Seven Sons

Card.jpgDice.pngTrained Spearman.jpgSeven Sons Cover.jpgLady Samurai.jpgHi guys! You may not remember me, but I was here a few years ago, as part of ASF (miss you guys!) ,and also as an intern for Shadow Era's design department.

I am here today to tell you all that I am now (Finally!) producing my own game. It's a board/card game, in physical form.

You can check out the Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/7sonsgame

The Facebook page is the best place to keep track of things for now, but I'll try to keep this thread updated as well.

The Kickstarter will launch within the next few weeks, so if you would like to help, please keep a look out for it!

About Seven Sons: Set in an eastern Fantasy world (east being Asia), Seven Sons follows the story of the seven male offspring of a powerful emperor. The Emperor's death leads to chaos, and a war of succession.

You will take the role of one of these seven sons, and either rise to glory or fall under the shadow of a sibling's rule.

Featuring tactical combat, risk management, massive battles in an easy to control format, and amazing card art, Seven Sons is in my opinion the best strategy game to come to your table in a long time! However, I need your help to make this game a reality. Please like our page and keep track of our progress as we continue on towards the Kickstarter.

Thanks so much!

Cool! Any images to display here?

I will check your KS page once its launched then, hopefully not too expensive shipping outside the US (if you do ship to outside of US that is).

Awesome!! Keep updating the status of your game

What we have on the Facebook page is pretty much it right now. (The Kickstarter is mostly for Art assets)

However, we have more art being completed every few days, so I'll see what I can do.

For now, here's some Cover Art: Seven Sons Cover.jpg

cool... keep on the work

btw are you sure about it? launching a game on your own? because there is a huge competition lying ahead

[Faolind]

I'm not alone, I have an artist at least XD

Additionally, I have to: It's a requirement for graduation.

I've been working on this for 2 years now, if I was ever ready, now would be the time.

I understand your concern though. Thanks!

Good luck on your endevaour.

There will always be competition, even though it would be optimal to make a game that people may trend into liking where the competition is minimal, that case is very rare and you shouldn't not do it just because there will be some competition. Besides, competition is a good thing, it makes you actually have to strive to create something good in the first place.

Anyways, I look forward to seeing what comes out at the kickstarter, good luck with this project. Although I do find it strange you need to make a commercial project to graduate?

[Faolind]

Ah, an explanation: I'm a game design major, but I'm also in the Honors program. The Honors program requires you to go above and beyond the graduation project of your major. The only thing I can think of to go above and beyond is to release a fully completed game. (the major already requires you to make a non-commercial game experience)
