One of our heroscapers came across a great find. The portfolio of one Josh Reeves on coroflot.com It turns out Josh Reeves has done some work for Hasbro on Heroscape character concept design.





Bravo Mr. Reeves, it looks like you had a great big hand in some of my favorite new character designs.

Aquilla and Ticalla Confirmed

Today I received an email from Paul Barclay detailing the release plans for the Aquilla's Alliance and Ticalla Jungle expansion packs.



Paul writes:
Yes, we’re releasing the Ticalla Jungle pack and the Aquilla’s Alliance pack. It took a while, but we finally convinced our finance department that releasing the Jungle and large figures pack was a good idea, and actually would make us money. They’d been worried about the profitability for a while, but after much running of numbers, everyone’s finally sure this is the correct thing to do. Since we’re spending our effort (and shelf space) getting this product out, so we won’t be doing the Desert pack at this time. But, stay tuned for other developments in that direction.

Ticalla Jungle and Aquilla’s Alliance are going to come out before GenCon (we still don’t have an exact date, but we’ll know more as we get closer). ...

Heroes and Jungle may be Back in the Mix!

For the past couple of months Wizards has hinted that they were unsure that the large hero and jungle terrain pack, that were both previewed at GenCon '07, would be released as originally planned.



As heroscapers.com has come understand it, the reason for the lack of surety in these upcoming releases is that some of the retail stores that carry Heroscape are unhappy with how the large hero/terrain packs have sold in the past and opted to quit carrying them.

We believe that this dissatisfaction by retailers stems from the fact that when boxes of large heroes and terrain were sent out to stores they were always packaged with two hero packs to every one terrain pack. Many fans purchase only one hero pack, whereas they purchase multiples of the terrain packs. This leads to lopsided sales and a lot of left-over large hero packs on shelves.

Wizards.com gives Heroscapers a nod

There is an article on wizards.com (the official Wizards of the Coast website) that details some of the going ons in the wizards game world. Heroscape gets a mention as does heroscapers.com. Wizards links right over to us in there article, expressing that we are a good place to come for heroscape information. No longer are we the lovable but ugly step child that gets hidden away from formal company. Wizards is putting us out in the spotlight, directing fans towards us.

Heroscapers remain hopeful as Wizards does some really cool things like having their staff members show up on the forums, requesting our input on the game, and now recognizing us on the official site.

We all still look forward to seeing how Wizards handles product releases. Heroscapers has brought you news of some possible terrain releases that have met with mixed reaction, but the fact that we are getting news at all, is something to be positive about. Keep checking back here for the latest....

Q & A with Wizards of the Coast

Posted February 14th, 2008 at 08:43 PM by truth
Updated April 14th, 2008 at 02:57 PM by truth
If you have not been following along on our forums you have missed a great deal of Heroscape News.* Wizards of the Coast representative - Paul Barclay has been answering questions posed to him by the community of heroscapers gathered here.* We have compiled these questions and Paul's answers to them.* I now bring the results of that ongoing Q & A session here to the front page.

Design Questions:

Is the design team staying on HS?
WotC: Yes, kind of. There's been some shifting of responsibilities. The Heroscape playtester team have been given more responsibility for design and development of the sets. They've done a stellar job over the last 5 sets, and we're expecting them to do even better over the next 5 and beyond. Craig is working with them and with the R&D lead here at Wizards (Henry Stern, designer of Vegas Showdown) to keep everything running smoothly.

Will CVN play any role in future design/development? If so what specific role? ...
