Greetings Skylords!
A new month; a new Community Update! It's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!

• General Update

It's been a while since our last content patch, and we'd like to provide a brief update on the project. Skylords Reborn relies entirely on the free time of our dedicated volunteers. While we strive to address sudden spikes in inactivity as effectively as possible, there are occasions when unexpected delays are inevitable. Our aim is to strike a balance between revealing upcoming new content and features and getting them into your hands. Currently, this balance is a bit off, resulting in the announcement of some upcoming features a while ago, while they have not yet been implemented. We hope for your understanding in these matters and that you still appreciate us showing what we are working on.
We'd also like to inform you that progress on our upcoming campaign maps is proceeding smoothly. Although we haven't disclosed specific details yet, this decision was made deliberately. The process of map creation can be complex, and even in the late stages of development, maps can undergo significant changes. We want to ensure that our new maps earn their place alongside the existing campaign, so we've invested substantial time in establishing the foundational elements to build upon. Our dedicated testers are currently working to ensure these maps provide an enjoyable playing experience, and we're confident that the end result will be something you'll greatly appreciate. Please stay tuned for more updates!
 
• New Card Reveal - Bedrock

In June, we unveiled the artwork for our highly anticipated tier 4 Stonekin turtle. Since then, people have been curious about the card and its associated effects. Today we are excited to show you the design for the upcoming Stonekin unit: Bedrock.
Please note: We are still testing the card. While we are generally happy with it, numbers, effects, and its rarity might still change before release. 
 

 
Delving further into the building-focused Stonekin archetype, Bedrock offers Stonekin players an exciting and versatile tool for the endgame. If you want to learn more about this archetype, please check out the Stonekin Deep Dive!
Bedrock stands as a formidable elemental destroyer, capable of both laying siege to enemy buildings and constructing new ones. Additionally, it possesses the ability to fortify friendly structures with an Ice Shield. This card has a ranged auto-attack, siege, two active abilities, and, naturally, the Stonekin passive ability.
Bedrock will be available in two different affinities, each influencing its unique Sculptor ability. Once released, the card will drop from boosters and can be reforgable. 
Bedrock will be the first Ultra Rare card from the Rebirth Edition. To make sure enough players will be able to enjoy the card, we are considering hosting an event around the release where you can earn the card. Stay tuned for more information.  
 
 
 
Let's break down the card: 
 
 Rock Throw (auto attack)
Range: 30m
Every 3 seconds, unit fires a molten stone dealing 633 damage, up to 950 in total. Knocks back small and medium units.
 

Blessed/Tainted Sculptor
Range: 30m
Place a Stone Launcher with an affinity towards Frost/Shadow that deconstructs after 30 seconds at a target location within a 30m radius. Only one tower may be placed at a time. Can be placed nearby enemy units and structures. Reusable every 30 seconds.
 
Living Rampart
Cost: 50p - Range: 30m
All friendly buildings in a 30m radius will be fortified, gaining an Ice Shield that absorbs 1800 damage for 15 seconds. The Ice Shield renews itself once after 15 seconds to absorb an additional 1800 damage. Reusable every 30 seconds.
 
 Siege
Deals 100% more damage against structures.
 Adamant Skin (Stonekin faction passive ability)
The unit takes 15% less damage
 
Bedrock has been in the making for quite some time now, and we still need a little more time to work on some technical implications. Alongside the new Tectonic Shift card and some upcoming balance changes, we hope to improve and explore the playstyles of the Stonekin faction. We are currently not able to communicate a release date yet.
 
