MELBOURNE, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, November 8, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Covyne Entertainment is proud to announce the public demo release of Dolven, a tactical RPG and turn-based card deck-builder that combines strategic combat with deck-building mechanics. The theme is a medieval fantasy world with some unlikely characters such as zombies and werewolves. The demo offers players around one and half hours of gameplay.Blending tactical squad-based battles with a “card-combo” system inspired by poker, Dolven introduces players to strategic encounters where every decision matters. "We set out to make Dolven as engaging for its narrative as it is for its gameplay,” said Andrew Naish, founder of Covyne Entertainment. “The card mechanics are designed to feel new and exciting, with a pillar system that lets players build hand combos similar to poker. This creates a rich card play experience not seen in other deck builders. Plus, there’s a twist at the end of the demo that will leave players eager for the next dungeon.”
Development Journey
The journey of Dolven has been a story of passion and perseverance. Initially conceived as a multiplayer game, the ambitious scope proved too challenging for a solo developer. After a year, founder Andrew Naish scrapped the multi player version and refocused efforts on a single-player game, which has now been in development for over two years. The alpha gameplay demo debuted at PAX Melbourne 2023, generating significant interest.
Since PAX, Dolven has grown into a collaborative effort. Mike Roberts, founder of The Kids From Yesterday creative studio, and Trent Eumen, a recent Swinburne University graduate who connected with Naish at PAX, have joined the project. Additionally, Brionne Naish, Andrew's wife and the studio’s creative director, plays a key role in marketing and event planning and leads the development of Covyne’s upcoming board game and the suspenseful FPS survival horror game, Maralinga.
