Mojang reveals its next game: Scrolls

[DeltaBurnt]

Scrolls is Mojang's next game and offers a new and unique game play where you fight to outmaneuver your opponent on the battlefield using the destructive powers in your collection of magical scrolls. Tear your opponent limb from limb with the might of your summoned armies, lay waste to the defenses with the obliterating power of your siege weapons or open up the very skies and let bolts of lightning shower his minions until only ash remains. The road to victory is yours to choose. Obtain the powerful scrolls and decide which ones you will take to battle as you fight to become the mightiest Magician of all.

There is no gameplay screenshots included. There's also a email subscription and alpha testing signup form. Furthermore, Notch has been mentioning this "second project", which we now know is Scrolls, is being mainly worked on by someone other than Notch (can't remember his name).

Nah, they won't. Minecraft prints money.

Huh. I don't think I'll be interested. It does seem sort of like an interesting concept.

Not a very appealing one though. But it's probably only me.

I only skimmed the webpage, there could be more to the game.

I wonder how much money notch needed to throw around to get that domain.....

And I'm liking Mojang as a game studio...they have some neat ideas....

(site not working....as expected.....notch really needs better servers)

I couldn't get it to load so I checked their blog and there was nothing about it. I'll make sure to check it out later.

Did you see if it would be a free game?

 

[Slyakin]

Urgh, I really want to see what the website looks like.

I saw the news on Reddit, and I saw the website myself and signed up. Apparently Mojang only revealed Scrolls at GDC today.

EDIT: Here's a screenshot before it crashed:

They kept mentioning it in a documentary I watched on GameTrailers. Hopefully fans won't be stubborn and say it's not important in comparison to minecraft
