Burning Bog Blog 14: Scourge Brawl Operations Temporarily Ceased

Hello everyone,

This is Jdotson speaking as the lead developer of Scourge Brawl, the card game. Today is January 14, 2021 and, as you are probably aware, it has been exactly 5 months and 4 days since the last update to Scourge Brawl. While focus was shifted to War of Champions, our Minecraft MOBA development, there is much more to understand regarding this shift. The main reason was the lack of attention due to advertising difficulties for the game. It's hard to find the right place to say, "hey, I made a card game, but you have to print and make around 500 cards to play the full version." On the other hand, War of Champions has the ability to be advertised on hundreds of Minecraft map websites and receive attention that way.

For these reasons, development for future updates and patches for Scourge Brawl have been temporarily ceased. I will consider revisiting the game in the future, but for now, I must officially put it on pause.

Thank you for your time,

Jdotson
Character Previews

Located in the south direction, the Character Previews menu allows players to read about character's kits before entering a game. It also allows players to enter draft mode, which is an optional, unique way to select characters before starting a game.

## Menu Features

### Character Preview Booklets

Character Preview Booklets are located inside labeled shulker boxes based on a character's primary specialty. These booklets allow players to read about characters' kits before jumping into game as them.

### Draft Mode

By selecting the light gray Draft Mode button, players can enter the **Draft Mode Lobby**. The Draft Mode Lobby allows players to alternate turns banning and then selecting characters to then play in a game of War of Champions. If you are familiar with MOBA drafting, this process is quite similar:

1. First, purple team will ban a character by finding said character's splash art map in one of the labeled shulker boxes and then placing it next to the purple team bans list on the wall.
2. Next, gold team will do the same. The two teams will alternate until both teams have 3 total bans, for 6 bans total.
3. Next, purple team will select one character to play by finding said character's splash art map in of the labeled shulker boxes and then placing it next to the purple team picks list on the wall.
4. Next, gold team will do the same, this time selecting two characters.
5. Next, purple team will do the same again, this time selecting two characters.
6. Finally, gold team will do the same again, this time selecting their final character, thus both teams having full teams of 3, for 6 picks total.

(SWTS Kit) Guardian

The Guardian kit is one of the nine standard kits in Sky Wars: True Shot. It is themed around throwing a trident instead of relying on a bow. It has a difficulty of hard.

## Kit Items

* **Standard Bow** with Infinity and Unbreakable
* 1 **Arrow**
* **Trident** (Trident with Loyalty III and Unbreakable)
	+ *"Travels back after throwing."*

## Strategies

Guardian is an original kit because of the shear power of the Trident. A good Guardian player will very rarely use his/her bow because the damage dealt by the Trident is much greater.

When throwing the Trident, it is important to note that if it does not hit an entity, **it won't return to you**. Good Guardian players know when to throw their Trident and when not to, for if it misses, their kit is useless.

The timing of the Trident throw is also quite different from a standard bow, making it take getting used to.

This kit is best used on medium to larger maps, as small maps make it a higher probability for you to lose your Trident. A good Guardian player knows locations on every map to camp where they can safely throw their Trident anywhere, knowing it will hit something.

Burning Bog Blog 7: Lost in the Wastelands Announcement

## Welcome to the Seventh Burning Bog Blog!

In this edition, we will be announcing and revealing some new cards from the upcoming team-specific expansion: Lost in the Wastelands! The expansion will be released on August 24, 2019.

## Helboar

### Expansion or Set

Lost in the Wastelands

The Wastelands is a region filled with dunes and sandy storms, with all kinds of gods and mummies alike! Our teams have gotten lost in the sands, so its time to befriend some of the creatures that lie beneath the dunes.

### New Keyword: Dual

Some of these creatures seem a bit sick. A dark spell has been cast on this land creating copies of some of these animals!

Cards with the keyword **Dual** have two copies. This means that you can have two copies of a Dual card in your deck! This will allow you to more reliably draw cards with Dual from your deck, making them great control options! Keep in mind, though, that you are not required to put two copies of a card with Dual into your deck, and that putting two copies of the same card into your deck does count towards your 20 card deck limit!

## Holy Colossus

### Expansion or Set

Lost in the Wastelands

Helboar is a 4 energy, 6/0 Beast with Dual and Ambush. This means if you put two copies of Helboar into your deck, it is always more likely to draw a Helboar than any other card!

