Gamasutra can reveal today that the second game from Minecraft developer Mojang -- a digital card game / board game mash-up announced by Markus 'Notch' Persson at GDC 2011 - is called Scrolls.
Scrolls, which Gamasutra was shown before GDC at the company's offices in Sweden, is set to be a collectible card game with board game elements. Players will build decks of 'scrolls' and use the various effects to cast spells and summon units for use against their opponents.
Gamasutra talked to Jakob Porser, the head developer of Scrolls, at the Mojang offices, in a lengthy interview regarding the game.
This week Gareth, Justin, and Michael look at the pending Game Developers Conference, Quakecon, and previews what fans may get from PAX Online now that Media Registration has started.

I really wonder if we will get any announcements. The company said they were not doing any of the summer showcases as they did not have anything that was ready to be revealed. Then we saw stuff in the PS5 showcase. So who knows. I figure it will more likely be hey this update is coming for Fallout 76, this one for DOOM Eternal, ETC. Usually they make their announcements during E3 and then use Quakecon for updates.
This is some really valuable information for those who work in the industry. Game Developers Conference (GDC) Survey Reveals Impact of COVID-19 on the Video Game Industry.
This should be an interesting experience this year as GDC has revealed what to expect from their virtual show.
