Patreon has been such an unbelievable assist to me that I am giving a thanks shout out to the Patreon workers in addition to to all my patrons. (My Patreon is right here, btw.) Patreon is a method for individuals to straight assist the artistic individuals they need to assist. It isn’t for a particular undertaking like a Kickstarter, however moderately for all the pieces that particular person is doing. It is really much more enjoyable than kickstarter as a result of I get to indicate all of the in-progress stuff I am engaged on.
Here is a rundown of what I have been doing over on my Patreon recently.
Final month, I supplied early entry to (bodily) Codex playing cards. Codex is a brand new tackle customizable card video games. If you would like to be taught extra about Codex, this is three articles in regards to the sport’s design:
#1 Codex Design: Playing cards and Gold As Sources
#2 Codex Design: Heroes and Tech Buildings
#3 Codex Design: Fight and the Patrol Zone
Anyway, all these Codex early entry units already shipped out and my patrons usually play one another over Skype. In the event you missed out on that, you possibly can really nonetheless get bodily playing cards by way of this submit (requires $25+ patron degree). Although you may as nicely wait till subsequent week as a result of there might be a steadiness replace inside per week.
Final week I posted a brand new Uncooked Recreation Design podcast episode (for $10+ patrons) the place I focus on “reset buttons” in Codex (playing cards that blow up the board so you possibly can presumably come again from a really dangerous place). I additionally focus on some modifications to the Tower add-on. It is a solution to detect stealth / invisible items and it is tough to provide the correct quantity of detection. Lastly, we focus on what Geiger’s strikes might be within the Fantasy Strike combating sport.
I additionally posted an replace to the Codex rulebooks right this moment for patrons of any degree.
Inside a pair days, I plan to submit a giant replace to the Codex print-and-play model (for $25+ patrons) that has dozens of steadiness modifications based mostly on the final month of playtesting. Inside per week of that, the identical modifications might be accessible as bodily playing cards to patrons of any degree (for simply the price of printing + delivery).
Final and definitely not least, I plan to submit a brand new playable model of Fantasy Strike, our simple-yet-deep combating sport (for the $25+ patrons). There’s a little bit bit of information on the sport right here: http://www.sirlin.web/fantasystrike
The brand new construct has a great deal of bug fixes, a couple of steadiness changes, and a brand new playable character, bringing our solid as much as 4 to this point. We’ve Grave, who has a projectile and is an all-around type of man. Jaina additionally has projectiles, and a few rushdown functionality, however the place she actually shines is zoning together with her loopy impediment course of flame arrows. Rook is a grappler’s dream, having nearly each device a grappler might hope for. And our latest solid member is Valerie, a manic painter who’s all about rushdown. She could bear some gameplay resemblance to Fei Lengthy. 😉
We have been focusing totally on gameplay to this point, however we’ll be upping our manufacturing values quickly. In the event you’re an knowledgeable 3D fight animator, or a visible results artist (in Unity), or a 3D environmental artist, get in contact with us at jobs@sirlingames.com. We’re additionally on the lookout for a volunteer idea artist to assist with our phases. Idea artists simply have to know combating video games and the Fantasy Strike characters to work with us on the look of the phases. We’d like assist in all these areas, however one other skilled fight animator is what we’d like essentially the most.
Thanks once more to all my patrons. Your assist is far appreciated and all of the funds go straight into these tasks.
