New Game Announced - Rise & Ruin
Company: Veil Entertainment
Date: 15 Mar 2007
TORONTO, CANADA – (March 12, 2007) – Veil Entertainment and Spore Productions are pleased to announce the development of Rise & Ruin, an
online, card-based, fantasy combat game set for release for both PC and Mac this spring.
'We’re excited to be working on a project that combines the best of what we love from three distinct genres,’ says Geoffrey MacDougall, Producer and
Lead Designer. ‘We’ve had this idea for a while and are pleased that web-based technology has reached the point where we can achieve our vision
for strategically complex, character-driven, and fast-paced game play.’
Rise & Ruin will feature 600 attack, defense, and specialty cards building on 4 core combat skills, 4 unique defense skills, 5 diverse magic skills,
and 12 specialty categories. The cinematic action and adrenaline-driven sequences triggered by each card will add visual intensity to the strategic
card collection and deck-building. The RPG-style character development – skills and attributes that modify the cards – will foster an in-game
community similar to those found in more traditional MMOGs.
Rise & Ruin players will be able to challenge each other to dramatic online duels and participate in organized tournaments. They will customize their
avatars to reflect their personal style. Players will even be able to train their characters and trade cards with their friends through their mobile
phones. Similar to other micro-transaction-based games, players will have the unrestricted option of playing for free, for as long as they wish, with
additional perks and content available for purchase within the game.
Rise & Ruin is being produced through the financial support of Telefilm Canada, Administrator of The Canada New Media Fund, funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage, Government of Canada.
