Best Of

a recent post on the Aoc Instagram inspired me to draw some things I think would be awesome for character customization options. Here they are. Also, I'm not sure if this is the place for this. but I would love to be a part of the team at Intrepid!

So I think I know what race I’m going to pick . I love the unnatural skin and eye colours and all the tattoos and accessories. I would also like to add my 2 cents and share how I see Vek beyond just the face features. I like the more unique and unnatural look but I don’t really want them to be completely troll-like. Sure they can have more lanky bodies and longer neck/arms but I don’t want them to have hunched postures. I see them as a more regal and graceful counterpart to a Ren’kai. Like you would look at them and think yeah thats no tank, more like a cleric or a mage.

But of course once in a while there will be a young Vek who will go travel the world and live her Zootopia dreams and become a warrior instead of a cleric like her elders always wanted . And with that I finally present to you my scribbles .

Had a chance to interview Steven Sharif, CEO of Intrepid Studios and Creative Director on Ashes of Creation. I didn’t press him too much for new stuff, but instead took the opportunity to clear the air on some of the business side of things and to talk the details on a lot of the stuff we had previously seen.

The video is long, and I do apologize about the audio, there were technical difficulties at the start so we didn't have time to run a sound check.

There is a time index in the description so if you want to search for a topic you can.

My take on the older AoC logo. My interpretation of the phoenix in a humanoid goddess form. I don't usually finish my personal projects, but I am happy to have completed this one. Hope y'all like it and I hope to share more in the future.

I made a Quarrior, using a toy pangolin, epoxy putty, sculpey clay, glue, leather, and paint. I think it came out pretty neat.

Happy to hear your thoughts/feedback. Can post progress steps if anyone interested in seeing how it came together.

Welcome. This is the post for my fan made Ashes of Creation themed Card Game. This card game is fully playable on Table Top Simulator. This is a non-profit fan made project and all the art was drawn (badly) by me or is owned by Intrepid. The objecting in making this game was to cram in as many Ashes of Creation references as possible and as a result is probably not very good. I hope you enjoy. If you like reading patch nodes there is a lot of them in my posts in this thread.





The features of this game include:
-4 Node Cards, one for each of the node types. Each node Type represents 2 Archetypes.
-At least 1 card for each of the 64 classes.
-Caravans that are used to attain victory by leveling your Node.
-Front Line and Back Line based combat with unit movement and positioning.
-Management of Materials and Essence.
-Positional based buffs
-Way to many card effects
-Equipment cards
-Augment cards
-Many skill cards or 1 time effect cards
-Freeholds
-Basic and Special Resources
-Unit cards that are focused on gaining more resources (Gatherers and processors)
-Many themes and synergies including cards that represent the seedy underbelly of the Economic node or the equipment based Military node.
-Deck building variety

The game does not include:
-Card picture art (Will work on this when it is more finalized0
-Balance
-A professional level of polish
-My sanity

Game Concept and overview:

The objective of the game is to Level your Node up to stage 6 (Metro). The first person to reach stage 6 is the winner. As you obtain stages you gain bonuses listed on the Node Card you selected when making a deck.

You gain levels by using loading your Caravan with resources and sending it to your node. While the Caravan is traveling it is vulnerable to attack. The choice between attacking, bolstering defense, and loading your caravan is the core gameplay loop of this game.

There is a secondary objective to destroy the opposing node defense to loot their node and gain a boost to your own node levels.

Here is a google Sheet of all the cards. Just hover over the box to see the card's stats and effects

The easiest way to look at all the cards is probably this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bIRcCKZQAcEfSf0uUPhI0JuS_GENDOMZR88JuFKTNvA/edit?usp=sharing

If intrepid is unhappy with anything I have done using their IP now or in the Future I would be happy to take everything down immediately no questions asked.

Let me know if any of the links are not working.

This project has taken way to long for something only I care about and that is ok. I had fun making it and even if I have to delete it I have no regrets. I have learned a lot about game design while working on this on and off for over a year now.


Currently working on update 1.6. It is almost done and it by far the largest amount of changes I have done thus far. Should fix some of the issues I had with combat and resources (again)
