Dev Blog #2 (October 2023)
27 October 2023
Hello once again, Tacticians!
October has been a rather busy month for us! As we’ve discussed during the previous Dev Blog, we’ve been preparing a new version of the game to showcase during an upcoming consumer gaming show…
But before we get into that, let’s check some of the changes that we brought to Skygard Arena this October!
Our PvE campaign
As mentioned in our previous Dev Blog, we have decided to create a solo PvE campaign in Skygard Arena, in addition to the separate PvP mode that some of you tried out during the Alpha playtest.
We are currently designing the various missions and the progression systems for your squad of Heroes inside this PvE campaign. One of our goals is to offer thematic tactical battles with each of the Factions of Skygard.
For instance, to unlock our cutest panda Champei in this PvE adventure, you will have to prove your worth against her and her leafy minions in a thematic mission focused around positioning and controlling specific objectives in the arena!
New VFX for Seraphine
Last time, we showcased some of the work we’ve done on Jorn, our brutish bruiser. This time, we’re more than happy to show how we’ve improved Seraphine’s visual effects on her abilities!
Our objective was both to showcase her immense power as a near-godlike being, but also her devotion and grace in combat. Take a look!
Come meet us @ Paris Games Week!
Last but not least, we’ve also been busy preparing our first physical showcase of Skygard Arena!
We’ll be presenting and showcasing Skygard Arena with a playable demo for the Paris Games Week convention, hosted under the Jeux Made in France (Games Made in France) section.
If you happen to drop by Paris, come check our booth from Wednesday, November 1st to Sunday, November 5th, where you’ll be able to play a free demo of the game! We’ll also be live on Twitch on Friday, November 3rd starting from 2:30 PM CET on casters Pepipin and Hiuuugs’ channels!
That’s all for October! Next time, we’ll gladly share our experience at Paris Games Week, alongside more exclusive, behind the scenes content, so stay tuned and see you in the Arena!
