Fixing Bugs Like a Boss
With our Early Access players, one of their tasks is letting us know about bugs in our game. While we wish they weren't there, with any early game play, it is inevitable as it is difficult to foresee all fringe cases. Ross created a streamlined and automated process for bug reports that requires less effort on our players' part and provides clear details to him about what the bug specifically is and why it occurred. He created a video to show how he's leveraging the player community and in-game telemetry and automated reporting system to find and fix bugs like a boss. 8) Watch:

Bugs!


Scorpion Wasp...watch out for that stinger!

Today Ross has been working on bug fixes that have been reported through our system (see the video we posted yesterday) during our Early Access. This is great for both EA players and future players as the more inevitable bugs 'caught' now, the better our released version will be!

Who are Our Archer Fans?
While often melee and magical attacks get a lot of glory - not to mention the rip of giant claws of, say, a mighty Dragon or a gruesome Troll! - ranged attacks are quite powerful and often an underestimated strategic advantage. These units can stay in the shadows and protect against melee attacks, and are usually only limited by line of sight. Meet some of the Archers of Summoners Fate:



Which is YOUR favorite?  :o

Blue Cave Screenshot
One of my favorite settings for Summoners Fate (and there are many of them) is the Blue Cave. The crystal-filled room has an eerie and otherworldly quality to it, and is the perfect home to various spiders and supernatural beings...

In this game, Nova the Sorceress just smacked my Dark Elf Scorpion with her staff.

Fun Fact: Did you wonder why the life bar above Nova has a shaded look vs. all red? This was added for our color-blind players to distinguish between enemy health bars and their own characters.

Throw Back Sunday
Step right up, test our our latest strategy game...



Here was me in 2009 at Gen Con in Indianapolis, all ready to do some gaming with attendees! This was a booth for our first game, Hero Mages, and we met so many awesome future players of our game.

Ross and I will be planning our future 'cons' and events to attend to spread the word about Summoners Fate soon, and we can't wait to hit the road and get gamers PUMPED!

Updates to Campfire Menu
We've made some updates, thanks to our amazing animator Peter, to our campfire menu. Check out the PVP flags waving in the wind:


What do you think so far?

Gate of Fate
The gate is placed
igniting the portal
What will next emerge-
Undead, monster or mortal?




Today we are featuring this fun Chaos spell - and chaotic it is! By using this spell, you place a physical gateway on the board that will summon whatever is the next available unit in your hand.

This card features the silhouette of our Anthropod Walker, seen here:

GameDev & Biking Update!

Ross has been hard at work finishing up bug fixes and planning our single-player missions.

On a separate note, Ross has been working a bit each evening to teach our little guy how to ride a bike, and tonight he got it for the first time!  ;D

Animating a Tortoise
We are working with our animator on making our campfire menu more dynamic. Earlier this week I showed you this video showcasing the flags of PVP moving. Now see the animation for the Tortoise Table, where you will create your decks for your battles:

Combo!
Summoners Fate features a combo mechanic that's triggered when an enemy is pushed into an ally via an attack with knockback. In this video, I've added some VFX and SFX to emphasize the combos being triggered as well as the "Overkill" mechanic where the unit has been defeated by damage greater than its remaining life.



*Note: This is work in progress  ;)

Sorry to say, but I'm not a big fan of these additions. Too intrusive imho.

Saturday Fun
Today we took a bit of a break and watched a great new sci-fi show on Netflix called "Dark Matter." Has anyone else watched this? We really enjoyed it.

Have a great Saturday night!  ;D
