![]() ![]() Todd Kenreck: Is there a character class you gravitate towards yourself?Įric Jordan: Dungeon Master. For me, the fit that made a lot of sense, just as for me as a player has been, how do I kind of touch the thin edge of the wedge of D&D that can go into all these other things and then kind of come out of that really quickly. I really wanted that ability to sort of touch into this world and interact with these characters but do it in a sort of a bite-sized way and then go back into all these other pieces that I have. I was also working and for my work, I was doing travel and stuff like that and so I'd be kind of wanting to enter into this space of interacting with the D&D world but I didn't … I always DM.Įric Jordan: I didn't want to kind of like be planning a mission or a game at that point but I also didn't want to be reading a novel and I wanted to find kind of an in-between space that I could be interacting with that world and so then, fast forward to coming to run a code game and I was doing Idle games and me thinking about like, “Oh, yeah. My kids had just hit the age where you could start playing with your kids which is just like such a lovely time and so, we were playing a huge amount of fourth edition because fourth edition sort of just come out. When I was playing a lot of fourth edition, I wasn't working in the games industry. What's been interesting about Idle clickers is a lot of people tend to think of them as these casual experiences because when they see them and they go, “Oh, you mean I don't have to be doing twitch reflexes so it must be a pretty casual thing,” but what really draws people into those games is like the amount of depth in terms of the systems and all of the management decisions that you're making and it's really choosing the most optimal management decisions that become the really interesting part of those games.Įric Jordan: I've been playing D&D since I was like 12 years old, so I mean I just I absolutely love D&D and I've loved it for a bazillion years. Let’s say time travel is invented, you fast forward 100 years in the future and then you load up your Steam account because of course, Steam will still be there a hundred years in the future and you check in and you will have amassed a large amount of gold. Todd Kenreck: What happens if you don't check in?Įric Jordan: They just keep going. When you come back, you'll sort of see where you are in terms of like, “I was able to progress to area 100 finally and I've been trying to do this round and finally, I got to area 100.” You'll sort of see that. There's also a boss fight so you end up going through and so each of the characters, you unlock ultimates for those that have cooldowns and so you'll go use all those cooldowns in order to actually beat the boss and move on to the next area. Our game has formation strategy and so, a big part of the meta of the game is where do I put my characters relative to other characters in order to maximize my ability to progress in the game?Įric Jordan: You see how far they progress, what quests they've done for you and then, you do all of the active action of leveling them up and getting their upgrades and you'll see what upgrades they've got. What you're focusing on is managing those characters, so when are you leveling them up, and in particular, where are you placing them. A whole bunch of content, so new content comes out regularly in the game so there will be two of annihilation content plus other storyline content and a bunch of new characters.Įric Jordan: The focus of Idle clicker is that you are recruiting characters, you're placing the characters down, your characters are actually like killing the bad guys and completing the quest so you're not doing that piece. There will be lots of more characters coming out, a whole cadence of characters planned out. All five of those characters are also in the game. The base set of characters that you'll have, the champions, there are sort of older characters like Bruenor all the way through to the new season of Force Grey. It's a little bit more like Lords of Waterdeep where you're like recruiting all of these different characters and they'll go complete quests for you and get you more powerful. In Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, what you do is you manage a whole group of champions, so it's not like you're playing an MMO where you're like one character. We talked to the game's creator about what we can expect and also why he loves D&D.Įric Jordan: Idle clickers is a genre. Idle Champions is a brand new clicker game set in the D&D universe. ![]() 'Idle Champions' Creator on Clickers, D&D and Dungeon Mastering Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures ![]()
