This was the perfect time for us to finally reveal the new game we have been working on: Echoes of Mystralia. We brought our latest opus, to showcase it directly to the gaming community. It was very important for us to attend these events not only to introduce Echoes of Mystralia to a global audience but to also connect with passionate gamers who are at the heart of everything we do. 

Reveal Party at Montreal

We had a reveal party in our office with pizza and drinks in order to gather as a team and watch the Future Game Show together. 

Some of our coworkers are living abroad or pretty far from the office so they shared with us at-a-distance. We had a blast watching our reveal together and we hope to share a lot of more moments like this with the community! 

We won a little acknowledgement during PAX West as the best Saturday Game played during the Event and it makes us very happy! 

Prior to the reveal, we’ve done a private playtest of the game and also wanted to create a unique opportunity for players to experience the magic of Mystralia firsthand by putting the game into their hands. Seeing their reactions, hearing their thoughts, and discussing their gameplay experiences face-to-face was both delighting and incredibly valuable.

Our team is more excited than ever about the project. We are thankful for the support and enthusiasm we’ve received. 

Your Feedback

We truly believe that players’ feedback will bring Echoes of Mystralia to new heights, and we can’t wait to implement the ideas and adjustments inspired by the community. 

Thank you to everyone who came to see or visit us at these events—your input will be key as we continue to develop our brand new roguelite action-RPG adventure! Meeting so many excited faces/players/fans was incredibly invigorating for us.

We will have more playtests in the near future and we can’t wait to share this moment with you! 

While our time at Gamescom, PAX West, and the Tokyo Game Show was a resounding success, we did encounter a small issue. Unfortunately, one of our computers experienced a technical glitch that required it to be completely wiped, and as a result, we lost some email addresses from players who signed up for our newsletter.

We highly value everyone’s support and don’t want anyone to miss out on important updates and future opportunities. If you signed up for the newsletter but haven’t received any communication from us, we kindly ask that you resubscribe right here:

Your involvement means the world to us, and we want to keep you informed about the exciting developments still to come.

In the following months, we are planning more playtests sessions for Echoes of Mystralia, and we will be relying on gamers like you to help us make the best game possible. Your feedback will continue to play a crucial role in shaping the final product, and we’re counting on the community to step up once again when the time comes.

Keep an eye out for announcements—your next chance to explore the magical world of Mystralia is just around the corner! ✨

The post Announcing Echoes of Mystralia! It’s a new gripping spellcrafting Action-RPG Roguelite and we are super pumped about it! first appeared on Webbasego Games.

In the kingdom of Mystralia, it takes more brains than brawn to succeed. You will face down giant, powerful creatures and navigate treacherous terrain. You will encounter puzzles that confound even the wisest of the old sages. And you must overcome obstacles put in place by people who do not want you to succeed.

Your path will not be easy. In Mages of Mystralia, you play as Zia, a young girl who discovers that she has been born with an innate sense of magic. Unfortunately, magic has been banned, so she strikes off to train on her own to gain some control over her powers. On her journey, she meets other exiled mages and discovers runes with magical properties and realizes that she can combine these runes in millions of different ways to come up with completely new spells.

The story was written by bestselling author Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms fantasy world for Dungeons and Dragons, which served as the basis for games like Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights, as well as about 170 fantasy books.

Key Features

• Design spells to fight enemies, solve environmental puzzles and battle epic bosses
• Powerful yet simple spell crafting system
• Classic action-adventure with over a dozen of distinct regions to explore
• Original orchestral score conducted by Shota Nakama and performed by the Video Game Orchestra at SoundtRec Boston of Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts fame

Press Coverage

The post Dive into the world of Mages of Mystralia  first appeared on Webbasego Games.

Our marketing team, had the best idea in the world, producing a comic. This is how we knew George Rohac, President and Strategy Master at Bread Pig, a company that promotes the emergence of artists by allowing them to remain independent. He allowed us to get in touch with some artists from the comics world. After some suggestions and phone calls, we chose the best possible people for our project, Brian Clevinger (writer) (Atomic Robo, 8-Bit Theater) and Carey Piestch (artist) (Lumberjanes, Adventure Times).

We were already aware of Brian’s work and we knew we would be satisfied. Then when we saw Carey’s drawings. We immediately fell in love with her style! It was a perfect fit with the artistic direction of our game. We couldn’t really find a better way to represent the universe of Mystralia, and we weren’t disappointed, working with them was just fun from start to finish! We also met Tess Stone (Not Drunk Enough) who took care of the lettering of our comic. He was referred to us by Brian since he already did lettering for Atomic Robo. We really had the best team and we would love to do another comic with them.

For the production, our calendar was pretty tight. But everything went very well without any delay. We had to have the first 8 pages ready to put online on Hiveworks‘ website for August 29, 2016, and we also wanted to print the pages in a booklet to give to the players present at our booth during PAX West.

It was precisely during this event that our adventure with Dark Horse began. Dark Horse is one of the few if not the only comic book publisher who also specializes in video games. They have franchises like Zelda, Tomb Raider and many others. It’s therefore not surprising that they have a booth at a video game event such as PAX. Cassie Nantais, our former Community Manager, brought to Dark Horse some copies of the first 8 pages.

At that moment, Cassie met Dark Horse Sales Manager and began to discuss the comic, explaining the context and mentioning the people involved. That’s how about a month later we wrote to the Sales Manager and she put us in touch with the Vice-President of Licenses. Our communications with Dark Horse were officially started! 

Subsequently, it took a lot of time since we had to finish the comic first. Our goal was to add two pages per week on Hiveworks until March 2017. What we accomplished well! We had an average of 5,000 people who followed our comic online and we were delighted about it. 

Now it’s available in a trade paperback issue through Dark Horse since January 17, 2018. We are really proud of the path we’ve traveled and our adventure in the world of comics. Hoping that this is only the beginning!
