Hello Steam Friends!
We have a ton happening at Spiritwalk, and we wanted to check in here because we're getting close to opening the game up on Steam!
Early Access = April 6!
We are on track to launch on Steam Early Access on April 6. If you haven't already, add Shardbound to your Wishlist and Follow the game!
Progression v1 is now in private pre-Alpha testing: Box opening and Card Crafting
Yesterday, Zalgus live-streamed the addition of the last couple of features needed to complete progression.
Check out the VOD here ... https://www.twitch.tv/videos/131674025
Pro-tip ... skip ahead to 18:00 to get to the goods! While you're there, click the Heart in the upper right to follow us on Twitch!
If you don't want to watch the VOD, here are the basics:
The Treasury: Opening Boxes
You can open any boxes you earn in the Treasury. When you open a box, you will receive a choice of 3 cards of a randomly designated rarity. If you already have two of a card, you will have the choice of receiving a payout of Chroma instead.
The Treasury: Store
In the Treasury, you can enter the store to purchase boxes with Chroma. In a future patch, you will be able to buy Boxes or our Welcome Bundle for real currency.
The Barracks: Crafting Cards
You can now use your Chroma to craft specific cards. In the barracks, choose the card you’d like to craft and Right-Click it to view that card’s details. From the details page, simply choose to Recruit the unit or Learn the spell.
What's Next?
What the completion of progression means is that the game is essentially ALPHA (basic feature complete). We're going to put this through test on our private servers for another week, then bring it to you guys here in Early Access.
We're looking forward to seeing everyone in the game next week when it launches into Early Access. In the meantime, come hang out with the community on Reddit and Discord.
Cheers,
Everyone at Spiritwalk Games