• Look reveal - Bedrock

And finally, here's a sneak peek at how Bedrock will appear in the game!  We hope you are looking forward to our new favourite stone turtle!
   • Community Spotlight - Masters of the Forge

Skylord of Honour and CCC-host Kapo started a new project this month: Masters of the Forge.
In this podcast-like series, Kapo interviews various staff members to discuss the project and personal stories about their interaction with BattleForge and Skylords Reborn. In his own words:
Masters of the Forge will shine a light on all those people working so tirelessly on Skylords Reborn - for the average Skylord, [Game Masters] are elite, mythical creatures too many know nothing about, and we will hopefully change that. So, in this dev-talk-like podcast series we will meet several Masters of the Forge in person, and hopefully I will be able to ask them questions that are interesting to you. And, you will also get the chance to ask them some questions! The series will be streamed on Twitch and afterwards uploaded on YouTube.
Please note that while the content created is supported by the SR Team and will be all about Skylords Reborn, this is no official event or dev-talk. The focus will be around the guest, what their duties are, how they feel about the game and its development - we will not elaborate future changes in depth or announce anything fancy. But hopefully we will know more about the guest and how It's like to be part of the SR Team.

There are currently 3 episodes to watch:

• Open Position - Map Tester
As a map tester, you get early access to new maps and game modes and are responsible to playtest them and provide feedback to the other map developers about possible issues or improvements. This includes checking how balanced the map is, how fun it is to play, if there are any exploits, if areas on the map need to be prettified etc. Map developers/designers/artists should be able to rely on you to make sure maps that are released or changed are done so properly.
More information.
 
But there are more roles available. Below, you can take a look at all our open positions. 
Skylords Reborn is a community-driven project fuelled by the passion and dedication of over 45 volunteers. We are always on the lookout for like-minded individuals. If you have a passion for gaming, programming, design, or marketing, we invite you to take a look at our open positions!
 

 
• In Conclusion

That's all for this Community Update! We appreciate you taking the time to read through it.
As is tradition, we're including a scratch code as a small token of our appreciation for your support.
The code will reward you with a Stonekin booster: DOYO-ULIK-ETUR-TLES
The code is valid until November 1st, when we will bring you another Community Update. 
We're always looking for ways to improve and value your feedback. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to share them with us. We'll be back next month with more updates on our ongoing projects and upcoming features. You can also sign up to our e-mail newsletter here.

The Skylords Reborn Wiki (not to be confused with the old BattleForge one) contains a lot of up-to-date information about the game. 

The list is probably not up to date anymore after the big restructuring. Right click on any card in ur inventory and open the upgrade menu, there you find the correct drop location per card on the claim/purchase tab. 

I have heard this once before, though I have been on streams before and around for a while, so I thought by now it was common knowledge. 
I always liked the name, though I mostly swapped to it because my older online name didnt work well in English pronunciation.
From the Zelda wiki: ''The gender of Majora is disputed, as neither the game nor any supplementary material states it.'' 🙂
I highly encourage more people to do it! 🙂 You dont even need boosters for it, you can just check your booster history and pick the last 8 to build a deck with.

Lots of interesting stuff discused, and loved the Tome deck idea for gampleay. 

OK , ignore this post, all good just did a reinstall and every thing is there. 🥰😎🤘

I know you can see a simple count of how many cards of each rarity you have in game, but I like keeping track of things more than most and I also like spreadsheets more than most, so I made a little spreadsheet to keep track of which cards I have, how upgraded they are, etc.
It has two sheets. One that tracks your collection:

 
And one with an overview/stats:

 
I'm not sure if anyone else will get any use out of it, but since I made it anyway I figured I'd post it. If you're so inclined, you can make a copy of it on Google Docs at this link.
(Also sorry if this isn't the ideal forum for this; I wasn't sure which was.)

Im mostly a not-rpve or speedrunning player. I greatly enjoy the campaign ^^

Since we now have a video editor, we plan to create more of these resources in the future. Our first focus was to get some trailers ready to help spread the word of the project, but gathering useful information in an easy watchable format is definitly something we are interested in 🙂

Greetings Skylords!
A new month; a new Community Update! It's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!

• Yearly Survey Results

Once more, a huge thank you to everyone who took part in our 2023 Survey. This year, more than 1700 of you generously shared your feedback on a wide array of topics, ranging from general perceptions of the project to thoughts on balance and upcoming features. As always, your insights will be instrumental in shaping our future updates and guiding our areas of focus. Just like last year, we have gathered all the responses and condensed them into a brief presentation.


