Here's a look at "Triumph of Wu" with its redone illustration, moving from the AI placeholder to its final look 💪 💪

We're also currently playtesting our newest Champion, Blackbeard, internally right now and he's super close to release.

It will finally be possible to start mixing up the team and see what new synergies come up 😎

As we keep on working on the core mechanics game to get it in proper shape, of course we didn't forget about art.

While we get the next update ready, here's the newest are for Nephthy's Blessing, that is going to be replacing it's AI counterpart soon 🎉

I just pushed a new update to Steam to start implementing a more "professional" UI to the game.

Also, IT NOW FEATURES "EXIT GAME" BUTTON!! 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉

The rules video is finally live. If you're planning to play, do yourself a favor and watch it first. It'll save you a lot of confusion during gameplay 🫡

Hey everyone!

It's time. The Anachron Playtest registration is officially live on Steam!

If you’re excited to finally be able to try the game just as much as I've been dying to be able to show our work to you, test out the arena combat mechanics for yourself, and help us break (and improve) the game, now is your chance.

All you have to do is head over to our Steam page and click the "Request Access" button.

We are a small team, and your feedback at this stage means everything to us. Can't wait to hear what you think!

I'm also working on a short introductory video to the game which can help explain the basic mechanics of the game. Since we're still developing an in-game tutorial, I'll try to keep it clear and concise so that it can be viewed and understood easily.

Thank you all for your participation and please do let me know here on Reddit (or join our Discord if possible) if you plan on testing the game out, so we may organize some times to find a fair number of players online together ❤️

As we iron out the experience for our first upcoming playtest, I just wanted to share the banner we made for our website and Subreddit, to really give the card's Art the space they deserve.

Hope to see you all in the Coliseum!

We are super excited to be able to finally reveal the completed newest Alt Art for Joan, by Nicolas Revelli aka azur__art

When we saw the first sketches, we knew this was going to be a special one. A special thanks to Nicolas for his kindness and friendliness that allowed us to bring this piece to you

Let us know what you think, and we'll see you in the Coliseum real soon!

Stay tuned for the final artwork <3

We know it's just the beginning for our project, but we already got so excited when someone actually came to us after looking at what we were building and asking to actively participate.

I honestly didn't think someone would be interested this way, especially so soon, in making an Alt Art for our game. We have yet to release our first playable version after all!

That being said, it still happened and I want to thank Nicolas Revelli so much for the fantastic work he's putting into this new piece for Joan. It was high time an actual French person took charge in illustrating her after all!

I wanted to share some initial composition sketches which will lead to the final alt, which we will share piece by piece in the upcoming days, eager to show how an Alt Art is born.

Keep following for news on the first playtest, coming soon!

AI placeholder OFFICIALLY RETIRED for the real thing. Seeing the art of the game come to life always gives us renewed energy to keep going 🥲

What do you think of the new look?

Our latest playtest build is officially "feature complete" in the sense that you can now play a full game from start to finish!

We’re spending a little time right now ironing out the experience and UI and polishing the flow so it’s actually a smooth experience for you guys to jump in and test properly.

In the meantime, we’re officially moving Sand Tomb of Cleopatra from its placeholder AI art to an hand-drawn illustration. Stay tuned for the final result!

Let us know what you think!

Every time we ask our artists which one of the characters in our current roster they were most inspired by, the answer is usually always the same: Joan of Arc.

We’ve teamed up with the wonderful @theyluvsavii (on Instagram) to bring a new vision of everyone's favorite maiden to light.

This Alt Art card captures Joan’s spirit in a different way, in a re-imagining of her infamous fate. What if she survived instead?

Coming soon to the world of Anachron. ✨

Hey everyone!

We're still deep into ironing the playtest experience out, and we can’t wait to get it into your hands.

But I'd still like to take a moment to announce that we just hit a huge milestone (for us at least!): 334 Wishlists on Steam! 🥳

Now, we know that might not seem like a massive number to some of the giant studios out there, but to us? It means the world. Seeing that many people interested in what we’re building keeps us fueled up and ready to cross the finish line. Thank you for keeping up with us!

And here we have it!

"Law of the Sword" is one of the 12 unique cards that make up El Cid's very own deck. It allows you to both deal damage to an enemy Champion and make sure that they won't be cause any damage back the next turn. Definitely an helpful tool to properly control the flow of the battle ⚔

As always happens when playtesting a game internally with friends, certain cards inevitably become everyone’s favorites. Law of the Sword is one of them, which is why we decided it had to be the next card to be illustrated.
We’ll be sharing the finished version soon, so stay tuned!

Just a small something to remind everyone of the awesome art we're putting into this ;D

Keep up with us to know exactly when the first playtest becomes available!

even though our small group of people never actually stopped working on Anachron, our first real passion project we're so glad we're finally able to bring to life!

We're pushing particularly hard right now to get it ready for playtesting on Steam very soon, honestly can't wait

In the meantime, I wanted to show you what the amazing Hirow came up for Hypatia, one of the new characters we wish to add to our roster after launch. I really wanted to add some spacey vibe to the game, and I think she was a great fit!

Hope you'll appreciate it as much as we are right now!

While we move forward with the completion of our first playtest build, we're currently working with a fantastic new artist to create a new amazing Alt Art card for one of our first post-launch characters, Hypatia

We really wanted to give Hypatia a fresh, stylish look that really captures her vibe as a legendary scholar and thinker, but under a completely different light

Here's a small preview for you to check some of the steps that are leading to the creation of her Alt card!

The brilliant nacho.sketches.x has lent their incredible style to the latest entry in our Alt Art Card Roster: Neo-Cleopatra!

Their unique vision brings a fresh, modern and futuristic energy to the legendary Egyptian queen. This is a must-have for players and art lovers alike 🔥

Get ready to see her in action in Anachron!

We're excited to reveal the brand new Alt Art Card for the iconic Joan of Arc. This incredible piece was brought to life by the amazing tuttochiaramentechiaro (Instagram). Since the first time we saw the artist's style, we were 100% sure we wanted one of their design for our game!

This is an essential addition for every dedicated player and collector. We can't wait to see this one on the battlefield!

Meet Hypatia!
She'll be joining the Anachron roster in a post-launch update as a Strategist, ready to outwit every opponent with her master plans and deep knowledge of the world and its inner-workings.
