DragonScales: Drawing the Sacred Axe item

Our newest game, DragonScales: Chambers of The Dragon Whisperer, is the first title of ours which does not use cartoon graphics. The art of DragonScales meant a lot of work, as we had to create more realistic characters and backgrounds, within a fantasy setting. For instance, here are the steps followed to create the Axe used in-game for the Sacred Axe item which destroys a column of scales on the board.

This Sacred Axe, of course, was designed by XKlibur, our lead artist and IKIGames’ mastermind. Hope you liked it!

Dragons and Nagi on Linux

These days we’ve been almost completely devoted to the launch of our new game, DragonScales: Chambers of The Dragon Whisperer. It’s a new tile-matching game, in which you play scales on a board in order to form combinations. Novel, fun, relaxed, and great for brain-fitness sessions and lovers of casual games. It’s available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

 

Our previous game, NagiQ 2: Treasure Hunt, was initially available for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. NagiQ 2 is an original and challenging word game, based on combining words on a board to collect coins, punch evil skulls, explode monsters, trim mustaches and defeat an evil pirate.

However, a few days after releasing NagiQ 2 we received emails from several customers asking for a version of NagiQ 2 for Linux. We promised a version would be eventually released, but time went by, and we were overtaken by DragonScales’ specifics and technicalities, meaning that NagiQ 2 for Linux had to be postponed. Until today.

Today we’re happy to announce that we’re also releasing both DragonScales and NagiQ 2 for Linux. You can purchase them here:

A promise fulfilled 🙂
