The Developer Blog - Want to know how we're making Sovranti different? We are excited to invite you into the world of our developers as they create a social first, rules enforced, digital board gaming platform. Every other week we will talk about the specific development challenges and the milestones titles coming to Sovranti. Visit the news feed on our website: https://sovranti.com/news.
Volume 0.1: 5 Challenges of Digital Board Games! - Digitally translating board games is more than copying the art into a game. If you're going to be true to the experience, you'll need to overcome the inherent shortcomings of online environments: Table Layout, Functionality, Player Prompts, Unique Mechanics and Human Interaction.
Volume 0.2: Table Layout - In Sovranti, we hope to create a place where you can see more of yourself in the experience. That starts by creating a space where you, your friends and the game can be represented while still keeping the user interface (UI) unobtrusive and maintaining the fun.
Volume 0.3: Rules Enforcement - Structure allows you to focus on what is fun in the experience with less worry. Rules enforcement for digital board games does three things: Speeds up learning, speeds up play, allows the players to enjoy the game and the other players.
Volume 0.4: Prompts - Player prompts first responsibility is to tell the players what actions they are responsible for doing at any given moment. The most common and essential is "It is your turn!" or "We're waiting" for a certain player's action.
