Heading into the New Year 2013
Posted on December 28, 2012 by Nulgath

Hello All,

We are almost 1 year into the development of Oversoul the game! I figured I'd jump on here and give an update of what's happening on Oversoul in the coming weeks. I think we can all agree new gameplay features is what Oversoul really needs. New characters can only go so far in an incomplete game. There's way over a 100+ characters in-game right now... Releasing all of these characters and not having any destination for them is frustrating to me as I know it can be to you players.

I have a great team and we are working towards adding new core gameplay features each week. Card customization is next in line it's the main focus for the coming weeks. I wish these features could happen faster but I have to let everything evolve as it needs to.

Part of the slow down has been the game breaking bugs that the coders have had to work on over the last couple of weeks. Not only battle desyncs but also server spam and hacks causing the whole system to become unstable.

I realize now the game would probably have been much easier to make if it weren't an MMORPG but playing online with friends is part of what will make Oversoul great.

I just want to say I appreciate you players that continue to believe in the potential Oversoul has. We have a small community and a small team but big dreams to make this game great! I will continue to give this game my very best work till my vision of what it should be becomes real!

Card Customization will be next! Lets get er dun!!!!


With that said...

Player Suggestion Contest!

Lets mix things up while we wait for the major game features. I want to get some player suggested characters into Oversoul. If you have and character suggestion or your own drawing you'd like put into the Oversoul World, do the following and I will choose a player's suggestion as inspiration to turn into an Oversoul character and put ingame.
1.Tweet your image to https://twitter.com/Nulgath with the hashtag #oversoulcontest
2.In the description of your image, list your character's element and suggested speech bubble lines.
3.(Optional) List possible attack animations your character might have.

I'll choose my 4 favorites over the weekend and let you vote for the one you want most on the forum. I'll develop the 1st place and 2nd place entries and put them into Oversoul! This should keep things interesting while we wait for card customization. We'll start adding characters like this for a bit.

Coming Next Week!

So you have something for next week, I'll also randomly choose an entry ( maybe two ) as inspiration to release this coming week!

Zeuster -> RE: =OS= Design Notes December 28, 2012: Heading into the New Year 2013 (12/29/2012 10:31:34)

wish i could participate in this..but my drawing skills are less than even blegh...
Better at SUGGESTING characters than drawing them.

What?

@Zeuster

You could ask someone to draw for you?




ND Mallet -> RE: =OS= Design Notes December 28, 2012: Heading into the New Year 2013 (12/29/2012 10:38:04)

@zeuster You don't have to draw it, just add a story and description of it.




dethhollow -> RE: =OS= Design Notes December 28, 2012: Heading into the New Year 2013 (12/29/2012 10:59:47)

I could probably draw something for you after a while, Zeuster. Only problem is how close the deadline is.




Asuka -> RE: =OS= Design Notes December 28, 2012: Heading into the New Year 2013 (12/29/2012 11:07:36)

If it makes you feel better I didn't draw anything at all and still got the attention of Rev. It's just a backstory you will need, drawing is wanted but its really optional!

Lord Areswe -> RE: =OS= Design Notes December 28, 2012: Heading into the New Year 2013 (12/29/2012 12:50:52)

Now my only question is...
Is it worth creating a twitter account for?
Wish there was a forum option




Vagaran -> RE: =OS= Design Notes December 28, 2012: Heading into the New Year 2013 (12/29/2012 12:51:33)

@Lord Areswe

Twitter is pretty much free to use....




Matgon -> RE: =OS= Design Notes December 28, 2012: Heading into the New Year 2013 (12/29/2012 12:52:50)

I like these types of contests, even thought I can't draw it get's all the community involved and shows how talented some people are I'm sure there are some future OS artists amongst the community somewhere just like Dage in AQW.




Victoria3114 -> RE: =OS= Design Notes December 28, 2012: Heading into the New Year 2013 (12/29/2012 12:53:36)

I've submitted mine! It's okay to use a twitpic link, right?

Andodalf -> RE: =OS= Design Notes December 28, 2012: Heading into the New Year 2013 (12/29/2012 12:55:17)

Matgon -> RE: =OS= Design Notes December 28, 2012: Heading into the New Year 2013 (12/29/2012 12:57:38)

@Victoria: Yup it's totally fine your tweet to nulgath should look something like this:

"@nulgath Here is my OS contest entry #oversoulcontest http://twitpic.com/bqja4s"

1. Holy Cow, you draw amzing!

2. Why not draw your own idea? Or maybe help someone who can't draw, but got a great idea in mind?

3. Agreed!




Lord Areswe -> RE: =OS= Design Notes December 28, 2012: Heading into the New Year 2013 (12/29/2012 17:02:26)

Alright I'm committed (well not to draw but at least to describe) a character!
but what should the theme be?
lovecraftian? or angelic?




ND Mallet -> RE: =OS= Design Notes December 28, 2012: Heading into the New Year 2013 (12/29/2012 18:35:49)

@lord I say moose but some might call me biased
