Clash of Magic shares the same category with Magic: The Gathering and Hearthstone. Clash of Magic owns races like Minotaur, Specter, Troll and Elf which are quite familiar to the players. Besides, it has mage, priest, knight and other classes.

We are told that Clash of Magic has been developed over 22 months. Danny Li and Bruce Xu, two senior TCG players, are the designers of the game. They have won the championship, top 4, top 8 and other honors of Magic: The Gathering in China. 



Clash of Magic has been in CBT twice, with more than 8,700 players playing the game. Compared to Hearthstone, Clash of Magic differs in many aspects.

1)  Simultaneous Battle System
Clash of Magic adopts simultaneous action selection battle system which has never been used before.
Simultaneous action selection is a normal system in board games like Race for the Galaxy. In Clash of Magic, players have to make decisions at the same time. They have to predict the opponents’ actions according to the current situation. This kind of psychology gambling is quite fresh in card games.

2)  Fresh Battle Layout
As for the heroes layout, Clash of Magic has two rows (combat and backup), heroes of different skills will have different effect on different positions. 


 
3)  More Diverse Decks
There are 9 classes (9 skills in total) in Hearthstone, but in the Clash of Magic, all cards can be matched and there are 3 schools (21 skills in total). Players can have hundreds of decks with different cards.

 
   
4)  Unique Card Style
Every hero not only has the solid image on the card, but also has a cute fighting figure during a battle. 


  
5)  Smaller Size, Bigger Power
The client of Hearthstone surpasses 1G, while Clash of Magic is only 77M. Proved by Testin, the professional testing company in China, Clash of Magic applies 97% android devices.

6)  Data Proof
According to the inside data, average day 1 retention surpasses 47%, day 7 retention reaches 25%, paying rate reaches 2% and ARPPU reaches 50 USD.

Clash Royale Weekly Deck Recommendation: 3 Balloon Decks This Week!

$
0
0


Hello guys, from this week, I'll show you a weekly deck recommendation post where I'll compile several decks around with one key card. This week, our key card is the high damage Balloon!

Deck 1: Giant Balloon

Yesterday, I already introduced a Giant + Balloon deck, but today's deck is a bit different from that one. It's more budget so I guess it will be easier for you to build.
 

* Works in Arena 4-7
* Easy to play


Brief introduction:

It is the primer Balloon deck. All cards in this decks should be easy to grab and it works in Arena 4-7, which I believe is the stage where most of the players are in. Unlike the traditional Balloon attack way, Giant + Balloon combination will often use some other small troops as their cover so it can play in an unexpected way, which if they manage to get closer to your opponent's defense tower, it can easily take down one tower.

Deck 2: Freeze Balloon
 

* Works in Arena 6-7
* Hard to play

* Brief introduction:


Like the Freeze Hog Rider, it may be the most stable Balloon deck. However, unlike the fast Freeze Hog Rider, Balloon deck is a bit slow and the biggest difference may be that Balloon is a late stage card. Its advantage will be played more obvious when it gets to the late game. When in overtime phase, it only takes 6 seconds for Balloon to take down your opponent but it's a complete story for Hog Rider.

It requires players to master the perfect timing to play Freeze after Balloon is putting on board. But if you hold the Freeze in hand and get ready to play it at any time, you'll probably miss the chance to counter your opponent's other troops. So it needs you to be very nimble and response fast.

Deck 3: Raged Freeze Balloon
 

* Works in Arena 6-8
* Very hard to play

* Brief introduction:


It may look like an entertainment deck at first sight but you can't deny its power. Three cards that benefit most from Rage are all in this deck, namely Witch, Pekka and Balloon. To avoid high Elixir, this deck adds Skeletons and Elixir Collector. Pekka + Rage can easily kill any big ground troops while there are not many air troops that can stop the raged Witch.

Witch benefits most from the Rage spell because the skeletons she summoned and how fast she summoned will all be buffed by Rage so Witch would be the core card in the early game. Pekka in this deck is like the Balloon so it requires skills to play Freeze. To play this deck better, make sure you've already played the above two decks well or it will only keep losing the games.

Chronicles of Elyria Will Present a Playable Combat Demo at PAX East 2016

Chronicles of Elyria is one of the most anticipated sandbox MMORPGs now with its ambitious features (character aging, stuning visuals, dynamic environment, research-based crafting). At the forthcoming PAX East 2016, the developer Soulbound Studios will give the public the chance to play the game and check out the combat system for the first time. Looks like more hypes are on the way.

