Non-AR, Tutorial Overlays & 5 new creatures for Alpha (kicking off August 1st) — community update, July 6th 2018
Hey Guys!
In this week’s update I will be covering some new features and creatures that will be in place for Alpha. I hope you enjoy the read!
Alpha is coming in less than 4 weeks
Alpha is just around the corner and we’ll be battling in less than 4 weeks. For those who haven’t make sure you sign up and get ready to battle from August 1st.
A screenshot from our Token Holder Alpha (April 2018) below, and if that doesn’t entice you to sign up — Alpha has been in full-scale development since then and is going to be even more epic.
Non-AR mode
We’re excited to announce that we have built in a non-AR mode that places you right in the middle of Amber Woods which will be live for Alpha. We’ve included the non-AR functionality for a number of reasons — but mainly to ensure that players can battle and enjoy the game anytime, anywhere.
Non-AR allows for players with non AR-compatible devices to be able to partake and enjoy the game. This functionality also means that players can still battle at night and in low-light areas (or areas where AR tracking isn’t possible), and finally, for those players that are inclined to battle for hours and hours, the non-AR mode means that you can continue battling whilst lying down and relaxing.
In a nutshell — we’re ensuring that you can get more game-time and more battling experience in your own chosen epic settings or in the gorgeous Amber Woods in Alpha! A sneak peak of what battling in Amber Woods will be like will be shared just before Alpha and more regions to follow in the coming months.
Tutorial overlays
We heard all the feedback from our previous Alpha’s and we’ve implemented a tutorial overlay that explains the main screens — the home screen, the Deck Builder and the Battle screen.
New creatures for Alpha
There will be five new creatures available to play in Alpha. This means that there will be the five starter creatures (below) that you can choose from from the get-go, and five additional creatures that you can buy through Treasure Portals or receive in Reward Portals. Reward portals are granted when winning battles (for more information on Reward portals see this post).
The 5 new creatures are being revealed on Discord in a throwback game of #CreatureHangman! The first new creature, Chroma (below), was revealed last week after our community correctly guessed his name. Chroma hails from Serenity Lake, and is a witty, easy-go-lucky character that lives life on his own terms, and whose camouflage skin allows him to go unnoticed whenever a threat is near.
The second creature has been unveiled on discord during this week’s #CreatureHangman, if you want to be one of the first to check him out head over to Discord and our dedicated #CreatureHangman channel today. Be sure to check out the weekly game of #CreatureHangman.
Alpha is coming on August 1st, if you haven’t already make sure you sign up for Alpha today!
