Card Art Sketches
Ross has been working hard on getting the multi-player finished, and we've been doing some playtesting with him. It's been a blast, and has been our favorite way to end the evening - some gamin'  ;D He's mostly been working on fixing some bugs today.

Aside from that, we've been working on adding to our deck, and have been very pleased with the ideas you've been sharing with us! Here are a few recent sketches:



About these vastly different cards:

CELESTIAL BLAST
> Celestial Spell
> Deal 3 Celestial damage to a Void unit or Heal a non-Void unit ally 3 life.

ANTS AT A PICNIC
> Nature Spell
> Summon Ant Soldiers on all spaces surrounding target enemy. They each attack, then vanish from battlefield.

What do you think? I'll post again when they are finished. Did you see the checked picnic tablecloth?  ;D

Incubus Feature
Today, I wanted to feature the Incubus's awesome animations, including his flying and his double shotel spin attack. Watch:



Ross and I were toying around with the Incubus and the Succubus characters, and having them tied to stealing your opponents mana and siphoning it to you. This would be very powerful, so you may need the pair to do both - what do you think?  :D

Playtesting
Ross is working very diligently 7 days a week to get the multiplayer ready to go and squash the coding bugs. We've had our very game-orientated 6-year-old testing it out to help with finding those bugs so we can release it soon for early access play testing (see picture below).



He's become quite adept at the game and gives it his seal of approval, which can be difficult from an honest kid!

Have a great Saturday  8)

Dark Elf Scorpion & Forums Exclusive
Happy Sunday!

Fans of Dark Elves? So are we! After hinting at some of the characters here and there in screenshots, we are finally giving a first look at the Dark Elves race. Here's a peek at the Dark Elf Scorpion:


Dark Elf Scorpion

Pretty freaky, huh? He's going to be a lot of fun to control on the battlefield!

As a bonus, I'm also including a video of the Dark Elf Sorcerer's animation. This is a Forum-only exclusive  8)


Dark Elf Sorcerer

Check back tomorrow to see a Dark Elves feature. Have a great rest of your weekend!

Dark Elves Unveiling
You've seen some of their animations (see our post from yesterday). Now meet the Summoners Fate Dark Elves race:


...ok, he's not really a Dark Elf...or should he be?  ;D





Here they are! We've been working closely with our awesome artists to get their look just right. They're malicious and have nefarious plans in store for the inhabitants of Summoners Fate.

What do you think? Which is YOUR favorite?

Today's GameDev
Played with our our game's bugs to distract from fixing game bugs.  #BugCeption  :o

Frozen Cast
In Summoners Fate, it's possible for your Summoner to cast while frozen. Before we implemented this animation, it looked a little funny how your character could move within the ice block. But now we've provided a reason for how they can cast: the Orc's arm sticks out of the ice just as he freezes, allowing him to still cast a spell using just that free arm. Watch:

Which is best?
We need your help!  :D

Which icon sketch do you like best for "Flash Bomb"? For context:
> Chaos card
> Deal 3 damage to visible enemy. They may not counter attack this turn.



Which do you like best - 1 OR 2? Let us know here or on our official vote page.

Team Work!
Watch our Gladiator and Giant Skeleton work together to take down a Goblin Archer. This video features the new "move and shoot" control Ross has been working on, which, for special characters like the Gladiator, allows you to release to select designated move and then select a new target to attack at range. As you see in this case, this can lead to some really awesome combos. What do you think?



Hero Mages Gaming - Sunday
Our awesome player, Scribe, posted about a Hero Mages Live Gaming Session on Sunday, April 1st (see his post here). He says:

Hi all!

Since we cannot enjoy the beta of Summoners Fate just yet, I propose to all to join a HERO MAGES live gaming session this Sunday, April 1st!  ;D
For former fans, this is a unique opportunity to put a few more hours in this tremendous game, playing with real players, maybe even reconnecting with former friends and foes!
For those who don't know Hero Mages, you can learn first hand what Ross was able to pull out by himself about 10 years ago. There is a "spectator" feature built in, so you can watch games real time (or even replay some). Be sure to install the app beforehand from the Apple store or Google Play, and create an account. And if you're tempted to try the game for yourself, I'm sure we can get a few volunteers to teach you the basics (it's not as easy to learn as Summoners Fate is, but it's sure addictive once you're past that).

So let's meet this Sunday at 2 PM MDT (9PM Western Continental Europe).

Come and join the fun!  :D

Who's down for Sunday at 2 PM MDT (9PM Western Continental Europe)? I know it's Easter, so availability will be spotty, but Ross will definitely make it sometime tomorrow! Can't wait  8) Big THANK YOU to Scribe for setting this up.

Happy Friday!

Devils & Angels
Happy Saturday! Hope weather is good where you are.

We have been adding daily to our deck of over 400 cards, and some are special and just really badass to us! These two upcoming cards, Demonic Strength and Guardian Angel, are based on our in-game characters, and we love how the artists captured them for these cards. Take a look:


A little about why you will want these cards in your deck:

DEMONIC STRENGTH
> Chaos card
> Give target unit +2/+2. If it is a Dreadnought or Demon, give it +3/+3.

GUARDIAN ANGEL
> Celestial card
> Surprise: When your opponent targets your Summoner for a spell, summon an Angel Warrior as the new target.

What do you think? Are you starting to have some opinions on what type of deck you want to build?


Kickstarter Update
Kickstarter Backers! Make sure to check your inboxes as Kickstarter Update #16 went out yesterday, March 30th.

ROAR! BARK! MEOW!
Meet some of our Animal playable characters. These companions are loyal, ferocious (even the Rat!), and an excellent addition to any Summoners Fate deck. Can you spot some new characters?  :o




We will have 200+ characters available to play as in Summoners Fate. These are divided between humans, humanoids, animals, creatures, summons, and undead.

Which would you add to your deck?

Naming Time!
"Who am I?"



We're giving first names to our Summoners; can you help us name the ARCH MAGE?

When you cast an Arcane Spell with him, draw a card. If it is an Arcane spell, it costs 1 less.

Can't wait to hear your ideas!
