    Greetings Skylords!

    It's been two weeks already since our last community update so it's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!
    State of the Project
    It has been a while since we have released an update to the live server. We'd like to take this opportunity to mention a lot of work is going on behind the scenes to bring you some cool stuff in the future. New card development is going well, although it will still take quite a while for them to be ready. We are also making great progress on our balancing patch on the test-server and hope to bring this to live servers soon, resulting in a ton of changes for both PvP and PvE. Our new game modes are also steadily progressing; we are currently working on bosses for our new Defence rPvE mode, and are still working on adding the mono-factions to rPvE. The BattleArena fun PvP mode is currently being fine-tuned and will probably be the first of those to be complete. We are not able to give you release dates on any of these features yet, but we do want you to know we are still working on them for many hours each week and Skylords Reborn is still going strong.

    Here are some other things we are working on:
     
    Map Editor: clean-up
    We are doing a big clean-up in the Map Editor that will make it easier to work with.
    All the units have been organized in a way that if you use these squads or buildings for making your own maps, you can be sure that your map won't be broken by future balance changes. All the upgrade levels are now also available in the map editor.
    We will give a more detailed explanation of all the changes when they go live. We expect to release this in August.
    Interested in making maps yourself? Please check out these tutorials! 

     
    Map Editor: new extended map settings
    In our next test server patch, we will add more options which map makers can use for their custom PvP maps.
    This can affect the predefined goals for PvP maps. So far this feature is only useful if you want to define non-standard win conditions for your fun PvP maps. However, we do plan to expand this configuration with more options in the future!
    Please note that this new feature is only on the test server so far, and will hit the live servers within the next months! This is an experimental feature, and might break the game in some rare cases.
    So far it seems to work, however, please inform us if you encounter any issues after playing a map which uses these new options. Please also let us know if there any other variables we should add to this new configuration!
     
    Community Maps User Interface
    A common complaint for the community maps is the map section UI. Currently, it's hard to find a specific map and it does not really invite you to look for cool maps. We are interested in working on this, but are currently a bit understaffed for the job. If you are interested in helping out with this and similar tasks (progression on worldmap, marketplace rework, etc.), please apply as a client developer and help out the project!
     

    PvP QoL feature: view lobbies while in a ranked queue
    PvP players will know this scenario all too well: you see players in the PvP lobby and queue up for ranked. After a while of searching you start to wonder if there are perhaps unranked games being hosted instead. You cancel the queue to look. At that very moment, the host probably had the same idea and cancelled their game to start the ranked queue.
    No more we say! We have developed the option to allow a queuing player to browse the lobbies while waiting for an opponent. Change your mind and want to join that Bad Harvest game that just got hosted instead? Well soon you can!
    The feature seems to work, but we want to do some final testing to prevent it from breaking games if you cancel and find an opponent at the very same moment. You can expect this feature to hit the live server soon though! 
     
    Upcoming Tournaments
    Last week we announced the winners of our official PvE contest on Twitch. If you missed the fun, you can still rewatch the stream there. 
    We definitely plan to do more events like this, and will take your feedback into account for the next one. Please look forward to announcements on a later date. 
    • NEW: Skylords Open #9
    Next week (11th of July) marks the return of the Skylords Open! Battle it out in the Skylords Open #9, a 1vs1 community tournament hosted by Toggy, open for everyone, and with prizes! If you want to participate, it helps a lot if you sign-up in advance!
     
    New Team Members / Team Changes
    We are happy to announce Carofex has joined the team as a Balance Developer. He will be helping out the project by implementing balance changes, new cards, new enemies in PvE maps, bug fixes for cards, etc. 
    We are currently in need of a Russian translator. If you can help, please reach out to us!
    And as always; if you want to see Skylords Reborn succeed, please take a look at how you can help. There are still some open positions in our team.
     

    In conclusion
    Thanks for reading! 
    Is there anything you wish us to cover in upcoming community updates? As always, we are open to feedback so please let us know!

