Volfyirion Guilds is now in Alpha!

[fradiesis]

Hi everyone!

We are happy to announce that Volfyirion Guilds is finally available in Alpha for all BGA testers who would like to contribute.

The new deck building card game from Tabula Games is currently being funded on Kickstarter. If you don't know about it yet, I would like to invite you to check out the campaign page on Kickstarter.

This is a first for us on BGA and it's also a special occasion. We thought of adapting Volfyirion Guilds to this platform to offer more entertainment to our backers and why not, expand our community and give those who want the opportunity to try our game. Over the past few days and still through July 30, Volfyirion Guilds backers split into 3 teams to participate in a card draft that unlocked the campaign's stretch goals. They'll soon find the same cards here and be able to play in their team colors.

Thanks to intense teamwork, we are now here to launch our first Alpha! Will you join us?



About Volfyirion Guilds

Volfyirion Guilds is a competitive, fast-paced deck-building card game, for 1-4 players.

The events of Volfyirion Guilds take place immediately after the events of Volfyirion, our previous title belonging to the same series set up in the Mysthea Universe.
The story revolves around 5 major Guilds, created by the king of Mysthea in order to stop the rise of the Volarees house.
Each player represents a Guild and will fight for supremacy until the very end. The winning condition is destroying all the 3 opponent’s cities.
Attack with your troops, focus on deck thinning, trigger powerful combos, and enthrall the dragon Volfyirion to annihilate your opponent’s cities.
An intense and highly strategic card game with a lot of replayability where, on average, a match lasts about 20-40 minutes.

From now until the Beta release, the game will be available for testing through this group.
Please report any bugs and suggestions on the tracking page.

I don't know if it's right, but it appears as Beta now. However, from the interface it looks like Alpha:

* Cards are too small to read names or symbols.
* No explanation of what the symbols mean (even referring to the manual, the symbols are often too small to see).
* Hovering on a card, instead of popping out a bigger version and an explanation, pops out the same size image plus some other seemingly unrelated cards?
* Card in vault has no effect. Is this intended? The manual seems to say it should be a permanent effect.
* Agents on cards are returned to hand instead of allowing to "buy" the card below.
* No replay possibility.
* No possibility to see removed cards.
* No display of how many cards on opponent's hand (not that it's needed, but may help for knowing how much is left of their turn).
* Game progress stuck at 0%, so not possible to concede game.

To clarify this, here is the message that was posted on the game group yesterday:

Dear reviewers, Volfyirion Guilds is now in BETA to allow backers from the ongoing Kickstarter campaign ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ta ... ion-guilds ) to try the game online on BGA during the last week of the campaign. The game will be back in ALPHA at the end of the campaign. You can of course continue playtesting and giving your feedback to the Volfyirion dev team to allow them to polish the game!

Quick update about Volfyirion Guilds adaptation.

The game has been allowed in beta for limited time, to let our fans have a preview before the end of the Kickstarert campaign.
Despite the limitation, we did our best to make the adaptation fit the bill. Unfortunately, in the middle of the testing phase, the BGA staff reported numerous irregularities that would have negatively affected the game experience, and there were still several bug fixes to be done.
So we had to go back to Alpha a few hours earlier than estimated.

Now our work doesn't stop, on the contrary, we're working hard to solve the problems that testers have reported to us.

The mobile version of the game has become more accessible and functional, the zoom previews of the cards are implemented and little by little we are going through all the reports.

We thank each one of you for your support and will continue to do our best to bring Volfyirion Guilds to your screen.
