We do not hide that we will need a large amount of resources and work poured into this project.
And the comparison between us and SteemMonsters is quite frankly a bad idea. The two projects have only two things in common - they are both games and both are connected to Steem.
The running and jumping asset is not being really presented as progress. This is just our way of showing the community that this is a project that is really being made and that we do have developers working on the actual game - precisely to avoid accusations that we are just asking for money without having the intention to deliver a product.
I can understand your skepticism with the project as it is huge - no doubt about that. Especially with the number of projects that are announced here on Steem and that never come to be. But we truly want to deliver an amazing game that will allow people to - for the first time ever - truly combine the virtual and the real world.
