Hello
World,
It is with
great excitement that I announce that on April 19th, Trials of the
Magi was successfully Kickstarted with $4006, allowing us to even reach one of
our stretch goals. Thank you to everone who backed and supported the project,
it is with your help that this dream can be made a reality.
While the
past few weeks have been slow on the development front due primarily to the
overlap of the Kickstarter campaign and my engineering exams. We will be moving
ahead at full speed over the following months. School is out, allowing us to
dedicate a greater amount of our time to the project, ensuring that we can meet
all of this summer’s deadlines.
The first
of these deadlines will be hosting a table at Anime North in Toronto Canada on
May 22nd – 25th. Within this convention we will be
running a number open playtests for Trials of the Magi, as well as handing out
sample versions of the game. In addition, I will also be hosting a panel about
the basics of game design and getting started in the industry. Supporting me
with this presentation will be a close friend of mine and video game developer,
Jord Farrell. Between the two of us we should be able to provide a good view of
the industry.
From here
we will be supporting our good friends at Third Eye Games with their table at
Gen Con in Indianapolis on the July 31st weekend. During the
convention however I will also be looking to run a few more playtests for
Trials of the Magi. This will most likely be down the conventions games on
demand service, allowing new players to easily pick up and play the game.
With so
much on the horizon, you can look forward to plenty of updates and progress
over the upcoming months,
Thanks for
reading,
-Patrick
