Book of Beasts

👀🔥🃏 Novel CCG rules explained - interactive workshop with gamedevs
Don't forget to get the game on Steam for free to play alongside this live workshop.

With Book of Beasts we have created an indie collectible card game CCG that reimagines the rules a strategic card game can work with. We have added a shared game board with spatial features where both players place their cards drawn from their decks.

However, this is pretty hard to understand for new players. We have received the feedback that we should redesign the onboarding sequence of the game with a more accessible, interactive tutorial.

In this 1-hour workshop, we want to introduce the game, its rules and then show an interactive game tutorial that we have prototyped in Figma. We hope we can collaboratively create a better onboarding to give more players a chance to enjoy Book of Beasts.

Book of Beasts starts 2021: leaderboards, avatars, world map
Greetings summoners! We are excited to share what we are working on for our next releases of Book of Beasts. During the last weeks we have carefully collected your valuable feedback and have worked on concepts for the next features in Book of Beasts, which we will release over the course of the upcoming months of 2021.



Avatars



As a first step in customising your player experience you will be able to choose from a first set of summoner portraits that will become your avatar in battle. Of course this is just the beginning and we will add more summoners along our journey together. Introducing more characters will allow us to tell more about the world of Book of Beasts and its stories.



World Map



Talking about the world of Book of Beasts: we’re especially excited to start uncovering the land in which Book of Beasts takes place. In the game, it will be possible to battle new AI summoners and unlock them so you can choose their portrait as your own avatar.



Leaderboards



A leaderboard to compare your experience with other summoners has been an early request. While we are collecting all wins in the background already, we have been working on a concept to show how you are doing in the game.



And of course we are working on many more improvements to make Book of Beasts a delight! Let us know on our Discord channel if you want to share your experience and discuss these and other features with us!

See you in the arena, summoners!

… and before we forget: here is a code to get a Spell Card: deepdive

Season's greetings, we have a gift (code) for you, summoners!
Thank you for being a part of the Book of Beasts game! We hope you’re also ready to give this year a proper send-off. As a small gift for the holiday season celebration, we have updated the game Book of Beasts for all platforms and have scattered around the Internet some codes that you can find and exchange in the game for great Spell Cards. One code is right here: mirrormirror. You might find other codes on our website, our social media outlets, the Discord community and elsewhere. Maybe some other games mention it on their social media channels with hashtag #BookOfBeastsGame. Further features in this update include:


  • A season’s Book of Beasts awaits you in the main menu screen.
  • Added the ability to enter codes to redeem free items (go check the lovely new treasure chest in the shop view).
  • Added German as language.
  • You get notified about lobby activity in AI matches.
  • We have laid the groundwork for a next update for the beginning of next year.
  • Bug fixes and stability improvements.


Thank you for playing Book of Beasts and see you in the arena!
