21 Long days.... of development ;)
48 Hours of intense tests!
Here we go with the early access of DrugWars, a free to play rewarding simulation and strategy game over the Steem Blockchain.
Why DrugWars?
At FutureShock we love building apps and we love to build useful thinks like our queen platform Fundition.io, but we also love games, as you noticed with the beta of Ongame.io, and one more time we wanted to build something amazing on Steem and for its community (beside all crypto/game lovers). Inspired by the original DrugWars game that you may have played 20 years ago this is a new generation browser game based on blockchain, with a social, strategic aspect and many other features.

How it works?
DrugWars is comparable to some pretty old games that you may have played on the web. You can upgrade/add buildings in your city and try to steal the DRUGS of your opponents.
Each day at midnight UTC, 8% of the total pool is distributed to players.
7% is delivered to all players depending of their drugs production.
1% is delivered for whom who invested in the next heist.
One of the most interesting part of DrugWars is probably the rewarding mechanism, each time a player spend some STEEM in game, the fund goes to the dealer, the dealer put 80% of that amount in the bank pool which is the @drugwars account.
Free to play?
Yes! DrugWars is totally free to play, everything that you can buy with STEEM currency can be also bought with ingame resources.
Why an early Access?
We started our tests in production environnement, and as everything goes well we don't see the point to wait for a complete release to offer you some moments of fun. Having the early access permit also to keep the team working on the game to improve it and to add new features without the need of exterior investor. No cuts on our benefits means also less cut on the benefits of players, so this is a win win situation for everyone.

It will take some times and some ressources to polish the game and to reach the 1.0 version but we are confident and count on the support of our players to make it one of the best games over all blockchains! We already started to work on the next step of the game in our test environnement and will keep you updated soon as we wake up of a long sleep!

Thats a wicked good idea ... as always sir @aggroed
Signed up and the game looks pretty good. Still a little confused on how to play/interpret the interface.

Is there any plans integrating Steem Keychain? I prefer to use it over Steem Connect...
You just planted 0.09 tree(s)!
We have planted already
7230.58 trees
out of 1,000,000
Let's save and restore Abongphen Highland Forest
in Cameroonian village Kedjom-Keku!
My Steem Power = 29103.71
Thanks a lot!
Thanks to @fuadsm Plant trees with @treeplanter and get paid for it! @martin.mikes coordinator of @kedjom-keku
El juego se ve bastante bien.
This looks very interesting and fun. I remember the old days with Mafia game.
I tried to upgrade a couple buildings but I keep getting the message "sending to the Blockchain" and than nothing else happens.
I also see that you are using Steemconnect to login. I hope that you will switch to KeyChain which is more secure, fast and reliable than Steemconnect.
Good work, looking forward to the next updates!
Hey masterthematrix, if you face any issue while playing don't hesitate to join the discord to report the problem so we can follow up and fix it to avoid any bad experience for future users.
For steemconnect, to be honest I still think that it's secure and reliable, until now nobody have proven that there is any security fail in their system. Ofc having steemconnect does not mean that we are not integrating keychain, in fact it already works... if you want to buy items (and we will integrate it for the rest too), it automatically switch to keychain if you have it. If not you still with sc.
Thanks and hope to see you ingame :)
hmmm very interesting, i'll try right now :)
Just to increase awareness, Steemconnect will no longer be free to dapps in just a couple days.

Thanks!
It seems great ! I have to check it out, good job 👏

Cool. Freue mich schon darauf. Gute Arbeit
The site isn't loading for me right now, but I'm eager to check it out a bit later! I've also been keeping an eye on Ongame.io but haven't perhaps delved into some features it may have already. Is it still under active development and have any big plans? It certainly looks pretty slick and it's been flying under pretty much everyone's radar here on Steem I think.
Don't hesitate to give it a try again later :) I'm sure that you will be interested in.
Ongame is still on run and waiting for the next update to work properly, there are some things going behind the scene and I'm also excited to make an announcement about it.
Alright... I think I'm hooked already. I've totally envisioned a game like this on Steem. I'm waiting on a little transfer of liquid Steem to come in the next few minutes so I can actually invest a bit at the outset and start building my mighty empire! Muahahah!
I'm curious about the "search warrant" feature as it seems like it'll allow voting to help you out in some way, which I think is killer. I'd love to see SP integrated in a way that doesn't totally unbalance the game but harnesses the power of voting like Fundition does.
Couple icons and things I don't understand yet, but I'm sure you'll roll out some documentation and media in the future! Looks great overall!
Link to discord?
See you on Drugwars...as a friend or an ennemy... =)Hello @pangoli! Sorry for the late reply here is the discord link https://discord.gg/desde9
Warning, dont spend any more steem on the game. They will take the money and give nothing in return. I have been scammed by them and i'm not the only one.

Can't wait to try it! Is it safe to use SteemConnect?
Great game! It gave me a reason to buy STEEM again for the first time in months!!
Great game! Where does the prize money come from?
Are you willing to be a transparent Dev? I dont mean this is any personal way directed to you, but were you already on steemit for sometime and have an account with a high UA score?
Steem blockchain is obviously lagging a bit with Dapps compared to the other top chains, and so most of us cryptoheads have already had the experience on the blockchains and dapps from a users perspective and the only Dapp that has survived still is Tronbet - purely because the devs and admin are communicating every hour on telegram, and have really kept to their word.
Most thought it wasn't good that steem was a bit slow, but I like it because we have some forsight of what happened before.
Ive been playing the game and its great! Just what we needed, Not A Gambling Dapp
I wish you all the best and would very much appreciate to hear your stance on how transparent you will be :)
Thanks.
Hey movingman, it's a bit late and it's not the good time for me to reply after this crazy day but I'm @hightouch, I have a little background of 12 years as a consultant for big companies that you know and worked hard on Steem for 2 years now. I worked on d.tube, I have built up Fundition and some other things that we maintain everyday without a lot profit but with some amazing people that are only willing the good of this ecosystem.
With DW we are not building a gambling app DW is a real product that I conceived in my minds since 3 years now, it's a complete game with many strategic features, which will come over the time. I don't know those people of Tronbet, even if I know Tron and how things are going on it. In fact, we could have built DrugWars on it, and it would possibly have made more "profit" than what it made today ;) and everybody who knows me a bit here can tell you that I handle both Tron and some other blockchains without any problem, but the fact is that I spent all my time without sleeping to make Steem better and to attract people on it... for 2 years now. Each minutes (that make a lot of minutes) trying to make things better. And to be honest even if I understand you, I'm not sure if the UA is the best way to judge someone.
If you want more transparency and you don't want it, what I got on Steem in 2 years, it's what you see in the @hightouch account and maybe the SP on @fundition which should be shared with my team and which can't be share because we are not making enough profit, so with a debt of 10k STEEM to some friends on Steem I can say that I won zero in 2 years by working day and night for some big stakeholders, but also to give the best service to users like you. If you have still any doubt about my transparency it's up to you bro ;)
But people have to know something about all of that, there is a technical side of this with sometime a lot of complexity, an human side, a creative side, an organization side, and many process to integrate when you do what I do and even if sometimes it is hard I do my best to keep everything up (with the help of a lot of people thanks to them), so I really hope to do the best with all the experiences that I learned and if you have any suggestions or feedback I would be happy to welcome you on our discord and to talk about it when I can sort my head off the sea.
Ok! OK , ok and ok :)
I really appreciate your lengthly reply at the end of a long day, as I'm sure others will also read it too. I'm happy that your very involved with Steem and didnt just start an account and the game as an uknown steemian :) I know Steem has a huge amount of people who have been here for years and really do appreciate everyone who dedicates everything to it all which makes it just so powerful.
I am enjoying the game a lot, and bless you that all this work will payoff in our future of cryptocurrency's and especially STEEM!
All the best and the reply is much much appreciated,
Big Love & Abundance,
@movingman
Hey guys!
I already found a bug:
In the starting screen, just after firstly logging in, you can't chose Alison.. It will just jump to Nagami when clicking on Alison.
Happily I didn't want to play Alison ;)
That is inconvenient. However, one can choose Alison by clicking the next button.
Didnt work when I tried.
Maybe it's already fixed?

Maybe they did. When I signed in, I observed the same issue you described but was able to see that characters' details in the end.

No
I couldnt even see the description because of the bug^^

Referrals are not working.
I started playing 3 days ago and already made some steel. This game is great!!
This game instantly wiped out my 110 steem!
I love it already!
lol... you immediately feel like revenging, yeah?
Looks like a very nice game, so i made an account, invested some steem, and played around a little.
Later i wanted to log in and reload my game, but that is not possible, and now the game is not loading
Not nice
Wow @futureshock you are innovating above and beyond what's expected with @drugwars.
Thank you 😊
Wow bookmarking this for later looks awesome!
I really enjoy the game. this game makes me thought about the good strategy that I have to decide, which one that I have to build first. thank for this game!
Game looks very interesting, I’ll check it out 😃

I like your post very much. Drug Wars.io - Pay Yourself to Govern Your World! I will look into the issue of this post. Thank you
Shit as the gangsta of Steemit I gotta get my grind on! Luckily I can remember which account I'm using... Blaze it! So is weed just weed or is there a low, mids, and topshelf? Rock on!

super boulot les gars, le jeu va cartonner. C'est quoi le mandat de perquisition?
game is stuck loading after character select
For me was similar, but got it through... But it works very slowly.. :(
It works now!
Nice !!! Just what I wanted to see, new games on steem! Gonna check this out !
Posted using Partiko iOS
I'm stuck at loading my character :(
Would really like to start playing and see how it turns out.
Great work guys :)
Hi, looks great and logging in works, but can't create a caracter, the wheel keeps spinning... Hope you can fix this. Cheers
Yeah
Rule it! / Mándalo!
I read your whole article and fount its interesting topic for reading.
I want to know about how to stop the drug wars.
Is there any effective way or path to stop it.Hi @drugwars.
Legalize all drugs. Since there is a strong correlation between childhood trauma and addiction, the war on drug is essentially a war on victims of trauma who need help.

This is amazing! Gonna check the game out right now. Thanks for your work :)!
Been waiting for something like this, will definitely check it out!
