Hello crypto game fans! I’m Ciel and I’m bringing you your news updates for today!
Don’t forget I’m running a game jam over on my personal steemit! Build a game that incorporates crypto or blockchain in some way and submit it to me before January 20th! You could win some Steem, Smartcash, a CryptoKitty, and more!
Let’s get started!
==============================================================
CryptoKitties continues to take the world by storm. Veteran Actor George Takei posted a
video on Facebook about them, while several CryptoKitties seem to be getting their own twitter accounts (@derpcryptokitty, @TheCryptoKitty, @CryptoKittyPB ). The CK team has posted the winners of the Winter contest and the community has created an app to show you how much Ether has gone in and out of your CK address, in hopes of helping you calculate your earnings vs losses. (Note: The app seems to read all transactions, not just kitty ones so this may not be as accurate if you use the same MetaMask address for multiple games.)
For those interested in learning more about ERC721 tokens (like CryptoKitties or LAND in Decentraland), here’s a good medium article breaking them down.
A member of the Steempunk team has become an official moderator on the Utopian.io project to help out with Steempunk contributions. Check out the post if you’re interested in learning how you can contribute to the game. The white paper has also been translated into spanish.
CryptoCats are collectible 8-bit pixel cats that you can collect on the Ethereum blockchain. You can keep up with new releases on the team’s twitter. If you’re keeping track, that brings the total to three separate cat collecting games on Ethereum now.
Dragon Knights of Valeria 2: Universe is officially out of beta.
MandelDuck, developer of SaruTobi Island and the geocaching app takara, has posted a video of testing the takara app on the lightning network. Congratulations to MandelDuck for continuing to push forward with new innovations in crypto game development.
HashPuppies surprised users of NEO with “The Great Puppy Airdrop of 2017”. If you hold Neo in your own wallet (not on an exchange), check out the article to see if you qualified for a free token to claim a HashPuppy when they are released!
CryptoFighters is revving up its web presence by uploading a website and inviting folks to take part in a marketing campaign that can win you a free CryptoFighter.
CryptoPets has updated their website to include their new whitepaper. Check it out!
==============================================================
That’s all for today. See you next time! :3
You can check your airdrop hush puppy token using the link by inserting your Neo Receive Address and you would find RDTT balance.

Thank you!
Welcome :)
Thank you again! Cryptofighters looks super fresh.
It'll be interesting to see if CryptoCats takes off in the same way as Crytpo Kitties has... they just don't really look as cute... but there might be something that I'm missing.
Very interested in CryptoFighters though... very keen to win a Gen 0 fighter...
The team at CryptoCats say they're interested in collaborations so maybe something interesting will come from that in the future :3
I'm actually way more interested in Crypto Puppies at this point... the cuteness potential is through the roof.
I think the problem with CryptoCats is that anyone can really draw them... so they don't have the artistic value that CryptoKitties has.
Have you checked out Hashpuppies? They're not quite as cute as Crypto Puppies but they're pretty up there lol. They got me into NEO.