 
• New Card Reveal - Tectonic Shift

Today we have an exciting upcoming Stonekin card to show you, first teased in our Stonekin Deep Dive. Take a look at Tectonic Shift!

 
Terrestrial Gate
Grants the targeted friendly Stonekin building the ability to relocate to another spot within a 100m range. After the relocation, the building will be more vulnerable, taking 50% more damage for 20 seconds. Reusable every 20 seconds.
 
Please note: We are still testing the card. While we are generally happy with it, numbers, effects and artwork might still change before release. 







By casting this spell on your Stonekin building, you grant it a permanent teleportation ability, akin to the mechanics of the Phase Tower. Once the spell is cast, you'll have the liberty to teleport the building multiple times throughout the match at no additional cost. It's worth noting that the teleportation range spans an impressive 100 meters, which is twice the distance covered by the Phase Tower (50 meters)
Tectonic Shift is meant for the building-focused Stonekin archetype. If you are interested in more information about this archetype, please take a look at our Stonekin Deep Dive! 
Below, you can see the teleport effect in all its glory:
 
• Voice Acting – Update

We have successfully completed our search for voice actors to bring our upcoming new cards and characters to life!
The next steps will be to finalize the scripts and get the voice actors to record their lines. We are very happy about the chosen candidates, and can't wait to show you more in the future. 
Everyone who applied as a voice actor should have received an e-mail about the results of their trail take. If, by any chance, you haven't received this email, please don't hesitate to reach out to me (Majora) directly via Discord or by sending a direct message on the Forum.
Thank you, and to be continued!
 
• Events

In between our monthly Community Updates, we host various events and tournaments, so be sure to keep a close eye on the in-game event tab and the forum calendar to stay informed and not miss out on any exciting events!
 
• FINISHED - CCC #12 - Say Goodbye To One
This CCC was a throwback to the very first CCC, where Skylords had to complete rPvE on difficulty 1 as fast as possible. Enough players participated to unlock a scratch code for the whole community! More information.
 
• Host your own tournament / event
Want to host a tournament or event? Please reach out to our other Event Organizers, @Metagross31 or @Minashigo Hiko. We can help you out with various topics and are glad to discuss potential ideas. We can also sponsor the prize pool for your event. If you have 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.
 
 • Gameplay Trailer

Continuing from our cinematic trailer, we're thrilled to present a fully voiced gameplay trailer for the game! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dreamlord for once again lending their voice to this project. We are already seeing an increase in new Skylords finding out about the project after watching the trailer, which is lovely to see!
As a volunteer project, we are very limited to what we can do on the marketing side, so this trailer reaching the masses is super important for us. Please help us out by liking and sharing the trailer! As a thank you, we have also added a scratch code in the comment section of the video. Please don't share this code with other players directly, but point them towards the trailer instead!
We hope the community can come together to make this trailer a great success!

As a labor of love carried out by volunteers, Skylord Reborn's growth has been dependent on word-of-mouth recommendations and reconnecting with BattleForge's former playerbase. With over 130,000 registered accounts, we've been pretty successful in doing so. However, we remain convinced that there is still a lot of untapped potential. While a substantial portion of our player community comprises BattleForge veterans, there exists a vast expanse of real-time strategy (RTS) and trading card game (TCG) enthusiasts who are yet to discover this unique blend of genres. The above trailer was created with this in mind, showcasing the game for what it is in a way that does not require BattleForge knowledge. The next step is to actually reach those players, which brings us to....
 
• Contribute - Spotlight

There are two roles in specific we would like to highlight this month.
First off, we are looking for an active and passionate outreach coordinator, helping us reach new Skylords by contacting streamers, influencers, media, and other potential parties. This role can make a drastic impact for Skylords Reborn, so please consider applying.
 