    I'm glad you agree! It seems like a minor thing, but it truly is a great QoL feature for PvP players. It was actually quite tricky to implement, because it was created as a safety measure to prevent people from getting disconnected from the match, but we think we figured it out. We hope to add it to the live server soon.
     Another QoL thing on the backlog would be to swap the friend filter to automatically see your online friends, instead of all (offline) friends.

    Greetings Skylords, Skyladies, and Skyfolks!

    In our next test server patch, we will add more options which map makers can use for their custom PvP maps. From now on, you can add a map_settings.json to your map, which can affect the predefined goals for PvP maps. So far this feature is only useful, if you want to define non-standard win conditions for your fun PvP maps. However, we do plan to expand this config with more options in the future! The recommended location to place this file is in a new config folder (next to e.g. ui or terrain) in your map folder. Please note that this new feature is only on the test server so far, and will hit the live servers within the next months!
    This is an experimental feature, and might break the game in some rare cases. So far it seems to work, however, please inform us if you encounter any issues after playing a map which uses these new options. Please also let us know if there any other variables we should add to this new config!

    Here is an example of the currently supported options in the file.


    In this example the PvP map will end after 18000 ticks (= 1800 seconds = 30 minutes), it will not hide the timer, it will not hide the scores. These are the default values for 1v1 and 2v2. However, 3v3 maps have a default time of 45 minutes, so this will allow you to make 3v3 maps which only last 30 minutes.

    All these fields are optional and can be omitted. The fields do the following:
    map_end_tick defines when to end the game. This is specified in ticks. So 1 tick is equal to 0.1 seconds, and 10 ticks are equal to 1 second. hide_pvp_map_end_timer removes the timer which shows the remaining time from the goals. Please note that this is only visual, and changing map_end_tick is required in order to allow longer games. hide_pvp_map_score removes the scores for each team from the goals, They will still be computed and shown after the match in the post-game statistics.
    Best regards, Skylords Reborn Team.

    Hello fellow Skyladies and Skylords!
     
    Another 1on1 tournament, who will take the title this time?
     
    Format?
    The tournament will be played as a 1on1 best of 3 double elimination tournament, grand finals will be best of 5, no reset. The grand finalist coming from the winnerbracket will start with  a win (1-0) already.
     
    Prize Pool! (subject to change)
    1st place  - 4 Booster packs
    2nd place - 3 Booster packs
    3rd place - 2 Booster pack
    4th - 8th place  - 1 Booster pack
    +200 BFP for every participant
    + a Juggernaut for ranks 1-8
    Big thanks to the devs who sponsor the booster packs!
     
     
    When?
    On 11.07.21  starting on 3pm CET (Berlin time), the stream will start about 30 minutes in advance.
     
    Organisation?
    The tournament brackets will be on Challonge, so register and join the tournament there. Please use your in game account name to make communication and finding your enemy easier.
    The streaming channel that will be covering the tournament is DasToggy on twitch.tv.
    In case of problems contact me or one of my mods via Discord, Battleforge or on twitch.
     
    Twitch mods: LynnTaki
     
     
    Rules! (read this)
    -Disconnection during a game results in a default loss. If both sides agree it is possible to have a remake.
    -Not showing up to your match after 15 minutes results in a default loss. The plan is to play a round of matches every ~30 mins.
    -After your match, go to Challonge and insert the result. That is done by clicking on your match and selecting the winner/stats . The brackets will be updated automatically.
    -The Map Pool is: 1st round: Haladur, 2nd round: Simai, 3rd: Elyon, 4th: Lajesh, 5th: Uro and 6th: Yrmia (same pool as in ranked duel). The first match of the round will be played on the fixed map, then it is losers choice.  The winning player (who won the previous match in this bo3) also has to lock in his deck first.
    -The brackets for the tournament will be shuffled before the tournament starts.
    -Use your Battleforge name for the tournament. If your Challonge account differs from your Battleforge account name use the "Sign up with an alternate name" feature or change your name for the tournament in the settings. Finding your opponent will be a LOT easier this way.
     
