Announcing "Pixelborn Connect" - a web platform for ranked play.
PBC will attempt to bring some of the most valuable PB features like matchmaking, rank, and stats to webcam play. All you need is a device with a camera.
My goal is to launch it as soon as possible.

As promised, the Pixelborn support for
#Lorcana
was discontinued.
Cheers to all the new friends and connections that were built by it.
Keep playing Lorcana. It is a fantastic game with a bright future.
Unfortunately, Pixelborn Connect will not see daylight.
I was contacted by Disney representatives and advised not to proceed with the project and make it public.
At this point, it is safer to assume that I should not attempt to do anything related to Lorcana. 🥲

I am stunned by all the messages and support. Still can't catch up. Can't express my gratitude.
Please, don't take it on Ravensburger - if someone is to blame - it is me, not them.
Already have an idea how to contribute to the community. Stay tuned
#Lorcana
The most frequently asked question since Pixelborn's launch has been "iPhone when?"
Well... I guess Santa is here early.
More details are coming soon.

Pixelborn Connect (PBC) is now available, and the first game to receive support is Disney Lorcana.
PBC is not a simulator but a way to experience ranked webcam games.
The first ranked season will start in July. Until then, you can enjoy some lab games. I would greatly
And that's a wrap.
All 204 cards from

are on Pixelborn.
Missed all the fun and excitement today but managed to code the remaining 74 cards since the morning.
Enjoy :)

#Pixelborn
Since
#Lorcana
made the change to the rules and allowed non-Lorcana cards to be used to track ink, I had the idea to print Pixelborn cards (backs) and use them.
Turned out pretty good. But I think I ordered way too many xD
Showcasing Pixelborn Connect Mixed Reality with

PB Connect has a huge potential to improve webcam play. You can see a short example in the video below and this is just the first step.
You can go in the PB Discord now and vote for
Pixelborn just hit 100 000 unique users.
And the community is just about to make another big donation making it a total of $25000 to date.
So humbled and excited to be part of all this.
#Lorcana
The amazingly talented
@georgiev_art
started working on "Steamboat Willie Going on an Adventure" before we knew about the Pixelborn shutdown, and it was going to be part of one very nice new feature.
He didn't have to finish it, but he did because he was so passionate about it,
I never thought I would hold any
#Lorcana
d23 card in my hand. It was unthinkable.
Then the amazing Pixelborn community decided to make me a Christmas present and it finally arrived.
No words can describe how humbled and grateful I am.
This community is like no other.
Another huge Pixelborn milestone
- 50000 Discord members which not only keeps it as the largest
#Lorcana
online community but also one of the largest TCG communities
Other TCG Discords:
MTG Arena: 46k
HS: 66k
LoR: 30k
OP TCG: 39k
We also just donated $5000 to Make A Wish
Not sure how many people realize what a gem is
@Thea__Beasty
for the
#Lorcana
community.
Irreplaceable!
4000 people now watching the finals of her $10 000 tournament.
Twitch front page.
Last Pixelborn update for this year (number 65 since May)
Adding a highly requested Spectator mode, as well as shop (soft currency only), profile icons, customizable vfx, plaques...
Time for some family time and playing some games :)
#Lorcana
Ranked Season 2 completed with 34% more games than Season 1 (1.66 million games).
All cards for Season 3 are now available :)
And here are the card backs rewards for season 2.
Enjoy :)
#Lorcana
Today, we decorated the Christmas tree at home, lit up the lights and started cracking our advent calendars (mine is
#Lorcana
packs ofc).
So I decided to bring the Christmas spirit to my other home (
#Pixelborn
) as well.
Hope you like it :)
One day to go, and the top of the Pixelborn Hardcore ladder is hot.
I am sure we are yet to see some shifts. The last hours will be thrilling to watch.
I will be streaming the last 3 hours before the shutdown starting at ~6pm gmt
You can win this week's DLC.
Just make sure that on Sunday night when you look back at the weekend it is full of good memories with nice people. Don't be afraid to say hi. Connect with people-that's all about.
Don't sweat the things you can't change.
See ya at Lille

Someone have sent me a gift box full of these items and now I am speachless. I can't find the words to express how grateful I am.
This
#Lorcana
community never fails to bring tears & smile to my face.
My kids got overexcited - guess we have an advent calendar now(1 pack a day)
So right now, 242 people are participating in a Pixelborn tournament, making it the largest
#Lorcana
tournament to date? (If what I remember is correct - PPG Miami had 237)
Feels special... Hope everyone is having a good time

