Congratulations!
The reason I think is because a lot of us understand how big blockchain gaming is going to be. I'm not saying you guys are necessarily going to pull it off. But you certainly seem like a honest, emotional and talented bunch of people creating this.
However, this is all ready looking so much more promising than boring cryptokitties. I'm sure there will be even more advanced games in the future, but Steem monsters is starting to form and look like a pretty decent concept.
Steem monsters got my attention because
It worked like a charm. Not f... metamask. ZERO hazzle. No slow transactions on a clogged ethereum network which cant even deal with 1 mill transactions per day. Steem blockchain is perfect for gaming micro transactions. 1,9 million transactions per day at 0,15% capacity - not even scaled yet.
Great graphics, cool art
A transparent team with known members with a vision. You get the feeling that you're onboard wit the project. We're all explorers into the mystery cave that is blockchain (I'm definitely not going to write lore,lol)
So, it's deserved. And the great thing is that now you feel even more responsible of making this game great now that people have invested so much money :) No pressure!