     
    Reply in this thread if you have questions, I will check it out later.
     
     
    Best regards,
    Toggy

    Glad to hear, that community maps are getting some more love!
    But I think the biggest feature mentioned hear is the "view lobbies while in a ranked queue" feature. Finally you no longer have to commit to only waiting when in a queue, but can still do other stuff meanwhile. This is such a great feature imo! I think this can help PvP playercount a lot!

    Please note that this new feature is only on the test server so far, and will hit the live servers within the next months! This is an experimental feature, and might break the game in some rare cases.
    So far it seems to work, however, please inform us if you encounter any issues after playing a map which uses these new options. Please also let us know if there any other variables we should add to this new configuration!
     
    Community Maps User Interface
    A common complaint for the community maps is the map section UI. Currently, it's hard to find a specific map and it does not really invite you to look for cool maps. We are interested in working on this, but are currently a bit understaffed for the job. If you are interested in helping out with this and similar tasks (progression on worldmap, marketplace rework, etc.), please apply as a client developer and help out the project!
     

    PvP QoL feature: view lobbies while in a ranked queue
    PvP players will know this scenario all too well: you see players in the PvP lobby and queue up for ranked. After a while of searching you start to wonder if there are perhaps unranked games being hosted instead. You cancel the queue to look. At that very moment, the host probably had the same idea and cancelled their game to start the ranked queue.
    No more we say! We have developed the option to allow a queuing player to browse the lobbies while waiting for an opponent. Change your mind and want to join that Bad Harvest game that just got hosted instead? Well soon you can!
    The feature seems to work, but we want to do some final testing to prevent it from breaking games if you cancel and find an opponent at the very same moment. You can expect this feature to hit the live server soon though! 
     
    Upcoming Tournaments
    Last week we announced the winners of our official PvE contest on Twitch. If you missed the fun, you can still rewatch the stream there. 
    We definitely plan to do more events like this, and will take your feedback into account for the next one. Please look forward to announcements on a later date. 
    • NEW: Skylords Open #9
    Next week (11th of July) marks the return of the Skylords Open! Battle it out in the Skylords Open #9, a 1vs1 community tournament hosted by Toggy, open for everyone, and with prizes! If you want to participate, it helps a lot if you sign-up in advance!

    Greetings Skylords!

    It's been two weeks already since our last community update so it's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!
    State of the Project
    It has been a while since we have released an update to the live server. We'd like to take this opportunity to mention a lot of work is going on behind the scenes to bring you some cool stuff in the future. New card development is going well, although it will still take quite a while for them to be ready. We are also making great progress on our balancing patch on the test-server and hope to bring this to live servers soon, resulting in a ton of changes for both PvP and PvE. Our new game modes are also steadily progressing; we are currently working on bosses for our new Defence rPvE mode, and are still working on adding the mono-factions to rPvE. The BattleArena fun PvP mode is currently being fine-tuned and will probably be the first of those to be complete. We are not able to give you release dates on any of these features yet, but we do want you to know we are still working on them for many hours each week and Skylords Reborn is still going strong.

    Here are some other things we are working on:
     
    Map Editor: clean-up
    We are doing a big clean-up in the Map Editor that will make it easier to work with.
    All the units have been organized in a way that if you use these squads or buildings for making your own maps, you can be sure that your map won't be broken by future balance changes. All the upgrade levels are now also available in the map editor.
    We will give a more detailed explanation of all the changes when they go live. We expect to release this in August.
    Interested in making maps yourself? Please check out these tutorials! 

     
    Map Editor: new extended map settings
    In our next test server patch, we will add more options which map makers can use for their custom PvP maps.
    This can affect the predefined goals for PvP maps. So far this feature is only useful if you want to define non-standard win conditions for your fun PvP maps. However, we do plan to expand this configuration with more options in the future!