2 things:
1. The Lorecast was great - exactly what
#Lorcana
deserves. So so happy that community was involved. Loved to see you
@illumiteers
2. God, please this art to be a playmat...
Ursula’s Return is coming soon. Submerse yourself in the next set, which brings Encanto into play. Plus, go on the first Illumineer’s Quest, a thrilling battle played out cooperatively with friends or tackled solo. Available at hobby retailers May 17 and mass retailers May 31.
Lille was an amazing experience - exactly what I expected it to be.
Kudos to
@tournamentcentr
for all the hard work. They flawlessly executed everything that was up to them and treated all staff perfectly.
Not to mention all the small details that not everyone noticed.
#Lorcana
Mailday!
All the swag, soon heading to some lovely people.
Finally got some 4XL T-Shirts for my friends who I plan to chase and send smaller size in the near future.
Pins and MVP pins turned out better than expected

Ranked Season 1 on Pixelborn is over.
1 241 877 played games in 3 months.
Thank you all for participating!
p.s. I am opening a box in a bit - link to stream in comments
#Lorcana
The one thing that
#StarWarsUnlimited
is better than
#Lorcana
is that it is available in my country...
Had fun at the release. Game is solid. FFG redemption arc?
Let's see if the hottest gadget of 2024 can play card games... or at least if I can teach it.
Oh and by the way, with the new version of Pixelborn Connect you can play against friends (custom games)
#Lorcana
I am happy to announce that 2 more games are now available for webcam ranked play on Pixelborn Connect:
#Elestrals
and
#SWU
Now working to add other titles + the mixed reality (to some of the games)
After becoming the fastest player to reach Grand Master,
@Savjz
currently holds first place on both the ranked and hardcore ranked ladders on Pixelborn.
What an achievement.
Everyone going to Atlanta should watch their backs.
#Lorcana
The
#Lorcana
and
#Pixelborn
community continue to amaze me.
You can now play Sealed & Draft tournaments thanks to a fan project by
@randomizedotink
.
Tons of people asked about this so now you have it.
@Nive_the_Nerd
will be happy :)
Just received and opened my
#Lorcana
Shimmering Skies boxes.
I am now 21 boxes (of which 4 cases) + at least 4-5 boxes of loose packs, deep since set 2 and I have not seen an enchanted.
At this point I am more excited to see how long this can go on instead of openning one
For anyone interested - the official Disney
#Lorcana
app was just updated with Into The Inklands cards.
(at least for me, the locations are missing, though?)
My thoughts on the hot topic.
I was surprised by the 2 games decisions as many others. But admirations to the
#Lorcana
team for being brave enough to challenge something so fundamental in a tournament system.
I am very excited to give it a shot and will try it out open minded.
Ranked Season in Pixelborn Connect for Disney
#Lorcana
completed with ~15 000 played games (for about a month)
Missing some 0s from the old PB days but still way more than I expected of a webcam platform.
Just 0.4% of the games had issues with wrong result report or bad behaviour
I know you are all exited about the new cards - at least I am very hyped. BUT I am out of town - will be back tomorrow and I will add a new game mode where you can play with the new cards 😉
So the new cards will be playable on Pixelborn tomorrow.
#Lorcana
Shift for Pixelborn is finally ready. That one took some time to develop but I guess this was expected since it was the most mentioned ability during the recent

#Lorcana
Last time I brag, I promise. You won't hear from me any time soon.
Pixelborn Discord just surprassed the Lorcana FB group, making it the largest online Lorcana community with over 40k members.
To celebrate I will open my box in the PB server in ~30-40 mins.
#Lorcana
A friendly ask to all fellow
#Lorcana
fans.
When you share a new card, please add the source as well.
That is the whole point of having a spoiler season - appreciation to all content creators and a way for players to discover them
I am not crying... you are crying... 1 year later... in my hands...
#DisneyLorcana
. After everything that happened today opening will be even sweeter...
Today’s post is dedicated to

When you started pixelborn, did you ever know how far you’d go? Thanks for all you’ve done for the Lorcana community.
We hope you enjoy this nod to your favorite Disney movie 🏝️

Exactly 2 months ago (18 Aug) ranked season 1 started on Pixelborn. It took you 2 months to get to
1 000 000
completed ranked games. ONE MILLION. I am humbled by the continued support and passion of everyone!
Stay Happy!

