Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!


absolutely love the artwork. Magic: the Gathering, but more involved it seems.


Mmmm...i really like the look. I think this is one of the first IOTD projects I might want to download and try out, even though I'd say i've never been one for these kinds of card games.

Beautiful game!
Would you share a few information about development?
How many people are working on the title and for how long?

Some information about the restrictions of the trial-mode on the homepage would be good. I also think, that your great artist should create some graphical buttons for the website. This can make a huge difference.

Feel free to contact me, when you would like to talk a bit about the life as an independent game developer.

I've played the trial, and I must say that I like it. It has a nice feel to it. The music creates a nice atmosphere, the artwork is good and the user interface is well done too. I did encounter a typo in the tutorial though. Also, when I started the game for the first time, it told me to install the XNA 3.1 redistributable. I did, but it still tells me to install it every time I launch. I can just press "no" and continue.

Sure. Our team consists of one artist and one programmer (both doing game design as well). We also commissioned music from Vel9 Studios (Levan Iordanishvili). We started working on the project in January 2009 and we released it in September 2009.

Mythoria is actually based on another game we created back in 2003. Sadly, we never got to finish it due to our busy university/college schedules. Now, after education and work experience we decided to revisit our old game concept. We started from scratch and produced a much more refined game.

While producing the game graphics was mostly a routine job, creating all the card artwork was a huge undertaking for any one person. However, it seems to have paid off.

We are currently marketing Mythoria (any tips are welcome!) and working on our next game.


Just played the demo - looks and feels really professional. Congrats!

As for marketing tips I'd say the following:
- blog about development of your game
- release your game via Steam etc.
- send link to your game demo to many game websites, so they mention you or maybe even review your game

Also, not sure how difficult that would be for you but you may try to release the game for XBLA (or PSN). There's many small games like yours there.

Wish you good luck selling your game!
