QUOTE (Si.Ner.Ge @ Oct 29 2009, 11:58 PM) quotecOoh, I like card games.Will there be a story/setting, or is it focused purely on the competitive aspect? From the preview outfits it seems to be somewhat steampunk-ish...the necros have metal gauntlets and the bandits have gear decorations on their clothes.QuoteEndQuoteEEndThere is in fact no story to be spoken of -- but when the theme is revealed, the reason why there is no story will make more sense.With that said, we're highly anticipating expanding this concept into a larger MMO down the road if the card game is successful, and we will definitely have a world built around that.If there is a world, it would be one more along the lines of Pokemon. That is to say, this card game would be a game that people play in an alternate universe. It would be a really popular game that lots of kids play, and they would probably compete using physical cards or playing virtually using a device of some sort -- maybe something resembling a Nintendo DS or a PSP, but obviously a bit different and probably designed only to play this widely popular game. Perhaps some ideas from Megaman Battle Network would be similar to our concept.In any case, we haven't put much thought into that possible world idea because we're really focusing on the card game first. Why not do the whole thing at once instead of doing the card game then the world? Well, unfortunately, we are a 3 man team and the project has to be completed in a reasonable timeframe. While it's true that An created the entire massive world of Genesis on his own, he spent over a year to complete it. While I love his work and I think it is a great labor of love and amazing talent, spending that amount of time on a game is not possible when we're doing this full-time without jobs or means of security. So, the compromise we must make is that we have to create a great core game -- and if that core game generates enough following, we will add more and more to it for the rest of time, because truly this is a dream project for all 3 of us. We want to create a game people can play for years and not get bored or feel like they've collected everything or lost their reason to play.If we can achieve that -- we will build it further into a world, and beyond. I sincerely hope that the fans here on An's board will support us in doing that, because it'll mean more great stuff for everyone to play. And of course, if we do manage to add a world to the game, An would be leading the art initiative for avatars, environments, and enemy art. So... yeah, even more of the good stuff!

I never would have expected to be a card game and am most intrigued by it. However, I am not a big fan of Yuigioh and gave up Pokemon a long time ago.Nevertheless, I will still play the game and crush anything that doesn't relate to science (while still keeping it a fantasy)It's just what I

The initial game will most likely have no story as I was saying, but IF we are able to expand it into an MMO, then it would have a story attached. It would be a story based around the game that we have. Still, thats a very far off and hypothetical idea. What we're more focused on now is just making a rad game with great collectib

uring the development, we decided to turn this project into a full flash MMO with proper battle system instead of just card battle. It may take a while but it will be lot more

QUOTE (EternalLurker @ Oct 27 2009, 04:33 AM) quotecIs this a Fullmetal Alchemist reference? Ya know, the Right Hand of Scar 'n' all that jazz?Also, An, can you give an estimate as to the approximate date when this veil of secrecy can be lifted, allowing you to give us more details regarding this project? Or perhaps even an ETA for the final release? Is this a game that'll be released in a month or in a year? Some sense of time would help those who may otherwise be waiting in an unhealthy state of constant anticipation for far too long.QuoteEndQuoteEEndI was thinking the same thing. LOVE full metal if i was on the show i would be known as the Black Blood Alchemist(EL) The first anime is awful. Read the manga.
