Video Game concept- Sand Golem
Added 2017-08-07 19:14:57 +0000 UTCYou didn't think they only came in one size?
We haven't seen 'em in the graphic novels yet, but we will. Sandmen can be constructed in a variety of ways, and the Sand Golem is considerably larger and more formidable than your standard Sandman.
Our video game buddy was over this week, so we splurged again and sketched up a range of enemies we've been planning for the game. Spike Pukers, Hive Bats, Sand Golems, and more- samples to come.
We also drafted the range of standard attacks for Mace, so we can begin constructing and testing the combat system this fall. A few days of sketches should open up a lot of gameplay testing opportunities.
Stay tuned, Patrons- we're expecting to need playtesters in the coming months, and you're gonna be on the frontlines.

Yep- some of the monsters will be featured both in the SKIRMISH cards, and in the video game (and, later in the story, the graphic novels.) Things will be tweaked to complement their respective mediums, but things should match up nicely. E )

2017-08-07 20:38:02 +0000 UTCI saw this guy (and the other designs) in the Skirmish desktop art you shared! Or at least some sort of Sandman golem design.

2017-08-07 19:55:38 +0000 UTCPlaytesting should be fun! We have to do a lot of internal stuff first- but we have some outstanding questions about precise fine tuning on combat, like whether combos should move the player forward or not- so designing some playtesting protocols and letting you guys provide feedback should help us out with considerations like that.

2017-08-07 19:50:12 +0000 UTCOh Boy, that definitely looks like tougher opponent for Mace and the gang. Can't wait to see them square off against one in either the game or Graphic novels! Glad to hear you've got more development down for the game alongside everything else. Would love to see what the playtesting date has to offer. ^^
