I'm proud to announce the new gameplay trailer for Athelan. A lot of hard work has been put in making this game a reality. With a team of 2 and an incredibly small budget, we achieved more than I ever thought possible.

Athelan is a free-to-play competitive turn-based tactics game meant for players who enjoy a steep learning curve and the pursuit of skill. Join us for the demo release on January 17th 2026 and witness a new era of tactics mixing the complexity of chess and unique champion designs inspired by one of the greatest competitive games; League of Legends. Create your own teams and dominate the arena!

My tactics game finally broke 3k wishlists just in time for my appearance at the @Mtlcomiccon! HUGE thanks to the players who've kept me motivated and have participated in the tournaments! It is NOT easy to find an audience for a game this hard so I really value every player.

@hmennen90 I'm a game producer with my day job. Whole reason I started to make indie games is because I hated how it was done at a corporate level.

[Athelan Battlegrounds @AthelanGaming]

@Chavenham Awesome. Please let me know what you think!

@mrcaleidon I'm right there with you with a turn-based tactics...Honestly at this point I'm running on hopes & dreams, not sound decisions. Think of it like this: Is the money you're investing in this project something you're ready to lose? If so, then go for it. If not, stop now.

@IndieWithMatheo We'd love to be featured! It's so hard to find an audience for games that are more old school like ours. A very complex turn-based tactics: https://t.co/M5psp7TUBr

@dyrkabes Honestly I just kind of forget that social media exists or cringe at the thought of posting something. It probably contributes to my low followers :(

@igdmag Yep! Us right here. I'm even baffled. The few players that find us are super fans, but it feels like 2026 isn't a year that favors turn-based tactics :(
