Sword & Scroll is a grand strategy game originally inspired by fantasy book series such as A song of ice and fire with warfare and political schemes constituting the core mechanics. The game has also been heavily influenced by other grand strategy games in particular by paradox and also from 4X games like the civilization franchise. The game is set in a medieval fantasy world where splintered factions, noble houses, fight for power. You take on the role of one of these houses.

Post news Report RSS Alpha 1.0.3 Release

I can finally announce a first public demo in form of the release of the alpha version 1.0.3 of Sword & Scroll!

Posted by on

After a month of silence due to personal stress, the project Sword & Scroll is right back on its tracks! I originally intended to release this build about a month ago but better now than never.

Now, lets directly get to the most important part of this news post. Here you can grab the Alpha Release v1.0.3 for the PC:

Alpha 1.0.3

The mobile version can be obtained from here or following the QRcode


What does this release cover?

This release basically covers the features presented in the previous news posts with a lot of bugfixing (but still a further LOT of bugfixing to be done). Multiplayer is supported, you can connect via IP or just join a public game hosted by the server. The core mechanics of the game are implemented but balance is missing and so on.

I have a cool idea, found a bug or would like to see a specific feature

If you want to influence the development process, the best thing is to fill out a ticket at my bugtracker. Any help and feedback is welcome!

Roadmap

So what's the future plan with Sword & Scroll? For now my key goals are twofold

  1. Stability. The game should no longer crash, multiplayer should be stable, all mechanics should work as intended and so on.
  2. Balance. Currently the balance is just made up by assigning arbirtrary values to everything, this is of course not the goal state and leads to unfun gameplay. Fixing this is also a main goal.

There are of course other important goals such as fixing the art (I am currently uncertain regarding my plans here as I am considering to search for an artist due to my own artistic limitations), and so on.
