Magnate: Taryn & Caitlyn Final Art

Hi all!

The last post for August comes in the form of beautiful art by Henry Lidstone. This is Taryn and Caitlyn's final design.

This weekend's update will include some more details on one of the many features in Magnate laid out in the FAQ and "About Magnate" pages. Please tune in then as well :)

Magnate: Nav Bar and more!

Hi all,

This weekly update has a lot of content to get through.

First off, you'll notice that a Navigation Bar has been added to the left side. Included in this little gizmo is a little blurb "About Us", which contains the first post with all the team members and a little description of Dominion Arts Studio. The bio's are still considered placeholder and will have portraits and the like added as we get them.

Also in this pretty bar is a write-up of Magnate in the "About Magnate" section. Here you'll be able to learn a little more about what we are trying to accomplish with this title and what you can expect to do and experience when  you play the game!

And finally, there is a FAQ up that should answer any questions you may have which concerns Magnate. If it doesn't answer your questions, please feel free to email me at timothy.kiem at gmail.com :)

And I leave you today with a little art gift. This is a Press Start screen mock-up with David Kuo's wonderful art.

So pretty!

And that is the update for this week. I hope you enjoyed your visit and do come back and spread the word! And from the DAS team, your support means the world to us! :)

Magnate: Main Supporting Cast Part 1

Hello again to our weekly update!

This week, we welcome Taryn Wrenlin and Caitlyn with a brief biography as well as some emotional shots and colour tests. Let's get right to it!

Taryn Shocked!

Name:  Taryn Wrenlin

Age:  35

Rank:  Former Captain

Class:  Ninja

Taryn Thinking

Taryn Wrenlin arrived abruptly on the mercenary scene with a pair of toddlers on her hip and a sword in her hand.  Leading a band of incredibly skilled men who seemed almost fanatically devoted to her, she proved to the skeptical public that a mother of two can – and will – be a perfectly capable mercenary and leader.  She is known to be very picky about what jobs she will take and will often research them thoroughly before agreeing to any contract. 

Not much is known about Taryn’s early life; she and her followers are incredibly closed-mouthed about it.  What is known is that she had twins at the age of nineteen and seemingly decided to take up the life of a mercenary in the same year.  

Taryn Angry

At the age of thirty-five, Taryn announced that she would be stepping down from the position of Captain in favor of her son, Aiden.  She has plans to settle within a territory granted to her by the King of Procella on the far eastern coast.

Caitlyn Shocked!

Name:  Caitlyn

Age:  19

Rank:  General

Class:  Rogue

Caitlyn Thinking

Caitlyn doesn't know much of her early childhood days, only images and vague emotions fill that part of her life. Not the type to dwell on the past, she has spent the last 15 years in the Wrenlin family. Taryn is not only her captain but also her mentor on all things mother to daughter. She treats Aiden like the little brother she never had and though she's older than Kira, in her little world, Kira's the nagging older sibling she never wanted.

At a very young age, Taryn took her under her wing to follow in the family business of the shadows when neither of her siblings showed aptitude or interest in the cloak and daggers. As though she was born with the tradition etched in her bones, she soaked up all that Taryn had to teach with ease and quickly raised in mercenary ranks to become a respected general.

Caitlyn Angry

When she's not out scouting the path ahead, she's teasing Aiden or stealthily trying to avoid Kira with little success. On a good day, she's by Taryn's side like a shadow absorbing all her wisdom, enjoying her gentle warmth.

Two of the main supporting actors in this large cast, Taryn and Caitlyn both play vital roles in the story and also have side quests dedicated to exploring their history and character.

Next week, we continue to reveal more supporting casts to be determined Saturday evening >.<