The game's business model is based on character's life. You'll need to pay for a full lifespan of your character which is about 10-16 months depending on how you play. The fee, according to the dev, is about the same as the cost of an expansion.

Adult VR Game BeacHouSeX: Exclusive Interview with the Developers

$

We introduced you the latest adult VR title BeacHouSeX from Citor3 Entertainment last month and we just interviewed the developer studio's CEO Jari Vuoristo and game producer Kafuji Sato for more details and future plans of the game.

Jari Vuoristo


Firstly, we are wandering that why your team wants to develop an adult VR game?

Jari: The amount of the adult games has decreased radically due piracy. We felt the virtual reality and improved game protection mechanisms provided by ImagineVR might give us a possibility to breathe new life to this genre. The world is full of adventure and war games, but we wanted to enter the market from another angle, offering adults the content they want. The BeacHouSeX is our first real product and it is also a benchmark for us, giving the vital information for the future developement. If people love it, we will expand the game covering online gaming, chat and hugely extended world to play.
 
How many people are working on the development of this game recently? And please give a brief introduction of CITOR3.

Jari: Our team size varies, depending on the project. The headquarter office is in Finland, but the team works online around the world. We are not an traditional company and this method allows us the choose the best talents for each project. The BeacHouSeX was done by team of 3 talents + group of freelancers. The future plan of the game is in the hands of our script-team, so it’s bit difficult to pinpoint the exact amount of the people involved as the input of every individual varies.

Citor3 Entertainment Studio was founded in 2015. The company is spiderweb-form and all coordination and decisions is made in Finland. Our goal is to become the leading adult VR production company for western and orient markets. To reach this goal we will need funding and manpower, as we still are in start-up phase. We hope the BeacHouSeX will make this possible for us. We have entered the market humble, listening the feedback, respecting the players, learning and improving our work. After all – we do everything for our players.


 
Are there many differences between developing an adult game and other genres like traditional fantasy RPG? If so, please tell me what the biggest difference is.

Jari: The adult VR content requires much more detailed planning and modelling for the characters, as EVERY part of the human body must be animated. We are still in the learning path of dfifferent techniques finding the most cost-effective ways to overcome difficult technical tasks. Naturally the funding dictates currently what we can do, but creativity is key to everything. The BeacHouSeX is done in traditional way without motion capture, so sometimes the path for the results is bit longer.

Another huge difference is that we need to cope with the fact that not everyone wants to associate themselves with the genre we are in. Although we get lot of good feedback from all around the world, we won't be able to promote our game on the Oculus platform for example. Their policy prohibits it to sell adult content in the store. You have to overcome these setbacks and carry on in what we believe!
 
A large number of Chinese people have never seen this game before. Could you tell us how to play this game?
 
Jari: The BeacHouSeX is very simple – in the first release you don’t have to look for company – the player will be lucky, every time. As this is a probing game for this genre, we had set the limits offering the player exactly what he wants and keep the production costs reasonable. So the storyline is short; after the day at the beach you hear a knock at your door and a beautiful woman wants to change the room towels. She looks at you and you both know towels are not important anymore. This is where the game starts – maybe better call it a simulation – as the elements are related to love and sex.
  
Kafuji Sato



Since last time we reported this game, some readers left comments on our site saying that they play adult games or watch adult videos to satisfy their physiological needs. What do you think about that? Do your think your game can satisfy their demand?
 
Kafuji: Yes, Adult games can satisfy physiological needs as well as psychological needs, especially for men. In fact the typical player use their own hand to satisfying himself but  the visual presence of VR is really powerful to make the experience believable that if the player is really having fun with beautiful partners. There's also more advanced goods you can use to satisfy yourself , electronically powered silicon holes  for example, if you can afford one. Thus VR Adult games help people's life a lot in physiological way and psychological way. I've heard that there's so many unmarried single people in China. I believe having VR sex is far better than having sex with random prostitutes or raping someone. Because it's safe and cheap at many meanings. 
  
How much content does the game offer to players? How does the game's heroine AB4 attract players to keep interacting with her rather than just giving them one-off experience without more enjoyment?

