Price Change and Callasia Art Challenge (iPad Launch and Tournament postponed)

FacebookTwitterGoogle+Share

Due to last minute technical issues, we will be postponing the iPad launch to September 8. We want to make sure everything is in order when we welcome our new players! Unfortunately this means postponing some of the things we’ve planned for this week, but we are still pushing through with the art contest, the Stoneborne party, and most importantly, the new retail price.

Price Change

You asked, we listened: You wanted more players, and we’re looking for ways to deliver them. As Legends of Callasia moves to a true cross platform release on iOS, we’re dropping the price to make an even more successful release on that platform – and matching that price on Steam. Effective today, Legends of Callasia will be available for a list price of $14.99 USD. Like always, you only need to pay once to get the game in all platforms (PC, Mac, and iOS – soon on Android).

As a special thank you for supporting us early on, players who purchased the game before the price change will receive the limited edition heroes from Early Access: Val of Hundred Kingdoms, Tigris of Faeborne, and SkeleKing of Revenant. We will announce when the heroes are added to your accounts.

Art Contest

We are inviting artists to create artworks for the Legends of Callasia Art Challenge! Interested participants must join our Discord server (http://discord.me/legendsofcallasia) and show their first WIP by September 23, and submit their final artworks on October 7.

 

Postponed Events

To give everyone a fair chance for the tournament, we are postponing the leaderboard reset until the iPad version is launched. We also won’t be doing a 24-hour livestream this week, but the Stoneborne Kickstarter party will continue on August 30, 10PM EST on Twitch (http://www.twitch.tv/legendsofcallasia)!

For comments and suggestions, drop by our Discord server (discord.me/legendsofcallasia) and watch our livestreams on Twitch (twitch.tv/legendsofcallasia) – we have a 24-hour marathon to celebrate the iOS launch! You can also email us at legends@boomzap.com or contact us through the in-game Feedback button.

Steam Keys, Underground Terrains, and Twitch Party on August 30

Hello again, especially to our Kickstarter backers!

First things first: we sent out the surveys for your backer rewards! Hope you’ll send us the names and info we need (if you still haven’t) so we can start implementing them in the game and have the DLC out as soon as possible. We’ve also sent out the Steam keys for the original game, if you pledged $25 and above. If you didn’t receive anything, please let us know.

And to celebrate the Kickstarter’s success, we would like to invite you all to a Twitch party onAugust 30, 10PM Eastern Standard Time (August 31, 10AM Singapore Time). Watch us live here: twitch.tv/legendsofcallasia

We can play some multiplayer matches on the main Legends of Callasia game, and show you some of our progress for the Stoneborne DLC.

Here are some WIPs of the new terrain types for Stoneborne’s underground maps!

Hope this helps those who are coming up with names for territories and kingdoms as part of their backer rewards. Currently we have the following terrain types: Orevein, Lichen Swamp, Ashwastes, Underplains, Fungal Forest, and Brokenlands.

In case you can’t make it to the livestream, you can chat with us over at our Discord server. The dev team is there as well as other Callasia players looking for people to play with. We’ll also post game updates and our stream schedules there.

Here’s the link to our Discord server: discord.me/legendsofcallasia

You can also send us a PM with your Discord username if you’d like to be tagged as one of our Kickstarter backers, and get automatic street cred!

Again, thank you very much for your support. See you at the Twitch party!


Patch Notes v1.0.2.14 – Card FX and Siege Master Change

We just a dropped a relatively small update that includes a rework on Siege Master hero trait, some new Card FX, and other bug fixes.

Patch Notes v1.0.2.14

  • Heroes
    • Reworked how Siege Master works. It now provides a x1.75 multiplier to DEF bonuses that a City or Tower-type improvement provides. The multiplier will only be in effect if the Hero is standing on a territory with a City or Tower-type improvement.
  • Cards
    • Added special effects to most cards to better show what they do. For example, if you use a +ATK or +DEF card, once it gets played you’ll see a Sword or Shield icon respectively.
  • Other Adjustments
    • Text adjustments for some territories and in-game messages.
    • Miscellaneous bug fixes and network optimizations.
