I think that Arcane Wonders owe it to the Mage Wars community to inform them about future strategy and plans quite urgently. Real "Mage" expansions (not side projects like academy and battlegrounds) take quite a long time to get to the players, and even now we are waiting for ages for paladin versus siren...All the time Mage Wars could have grown and gained revenue on the sale of new expansions, gamers had to turn to other games to spend their money on...I myself started playing Android Netrunner and started to enjoy it quite a lot...
I get so excited for the next datapack to come out and to buy every other month..and i think is a missed opportunity for Mage Wars products...
But be certain...my heart will stay with Mage Wars , no matter what happens !
I know that we have mentioned our plans for the future in general a few times in the last year. However, I know that often this information ends up scattered to the four winds. So, I totally understand if most people haven't seen it.
So, I'll outline the base of the current plan right now. Paladin vs. Siren is the paramount priority right now. For me personally this set consumes my focus. This is easily the most important thing I'm working on. It's particularly exciting to me, and I'm hoping that when we're able to show off this set, you'll all be excited with it. That said, there is still a pretty healthy amount of work left on this set and so I'm sure cards and mechanics could change.
After PVS, we had planned to do another spell tome, like Forged in Fire. This one would cover the male Forcemaster and the female Wizard. Now, I haven't been shy about what I'd love to do with the Forcemaster in that set, but obviously none of that is set in stone. Right now we've been talking about switching this set with the next item on the list here.
Then, we have the next Mage vs. Mage set. We have several possible Mages for this set. Personally I'm hoping for the "Barbarian". Now for his opponent they're all good options and it just depends on if we move this set forward or not. Now I'm not going to spoil these Mages quite yet, but I'm excited about them as well. Right now, whenever I come up with an idea for one of them I tend to build the card and then file it away, and get back to work on PVS.
Those are the most important projects coming up for Mage Wars, because we want to get on a solid release schedule and frankly all of you deserve solid content. You've been very patient with us and so you should be rewarded with excellent content.
So outside of these projects, we still have the Archmage in the pipeline. Also, Bryan has plans for future Battlegrounds sets as well as an RPG eventually. Bryan poured 5 years of development into Mage Wars before its release and so He's devoted to making sure the game gets plenty of support and continues on for many many years to come.
For me, the core Mage Wars product is my focus. As I've said I feel you all deserve some pretty awesome expansions and I'm hoping I can provide them to you.
Hopefully this helps you see where we're going in the next year. If you have any other questions for me, I'll answer anything I can. Hope you're all having a good day.
