Hey guys. I havent been around for a long while but I wanted to show off a game that I've been designing for the past year (along with Tsukiyome, Zealot and a team of artists). Advent Saga is a tactical card game in the sense that it's played on a 4x4 board and the battle phase is more akin to Tactical RPGs rather than normal CCGs. By properly maneuvering your Armada, picking your battles and utilizing other types of cards to fortify your force, the goal is to decimate your opponent's morale.
Right now there's absolutely nothing to sell, we're just trying to get the word out since we just started beta sign-ups. We'll be releasing a lot of promotional material as well as tutorials for those who are interested in how the game plays. You can view the trailer that we had running on the streams at APEX2014 below.
If you're at all interested in card games (we plan on going digital first for financial and balancing reasons), strategy games, or even tactical RPGs, feel free to check us out at AdventSaga.net
But no, if you even have a slight interest in CCGs, please do check us out. The feedback we got from Apex was that our game was fresh, varied, VERY WELL BALANCED, and fun.
Advent Saga is a Digital Tactical Card Game (DTCG) that combines the excitement and traditions of popular card games, with the strategic, all-out war elements of Tactical RPGs. Utilizing a 4x4 battlefield for deep new possibilities in combat and maneuverability, Advent Saga gives players deeper control of their actions and strategy than traditional CCGs. It is a science fiction epic, putting the player in the position of battling for galactic control while unraveling the mystery of how the war began.
Pro-Gen Studios is an independent development group comprised of designers, artists, developers, and writers with backgrounds in MMOs, fighting games, and traditional tabletop games. They have been collaborating on Advent Saga since January 2013, offering a unique sci-fi gaming and media experience to casual and competitive gamers alike.

Launching this year on PC/Mac/iOS/Android.
Back it at Kickstarter and gain access to the upcoming beta and more. Other potential backer rewards include a comic book for those who may not be into card games but want a story. Physical playtester kit for people who want to learn how to play before launch and have a copy of the game to show friends.
Thank you for your support. Unfortunately, We did not meet our goal for Advent Saga on kickstarter. However, during the time of our campaign we received a lot of feedback from players wanting to have cards of their own. This is something we want to make available to you, and additionally, we see this as a great way for us to continue production on the Advent Saga, both digitally and physically.
With that being said, we'd like to announce the opening of our online store featuring 4 packages that will give each of you a physical Alpha Kit of your own and additional physical and digital rewards. The packages will be mailed out in waves of every 100 buyers beginning in September and all the proceeds will go directly to funding the development of Advent Saga, both as a physical and digital game.
Will next be in the PAX Diversity Lounge at PAX Prime, Alpha & Beta access in the coming months
Advent Saga will be at the PAX Diversity Lounge this year with physical Alpha Starter decks on hand for you to purchase in person and the Alpha Digital Game for players to battle it out online. We will also be giving out physical copies of the Tycho and Gabe Advent cards.
During the start of our kickstarter we came across a few bumps in the road that delayed our Alpha Build from going public. We wanted to ensure we were displaying a model of our game you would enjoy. Our team worked very hard to fix all of these issues and we now have the Alpha Build ready for public view. Over the next few months we will be announcing Alpha Access weekends and allow you to experience the game first hand.
To be included in the Alpha Access Weekends, please make your way to our website and sign up for BETA. We will be choosing our Alpha Access participants from that list.

I assume this is you, Ryko? I didn't get a chance to listen to the whole thing, but I just happened to come across it because I listen to a few of the MtG podcasts there and now I might have to check out your game now.
I've actually been keeping a tally of times I've posted without referring to her in any way, and you just ruined it by making me mention it. This is unpleasant.
