3D Arena Development Update

Version 1

A first attempt to create the environment we are seeking.
 


Version 2

The first iteration. The arena's ground structure starts taking the desired shape.



Version 3

The second iteration. Shaders and more details are emerging. Still a lot to work ahead but the direction is clear:
Granting the player access to an epic environment worthy the cards being played and the time we spend playing.



Outlook

Besides this, Waldemar and myself are doing heavy playtesting during these days to finalize the game mechanics for the prototype.
Creating a card game with rules that make good sense and are fun to play is a very iterative process with every match we play.
I would have liked to come to the release of the prototype this year but considering the duration that all the processes connected
to the creation of our prototype take, I expect the prototype to be ready by spring 2018. Rather than creating false hype around
roadmaps based on nothing, I prefer sharing my honest opinion with you. What we are doing here is trying to create an epic game
under a very limited budget (we have not done an ICO so far). We have already come a long way and I know we will get there,
it only needs time to reach the quality we seek. Also, I would like to speak out a huge thank you to all AoC supporters!
You are the ones making this possible. If you ever happen to be in Berlin, I invite you to a physical playtesting
Age of Chains match, so you can start experiencing the feeling of the game yourself.
