Seven Houses vie to control the Land. You have joined a House, and now you must begin the journey. The first House to control 7 Castles shall be declared the winner.
Seven Thrones is the brainchild of Zorbaz Englander, an indie board game and video game developer getting his start with his first major public project. Along with long time friend Jeremy Hofer (Fuego), the two of us are working together to make this game a reality.
The aim of the game is simple - take control of the kingdom, securing control for your House. However, this is no easy feat and 6 other Houses have the same goal. You must make friends, and enemies, within your own House and with other Houses in order to have a chance to take control!
Currently the game is played on a Discord server, managed by the Guardian of the Realm (the bot whose source is seen in this repo)! Long term we will be developing a full desktop version of the game, but for now the bot has allowed us to grow interest and test game functionality.
Please come check everything out, play, and get to know us and the others in the community!
You may join the Discord here: Seven Thrones
This repo contains the source code for the bot we have developed to manage and run Seven Thrones on our Discord server. We're quite proud of the work we have put in and wanted to share the repo to:
- market the game and ourselves
- provide the open source community with an example of a game that can be made and ran in Discord and managed by a Discord bot
As of now actual developers on the bot for the game are limited to Zorbaz and Fuego. However, we are always looking for people to come and play and test the game, and provide feedback! Likewise issues should be reported on the Discord server.
Regarding the code - the source code here is very specific to being executing in our Discord server currently. There are plans to update the source to be more flexible and allow for new instances to be spun up and ran on other Discord servers whenever people who fork the code may desire. However, this is not a chief development goal so work towards this is ad-hoc and as the improvements make sense for our current development.
