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!

Yes! You have been such an awesome part of the Hero Mages community, so excited to have you part of the Summoners Fate community now. You've been a great support, and we're proud to have you among our talented gamers, Dieszy 
Not sure why I didn't see this before but hi, I'm Dieszy or Zach if you prefer. Grew up gaming with my brother/rival and dad, playing all types of games. First got into Hero Mages when Ross and Kelly were at Gencon way back when. Now I got my wife into gaming. Looking forward to see where this game goes.

You were there! 
Thanks for supporting our dream, Steve. So awesome of you.
Thanks for supporting our dream, Steve. So awesome of you.Hey all, Steve here.
I used to be an avid gamer playing everything from RPGs to FPS. Lately my gaming is pretty restricted to when my daughter is occupying herself, which is basically never. I actually have known Ross since grade school and was there when he an Kelly met. Which if memory serves me was in sophomore year honors chemistry (POCIUS!!!). Glad I can be a part of this game at it's inception and happy to see my friends living out their passion.

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.

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?

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!
Early Access Folks
To our Early Access Elites - do make sure you are checking the main page for the early access closed beta forum updates. Better yet, make sure you subscribe to the board so you never miss a post.

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.

GameDev Update
Today Ross and our animator Peter discussed some exciting directions for the single-player campaigns. As you know, Summoners Fate will not only be cross-platform but also encompass a rich single-player experience, asynchronous, real-time and on-demand, "desynchronous" cross-platform multiplayer. Of course, you will also play how you want with support for both landscape and portrait modes.
Have some ideas for single-player you'd love to share? We have a board for that!

GameDev Saturday
Game run quality is very important to Ross and me. To get Summoners Fate to run beautifully on PC, Mac, and various mobile devices, Ross must do a lot of optimization and adaptations. He's been working hard on that today and finishing up the technical design to get the iOS build completed.

Snowy Screenshots
They summoned a Yeti...
so I summoned a Red Dragon!
...I won. Beating a Yeti in its own snowy environment - so much fun.
Have a great Friday night! Hope you all are doing some fun gaming.

Watch Out for This Sucker
Somewhere between Withered and Skeleton lies the summoner Liche King...
His horrifying appearance is matched by his horrifying ability on the battlefield - with each damage he does to his opponent, he heals himself equally - literally sucking the life out of his enemies and getting stronger...