• Marketeer / Outreach Coordinator
As a Marketeer / Outreach Coordinator, you are responsible to spread the word and create awareness about Skylords Reborn, attracting veteran and new players alike. 
Your tasks will include actively researching and reaching out to potentially interested streamers, YouTubers, Discord channels, game magazines, among others. You will be responsible for the communication to and from interested parties and for any promotion deals (for example involving scratch codes). Please note that Skylords Reborn cannot do any paid promotions. 
More information. 

Second, we are looking for someone to help us in the Event Department. Where an Outreach Coordinator draws in new players, Event Managers try to keep them invested by providing fun events to participate, either by hosting them or supporting community members in doing so.
 
• Event Manager / Organizer
As an event organizer, you are responsible to design and organize official events and tournaments from start to finish. This process includes research for new and fun event ideas, design the event and rewards, promote and organize the event and ensure it runs smoothly as a whole. 
Furthermore, you will also be responsible for the communication from and to the community for anything event and tournament related and to guarantee all rewards are handed out accordingly. Lastly, as an event organizer, you are also the contact person for unofficial community events and tournaments seeking for sponsorship from the project. 
More information.

But there are more roles available. Below, you can take a look at all our open positions. 
Skylords Reborn is a community-driven project fueled by the passion and dedication of over 45 volunteers. We are always on the lookout for like-minded individuals. If you have a passion for gaming, programming, design, or marketing, we invite you to take a look at our open positions!
 

 
• New Team Members

We had five new members join the project the past month!

We have two new moderators; Linkx is our new Discord Moderator, while Vultagx is our new Global Moderator. Feel free to contact them if you have a question or run into any issues in the game or on our Discord.
We also have two new developers; Pierakor is our new Tool Developer. His initial focus will be on the Special Effects Editor, which we use for editing and creating new special effects in-game. He will work closely with our two Tech Artist to improve our tool according to their needs. Lucas Ansei is our new Web Developer. He will be working with our other developers on the internal web-interface.
Last but not least, Kayrie has joined the team as a Map Artist. He will help out the Map Department who are currently working on new Campaign Maps, making sure they will look visually appealing. 
 
• In Conclusion

That's all for this Community Update! We appreciate you taking the time to read through it.
As is tradition, we're including a scratch code as a small token of our appreciation for your support.
The code will reward you with a Stonekin booster: NEWT-ECTO-NICS-HIFT

The code is valid until October 1st, when we will bring you another Community Update. 
We're always looking for ways to improve and value your feedback. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to share them with us. We'll be back next month with more updates on our ongoing projects and upcoming features. You can also sign up to our e-mail newsletter here.

• Skylords Reborn Documents (Deep Dives, Behind the Scenes, PvP Guide)  
• Overview Community Updates
• Community Update August 2023

Skylords and Skyladies;
Time for something new!
Masters of the Forge will shine a light on all those people working so tirelessly on Skylords Reborn - for the average Skylord, [Game Masters] are elite, mythical creatures too many know nothing about, and we will hopefully change that. So, in this dev-talk-like podcast series we will meet several Masters of the Forge in person, and hopefully I will be able to ask them questions that are interesting to you. And, you will also get the chance to ask them some questions! The series will be streamed on Twitch and afterwards uploaded on YouTube.
Please note that while the content created is supported by the SR Team and will be all about Skylords Reborn, this is no official event or dev-talk. The focus will be around the guest, what their duties are, how they feel about the game and its development - we will not elaborate future changes in depth or announce anything fancy. But hopefully we will know more about the guest and how It's like to be part of the SR Team.
Due to some connection problems, the start of this series was delayed and almost not happening, but the situation changed in a positive on short notice. So the first instance is already happening tomorrow, and I'm proud to announce that the first guest is the lovely [GM] Dutchy, Lead Moderator.
 
