Dear FLP Community,
Over the last quarter, our core team has been hard at work building and deploying our game publishing platform. Icarus Online, our first title for self-publishing is now in the launch phase and is one of the most anticipated MMORPGs for Latin America in 2019.
Our plan is to launch the Portuguese version of Riders of Icarus in Q2 and the Spanish version in Q3. Once fully scaled and stable, we’ll enable transactions of select in-game items utilizing FLP, allowing us to build a strong use case of the aftermarket revenue for game publishers.
GAME PUBLISHING
With only a month of our pre-launch marketing, Icarus Online has shown to attract massive interest from the Brazilian gamers. Currently, we have over tens of thousands of unique pre-registrations for the closed beta and thousands of community members in our Facebook and Discord channels. Visit the official website to learn more about the game launch.
The core gameplay of Icarus Online revolves around capturing creatures that can be turned into tangible in-game items like mounts, pets and sealed stones that are used to upgrade character equipment. Mounts in Icarus Online not only serve aesthetical and movement purposes, but players can also use them in ranged and melee combat on ground and air, increasing the alternatives to the gameplay style in either PvE or PvP, thus making these creatures extremely valuable assets in the game.
Once the Icarus Online userbase and content is fully scaled and stable, we will enable aftermarket transactions via the Gameflip marketplace (Gameflip.com, Android and iOS apps), allowing player-to-player transactions of in-game items using FLP.
Stay tuned to all upcoming news about Icarus Online at https://studios.gameflip.com/icarus. While only the Brazilian/Portuguese version was announced, we estimate the launch of Icarus Online for the entire Latin American community by Q3 2019.
GAMEFLIP GIGS
With thousands of hours of player coaching and hundreds of raid bosses taken down through the services delivered through Gameflip Gigs, we are confident that there’s an untapped opportunity within the videogames and eSports peer-to-peer services and coaching realm. We will continue to improve and expand upon the development of Gameflip Gigs, eventually offering the ability to transact them via FLP.
Gameflip Gigs will undergo the next round of research and development in Q2 with a substantial marketing launch in Q3. Our initial version of Gigs leveraged many of the functionalities built for digital goods transactions within the Gameflip marketplace. In this next iteration, we will add synchronous features for discovering, communicating, and transacting Gigs. Check out the Gameflip Gigs offered by our sellers here.
FLP: PROMOTIONS & TRANSACTIONS
In 2019 we continue to give back to the community by offering special promotions, discount coupons, and giveaways to promote the adoption of FLP. For March/April 2019, we have a 100,000 FLP giveaway available to all Gameflip users who use FLP to purchase any items within the Gameflip marketplace.
At last, we’d also like to highlight some of the popular and trending products that were purchased with FLP on the Gameflip marketplace:
Thanks for your support and our next update will be in July.