### Beware of Colossus Gods!

Colossus Gods roam this land, protecting it from wanderers and invaders! To them, you are nothing more than just that. Both teams will receive a Colossus, a 5 cost 5/1 with a Godly effect.

Here is the Garagzhan Colossus, Holy Colossus!

It is a 5 cost 5/1 that reads as "Play: Set a friendly minion's scare to 7. If it already has 7 scare, give it +2 Health."

This card is an attempt at giving the Garagzhan team more tools to create 7 scare minions, as Invurdi currently contains multiple ways to do so.

### Cards

Each team will be receiving 7 cards total.

* 3 commons
* 2 rares
* 1 epic
* 1 Legendary

Each team will also be receiving 1 spell. Keep an eye out for more card reveals until Lost in the Wastelands releases on August 24, 2019.
Skins

A **character skin** refers to an alternate appearance for any given War of Champions character. All skins can be purchased from the Shop menu using Emeralds, while some are only available for a limited time for purchase via unique methods. Every skin comes with its own unique splash art and trait icons, while some skins also give champions different particle effects or trait shop appearances (their price varies accordingly).

In the Shop menu, skins are organized by season, and then further by set. To purchase most skins, find the skin you want to purchase, then trade the stated amount of Emeralds for the skin unlock button. Place the unlock button on the Activate Skin block, and then select it to activate your new skin! Once you've activated a skin, any player can use it. Select the Deactivate Skin button to remove the skin and use the base skin instead.

## Pricing

 Royal
 Legendary
 Epic
 Rare

### Exceptions

* Heartbreaker Irilla is the only Legendary-tiered skin to have a passive particle trail

## Available Skins

This Category lists all champion skins available in the Shop as well as those that can be unlocked by meeting special requirements.
Re'skyla, the Risen

Re'skyla, the Risen, is a marksman/controller character in War of Champions. She uses powerful fire magic and late game power to topple enemies.

## Lore

Before Creation, Skylar set foot upon the cosmos and walked amongst the ash and dust. She saw her sisters creating planets and moons to orbit them, but no matter how hard she tried, she was unable to herself. Perhaps this was due to the taunting and bullying she received from her sisters. During a cataclysmic event on all of the sister's created worlds, Skylar witnessed a burning sensation in her heart as she watched her sister's planets become burnt to a crisp. It was as if Skylar was filled with rage and could burst into a new figure, that which she did. Skylar ascended into a phoenix, born from the rage she was filled with due to her sisters' bullying.

After ascending, Skylar once again decided to try to create, this time resulting in success. She created the most perfect planet, and named it after what her sisters would refer to her future planet as: Fahrlend, or, "a far land." After Fahrlend's scientists began to study the story of Skylar, they named her Re'skyla, which translates to "the One from Ash."

## Abilities

### **Ascension** - Passive Trait

Re'skyla can upgrade her **Ash Draft** in her trait shop to include all positive bow enchantments at maximum level. Positive enchantments include Power 5, Punch 2, Flame, and Infinity.

*Upgrade Cost: 64 enemy nuggets*

Bow.

*Starting Amount: 32 Arrows*

Positive status effects include Speedness, Haste, Strength, Instant Health, Jump Boost, Regeneration, Resistance, Fire Resistance, Water Breathing, Invisibility, Night Vision, Health Boost, Absorption, Saturation, Luck, Dolphin's Grace, and Conduit Power.

*Cooldown Cost: 15 nuggets*

(Short Story) What Kind of World We Live In

When Dialgo was just eleven, he saw his father rape another woman.

He wasn't so certain what was going on. He didn't really have to know to understand that the woman wasn't enjoying it. He vividly remembers her frail body, starved from any nutrition for an extended period of time, pressed harshly against the cold glacial surface. He had so many questions: Why was his father with another woman? Who was this woman? Who was his father? The ladder really stuck with him. The question spun around his bones, causing shivers in the already freezing wasteland that was Valera.

His race of creatures, the Skolerans, were quite isolated people. They mostly kept to themselves, but families were usually close-knit. After the traumatic incident, Dialgo wandered home and cried in his hut for hours. His sister, Everma, sensing a depressing aura from walking past the hut, decided to cautiously enter. She spoke softly as to not ignore the somber atmosphere.

"Dia? Hello?"

