When designing this game, we were faced with this challenge: “How to turn a board game into a video game while keeping its essence.”
The first part of the process was to play with the board game until we got to know it by heart. We needed to establish the core mechanics and features of the game, what makes the board game unique and what it is renowned for. Based on this analysis, we established that the game needed to include procedural dungeon system, phase changes, encounters, traps, and all of that good stuff.
We invite you to read the full Unity Connect article below to learn more on how we adapted a Board Game to the Digital Medium using Unity.
We are excited to reveal Tales from Candlekeep's upcoming Hero: Qawasha the Druid!
Qawasha is a member of the Emerald Enclave base in Fort Beluarian. The druid travels with a vegepymgy companion named Kupalué. Qawasha hopes to rid the jungle of the undead menace that haunts the area...
Here's a concept art of Qawasha for today. There's more details to come. Stay tuned!
