A year ago I publicly announced Archmage Rises as a new kind of RPG.\u00a0 I\u2019m happy to report Archmage Rises is now playable.<\/p>\n

Sort of.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I was invited to be in demo showcase in Portland, OR last week.\u00a0 In the two and a half weeks leading up to the conference I scrambled\/crunched to take all the disparate systems and jam it into something playable.\u00a0 In the wee hours the night before I flew out, I got it working!<\/p>\n

The 50ish people watching the demo were spellbound.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

(The power went out in the middle of the demo, but they didn\u2019t leave, so that is a good sign, right?!?)<\/p>\n

This experience convinced me I have enough of the game working to show a demo to all of you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On Mon Aug 3 at 6pm EST (23:00 GMT, 3pm PST) I\u2019ll be giving a live* demo on Twitch:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/archmagerises<\/a><\/p>\n

Demo includes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gameplay with explanation on the three pillars of the game:\n
      \n
    1. Economy<\/li>\n
    2. Combat<\/li>\n
    3. Influence\/Relationships<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    4. Reveal of what is coming next<\/li>\n
    5. Ask me Anything.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be answering live questions from the community as part of the demo.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      As an indie game developer, I don\u2019t have a \u201cboss\u201d per se.\u00a0 That\u2019s because I\u2019m working for fans like you!\u00a0 I see this demo like giving an annual report to \u201cthe board\u201d.\u00a0 It is a detailed update on what I\u2019ve done over the last year and where I plan to go next.<\/p>\n

      Can\u2019t Attend?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

      That\u2019s ok, I understand my game demo isn\u2019t as important as finishing your taxes, rearranging living room furniture, or going to the dentist.\u00a0 The entire demo will be edited then posted to youtube<\/a> for later enjoyment.\u00a0 You can subscribe to the channel now to receive a notification when the demo is posted:<\/p>\n

      https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCFtbqFi1YOlrDp4QjPQLfrw<\/a><\/p>\n

      Thank you for your continued interest in Archmage Rises.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t easy making an RPG unlike anything else.\u00a0 Your interest is a real encouragement!<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      *Given this is a live demo, I reserve the right to have technical difficulties and\/or embarrass myself.<\/pre>\n
