12/29/2024 - Ignited in 2025.

Hello all, 

By the time this is posted it will be my birthday, but my birthday this year comes with some unexpected upheavals.

Due to some complications with my family I now do not have a permanent place of residence-- don't worry, I am perfectly safe and have a place to stay for the time being, and I have been offered a few opportunities to move elsewhere if need be.

Because of this development, Updates on Ignited may slow down significantly. This will admittedly be a challenging time for me, but with everyone's support, I believe I can recover from this setback without needing to take a hiatus from Ignited.

I have discussed some ways to raise funds with a few people which could help out, and I will be exploring other sources of income as well but for now, this is to inform everyone of the situation of Ignited moving forward. 

As for what actually comes next, well:

1. Work on the API will be started, expect prototypes and testing within the  first half of the year.
2. The Rulebook and the GM's Guide will be pushed towards a more finalized form, fit for a proper release, and
3. The Abilities list will be revisited to add more support and balances for and against other playstyles (ie Artifacts, Enchantments, and Creatures).
   1. In addition to this, I have plans to revisit and potentially rework Commands as well.

And if I manage to find the time:

• A few additional documents are in the works, namely a Creature Compendium and an expansion book, which will offload some of the existing Archetypes into it, among other things.
• I have plans to re-conduct the GM's workshop, and perhaps create a new, Planeswalker's Workshop-- intended towards new players.

In the meantime, I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their year. I'll see you all again soon, and thank you all so much for supporting Ignited this year, it means the world to me.

Warm Regards,

Madness