There was an extended pause of null void clouded by looming darkness and defeat. The darkness became a wild storm of doubt, uncertainty, and self-consciousness. Then, the storm took shape into an eye, seemingly judging every part of Dialgo's body. The eye had long, sharp-edged scythes that extended from an unknown void behind it. Before he knew it, Dialgo was pierced through his eyes by the scythes, and thus, brought back to reality. Completely dazed and slightly nauseous, he begged Everma to leave him by his lonesome for a short while. He promised to be at dinner that night. He may have made it to the table, but his father did not.

Since that day, Dialgo only remembers the traumatic incident when walking near the location in which it happened. Every time he does so, the same one-eyed stormy creature stabs him in the eyes. One day he told Everma what had happened. He felt guilty for keeping it a secret.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" she asked out of pure curiosity with no malicious intent.

"Because I didn't want you to get hurt." There was a pause. Everma seemed confused by what he meant by the word "hurt." Dialgo attempted to reiterate. "Hurt by imagining how my words actually played out in reality. Sometimes I even question what actually played out."

"Doesn't that worry you? That you'll, I don't know, forget it one day? And not remember what he did?"

"I'm not sure."

Dialgo had a better response, but he didn't want to confuse or hurt Everma any further than he already did. He felt like there was some sort of evil entity trying their hardest to make him forget. But what kind of entity's main focus in life is to make people forget? Maybe one that wishes they lived in a different reality to the one that they were currently living in.
(Game Announcement) Settlement, Now in Development!

Hello, everyone! This is the Minecraft Team speaking from JdotGames, informing you about a new Minecraft map that is being developed: **Settlement.** In this thread, we hope to introduce you to the world of Settlement, update you on our progress, and hopefully get you excited for its release. Enjoy!

## What is Settlement?

Settlement is a single player Minecraft map loosely inspired by the Animal Crossing games. Settlement allows you to play single player Minecraft in a way like no other. Instead of relying on resources to collect materials, Settlement forces you to engage in a capitalist economy by permanently keeping you in Adventure mode.

### Settlement's Currency: Ems

Ems are the currency used in game. They work like the US Dollar or any other currency. You will collect Ems by completing tasks at your job or completing activities around the world.

### Komodo Island

In Settlement, you'll land safely on Komodo Island via their International Airport. As soon as you land, you'll have the freedom to engage in the economy however you like. Get an education at a school to work a job and upgrade your position, or purchase an apartment and upgrade to a mansion to access more rewards and storage space!

### Features

Just like Animal Crossing, Komodo Island has many features beyond working and owning a home. You can collect animals and summon them in your Zoo! You can gamble your Ems at the local Casino! The opportunities to have fun on Komodo Island are endless!

## Development Progress Check #1

This is the first progress check we are reporting you on. While the idea have been fully fleshed out, development as a whole has very much so just begun. We look forward to updating you further in the future.

## Release Schedule

As of now, Settlement does not have a specific release date, but will plan to be released in Late Summer 2020. We hope you are just as excited as we are to explore this new world!

(The Main Events) The Creation of Fahrlend

Before everything, there was nothing. And then came the universe as we know it today: unstable, filled with dark matter, and ruled by the celestials. The king and most powerful celestial of them all, Amaggadon, was the first celestial to ever begin toying with the universe. One day, he used his cosmic powers to craft a group of children for him to raise, as his work on creating the stars by himself was too daunting of a task. He created four sisters: Maer'wok, Skylar, Priscillus, and Elliot. Amaggadon could not simply create the hardest working, super creative, most fantastical celestials to create for him. They were born just as a child: dumb and unbeknownst to their surroundings. As the sisters grew up, they each learned about the cosmos and mastered their celestial powers in their own individual manners: Maer'wok was best at creating moons to orbit her sister's and Amaggadon's planets, Priscillus was best at creating planets, just as her father was, Elliot mastered the art of natural elements and creating life on planets, and Skylar, well, Skylar was a disappointing outcome.

During their teachings, all her sisters taunted and bullied Skylar because of her smaller appearance, and her slower ways of learning new material. Instead of assisting her, Amaggadon simply put all his focus in those who took his teachings to heart and learned faster than the others. This left Skylar alone, bullied by her family, and left to learn how to create on her own.

During the peak of their adolescent years, Maer'wok, Priscillus, and Elliot all began creating without stopping. Everyday was a new moon, a new planet, a new lifeform, with no end in sight. Amaggadon, too focused on his pride, did not pay attention to this, even though he knew extended creation would end in cataclysm. And so cataclysm did occur. Skylar watched as all her sisters weeped once their creations were sucked into a black hole, never to return again. As she watched, she burned with a feeling of joy after seeing her sisters go through the pain she had gone through all her life. During this sensation, she ascended into a celestial phoenix, and created a planet of her own: the biggest and most beautiful to ever had been created. Even after doing so, her sisters and Amaggadon continued to ignore her, always calling her planet "a far land," because they continued to create planets although far from hers. A master of all celestial magic, Skylar continued to perfect her planet, and when needing a name, she reclaimed her taunting as her own, calling the planet "Fahrlend."

(Game Announcement) SkyWars: True Shot, Now in Development!

Hello, everyone! This is the Minecraft Team speaking from JdotGames, informing you about a new Minecraft map that is being developed: **SkyWars: True Shot.** In this thread, we hope to introduce you to this fresh take on the SkyWars minigame, update you on our progress, and hopefully get you excited for its release. Enjoy!

## SkyWars: True Shot

### Redefining the SkyWars Genre

That was our goal when starting development of this game. We wanted to create a new way of playing a quick, action-packed game mode. Here's how we did it:

#### Ranged Only

In SkyWars: True Shot, one must rely on their bow skills and aiming in order to achieve success. There are no main melee weapons in the game, only bows and ranged weapons!

#### Adventure Mode

The game is in adventure mode, meaning it requires more skill in platforming than ever before! There is no way to break or build blocks anywhere, so practice your parkour!

#### Chest Items

Instead of enchanting materials, food, and building blocks in chests, chests contain different types of arrows for you to use. Bows have infinity, meaning once you find a new arrow type, get rid of the old one to switch!

Keep an eye out for special chests with potions and other unique items!

#### Kits

We've made special kits to create new ways of playing the game each and every time!

### Totally Vanilla!

The game is entirely made in vanilla minecraft. While this is great for players who are not used to installing plugins and such, it does mean that good communication is required in order for the game to function properly.

## Current Progress Update

The game just went under its first BETA test run, including all kits and one playable map. BETA testing brought about a bunch of things we want to fix about the game before we begin adding in the rest of our maps, so please give us time to adequately prepare for a public release.

We have scheduled a second BETA test at the beginning of next week, and are expecting the game to be fully released for the public on June 1, 2020. Keep an eye out for updates and previews!

Todor Kael'ton, the Greedy Merchant

Todor Kael'ton, the Greedy Merchant, is a fighter/skirmisher character in War of Champions. He has high early game tankiness and can provide his team with permanent buffs to their equipment.

## Lore

Todor was a traveling merchant who was once summoned to Blackstone Keep. There, he found out that he was tricked into being corrupted by stone by Kila, the ruler of Blackstone. Bargaining, Todor agreed to find the Dragon's Pendant to control Skethei, the dragon that came to unleash its wrath on Blackstone every 100 years. Kila wished to use this in order to overthrow Hagg. On his journey, Todor reached the Solemn Tree, which told him to travel to the Firelands Portal and take the Dragon's Pendant for his own, which he did, ascending him to greatness. Once he returned to Blackstone, he stole Kila's Flame Pauldrons, stripping him of his power. When Skethei returned to Blackstone, instead of controlling the dragon to overthrow Hagg, he instead used it to improve the economy of the region.

Official State of the Game Report (War of Champions)

**A Quick TLDR on State of the Game Reports:**

The intent of State of the Game Reports (SGRs) are to provide the player base with useful information on many different aspects of the game, so that balance changes are never seen as abrupt or without thought. Basically, I don't want to nerf your favorite character if I don't have to, but if I do have to, then at least we both will be aware that a nerf is likely to come. The bulk of SGRs are statistics that come from developer BETA-testing or developer monitored gameplay. SGRs are updated frequently, and are always posted in the SGR Updates section on the home page when they do so.

**The last date this SGR was updated was Thursday, January 13, 2022.**

* A presence increase of generally supportive characters
* Characters that require a lot of income to operate will be played alongside engage characters who can help them secure kills early game to put them ahead
* Meta becomes Ranged + Support + Safe Jungle