Jari: The game's strength lies in the possibility to experience the scene. If you put on your VR headset and stare at the breasts of the heroine you get the feeling you're there! the second you lean into her face and look her straight in the eyes, the immersion is real! That's the strength of this first version of beach house sex. We want to show people what it's like to be in a room with a beautiful girl who does whatever she wants with you. Showing off this experience to your friends and watch them react when they reach out for the heroine's breasts is what makes this game stand out. In the future we hope to expand this concept, but for that we need the initial funds to make that happen!

In a few months time our game 'FemDomination' will come out. With that game we take Virtual reality and adult contact to a whole new level and we can't wait to show the world what we have to offer!!


 
What's your development plan for the game in the aspect of game content?

Jari: We would like to expand this to the afternoon / evening by the beach. As an online game, it would offer an virtual holiday for the players. We have a possibility to create a moment in time which would normally happen only in your dreams – and we could make it real in virtual reality.
 
Some of our users want to ask if your team ever considered making corresponding adult content for the players with various sexual orientations?

Jari: We have been thinking about it and in the future we will create wide range of games for different tastes. We also know there is lots of talents is China for game creation and the best information and knowledge of the genre comes from orient – so we are still looking for talents to join us! Just email tojobs@citor3.com
 
As we know, a lot of adult games are not permitted by law in China currently. But we still like to know if you have any promotional plan in the Chinese market in the future?
 
Kafuji: Yes, I know that China's law is not allowing porn industry. But also that I know is so many Chinese people is big fan of adult contents from Japan. AV actress Aoi Sora is very famous in China for example.  The reality is where many man exists then there should come up with high demands for adult contents. Thus we think Chinese market is relatively important for us. In the same time we have respect for the law in China. There's not any promotional plan but we can not stop Chinese people accessing to our site.  Also we won't face any piracy problem. Because our DRM system is really, really robust. We are confident on this. 

Crowfall Details Its Campaign System

In a recent interview with
 MMO.it, J. Todd Coleman, the creative director of Crowfall, provided some deep and interesting information regarding the campaigns of the game. He started by comparing them to a world cup, arguing how even if a competing team lost this one cup and will still have the opportunity of winning the next one, history will only remember this as a failure. Put simply, his point is that each campaign will be memorable and have a large impact on the experience of players, even beyond its conclusion.
 

He further extended this point, implying that every single campaign will be a simple experience, at least in the early stages of the game. Effectively, both before and after the launch, the developers will constantly tweak the rules, format and other details of the campaigns, experimenting and trying out new ideas of what they call "find the fun".

The end of a campaign, while quite simple at the moment, is also planned to be large event by itself, with fireworks and a fanfare, basically making it quite rewarding to the winners.

The New Adorable Pets Are Ready to be Collected in Shakes & Fidget

As previously announced, developer Playa Games has released the Pets into the wacky world of multiplatform MMORPG Shakes & Fidget. All heroes can now look for, collect, level up, and draw on the help of the new Pets. 
 
100 Elemental Helpers 

In the battle against monsters and other players, heroes now have a total of 100 cuddly Pets standing ready at their sides. The Pets draw their strength from the five elements of fire, water, earth, light, and shade. Twenty Pets are allocated to each element, ready to support players with their different abilities. Each element has 14 common, 4 rare and two epic Pets waiting to be found.
 
100 New Levels

To benefit from the new pets you first need to track them down. Across the entire world of Shakes & Fidget there are now eggs waiting to be found and hatched. However, not all eggs are available everywhere and at all times. One Pet, for example, only appears at night, another only in winter. Once an egg has been collected, the hatched Pet must be fed and strengthened. All Pets can be leveled up with special feed to level 100 to help their high-level owners better. All Pets are also assigned an attribute: a high number of fire Pets, for example, increases the luck attribute bonus. 
 
New Ways to Use

The new Pets not only look fun, they also cut a fine figure in the dangerous world of Shakes & Fidget. Five new dungeons ready to be explored with the Pets are included in the update. Each completed level of a habitat increases the player’s attributes. And completely clearing a dungeon earns them an epic Pet as a reward.
 
Not only that, but players can also pit their Pets against each other in the new Arena. All the Pets collected for each element can fight side by side as a group once a day, allowing up to five of the new PvP battles each day. The winners can look forward to being promoted to the new Pets Hall of Fame and to feed for their adorable army.  More information could be found on the official forum here.