  14. Majora liked a post in a topic by undead4ever in Bandit Lancer Ability does not work with certain range attack type.   
    DESCRIPTION: 
    use Bandit Lancer ability or a target out side of ally ranged unit's attack radius
    fire dragon : will attack further than it intended range but does not do damage
    magma fiend : freeze  at 1 place and does not attack. right click to force attack> it stare at the target.
    REPRODUCIBILITY:  Always, in the forge.
     
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  
    not sure if it should work on area type attack such as Magma Fiend . In case it does not -> Magma fiend should move closer to attack instead of staring
    Fire Dragon, definitely bugged, target was standing still so there is no miss.I 've never seen the dragon miss on moving target either
    I believe other unit with similar attack type also bugged.

    Greetings Skylords!

    It's been two weeks already since our last community update so it's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!

    New Logo
    Already teased in the updated Discord icons and Facebook profile, we also have a new logo! We are very happy with our fresh new look, which inspired us to also take another look at our landing page. Nothing to share yet there, but we are currently in the first stages of a redesign, and hope to share more with you in the future.
    We'd also like to take this time to let you know we are going to post these Community Updates on our Reddit as well. Please make sure to follow us there if that is your preferred platform to stay up to date on Skylords Reborn. 

    New cards are now in development
    As mentioned in the last Community Update, the exciting moment has come to design brand new cards for the game. We will release these new cards in batches, instead of a full expansion. Our plan for the first batch is to create new cards for 3 different factions, with up to 9 cards added in total. We are also planning to add affinities to some, if not all, of these cards.
    The past week, patrons with the Moon tier or higher were able to vote for their favorite factions. We are excited to announce the 3 factions that will receive new cards:
    - Frost
    - Amii (Shadow / Nature)
    - Bandits (Shadow / Fire)

    Don't worry, we plan to add new cards for each faction over time, the voting only impacted the order of our release. Since this is new territory for us, we are currently not able to say when new cards will be ready, and when the vote for the next batch will be. We will be actively working on this, but we don't want to rush out new cards.
     

    Expansion Icon

    New cards need a new expansion icon! The community was able to vote for their favorite icon on our social media (Twitter, Discord, Facebook and Reddit). All icons (from left to right: Phoenix, Ouroboros, Triskelion and Lotus) were symbols of Rebirth, which we found fitting for the current stage of the project. The votes were extremely close, with our Discord community heavily leaning towards Ouroboros, while the other media were rallying behind the Phoenix icon. Here is the icon you can expect on our upcoming cards (not just the factions mentioned above):


    Until further notice, all upcoming Skylords Reborn cards will have this icon. We are also looking into creating multiple versions of this expansion symbol, depending on the rarity. And of course not all cards will be ultra rare. Please note again: new cards have now started development, but we have no specific cards to share at this moment. 
    Thank you all for your votes and comments, and thank you Tweeto for your awesome work!

    New Patch on the test server

    A lot is happening on the test server as well. A large patch has hit the test server on the 9th of June. 
    The patch contains many balancing changes and experimental changes. Please take a look at the patch notes, test them out on the test server and take place in the discussion.
    Speaking of discussions, we would like your help in making a decision regarding the card Unity and if it should only effect own units or also allies.
    Please check out our Unity poll here.

    Upcoming Tournaments
    • FINISHED Official PvE Contest#1 Siege of Hope 
    The first official PvE contest on Siege of Hope is now finished! We will announce the winners in a stream on the 26th of June at 19:00 CEST.
    We will also do some giveaways, so even if you did not participate; we invite you all to join us! 
     
    • NEW: Host your own event / tournament
    Want to host a tournament or event? Please reach out to our Event Organiser Hiko to have your events prizes sponsored by the Skylords Reborn team. If you got a cool idea for a PvE event, or want to host a PvP tournament, please don't hesitate to reach out to us, we will gladly assist you. 
     
