in #steemmonsters6 years ago (edited)

You've been waiting for it....now here it is!!!!



Only 3 short months ago, Steem Monsters rocked the Steem world by releasing the first collectible card game on the Steem Blockchain!

You guys went nuts! Thousands of cards have been purchased, trades are being made, and the community is gathering to help create the fantasy lore.

Now, we are ready for round 2 of the most exciting step...... FIGHTING!


Game Play!

Here's a preview of Steem Monsters Game Play created by the Steem Monsters Game Development Team!



Watch how @aggroed makes an amazing comeback in this game! Just when it seemed that @yabapmatt had the upper hand, @aggroed's defense saved the day!

Keep in mind that this is still Alpha Game Play and we are in the process of working on music and sound effects for the battles with help from @harrisonmir and @isaria.

Games are slated to begin in September!

Now is the time to build up your Steem Monsters collection to prepare for battle!

The Monster Market on steemmonsters.com has made it easier than ever to complete your collection!


Thank you for your continued support!

Here are my thoughts:

  1. Loved the interplay between the cards and the weaponry that popped out. Cool idea
  2. Loved the buttons they get at the beginning of the battle, so you can charge them up with their abilities and so forth if you so desire - that was a question I had.
  3. Love how you show the subtraction of health or armor - that was good

QUESTIONS:

  1. will only like-levels play against each other, to make it more fair?
  2. But the other question I had was weather you can pick which card targets which opponent, or does it all just play out how you set it up in order?
  3. I'm assuming selecting additional abilities is something you might do only after you've seen what your opponent brings to the table?

REQUESTS:

  • I think it would be cool if the characters themselves could fly out of the frame of the card and inflict an attack, rather than the card itself. So like the weapons come out, so could the characters. just a visual preference. But maybe I'm the only one.

  • I also think it would be good to have it slowed down a nano second so it's easier to follow each move. But it could just be that the more I get used to it, the easier it will be to follow. I'm thinking in terms of commentating as well, though. So again, that's just a personal preference. Maybe I"m the only one there too.

Lastly, awesome job guys. I could not be more blown away. You guys seriously impressed the socks offa me tonight. Thanks for a fun show.

Cards target the front card from the opposing team, with a few caveats.
Snipe ability targets the first ranged or magic opponent.
Sneak ability targets the last opponent.
Melee cards can only attack from the front position, which is why frozen soldier was useless until spineback turtle died.
Ranged cards can't attack a card directly in front of themselves, so as we saw at the end there, peacebringer couldn't attack frozen soldier. He just stood there eating dirt until he died.

This is awesome, everyday I get more excited. Great work guys, keep it up, we the community are behind you 100%......

QUESTIONS

  1. What happens with an infinite loop sequence? Has that been looked into?
    (attack heal, attack heal... no one progresses)

  2. Why does white use 3 of it's attacks right in a row? Why not back and forth?
    Is that an ability of the summoner?

  3. Can you confirm that each monster gets ONE attack per round?
    If so what happens with unequally numbered teams?

  4. Is the order of attack determined at the beginning of the game or the beginning of each round?

  1. yes, unless abilities describe otherwise
  2. It is determined by the speed of each card

That is 3 and 4, but almighty steemitgod does not accept this at the start of a comment, in his wisdom.

ummmm what?

haha...he's saying that steemit didn't allow "3 and 4" without a 1 and 2 so it defaulted to 1 and 2, when he's in reality answering questions 3 and 4 :P

  1. So you're saying there can be a Draw/Tie?
  2. So it's not back and forth attacks... it's purely based off of speed only?

Ahhh what a comeback. I thought yaba was going to get his revenge!

Wow wow wow! It looks so damn cool! :D Can't wait to start beating eh - losing - eh enjoying the games! :D

Haha you'll be a champ!!

Awesome, I want to play already ☺️👍🏻

Do certain types of cards have specific abilities? For instance do all Feral Spirits have Sneak?

Nice production of the game.
