The Fantasy Card System (Patreon)

Updated: Added a FAQ at the bottom of hte post.

Hello, this is the explanation about the Fantasy Card System (FCS for short).

Remember the infamous Log In System introduced on the Bioasshard V 0.1.0?

We deleted it from existence but promised a new system to unlock the rewards... a system with a new philosophy.

And What's that philosophy?

It wont' requiere internet connection.   

It will be comfortable for us to work with it and for Patrons because of its not intrusive nature.   

No Patron info will be required.   

It will allow us to reward our Patrons but not only based on their pledge but in their loyalty to us (ie the time they've been Patrons)   

It will allow more integration with projects that aren't games (like comics, CG sets, etc)  

It will give the Patrons the freedom to do whatever they want with their rewards.    

First thigs first: 

This is a Fantasy Card

1- Card's name

2- 'Super-amazing' art

3- The project where it belongs

4- Card's level

5- Password

The most important part is the Password. You'll have to input the password on the project where it belongs. It's possible that different projects have different ways to introduce the codes.

The codes are case sensitive and you have to write it including the '-' symbol. 

There are 4 card levels:

Common: Cards for all Patrons.

Rare: Can be for HOUND and/or FOX Patrons.

Special: These cards are rewards for Patron's fidelity.

Legendary: Very similar to the Special level but limited to FOX Patrons only.

What type of rewards will the FCS unlock?

It'll depend on the project and the card but here are some examples:

Extra options

Extra items

Extra Ammo

Special equipment

Cheats

Extra scenes

etc

There are different ways for cards to be published but these are the main ones:

FAQ

-------------------------------

Q:  Is there any mechanism to prevent pirating of these cards?

A: No. 

The FCS just like the infamous (and deleted) Log-in system are systems aiming to give the correct rewards to the Patrons not an anti-piracy system. 

As is stated in the first section of the post: "It [the FCS] will give the Patrons the freedom to do whatever they want with their rewards."

We don't have any interest in fighting piracy.

We here have one internal rule (like most creators who want to live on their creations even if they don't say it because it's not politically correct): Economic viability is a must. If a project is not economically viable, it will be cancelled. Piracy doesn't matter to us, because sometimes it can be positive and sometimes negative. We will only analyze the final economic results, discarding all the reasons that derived into these results.

It's up to each one to think, if, "hacking" the cards or the projects themselves can be positive or negative for VXS and for the projects. We have neither time, nor means, nor desire to get involved on this matter.

Q: If I were to apply for Fox, would it be impossible for me to obtain legendary cards because I haven't been a patron long enough?

A:  Well, you wouldn't be able to get a legendary card at first. But the moment you enter that "category" you would get them all. Keep in mind these cards aren't a one-chance card. What I mean by this is that if we give out a legendary card now, that card will remain available for everyone as long as the requirements are met, it doesn't matter the time that has passed. 

Q: So how do you get the card for the project you want? 

A: As said in the post:

Those are the three ways to get a card. Don't worry; no cards will go unnoticed as we will make sure to warn when a card is released. As for the project it belongs, no need to worry either because we'll give all the cards no matter the project they belong to as they're available. 

Q:  Will there be any cards for bioasshard in 2019?A:  Of course. The cards will normally be released on dates closer to project launches

And that's all. If you have any question please, let us know in the comments below.