    New Art for Firesworn
    Besides a new Logo and Icon, our artist Tweeto has been working on adjusting the art of Firesworn. As most would agree, Firesworn always felt a bit off compared to the other fire cards. Tweeto made a few changes to make it feel more in line with the rest of your deck. We hope you like it! 
     
    Current Artwork
     
    Adjusted Artwork

    The artwork has not yet been adjusted in-game yet. We expect to add it in an upcoming content update to the live server. 
    There are still some cards we would like to give a slight upgrade, but we will only do so if there are no other tasks with more priority to work on. With new cards in development, new artworks for those cards currently have more priority. 

    New Team Members / Team Changes
    Our moderation team welcomes a new (old) member! Bradley will be helping us out with moderation again.
    We are also happy to announce our first official Map Designer: Hodron! 
    Right now he is spending a lot of time on designing the new rPvE presets mentioned in the last community update; specifically what units and or bosses you will encounter. 
    Our developer _empty_ stepped down from his position. He worked on creating the installer used by new players to more easily be able to install and play the game. We would to again thank him for his contributions!
    Additionally, we will soon be adding at least one new server developer. 
    We have also added a new role into our open positions; Marketeer/Outreach Coordinator. As an Outreach Coordinator you are responsible to spread the word and create awareness about Skylords Reborn and to attract veteran and new players alike. This includes actively researching and reaching out to potentially interested influencers, streamers, youtubers, Discord channels, game magazines, among others. 

    As always; if you want to see Skylords Reborn succeed, please take a look at how you can help. There are still some open positions in our team.

    The first official PvE contest on Siege of Hope is now finished! We will announce the winners in a stream on the 26th of June at 19:00 CEST.
    We will also do some giveaways, so even if you did not participate; we invite you all to join us! 
     
    • NEW: Host your own event / tournament
    Want to host a tournament or event? Please reach out to our Event Organiser Hiko to have your events prizes sponsored by the Skylords Reborn team. If you got a cool idea for a PvE event, or want to host a PvP tournament, please don't hesitate to reach out to us, we will gladly assist you. 
     
    New Art for Firesworn
    Besides a new Logo and Icon, our artist Tweeto has been working on adjusting the art of Firesworn. As most would agree, Firesworn always felt a bit off compared to the other fire cards. Tweeto made a few changes to make it feel more in line with the rest of your deck. We hope you like it! 
     
    Current Artwork
     
    Adjusted Artwork

    The artwork has not yet been adjusted in-game yet. We expect to add it in an upcoming content update to the live server. 
    There are still some cards we would like to give a slight upgrade, but we will only do so if there are no other tasks with more priority to work on. With new cards in development, new artworks for those cards currently have more priority. 

    New Team Members / Team Changes
    Our moderation team welcomes a new (old) member! Bradley will be helping us out with moderation again.
    We are also happy to announce our first official Map Designer: Hodron! 
    Right now he is spending a lot of time on designing the new rPvE presets mentioned in the last community update; specifically what units and or bosses you will encounter. 
    Our developer _empty_ stepped down from his position. He worked on creating the installer used by new players to more easily be able to install and play the game. We would to again thank him for his contributions!
    Additionally, we will soon be adding at least one new server developer. 
    We have also added a new role into our open positions; Marketeer/Outreach Coordinator. As an Outreach Coordinator you are responsible to spread the word and create awareness about Skylords Reborn and to attract veteran and new players alike. This includes actively researching and reaching out to potentially interested influencers, streamers, youtubers, Discord channels, game magazines, among others. 

    As always; if you want to see Skylords Reborn succeed, please take a look at how you can help. There are still some open positions in our team.
     

    In conclusion
    Thanks for reading! 
    Is there anything you wish us to cover in upcoming community updates? As always, we are open to feedback so please let us know!