Quick Overview:
Guest                         [GM] Dutchy, Lead Moderator Date                          03. 09. 2023 Time                         19:30 CEST Link                           www.twitch.tv/kapostream  
At this point, three to four of this podcast-like streams are planned now, and they will continue if there is interest in them, otherwise they will just fade out. So if you want to support this kind of format, please join the stream or take interest in the YouTube video of it, so we estimate properly if this is worth the precious time of the Masters of the Forge - in case of interest, the planned length of this series is 10–15 episodes.
Kapo

• Skylords Reborn Documents (Deep Dives, Behind the Scenes, PvP Guide)  
• Overview Community Updates
• Community Update August 2023

I'd like to say a couple of things.
First of all, the animation for that new stoneskin speel is absolutely awesome! Whoever came up with this, great work!
Second, when it comes to events, i would simply like events that involve minor changes on the pve missions, for example a temporary new option when you go into a mission like encounters with twilight and you select the event option, something like "all your cards cost 100% more but you will get 100% more gold for completing it. I know some people also already mentioned mutations like in starcraft and i also believe its a cool idea, but probably tough to implement. But maybe something like the treasure goblins from Diablo would work here. That everyday you can find one, lets call it a thief, who randomly spawns on the map (except for boss and starting areas) he will be tough to kill cause he might be very fast in running away, but if you kill him you get a nice pile of gold.
Third, i really like the gameplay trailer, super well done. The only thing that i think was missing is that when he mentioned that there are also completely new cards here they should have shown one, like the Wasteland terror for example.
Fourth, I wish the new team members all the luck and fun in the world, hope you will have a great time! @Linkz @Vultagx @pierakor @lucas_ansei @Kayrie
Fifth, great community update as always, the survey overview was really nice, thanks everyone once again for this incredible accomplishment! Skylords Reborn is a f**king gem!!!

Greetings Skylords!
A new month; a new Community Update! It's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!

• Yearly Survey Results

Once more, a huge thank you to everyone who took part in our 2023 Survey.

Grants the targeted friendly Stonekin building the ability to relocate to another spot within a 100m range. After the relocation, the building will be more vulnerable, taking 50% more damage for 20 seconds. Reusable every 20 seconds.
 
Please note: We are still testing the card. While we are generally happy with it, numbers, effects and artwork might still change before release. 







By casting this spell on your Stonekin building, you grant it a permanent teleportation ability, akin to the mechanics of the Phase Tower. Once the spell is cast, you'll have the liberty to teleport the building multiple times throughout the match at no additional cost. It's worth noting that the teleportation range spans an impressive 100 meters, which is twice the distance covered by the Phase Tower (50 meters)
Tectonic Shift is meant for the building-focused Stonekin archetype. If you are interested in more information about this archetype, please take a look at our Stonekin Deep Dive!

• Voice Acting – Update

We have successfully completed our search for voice actors to bring our upcoming new cards and characters to life!
The next steps will be to finalize the scripts and get the voice actors to record their lines. We are very happy about the chosen candidates, and can't wait to show you more in the future. 
Everyone who applied as a voice actor should have received an e-mail about the results of their trail take. If, by any chance, you haven't received this email, please don't hesitate to reach out to me (Majora) directly via Discord or by sending a direct message on the Forum.
Thank you, and to be continued!
 
• Events

In between our monthly Community Updates, we host various events and tournaments, so be sure to keep a close eye on the in-game event tab and the forum calendar to stay informed and not miss out on any exciting events!
 
• FINISHED - CCC #12 - Say Goodbye To One
This CCC was a throwback to the very first CCC, where Skylords had to complete rPvE on difficulty 1 as fast as possible. Enough players participated to unlock a scratch code for the whole community! More information.
 
• Host your own tournament / event
Want to host a tournament or event? Please reach out to our other Event Organizers, @Metagross31 or @Minashigo Hiko. We can help you out with various topics and are glad to discuss potential ideas. We can also sponsor the prize pool for your event. If you have 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.
 
