This is my first blog post on 64digits, I joined this site so I could participate in the Scary Game competition.

The game I am creating for the competition is called Witch War (working title). The game play will be familiar to those who play Magic the Gathering. I am modeling it after the Duels of the Planeswalker game (not the new version, but the version of the game that was released back in 1998). http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/magicthegatheringdotp/index.html

Some of the major difference between my game and Magic the Gathering, is that you don't have a deck of cards. Instead you have a wand that can hold 5 spells. You don't use up a spell, so you can cast it as many times as you want until you run out of magic. And your magic pool is based off of your level instead of playing lands.

Here a couple of screenshots of the game so far.

It has been slow going so far, but I started implementing the AI for the CPU, so hopefully it will start coming together over the next couple of days.
