Behold the new and improved Sperl Squirrel!

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending our local Utah Indie Game Developer night meet-up and get some great feedback from fellow developers on the latest Summoners Fate build. The top fix that came out of this was a major improvement to the drag controls - players had discovered a bug that would prevent a seamless drag when selecting a character at the edge of its standing space with the mouse. As a result of the feedback, our controls are now a whole notch better!

I'm also pleased to share a major upgrade to our visual effects thanks to our friend Daniel Sperl, creator of the Starling framework, who just released an update to his particle extension. In situations where CPU bottlenecked and created low-frame rate, VFX would appear "staggered" instead of seamless. Several players recognized this effect in our early access (particularly with the conflagration spell). I'm happy to say, the new and improved "Sperl Squirrel" is ready to go!

Father vs. Son - a Tale of Two Dragons! (Skeleton dragons, that is!)

Greetings community!

I'm pleased to announce our latest pre-release build shall be launching soon. We're in the queue waiting for Apple review as I post. In celebration I'd like to take a moment to spotlight my son, Wesley, who helped out in testing and fixing bugs in preparation for the release.

Here's a replay of one of our father/son battles where Wesley managed to unleash his "master plan" of capturing my Skeleton dragon while controlling one of his own (Two dragons?!). It was a good fight, but dad didn't go easy on him and was able to use some clever maneuvering to take down the monstrous duo. It's a great example of the kind of exiting things that can happen during gameplay: the bonding between players, the outrageous and seemingly overpowered plays, and the depth of tactics that can be leveraged to overcome even the most dire situations.

TGIF!
Sorry that we've been a bit quiet this week. I was out in Virginia for the week while Ross has been hard at work with meetings, programming, and handling everything else at the homefront. It was all going smoothly until Wednesday...



Our son was injured at school and it turned out he has a broken wrist. The last two day Ross was busy with doctor's visits, hospital visits, and surgery for our little guy. He's in pain, but he's healing now! It was also extra hard for our son and Ross since I was on the other side of the country and could not help them.  :'(

On the gamefront, here's a fun screenshot of the Liche King completely surrounded by a myriad of squirrels! Think he'll make it?



Hope you all are doing some fun gaming tonight!  8)

When battling Skeletons in the rain, don't be afraid to send your squirrel missile to smite your enemy.  ;D

Deck Building on a Monday
Ross is back to developing the deck builder today. He's currently working on designing the sort options/filter modal. This is with all of the options toggled on. Here's a quick WIP snapshot:
