TCG Interview #97: Ignaris

 

I spoke with the creator of Ignaris, here are his answers to my questions!

Q: Please describe your trading card game!
A: Ignaris is a creature-battler combat game with wild aliens and monsters divided up in 3 Entity classes: Warriors, Beasts and Lords!

Q: What inspired you to create your own TCG?
A: Funny story, I've always been passionate about having my artwork on display and I actually made some artwork for a TCG creator around 5 years ago but it never released.So I took matters into my own hands and decided to make my own tcg!!

Q: What TCGs did you grow up playing as a kid?
A: Pokemon was a big one. And Bakugan!

Q: What sets Ignaris apart from other TCGs?
A: Ignaris has unique artwork, and cool card mechanics! Ignaris is all about balance, all Entity classes in your deck must work together to defeat your opponent!

Q: How did you come up with the name Ignaris?
A: I knew I wanted it to be a creature combat game taking place on an alien planet so I was playing around with cool sounding planet names such as "Agnar" or "Agnaris". My friend mentioned the word "Ignis" was latin for fire and I thought that fit the theme of ferocity and combat on the planet. So I then settled on "Ignaris". Also because it sounds cool :)

Q: How long have you been working on the game?
A: I started back around the middle of 2023 so it's been around a year and a half :)

Q: What is the illustration/design process like?
A: I do my illustrations on Photoshop with an ipad. I usually start with doodling a wacky alien from my mind and then I refine it a little and add some colouring. The art style is very sketchy and gritty so I like to scribble on the details and then erase the parts I don't need. Also because it takes a bit less time and I'm lazy haha.

Q: When will the game officially be released?
A: Early Release limited booster packs have now been released on September 10th, 2024! The full Set 1 booster packs will be coming very soon, around 1 more month, but I have no official release date yet!

Q: What are your future plans for Ignaris?
A: I'm definitely planning on releasing more sets for the future with cooler cards and effects. I don't have anything huge planned but I will continue to sell on The Game Crafter!

Q: Will you be at any upcoming conventions?
A: Not this year, but hopefully in the future!

Q: Do you have any advice for someone looking to make their own TCG?
A: I'm still new to the tcg community so I'm still learning! But I'd say don't be afraid to pause for a bit if you are feeling burnt out!

TCG Interview #74: Ward

I spoke to the creators of WARD! Here are their answers to my questions:  Q: Please describe your trading card game! A: Ward is a trading card game that blends aspects from other popular TCGs like Pokemon, Yugioh, and Magic: The Gathering, but adds a Dungeons and Dragons style, dice rolling, battle system. We then simplified all aspects/systems so anyone can learn how to play with ease. Q: What inspired you to create your own TCG? A: Ward was inspired by creator Joe Casey when he decided to buy a few packs of a new card game (We will not say which). He had always loved card games of any type, Pokemon, Yugioh, Magic, Cribbage, Poker, and so many more. He brought the packs home, opened them up and read the rules in order to play it. For several hours, he and another future Ward associate, could not figure out the rules or general layout of playing the game. YouTube videos did not explain it well either. Eventually, they gave up and moved on. The idea for Ward was not created on this ...
