likelyhood of expansions here on BGA?

I know it’s probably VERY early to ask, but I do it anyway :-)

Is there any chance for an implementation of (any of) the expansion(s)?

Hi ferion (if you are still around :) ),

Thanks for your suggestion!
Hum, frankly, I would say less of 10% :/
The thing is I commit myself into a long process to develop the original game I am not really willing to dive back into that. The next logical move would be to develop Echoes, which is a wonderful expansion (the most worthy I think), but there is so much to do:

-Introduce new basic mechanisms: bonus icon, forecasting, echoes effects...

-Code the brand new 110 cards (inclunding the 5 new special achievements). Their effects seem to be more complicated in average than the those of the base game.

-Update the graphics of the game. The Asmadi graphics used in BGA are already out-to-date :( even for the base game. The icon layout changed. The frame for dogma effects changed: there is now an additional frame I'd must deal with when writing over the card for translation. This is a tricky-boring job really because it does not add any functionality to the game itself.

If there is any motivating dev around, I would be delighted to explain my code though, so that it can continue the project!
For the moment I prefer to involve more time into developping another game for BGA (a classic card game), that is quite refreshing :)

Thanks!

Tcheby

Cities is (by far) the simplest of the expansions. If you start anywhere, that's where you start.

Tchebychev, I am interested in adding one of the expansions.

Do you think you could give me a kick start? Also, I'm not sure how I would create the equivalent of a feature branch in the dev studio. I don't want to muck with your great work while I'm trying to learn.

FYI, I have started on Cities. If anyone wants to beta test when its ready, let me know.

what is the code written in? I'd love to develop echoes.

Still any need for beta testing? I love the game and would be happy to volunteer some time.

Anyone still working on the expansions? I'd be quite happy to test-play any of them if needed :)
