Hey All, I've just started (this last week) trying to re-do a game I did a long time ago called Wizards of Yore. It's a battle between wizards on a chess board heavily inspired by the classic Chaos. So far casting units, movement and combat are working. Next up is AI.    Cheers, Kev |

Hello Kevin,
What are you going to make this for. Is it just for the Android, or will there be a playable version online somewhere? I'll be keeping an eye on it, I've always enjoyed your games and I'm sure this one will be no different.

Thanks a lot  The plan is for it to be on Android, iOS and Desktop right now. I'm just learning about libgdx and all it's wonders! Cheers, Kev |

It needed lots of time and I didn't have it. Someone will write it eventually I'm sure.
Cheers,

I'm just learning about libgdx and all it's wonders! I'm just learning too, but so far iibgdx seems to be the best thing that happened to java game development since lwjgl and slick2d. Anyway, I'll keep my eye on this one. It seems quite interesting! As an aside, the other day I was actively searching for a game I would like to play on my tablet, and "Legends of Yore" popped up quite early. What happened to that one? |

Believe it or not, it's finished and sells pretty well on Android.

Is it just me, or does the map appear slightly warped around the warrior? |

I think its the little lines in the corner, they make it seem warped. Also, sweet game! I expect it to be in the google play store in a few months  |

Quick update, I've just released a very early alpha and any feedback would appreciated. You can find it over at the site I knocked together with my terrible web design skills: http://www.wizardsofyore.comAlong with that there's a video of the game playing and the rules document that I've done as game design exercise. <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/HTVZPGlI8XA?version=3&hl=en_US&start=" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/HTVZPGlI8XA?version=3&hl=en_US&start=</a>]]>I'm considering doing a physical board game edition at this point too. Comments appreciated as always, Cheers, Kev |

This is awesome kev, i loved how you managed to modify your art style while keeping your own signature on it, and how the game is slow enough to realize what's going on and fast enough to not be bored with tedious animations and text.
Best of luck!
@ra4king: IIRC, all the games done by Mojang for Mojam 2013 used Java+Slick, so i guess it has reached a legacy status by now.

Thanks Rorkian, it's been a real challenge learning to sprite at an average level but I think I'm starting to get somewhere. For everyone else, the game is available to download and play now - feedback would be much appreciated! http://www.wizardsofyore.comCheers, Kev |

Just downloaded and played a few games, Very Fun!
Will be glad to put it on my android devices when finished...
Was a little confusing figuring out the range of attacking units, found myself falling back with an archer only to figure out I had fallen out of attacking range as well..
Also, is there no winning condition currently? I defeated all my enemy's and it just looped on my turn....

Will this be available to multiplayer, both on the same screen and through different devices, like classic chess?

Intended it to be online multiplayer - hadn't though about hot seat but I don't see why not.

Just done an update for all versions: - Sounds
- Win Conditions
- Rules for 6 sided dice only
- AI updates
- Visual Queues
Still nothing balanced - so hits are annoying at times. The game is now playable as: - Desktop (download at http://www.wizardsofyore.com) - Web Javascript ( http://www.wizardsofyore.com/js/war) - Android (download at http://www.wizardsofyore.com - google play eventually) At some point I'm going to have to work out how to charge for it Cheers, Kev |

Thanks for letting me know! If you can remember, was sauren alone at the time (did he have any units?) Had he walked already?

Beside the 4 starters, I remember there's one flying purple thing (iphone SS 7,4). I don't remember if he had walked but I just had my end turn twice (so I guess he had).

Spent a few hours porting Legends of Yore over to LibGDX to resolve the iPhone issues. Will check out this issue now.
Cheers,
