Log #1 - A Dragon to tame

Volfyirion closed alpha

Welcome to the development blog of Volfyirion Digital game!

We’re finally able to share some more details about the great adventure we’ve been undertaking since Volfyirion first came to life as a card game.

First things first, here’s a brief introduction to our team!

Tabula Games, the whole crew follows this project in all aspects related to gaming and communication, from game design to graphics and community management. Volfyirion is our creature that we have been lovingly looking after since 2018. Our guide is Alessandro, creator and game designer (in future logs we’ll get to know him better and meet other interesting fellows as well).

Evonove is the technical soul of this project, we are a software house that loves to engage in challenging tasks and do research to continue to grow and innovate.

Sharing the same coworking space as well as the same ideas, we united by forming a task force that is made of developers, designers, artists, and social managers - here we are to share the exciting story of how Volfyirion will become an app to bring this awesome deck building card game to your devices.

Our team

How it all began

The first challenge Volfyirion faced was Kickstarter, when it was first launched in 2018 in its classic edition reaching record-breaking numbers in terms of funding and number of backers. But the real interesting story is the birth of a card game with such a unique theme.

Before we created the concept for Volfyirion, we already wanted to develop a game that was part of the Mysthea Universe, a world introduced to the public by the Mysthea board game. You could call it a hybrid of fantasy and science fiction, where we always try to maintain a balance between these two sources of inspiration. It was during the Mysthea campaign that many requests to introduce a dragon into the original setting started filling our inbox.
We said to ourselves, why not? We decided to listen to our supporters and create a game specifically about it… and that’s how Volfyirion’s egg started to hatch.

It wasn’t long ago that a second big task was set before us. Make Volfyirion a digital card game.

The Dragon evolves

In the meantime, Volfyirion Guilds was born, whose crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter is still ongoing (you can find it here). Volfyirion Guilds adds new cards, rules, and mechanics to the classic game, for a revamped gaming experience with even more exciting strategies and levels of challenge.

We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to announce to everyone what we’re up to!

Now, let’s talk about the real star of this blog. You! You supporters of Tabula Games, curious about new games that are born every day with an increasingly frantic pace, dragon lovers and fans of card games, casual players or hardcore gamers, we have dedicated this project to you and this community forum will be our nice and friendly meeting point.

You certainly have a lot of questions and we’re very interested to hear what you expect from all this, so now it could be a great opportunity to break the ice and open the discussion.

Let’s begin! :heart: :dragon:

Will there eventually be a KS for this like Hero Realms is currently running?

We are currently working on the development of the digital game with our own resources, the crowdfunding option is not in our plans for now, but we will take into consideration for further developments. It all depends on how big this project will grow :wink:

That’s great! I’ve wanted digital Volf for a looooong time <3
