LOS ALTOS, Calif., Feb. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Augmentors
ICO is coming to an end. The ongoing crowdsale organized by
the first ever Blockchain-based augmented reality game started on
January 30, 2017. The ICO
ends tomorrow, on February 28, 2017
at 1 pm GMT (8
am EST), offering the last chance to snap up the
Databits (DTB) cryptotokens (used in the Augmentors game) at a rate
of 10000 DTB/ 1 BTC.
The augmented reality mobile game allows players to summon
virtual creatures into the real world where creatures possess
unique powers and can be trained and traded by the player before
participating in epic battles. Early backers of the game had the
unique opportunity to select between 25 limited edition creatures
including 3 legendary Gods, which sold out almost immediately, with
only a few of the packages still available for purchase.
In addition to the investments received on Shark Tank South
Africa, plus a successful token pre-sale to the Spells of Genesis
audience, Augmentors has been running the Databits ICO to raise
1000BTC to complete the development of the game. The platform had a
successful start to the ICO as the first 24 hours of the crowdsale
saw the platform raise over 50% of the required funds. Now with
just under 120 BTC still to raise before the ICO end date, backers
interested in buying into the unique Blockchain-based AR game
offering can still purchase Databits tokens using Bitcoin
here.
The Augmentors game has been likened to "Pokemon GO" by many
media outlets. It is the brainchild of Michael Deon, who dreamt up the concept of
Augmentors over 10 years ago. Deon developed the characters,
storyline and gameplay by drawing inspiration from his passion for
turn-based fantasy games. With Augmentors, he has recreated his
vision digitally through augmented reality and will soon give
players a chance to get lost in this alternate reality. In the
Augmentors realm Deon has included a collection of 50 unique
creatures, or Augmentors, who each have their own unique attacks,
spells or movements characteristics.
The revolutionary Blockchain-based AR game has received
recognition from some well-known personalities including Shark Tank
South Africa's Vinny Lingham
(Silicon Valley entrepreneur), Gil
Oved (co-CEO of Creative Counsel) and the Executive Director
of Bitcoin Foundation, Llew Claasen.
Lingham, known for his association with the blockchain startup
Civic and Gyft has already invested in the game platform. He's also
a prolific advocate for Bitcoin and blockchain technology and was
an early adopter of Bitcoin payments in his startup Gyft. The faith
exhibited by Lingham and Claasen showcases Augmentors as a unique,
innovative, useful and exciting use of Blockchain technology.
Augmentors will be releasing the game's Alpha version in the
coming months. It will be followed by feature additions, upgrades
and more before it hits the Google Play Store and Apple AppStore
later in 2017.
Cryptocurrency and gaming enthusiasts still wanting to secure a
rare creature and become a part of gaming
history can purchase the last of the packages available
before 3 pm GMT (10 am EST) February
28th 2017. To Participate in the Augmentors ICO
