Thank you very much Mr. Gattis!

Final question: Are there going to be guilds/player organizations in the game? I hope not otherwise the game will be teaming up guilds vs guilds rather than teams vs teams like the CTF in AL.

This is somewhat disappointing. No chat in the matches takes away from the social aspect and slightly inhibits the learning and training of players while in a match. I would
assume it also hinders team play for some.

This should eliminate the majority of trash talking which can be good.

Since the matches will only be 5 mins maybe the chat won't matter as much.

I guess we will have to see.

You are right, it is a balance. No chat in the matches does significantly decrease the abuse and trash talk. And we will see!

Just Friends and Teams

Is there any kind of a single building which you should destroy in order to win, or you should just simply destroy all towers? Or there is no way to end the match before the end of 5-minute term?

**Daniel Santos** · 02-26-2015, 03:04 PM

there will be PC version ?

Yes, each team has a base that when destroyed result in an immediate end to the match.

No, there will not. It would not be fair to the mobile players, and this game is ALL about Mobile Competitive Gaming.

**Transfordark** · 02-26-2015, 03:15 PM

Will there be an offline play mode?
Just curious, I know it is an online game

**wvhills** · 02-26-2015, 03:46 PM

what happens when the 5 minutes is up and no one has won?

There is a scoring system based on Towers destroyed, and if those are tied it falls to who had the most kills, if the number of towers destroyed and the kills are the same I believe it determines winner based on overall damage dealt per team.

It's still "online" I believe (JustG can correct me if I'm wrong), but there is a solo mode where you can play with bots for practice without other human players. I've used this personally internally testing to play around with specific characters and get a feel for combos and appropriate play strategies as best one can against AI opponents. Certainly helps build a bit of confidence with your chosen champions before hitting the field of battle!

Alpha in a few weeks, beta after that. I would guess mid-summer.

Hey I know this is a tiny bit off topic... but what is the company's name?

I know a while back it was changed to Spacetime Games, and people still called it Spacetime Studios/STS, but the website is still spacetimestudios.com and on the Call of Champions website, IGN, Tentonhammer, (I think) and other websites reviewing this game, they all call you guys Spacetime Studios

Also, I'm seeing that you guys are letting people at SXSW (I think) play Call of Champions, is that going to be considered the Alpha, or are you going to send invites to people from the STS community?

**Xyzther** · 02-26-2015, 05:49 PM

Interesting... I will probably try this game

Not off topic, we tried a go at Spacetime Games when we were considering publishing external titles. It turns out that is a tough business too!

Spacetime Studios better fits who we are, so we're officially back to that. But we'll answer to either

SXSW is still pre-alpha. We'll send out invites some time after the show.

**Jhawkeye** · 02-26-2015, 07:40 PM

What do we have to do to be on the receiving end of those invites? Old time players? Or players who spend their lives in game? Cuz I'm both

**MercherofPL** · 02-26-2015, 09:02 PM

Sounds intresting, me being a big fan of MOBA games in general, I will give this one a shot.

**Waug** · 02-26-2015, 11:48 PM

I was reading all of this, and noticed HOW sts learned from past, I mean from the older games and what people criticized over time, so ofc I think this gonna be an well polished game.

BTW, who'll be able to play alpha version?
