- Article: Why is lore an important factor of every game? - 17 May 2019

If you haven’t played it yet – you’ve been warned! Back in 2003, when the book Masters of Doom was released, an American programmer – John D. Carmack – used an extremely risky statement, saying that the storyline in video games is just like the one in porno movies: “it’s expected to be there, but it’s not that important”. This declaration is even more shocking, considering how many wonderful and innovative lore-based titles had been released by that time (e.g. TES III: Morrowind, Baldur’s Gate or Fallout). https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31511259%2F7af1e8adbac6ece5446622e1e349835dbbc19e44.jpg How does it look in practice, though? Most of the multiplayer titles are focused m…
- Article: The uniqueness in games - how to find it? - 5 April 2019

The variety of these titles took an important part in increasing their own fanbases, which appreciate what is unique in the game of their choosing. Those games usually differ by their in-game worlds, their characters with individual sets of skills and the goals that players need to achieve. Control systems are what makes them alike. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31511259%2F7541ae0d448a8608b70576942f13b6df9dd33437.jpg MOBA games are fast-paced, so they require a great deal of concentration and commitment. The player must be entirely focused on what is happening on the screen. That’s why the controls should be as simple a…
- Article: Is it possible to introduce innovation to MOBA games? - 19 March 2019
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31511259%2F0764a92a47d1c2ea37332f05363cd062f37117a0.png Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) scene is currently dominated by several titles. Since the early 2010s, the three giants – Defense of the Ancients, League of Legends and Smite has been ruling over this part of the gaming entertainment. No other game seems to cause a threat to them, so there is scarcely any chance to create something innovative within the genre. When speaking about MOBA games we mostly picture two opposing teams consisting of different player roles, fighting on a limited map with three different routes divided by a jungle. And this concept hasn’t really changed throughout the years. So, how do they manage not to bore their players and still keep them craving for more? https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31511259%2F99c%25E2%2580%25A6

- I used to be a wizard like you... then I took a magical arrow to the knee - 23 February 2018
Welcome back to the discussion on the epic 1v1 battle arena tournament where witches, mages and wizards beat the crap out of each other with spectacular spells, devastating sorcery and eye-candy fireworks. Last time we introduced you to the wonders of four different, but equally deadly, types of magic and the basics of spellcasting. Well, let's go one step back and look a bit closer at a basic offensive trick called The Ancient Projectile. Think of it as a magical Beretta. Every mage knows how to use it – it's fast, handy and universally effective. If you don't need anything fancy, if you just want to burn your opponents face, it gets the job done. Everyone knows a good warrior needs to constantly polish his skills. That rule applies to magical warriors as well. Even the art of The Ancient Projectile can be refined as you gain more experience battling in the arena. A little tip: if your…

- Spell me the details - 7 February 2018
Have you ever played a fighting game like Street Fighter or Tekken? Ignis is totally unlike either of them but still offers loads of competitive fun! Choose one of many powerful wizards and take part in a competition of spells! Make no mistake, this is no spelling competition. Ignis is epic, spectacular and - above all – magical! Let's get into the details, shall we? Every character has one unique passive ability, a few spells and one ultimate incantation available to use. Wizards can launch projectiles, which serves as a basic means of damaging your opponent, or his pride at least. In case of a magical barrage, you can always hide behind a magical barrier or use a summoned familiar as cannon fodder. There are four types of spells in Ignis: The Magic of Destruction, which is pretty self explainatory. The Magic of Life restores health, creates barriers and buffs characters, The Magic of…

- Party of one - 23 January 2018
We adore League of Legends! One guy from our team was so into it, he even managed to advance to the diamond division. Competition is his middle name. He has spent whole nights battling other players. There's only one thing that didn't quite click with him, and we as a team don't appreciate it either. One tiny mistake during a 50 minute match can completely ruin your chances for victory in League of Legends. Just like one small misstep shatters your chances with the prettiest girl at the party. Um... yeah, that’s some food for thought. Anyway, we wanted to create a competitive game which could retain the pure fun of rivalry that we love in League of Legends, while making the outcome of the battles less dependent on those small slip ups. It’ll feel less stressful that way and kind of more fun, we'd say. In addition, we’ve chosen a 1v1 style of gameplay, so the players can’t blame their lo…

- 3... 2... 1... Ignite! - 20 December 2017
Hi people! When two wizards battle, magical projectiles, curses and summoning spells fly everywhere like deadly fireworks. This is the reality of Ignis, a battle arena game where you choose your spells and control the trajectories of your projectiles.
