soft launch fundraiser so that they may expand their land holdings and prepare for the game opening.

If you choose to do so, these are your choices while supplies are available:

Land Block Token: $25 SBD = 1/9th of a Town

Owning 1 of these token means you have a permanent stake in the upcoming game world of TwinForge and you are entitled to earning 200 Marks per week of in-game currency and the ability to name and describe your piece of the world. This piece of land is 100sqm.

Land QuarterBlock:$10 SBD = 1/4th of a Land Block

Owning 1 of these token means you have a permanent stake in the upcoming game world of TwinForge and you are entitled to earning 50 Marks per week of in-game currency and the ability to name and describe your little piece of the world. This piece of land is 25sqm.

Land SmallPlot:$5 SBD = 1/4th of a QuarterBlock

Owning 1 of these token means you have a permanent stake in the upcoming world of TwinForge and you are entitled to earning 25 Marks per week of in-game currency and the ability to name and describe your small little piece of the world. This piece of land is 6.25sqm.

Every time a block of land is bought, 16 numbers will be randomly generated between 1 and 16. Each number represents 1 small plot and the 4 land types with 4 starting variants they will become.

Forest

• 1 seed
• 2 seeds
• 3 seeds
• 4 seeds

Stripped land

• Sand
• Clay
• Stone
• Ore

Water land

• 1 fish egg
• 2 fish eggs
• 3 fish eggs
• 4 fish eggs

Grassland

• Grass
• Flowers
• Herbs
• Soil

Which ever land type is more dominant of the 16 will be the official visible block land on the map

If you buy a quarter block then only 4 random numbers will be drawn

If you buy a small plot then only 1 random number will be drawn

If available larger land types can be broken up into smaller ones for a small fee of $3 SBD

Also, anyone who purchases land tokens will have a random chance to discover an ancient rune section. There are 4 ancient ruin sections to every city (8100sqm).
When the game starts, players will be able to transport their rune sections to each other until all 4 are pieced back together. Each completed ruin may be powered temporarily by gems and gem shards found rarely while mining to open a portal to transport a player and their hog cart to any other ruin portal that has been completed within the same continent.

If you wish to buy one of the city or town reservations during the soft launch pre-sale, simply leave a comment on this post with your discord name or leave a message on the Twinforge discord pre-alpha chat and I will DM you through QuantumNachos#8872 as soon as possible

Looking forward to it! I'll take a City Reservation!

[grid9games]

look at @yabapmatt being all awesome once again one City Reservation coming right up sir.
thank you

I was just scrolling through the tokens on Steem-Engine and saw grid9games, so I googled it, glad to have discovered this so early! I'm not ballin enough to get the City Reservation right now but I am definitely interested in getting something! Will have to see what we can afford to spare!

Best of luck with this game! I'm sure you will hit that 1000 SBD mark real fast with this one. In fact, I'll go and promote in my Discord. :)

[grid9games]

thanks for the vote of confidence. if towns or cities are to much for you then just wait a few weeks for the hard fundraiser launch and you will have access to buying smallplots($5 sbd each) quarter blocks($10 sbd each) and Land Blocks($25 sbd each) the soft launch is for those that feel like getting access to those 3 even earlier than the hard launch so dont feel obligated to join in on that if its not affordable to you. in fact we encourage people that buy towns and city reservations to have a plan with multiple people to run them as a community(and possibly pool money to joint purchase) because at the end of the day they require a community to make them prosper.

[okean123]

Exactly the same for me lol

[grid9games]

thank you for buying through proxy a quarter block 1st land trade in the game woohoo.

If you're a hard worker and you don't mind eating lots of pickles... I mean lots of pickles, I'm sure I could find you some meager space in Picklesburg.

Joking aside, I've got a town and I think I'm going to call it Picklesburg. We are a simple community of honest hard workers that make and sell the finest damn pickles in (insert title of world). There is small wooded area in Central Picklesburg wherein can be found a secret portal to the Splinterlands.

I've got to get one of those Town Reservation Tokens! I mean, I'm not really city material.

I'm in for one Town Reservation Token and one Land Block. I'll hire a crew of stinky hippies who travel around in an old school bus to park on my land ASAP. :D

Seriously though. I want in. I'll make contact in Discord.

[grid9games]

chatted and traded thanks for the contribution to the fundraiser look forward to seeing what you make of your town when the game comes out.

What an interesting concept and I can't wait to see future updates. Good Luck with the Fundraising.

Put me down for one Town Reservation $75 SBD and one Land Block $25 SBD.
