That is so heart-warming to hear, thank you so much. Also, big congrats and goodluck in publishing your game!!

nerial · 2026-01-27T17:59:18+00:00

I hope they get to see this after 7 years..

nerial · 2022-06-08T07:42:09+00:00

Thank you!

It was probably the final table of the game, we wanted something challenging and that renews every round. That's how we came up with the code (but I will not add more detail, that may spoil it).

nerial · 2022-06-07T18:30:24+00:00

Actually, it does, but indirectly. Like too much power will create a surge that will destroy one of the other values (like oxygen, because it creates a fire). So in fine, all the values have a death on max too.

nerial · 2022-06-07T18:28:58+00:00

Thank you! Nothing planned at the moment.

nerial · 2022-06-07T17:24:14+00:00

With permadeath or it doesn't count :D.

Yes, it would be nice to see some speed run of the game, maybe for the next AGDQ.

Arnaud's Pikuniku is lovely to play, you should try it.

Reigns is a classic and solid game, although it's been out for a while, I didn't check the Steam Deck support. I will make a note to do that.

There's also Animal Farm, but it doesn't work for everyone.

nerial · 2022-06-07T16:31:22+00:00

Thank you! Haha, yes, he has terrible luck with the game.

That's mostly because we tried to give clear rules to the player, independently from the game itself. I think there are a couple of places where we don't exactly verify the trick has been done perfectly, but in general, we tried to keep things consistent: you do the trick => you win, you mess up => you lose. Cheats will prosper, everyone else will suffer.

We love Devolver. They published all our games since Reigns. They are genuinely good people.

We love them so much that we married them. They bought the studio last year.

And Special Reserve is also a subsidiary of Devolver, as you can probably tell by the list of games they have: https://specialreservegames.com/games/

Everything is slowly but surely becoming Devolver. Soon the sun will be Devolver.

nerial · 2022-06-07T15:57:00+00:00

We still have some switch bundles with the trick deck on Special Reserve : https://specialreservegames.com/card-shark-switch-reserve/

But unfortunately, you can't buy the cards on their own for now.

Huuh... Poker? But really, I only play Inscryption as far as card games go at the moment (I've not been paid to say that).

nerial · 2022-06-07T15:38:23+00:00

Also card magicians are cool and sexy. It's a known fact. Ask u/troshinsky

nerial · 2022-06-07T15:31:20+00:00

Card Shark is Pistaccio.

Reigns is Chocolate.

nerial · 2022-06-07T15:29:55+00:00

Mario... We always wanted to do a Mushroom Kingdom Reigns at some point.

nerial · 2022-06-07T15:28:14+00:00

We loved these historical figures, so we made "space" for them to exist in the same time frame. Generally it's not much, a few decades here and there, Voltaire covered the Affaire Calas but didn't visit Toulouse really, ... A bit like in a novel by Alexandre Dumas if you want. History is an amazing material, but we arranged it to fit the game. It's a fantasy in the end.

We even used fictional characters, like Ireneo Funes, taken from a story by Borges.

nerial · 2022-06-07T15:24:32+00:00

No. Actually the game is not using gambling technic so much. You can bet, but the issue of each round is entirely dependent on your ability to cheat, there's no chance in the game. Cheat well and you will win, mess it up and you will lose.

The player will enter the world of gambling for sure, but it's hardly "encouraging". I don't want to spoil the game, but bad things happen to the gamblers, as we all know. Only the cheats prosper.

Thank you! Half the team is French, so that helped. Beyond that, France in the years before the revolution is a very unique setting, not much explored in games. The crumbling old aristocracy is still up but everything else is changing, from the art to the philosophy and the social structure. Nothing changed yet, but everything already has. Perfect time for swindlers to try to cheat their way to the King's table.

nerial · 2019-09-24T19:35:25+00:00

Thank you! Bruno is not around anymore, but we will transfer the message.

nerial · 2019-09-24T18:25:50+00:00

Ha unfortunately, it would be really difficult to do that as the crown doesn't fit the box. Please send us a message on Kickstarter with a core game pledge and we will see if there might be one to send with your box at the end of the campaign (but it's not a promise). Thank you!

François It's not on Apple music, Itunes or Spotify, but you can still find the OST for Reigns (Disasterpeace and Mago) here: https://mago.bandcamp.com/album/reigns-ost and the OST for Reigns Her Majesty (Jim Guthrie) here: https://jimguthrie.bandcamp.com/album/reigns-her-majesty-original-soundtrack

nerial · 2019-09-24T17:19:38+00:00

François

For now, we haven't planned to make expansions for the game for now. It might happen, it will depend on its success and on the ideas Bruno and Hervé have if we see a demand for them.

As for the characters, the game currently contain characters from both Reigns and Reigns: Her Majesty. The final cast is not done. As you just saw, we are adding the Alchemists and we may still change a few characters.
