We’ve set our sights on next year and we’re excited to get started. Here’s a look at some of our early plans, as well as some good old fashioned community news.

The first steps of 2015

The launch was fun, but we’re hitting the ground running as soon as the holidays are over. Starting in January, one of the highest priorities will be adapting the application to fit the AppStore so that iPad users get access to Scrolls as soon as possible. Leading up to that should come our first set of paid advertisements to increase awareness of the game. We’re hoping to get a nice secondary explosion from the iOS release.

As for fresh content for existing players – we are looking forward to finally getting new cosmetics to appear in the store. The lack of content in the store is a recognized deficiency, and we’re looking to fix it. It’ll be a great way to give players more ways to set themselves apart from everyone else.



Currently the art assets are roughly 25% complete for the next set of scrolls – Set #7. This means we’ll start implementing the rules/code for set #7 early in the new year. There’s always a new set of scrolls brewing in the background as the rest of the game continues to develop.

There’s also quite a few things that we’re not willing to share yet – but I hope I’ve given you some idea of what you can expect from us as the new year rolls around.

Pre-constructed deck contest

The pre-constructed deck contest we began earlier this week is seeing lots of activity so far. As of writing this post, there are over 90 submissions! Remember, the deadline is January 6th – so you still have plenty of time to show us your ideas. Our judges have a lot of work ahead of them.

Golden Bunny Awards

The Rats & Bunnies guild have put together a set of player-voted “Golden Bunny Awards.” It’s all just for fun, but feel free to vote on who you think deserves imaginary rodent trophies for their contributions or performance in the year of 2014.

Meta report

Dialex has written another great analysis on the current state of the meta in the ranked ladder. You might be asking yourself, what does meta mean? The meta is just a term players use to describe the state of an ever-changing competitive gaming environment and, in Scrolls’ case, the decks and scrolls that players tend to use. It’s one of the most popular things to discuss and speculate on. Imagine a bunch of old Callers in rocking chairs on a porch ranting about how, back in their day, everyone had Pother in their decks. That’s a meta discussion.

Player interviews

Roastedbeanpotion.com has featured quite a few competitive player interviews over the past week. Ever want to know more about Lahopaa, ChiefBromden, GuidoFubini, or DaOvalord? Check the website routinely for more updates like this.

ESL Christmas Cup Grand Finals

Speaking of competitive players, the ESL Christmas Cup Grand Finals kick off this Sunday. It features the top eight players from the previous two ESL tournaments, and stands to be a good show. You can spectate the matches in game or watch them on stream. Speaking of streams, did you know you can see all currently active Scrolls streams by checking in the upper left of scrollsguide.com, or by looking at the reddit sidebar? The more you know.

I hope everyone is having a happy holiday. Stay safe this new year and watch what other people put into your roasted bean potions.
