Gaming will be forever changed with the unveiling of the RDC (Redeemable Digital Currency) genre and it’s flagship game, Havilah. When players make the profit it changes everything, gameplay is intensified, time spent is justified and lets just admit, playing is a lot more fun when you know you have a chance at hitting the motherlode.
The RDC genre is simple. Apply game generated profit to back one or more in-game resources, making it possible for players to redeem physical items, even cold hard cash. Of course, we could put a fraction of the profit from Havilah into redeemable content, but we are not the fraction type. 100% of the profit* generated from Havilah will be used to purchase gold backing the gold found in-game.
You can trust that in-game profits will be given back to the player in every game launched as part of the RDC platform.
We cannot make this happen without YOU. If successful, not only will an amazing game be produced, but the start of an entire line of games will be set into motion and the gaming world permanently changed. Only YOU can pioneer the gaming industry. Only YOU can tell game companies where to stick their profits!
Gold in Havilah is backed by true blue physical gold and redeemable by every player. This means that every player in Havilah has the ability to grow their company, collect gold and have that gold shipped to their door. As game profit increases, so does the value of the in-game gold. Watch as in-game gold value fluctuates, redeem or sell your gold while it is high, or utilize it as an in-game resource manufacturing ammunition, ships and equipment.
Our vision for Havilah is simple, build an unparalleled mobile/PC hybrid MMO incorporating, intense strategy, open exploration, freedom of choice, addictive competition, a true player driven market, complex political system and the highest quality social interaction. All built around the player managing a company capable of generating real world profit.
Let's just face it, advertising being as it is, many companies in our position would freely use terms such as ‘’mine real gold on your phone’’ to draw players into a game with oversold game play and almost non-existent rewards. This is why we are driven not only to create unparalleled games but also a trusted brand with a multi-game platform allowing one player profile to be created and utilized between every game on the platform. This platform will allow other like-minded developers to add to the RDC genre, ensuring gamers their rewards are not simply a gimmick. Players would then be able to easily and instantly spend profits from one game on any other game on the RDC platform, all while tracking their stats and profits from each game.
We made the decision to build Havilah as a cross platform hybrid MMO because we know that when real profit is on the line players need to be notified as changes occur and they need to be given the ability to act on that new information when those changes happen.
Havilah will be a game like no other for many obvious reasons, and our desire is to stick to that theme when it comes to learning how the galaxy functions. Havilah will not disappoint in the mystery and intrigue department, our intention with the development of content for Havilah is that no player would ever fully uncover all of it’s secrets. Players will be given minimal instruction at the beginning, and will soon realize that other players are their lifeline to learning how life works in this dangerous and complex galaxy. You will need to forge close relationships, build trade networks and maintain good standing in an alliance to truly flourish.
If you have ever imagined playing a game with a genuine player driven economy then your day has finally come, each player of Havilah will utilize the same galactic market as every other player on their planet. When silver is sold in abundance prices will drop, when silver demand goes up silver prices will rise. Sound simple? It is, however we know that most games touting a player driven market does not deliver. Fortunately, we are not most games.
Face it, everything is more fun with friends. This is why we aim to take socializing in a MMO to the next level. Utilizing the newest in cutting edge server technology we aim to create entrancing PVP combat so that situations such as an attack on an alien outpost, a rival alliance or the unsuspecting government of your region has the potential to not only happen, but happen with the help of 2-5 of your friends in real time. We want to expand this technology into areas such as teaming up to mine resource rich land faster, players loaning players ships and gear, leasing land, pvp combat in the galactic arena.
In Havilah, a programmer with a strict set of code does not lay out your path, your path is laid out by you and you alone. Almost no position or direction is official or binding. Believe it or not, your objective does not even have to consist of acquiring gold, however if lining your pockets with gold and rubies is your thing you will make your own path. Ruling as a governor or political official, shipping cargo for high paying clients, utilizing your fleet as mercenaries for hire, building a trade empire, manufacturing, leasing your resource rich land, managing a mine, farming, smuggling, pillaging, playing the market, or any mixture of the sort, are just a few of the ways one can forge their own way to riches.

Risks and challenges
Developing software of any kind can hold the possibility of unforeseen challenges. For this reason we have taken extreme steps to mitigate the chances that delays caused by unforeseen problems would happen. We have done this by laying out a clear plan to expand our current game engine, finishing a base game in a much shorter period of time than our complete vision. We will then release the base game, taking on players while continuing to build onto the game’s features and server infrastructure.
This serves the player well because it will not only allow you to enjoy the game much earlier but also allow you to focus on learning the base features of the game before newer, more complex features are introduced. Our anticipated end result will be a secure, solid game infrastructure that can facilitate 10’s of millions of players in a single game world.
You can rest assured the Skylark team, with over 100 years of game development experience, will utilize the newest technologies available to produce a game that will not only continue adding new features, but also new ways to redeem your hard earned assets.

Absolutely. Havilah is something of a company/mining sim. We say "something of" because it is more of an actual company than a simulation. 100% of the profit made from Havilah will go to back the gold mined in Havilah. Every player will have the opportunity to locate and mine this gold. Eventually redeeming it as part of their company's profits. Although not all players will make money, every player will have an equal chance to succeed.

We have set up our rewards to provide our earliest backers with a very significant advantage starting out in Havilah. The current rewards offer an incredible way to not only get Kickstarter exclusive items not available to non-backers, but also items that would be astronomically hard to obtain if they were. In some cases, a kickstarter backer will start out many years ahead of non-backers.
