About Us

Gifted Vision began purely as a graphic design and animation freelance company in 1996 when I moved to Toronto Ontario. I was working full time at the time and doing freelance work on the side. Almost immediately I found that I wanted to mold a fantasy world on my own and bring it to the market, and thus was born Dungeon Crawler.

Dungeon Crawler began as a video game concept in 1996, evolved in to a table top game in 2000 and eventually came around to a collectible card game concept in 2007 - all were designs of a specific fantasy world that stuck with the name Dungeon Crawler. Knowing what you want to make is one thing, finding the right medium to deliver that idea is a different animal entirely.

Once I had decided to push forward with the CCG medium, it all started to fall in to place. The original idea was simple; a ccg where someone could play solitaire or competitively. The concept seemed simple enough, but pulling off something that could be fun for both versions of play could be tricky. Using Solitaire as a model I moved forward with the idea that if this could work for 1 player, this could work for multi-player.

The first draft of the rules required a major overhaul after a full year hiatus. The rules were challenging, but very complicated and therefor a hard sell. The game needed a big change in the direction of simplification - and therefore "fun". I re-examined how I wanted the game to work overall, while maintaining the flavor of the Dungeon Crawler world I had been developing over the years. It came time to cut out all of the complications (like Soul Points and commonly used multiplication formulas)... and viola! A few changes here, and some testing there... the basic concept was still intact, and even though the rules weren't following the table top version to the letter, the essence was still there and I had a version of the game that I liked.

It has been a long road for me, and I hope that this game brings years of entertainment for those trying it out. I would also like to thank those of you trying it for the first time for giving it a chance to win you over.