 • Gameplay Trailer

Continuing from our cinematic trailer, we're thrilled to present a fully voiced gameplay trailer for the game! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dreamlord for once again lending their voice to this project. We are already seeing an increase in new Skylords finding out about the project after watching the trailer, which is lovely to see!
As a volunteer project, we are very limited to what we can do on the marketing side, so this trailer reaching the masses is super important for us. Please help us out by liking and sharing the trailer! As a thank you, we have also added a scratch code in the comment section of the video. Please don't share this code with other players directly, but point them towards the trailer instead!
We hope the community can come together to make this trailer a great success!

As a labor of love carried out by volunteers, Skylord Reborn's growth has been dependent on word-of-mouth recommendations and reconnecting with BattleForge's former playerbase. With over 130,000 registered accounts, we've been pretty successful in doing so. However, we remain convinced that there is still a lot of untapped potential. While a substantial portion of our player community comprises BattleForge veterans, there exists a vast expanse of real-time strategy (RTS) and trading card game (TCG) enthusiasts who are yet to discover this unique blend of genres. The above trailer was created with this in mind, showcasing the game for what it is in a way that does not require BattleForge knowledge. The next step is to actually reach those players, which brings us to....
 
• Contribute - Spotlight

There are two roles in specific we would like to highlight this month.
First off, we are looking for an active and passionate outreach coordinator, helping us reach new Skylords by contacting streamers, influencers, media, and other potential parties. This role can make a drastic impact for Skylords Reborn, so please consider applying.
 
• Marketeer / Outreach Coordinator
As a Marketeer / Outreach Coordinator, you are responsible to spread the word and create awareness about Skylords Reborn, attracting veteran and new players alike. 
Your tasks will include actively researching and reaching out to potentially interested streamers, YouTubers, Discord channels, game magazines, among others. You will be responsible for the communication to and from interested parties and for any promotion deals (for example involving scratch codes). Please note that Skylords Reborn cannot do any paid promotions. 
More information. 

Second, we are looking for someone to help us in the Event Department. Where an Outreach Coordinator draws in new players, Event Managers try to keep them invested by providing fun events to participate, either by hosting them or supporting community members in doing so.
 
• Event Manager / Organizer
As an event organizer, you are responsible to design and organize official events and tournaments from start to finish. This process includes research for new and fun event ideas, design the event and rewards, promote and organize the event and ensure it runs smoothly as a whole. 
Furthermore, you will also be responsible for the communication from and to the community for anything event and tournament related and to guarantee all rewards are handed out accordingly. Lastly, as an event organizer, you are also the contact person for unofficial community events and tournaments seeking for sponsorship from the project. 
More information.

But there are more roles available. Below, you can take a look at all our open positions. 
Skylords Reborn is a community-driven project fueled by the passion and dedication of over 45 volunteers. We are always on the lookout for like-minded individuals. If you have a passion for gaming, programming, design, or marketing, we invite you to take a look at our open positions!
 

 
• New Team Members

We had five new members join the project the past month!

We have two new moderators; Linkx is our new Discord Moderator, while Vultagx is our new Global Moderator. Feel free to contact them if you have a question or run into any issues in the game or on our Discord.
We also have two new developers; Pierakor is our new Tool Developer. His initial focus will be on the Special Effects Editor, which we use for editing and creating new special effects in-game. He will work closely with our two Tech Artist to improve our tool according to their needs. Lucas Ansei is our new Web Developer. He will be working with our other developers on the internal web-interface.
Last but not least, Kayrie has joined the team as a Map Artist. He will help out the Map Department who are currently working on new Campaign Maps, making sure they will look visually appealing. 
 
• In Conclusion

That's all for this Community Update! We appreciate you taking the time to read through it.
As is tradition, we're including a scratch code as a small token of our appreciation for your support.
The code will reward you with a Stonekin booster: NEWT-ECTO-NICS-HIFT

The code is valid until October 1st, when we will bring you another Community Update. 
We're always looking for ways to improve and value your feedback. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to share them with us.