In
@Altered_TCG
you have a chance to open a Gold pack - a pack containing only uniques (legendaries).
Uniques having special effects + Gold packs makes pack opening fresh and exciting even after you got everything.
Just opened my first one.
And again - just look at that art!
Maybe my memory is short, but I can't recall a better meta state in any of the (countless) TCGs I've played.
Fantastic job from the
#Lorcana
design team.
The set 3 Lorcana metagame isn’t just the best and most balanced metagame we’ve seen so far. It’s one of the most fun constructed metas I’ve experienced in any game.
Tons of viable decks, high skill ceiling, high rewards for using your flex spots on the right things each week.
Starting Set 3 all
#Lorcana
booster boxes will be wrapped so you know if a box has been opened.
Just announced on the official Lorcana Discord (which was just announced as well)

Ranked Matchmaking, Leaderboards, Deck and Player stats.
Queue for a game with a device with a camera. When a worthy opponent is found, you will join a video call with them.

Worth the effort.
3 more games coming soon.
That was my first game on
#Pixelborn
Connect for
#Lorcana
(finally found some free time).
Everyone mentioned the good experience, but I had some doubts... a couple of games later I can say I love it - nothing can beat human interaction.
If you are a streamer interested in
Incoming challenge with some gifts:
I believe the
#Lorcana
meta is defined by the content creators more than anything else, and only a few people look at stats.
I will not be posting PB stats temporarily (will post them later)

#Lorcana
We knew that
#Lorcana
set 3 is so critical in many aspects.
With set 3 we get the full picture of how the game is meant to be played.
My theory is that we didn't get comprehensive rules doc until now, because it references locations a lot.
Still not sure if I like the locations
Pixelborn update(1.5) was focused on new stuff:
- Username change available to everyone(kind of)
- Personal deck stats (win rates vs other decks)
- Custom games with any number of colors
- Improved Patron Linking
- etc...
Now that the cool stuff is out back to bugs
#Lorcana
Many people share similar hesitation. Don't be shy and give Pixelborn Connect a shot. Think of it as your digital LGS - you never know when you would make a new friend.
Played some Pixelborn Connect tonight, I was very hesitant to play via webcam. 1) the tech is easier than I thought & 2) the people were kind and patient. A BIG thank you to
@PavelKolev7
for sticking this out and supporting
#Lorcana
30 hours of digging logs and 123 build attempts later:
Pixelborn Mac build uploaded...
One of the most challenging issues I've ever had to solve.
p.s. Unity support didn't help at all.
#Lorcana
One of the things that I will always cherish and get back to from my
#Lorcana
journey is the two interviews Eric and I had.
It is an honor to call
@EpicSwitzer
a friend, and the Lorcana community is lucky to have such a talented author covering the game.
I treasure every opportunity I get to go 1 on 1 with
@PavelKolev7
, even when the topic is something really difficult to discuss. In this interview Pavel shares his perspective and feelings about ending Pixelborn. There's so much I want to say about the kind of person Pavel is,
The top cut of
@Thea__Beasty
's tournament is so jammed with top players, that I can't remember when was the last time I was so exited to watch a tournament.
If you are into
#Lorcana
you wouldn't wanna miss it. Various streams start in 2h.
Turns out an LGS in Bulgaria managed to secure an OP kit and starter decks (no idea how). No boxes, though. I guess there will be organized play outside of the launch countries.
I can't believe that it is actually happening. I will be able to play on Sunday!!!
#Lorcana
I wanted to show characters at locations when you hover one, but then some hovers hide the lines.
I can move the hovers of cards to be static on the side but this is bad UX as you have to constantly move your head.

We made it!
This month's donation is for $4000 going to The Maui Strong Fund! So grateful to the whole
#Lorcana
community for contributing to this by playing on Pixelborn!
This is also the day we got to 40k users, 30k on Discord and 1000 patrons!

Meanwhile, season 0 on Pixelborn has been completed! 12 000+ people will get one of these lovely card backs.
Season 1 has begun!

Tomorrow we are getting the first stats from Pixelborn season 2.
Which color combinations do you expect to be most played?
For those not following closely PB now tracks individual cards stats - deck, played, inked, starting hand etc.

Today, the Pixelborn patrons donated $5000 to

The

I am really humbled! Together we really make a difference in the world by just enjoying our favorite game!
The amazing

The funds were generated with the Pixelborn patreon.
Couldn't be more proud of this moment and a perfect week for this to happen!