    Since I saw you're adding a marketing coordinator role I was wondering if you're planning to do some data analysis in the future on marketing data as well as player data?
    If you'll need some help with that, feel free to hit me up via pm!

    Greetings Skylords!

    It's been two weeks already since our last community update so it's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!

    New Logo
    Already teased in the updated Discord icons and Facebook profile, we also have a new logo! We are very happy with our fresh new look, which inspired us to also take another look at our landing page. Nothing to share yet there, but we are currently in the first stages of a redesign, and hope to share more with you in the future.
    We'd also like to take this time to let you know we are going to post these Community Updates on our Reddit as well. Please make sure to follow us there if that is your preferred platform to stay up to date on Skylords Reborn. 

    New cards are now in development
    As mentioned in the last Community Update, the exciting moment has come to design brand new cards for the game. We will release these new cards in batches, instead of a full expansion. Our plan for the first batch is to create new cards for 3 different factions, with up to 9 cards added in total. We are also planning to add affinities to some, if not all, of these cards.
    The past week, patrons with the Moon tier or higher were able to vote for their favorite factions. We are excited to announce the 3 factions that will receive new cards:
    - Frost
    - Amii (Shadow / Nature)
    - Bandits (Shadow / Fire)

    Don't worry, we plan to add new cards for each faction over time, the voting only impacted the order of our release. Since this is new territory for us, we are currently not able to say when new cards will be ready, and when the vote for the next batch will be. We will be actively working on this, but we don't want to rush out new cards.
     

    Expansion Icon

    New cards need a new expansion icon! The community was able to vote for their favorite icon on our social media (Twitter, Discord, Facebook and Reddit). All icons (from left to right: Phoenix, Ouroboros, Triskelion and Lotus) were symbols of Rebirth, which we found fitting for the current stage of the project. The votes were extremely close, with our Discord community heavily leaning towards Ouroboros, while the other media were rallying behind the Phoenix icon. Here is the icon you can expect on our upcoming cards (not just the factions mentioned above):


    Until further notice, all upcoming Skylords Reborn cards will have this icon. We are also looking into creating multiple versions of this expansion symbol, depending on the rarity. And of course not all cards will be ultra rare. Please note again: new cards have now started development, but we have no specific cards to share at this moment. 
    Thank you all for your votes and comments, and thank you Tweeto for your awesome work!

    New Patch on the test server

    A lot is happening on the test server as well. A large patch has hit the test server on the 9th of June. 
    The patch contains many balancing changes and experimental changes. Please take a look at the patch notes, test them out on the test server and take place in the discussion.
    Speaking of discussions, we would like your help in making a decision regarding the card Unity and if it should only effect own units or also allies.
    Please check out our Unity poll here.

    Don't worry, we plan to add new cards for each faction over time, the voting only impacted the order of our release. Since this is new territory for us, we are currently not able to say when new cards will be ready, and when the vote for the next batch will be. We will be actively working on this, but we don't want to rush out new cards.
     

    Expansion Icon

    New cards need a new expansion icon! The community was able to vote for their favorite icon on our social media (Twitter, Discord, Facebook and Reddit). All icons (from left to right: Phoenix, Ouroboros, Triskelion and Lotus) were symbols of Rebirth, which we found fitting for the current stage of the project. The votes were extremely close, with our Discord community heavily leaning towards Ouroboros, while the other media were rallying behind the Phoenix icon. Here is the icon you can expect on our upcoming cards (not just the factions mentioned above):


    Until further notice, all upcoming Skylords Reborn cards will have this icon. We are also looking into creating multiple versions of this expansion symbol, depending on the rarity. And of course not all cards will be ultra rare. Please note again: new cards have now started development, but we have no specific cards to share at this moment. 
    Thank you all for your votes and comments, and thank you Tweeto for your awesome work!

