Meet the man behind all the artwork in Archmage Rises!  As we continue to work on build 11, we take a moment to introduce you to longtime team member Rogier van de Beek.  We ask your questions (and some of our own) about his background, how he became a game artist, work on other RPGs like World of Warcraft TCG, Pathfinder, and Starfinder, and his work on the game.  

Short update this week on minor progress towards Build 11.  We discuss indie games like RimWorld that provide more compelling gameplay than many AAA experiences. 

Today, day 3, I explore more of the weird, fascinating aspects of gaming available at GenCon.  From Sharkbears to Pizza games, to Female Pink Darth Vader today its the biggest day of all!

Day 2 was even more interesting than Day 1 as new discoveries abounded everywhere I looked!  Wait till you see Photosynthesis the board game, or Mongolian Goat Rodeo!  Truly GenCon is the greatest 4 days in gaming!

Thomas is in Indianapolis at GenCon 50th anniversary for the best game convention for RPGs and board games.  Here is what he found...

This week is a short week because Thomas is heading off to GEN CON 50, 50 years of the best 4 days in gaming!

So we taken on recently asked questions from Steam, FB, and YouTube and give you answers, some you've never heard before!

We dive into progress this week in generating the living breathing world and then layout the 3 steps necessary to getting Build 11 out in, we think, early Sept.
 

Nic and Thomas share what we've been working on: Thomas built way too much fishing functionality, and Nic continues bringing the world alive with the NPC Relationship screen.
 

We show how NPC interaction goes far beyond anything found in any other game.  ANY NPC can join you and participate in ANYTHING from fishing to fighting, dance to dungeons.

We are in Portland at CGDC, meet James the musician in this interview debacle.
