Community Art Collaboration with Léonard Dupond
As you might have seen on our socials, we are almost halfway through the campaign. We wanted a thank you to our community who believe in this game, so we've decided to include you in the art design!
In total, we have 3 TITAN card arts in our Deluxe edition that we want to be designed by our community and drawn (of course) by Léonard Dupond. Over the next week or so, we will reveal each of these cards and show some art updates along the way. We don't really believe in stretch goals or crazy incentives, so this is just automatically happening as a thank you to you all.
And now for our first art brief! This Titan is in the Smugglers class. The smugglers worship corvids, as they help symbolize their intelligence and crafty natures. So their Titan robots tend to be crows, owls, and ravens.
Card Name: Infiltration
Effect: "Draw the top card of the Titan Deck and shuffle this card into the Titan Deck. ◎ If held for the bid: Prior to resolving the bid, swap this card with a card in the Titan Supply"
It's a very interesting card that people have been absolutely loving in playtesting. And now we get to see what it will look like thanks to you.
Please leave a comment below with your suggested card art idea and have a chance for your input to be implemented into the game! Make sure to also give likes to your favorites to increase the chances that they are chosen. Keep in mind the art on Titans usually involves the Titan itself, and we've been leaning into some more abstract, almost movie poster style vibes on them. So have some fun with it!
When creating your art brief, make sure to consider both the card Name and its Effect. Describe the scene, the action being taken, and what is the overall feeling or vibe. For example "Transmutation - A mechanical octopus sacrifices a plant/tree (so it turns black, withered, dusty, fallen), harvesting its energy to fill up viles of blasting energy, oozing liquid into a vile."
F.A.Q.s update
Neoprene Mat Add-On?
The interest was loud and clear. We will be offering a neoprene mat as an optional add-on through BackerKit after the campaign closes. We didn't want to complicate the campaign with more tiers, but this way anyone who wants one can grab it without it being bundled into a package you might not need. More details on pricing and design when we get closer to the pledge manager.
Deluxe Box Art?
Over 75% of you really wanted the red box for the Deluxe edition. But we didn't want to leave out the folks who liked the black and gold. And unfortunately we can't do two separate deluxe versions.
So here's what we're doing: the Deluxe edition will come in the standard red box, with a black and gold embossed sleeve over it. Like the black and gold look? Keep the sleeve on. Prefer the red? Slide it off. And we're also happy to announce both will be getting UV stamping which should give everything that deluxe feel. Either way it looks great on a shelf.
