[Official] Beast + Shattered Isles

Description




Welcome to the Northern Expanse, a place where nature is still unexplored, mystical and dangerous. When the humans first arrived, they thought they found an unspoiled paradise, filled with bountiful forests, lakes swimming with fish and cold freshwater flowing from the mountains. But as their settlements expanded and the surrounding forests grew thinner, nature itself pushed back. Great creatures known as Beasts emerged, and with their fangs, claws and mystical powers, they proved an incredible threat to the humans. In order to protect the settlements, humans enlisted specialized hunters, tasked with tracking and killing the Beasts before too many of their kin perish.

Beast is a one-vs-many type of game, in which one player takes the role of a Beast; a giant, godlike creature who wants to fend off the humans invading her domains. All other players take the role of hunters, who cooperate in an epic hunt to track and kill the Beast.






Hidden movement
The Beast uses a deck of direction cards to move over forests, swamps and caverns, using guile and deceit to hide its track from the hunters. However, whenever a hunter moves over a location where the Beast has previously been, a trail appears. Only when a hunter searches a location or the Beast itself attacks an unsuspecting target is the Beast's actual position revealed. More so, each hunter has but one chance of searching each round, making it a tense and difficult decision. Hunters seldom have full information whether the trail they’re pursuing contains the Beast’s actual location, or if the trail has already gone cold.

Asymmetrical Drafting
Each action you perform in this game is done by playing a card from your hand (up to a maximum of two cards per turn). This means that if a player wants to search, attack or move, they need to have a card in their hand that lets them do that. Before each round, both hunters and Beast participate in a draft for the most important cards. All action cards can be used by both Beast and hunters alike.

Teamwork above all
In order to win this game, you either need to cooperate every step of the way if you play as a hunter, or skillfully outmaneuver your opponents if you play as Beast. On their own, hunters are never stronger than the Beast. Only when hunters communicate, strategize and combine their actions can they bring down the Beast before it’s too late.

Welcome to Shattered Isles...
...a broken world plagued by a dark past. After the humans managed to kill the Beast known as the Feathered King, the world was met with disaster. A cataclysmic event known as The Great Cleansing drowned half of the world, and countless human lives were lost. To find a way to fight back against the Beasts and avoid the horrors that follow after killing a god, humans set sail towards the mysterious Shattered Isles.

The Abyssal Spire
Something happened here long ago. Remnants of a previous human civilization can be found almost everywhere: a zealous group that lived in devotion and fear of the Beasts that ruled this world. Ruins of an ancient past reveal a tragic event: in an all-encompassing ritual, humans attempted to gain control, but instead, they all vanished. Inside a massive tower known as The Abyssal Spire lie the dark secrets of the past. The arriving humans believe the tower holds the knowledge and power they need to get rid of the Beasts once and for all, but unknown to them, something far more sinister is locked inside.

Okay, i figured out the problem. Buttons weren't showing because of the resolution i had at the time (1280x1024). It's just strange why other people i hosted for also had the same issue, maybe it's because i was the host

That is strange. could you send a screenshot to assar@studiomidhall.com?

In the meanwhile I will see if i can implement an exit of the menu with a keyboard press

I'm not using mac and when i host the game the same issue bothers other players as well. Basically it looks the initial screen, but with text, where each letter is on a new line. text is not pressable and it's impossible to progress past that point. I have screenshots, but don't really know how to share them

Unfortunately this is currently not in our roadmap. It would be great to have it! But an arrangement with our partners would have to be made then and that is something we are not able to prioritise right now.

You can choose to play it as only a red card and only get the top effect of the card. Or you can "overload" and it will spend both your red and blue action to get the bottom effect of the card

Thanks for reporting! That is strange. Are you playing on a Mac perhaps? If so, start in the non-regular mode. Think it is called "metal" or something.

Sorry about the long reply!

All hunters need to click the ready button, once they have a "Start" button will appear. It could definiately be more intutive, will see if i can fix that in the future

Do you know if there will ever be translations into other languages? For example, Spanish or French, or languages where the game has already been translated?

What "Overload Flame Rapier" means? When I use both skills of my flame rapier?

Reporting an issue: with the newest update game seems to be locked in the starting screen with no buttons to continue.