    New Patch on the test server

    A lot is happening on the test server as well. A large patch has hit the test server on the 9th of June. 
    The patch contains many balancing changes and experimental changes. Please take a look at the patch notes, test them out on the test server and take place in the discussion.
    Speaking of discussions, we would like your help in making a decision regarding the card Unity and if it should only effect own units or also allies.
    Please check out our Unity poll here.

    Upcoming Tournaments
    • FINISHED Official PvE Contest#1 Siege of Hope 
    The first official PvE contest on Siege of Hope is now finished! We will announce the winners in a stream on the 26th of June at 19:00 CEST.
    We will also do some giveaways, so even if you did not participate; we invite you all to join us! 
     
    • NEW: Host your own event / tournament
    Want to host a tournament or event? Please reach out to our Event Organiser Hiko to have your events prizes sponsored by the Skylords Reborn team. If you got a cool idea for a PvE event, or want to host a PvP tournament, please don't hesitate to reach out to us, we will gladly assist you. 
     
    New Art for Firesworn
    Besides a new Logo and Icon, our artist Tweeto has been working on adjusting the art of Firesworn. As most would agree, Firesworn always felt a bit off compared to the other fire cards. Tweeto made a few changes to make it feel more in line with the rest of your deck. We hope you like it! 
     
    Current Artwork
     
    Adjusted Artwork

    The artwork has not yet been adjusted in-game yet. We expect to add it in an upcoming content update to the live server. 
    There are still some cards we would like to give a slight upgrade, but we will only do so if there are no other tasks with more priority to work on. With new cards in development, new artworks for those cards currently have more priority. 

    New Team Members / Team Changes
    Our moderation team welcomes a new (old) member! Bradley will be helping us out with moderation again.
    We are also happy to announce our first official Map Designer: Hodron! 
    Right now he is spending a lot of time on designing the new rPvE presets mentioned in the last community update; specifically what units and or bosses you will encounter. 
    Our developer _empty_ stepped down from his position. He worked on creating the installer used by new players to more easily be able to install and play the game. We would to again thank him for his contributions!
    Additionally, we will soon be adding at least one new server developer. 
    We have also added a new role into our open positions; Marketeer/Outreach Coordinator. As an Outreach Coordinator you are responsible to spread the word and create awareness about Skylords Reborn and to attract veteran and new players alike. This includes actively researching and reaching out to potentially interested influencers, streamers, youtubers, Discord channels, game magazines, among others. 

    As always; if you want to see Skylords Reborn succeed, please take a look at how you can help. There are still some open positions in our team.
     

    In conclusion
    Thanks for reading! 
    Is there anything you wish us to cover in upcoming community updates? As always, we are open to feedback so please let us know!
    Here is a scratch code you can redeem in-game for 100bfp. COMM-UNIT-YUPD-ATE5

    Greetings Skylords!

    It's been two weeks already since our last community update so it's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!

    New Logo
    Already teased in the updated Discord icons and Facebook profile, we also have a new logo! We are very happy with our fresh new look, which inspired us to also take another look at our landing page. Nothing to share yet there, but we are currently in the first stages of a redesign, and hope to share more with you in the future.
    We'd also like to take this time to let you know we are going to post these Community Updates on our Reddit as well. Please make sure to follow us there if that is your preferred platform to stay up to date on Skylords Reborn. 

    New cards are now in development
    As mentioned in the last Community Update, the exciting moment has come to design brand new cards for the game. We will release these new cards in batches, instead of a full expansion. Our plan for the first batch is to create new cards for 3 different factions, with up to 9 cards added in total. We are also planning to add affinities to some, if not all, of these cards.
    The past week, patrons with the Moon tier or higher were able to vote for their favorite factions. We are excited to announce the 3 factions that will receive new cards:
    - Frost
    - Amii (Shadow / Nature)
    - Bandits (Shadow / Fire)

    Don't worry, we plan to add new cards for each faction over time, the voting only impacted the order of our release. Since this is new territory for us, we are currently not able to say when new cards will be ready, and when the vote for the next batch will be.
