Hey everyone!
When I was 8 years old, I started making a card game that I never managed to finish (very inspired by Pokémon, during the craze back then). 27 years later, I finally committed to making a card game from beginning to end, playtesting it countless times with a couple of friends. Now it's also going digital (online)...
It's a strategy game that can be played with up to 4 players (though the online version is only 1v1). The goal is to destroy your opponent's Capital before they destroy yours. It was inspired by other popular card games like Magic and Pokémon (among others), but it has quite a few mechanics of its own, such as strategic positioning of Kravers (creatures), side effects (recoil damage, Exhausted, Wasted and Overdosed), the use of D20s, variable limits on the number of creatures in play, asymmetries in starting hand sizes and Capital HP, a hybrid resource system where you can draw cards and temporarily increase resource production by sacrificing cards, etc.
The game was originally designed to be Print & Play (and still is), but a few months ago, a friend of mine surprised me when he told me he was trying to implement the game online, with the help of AI-assisted coding. (Just to make it clear, the game itself was made 100% by humans. I came up with the rules, names and universe, and did all the illustrations myself. It was also tested in real life for over a year by my group of friends, and the card layouts, game logo and symbols were made by a professional designer.)
The game is already working relatively well, it's played in the browser, and it's optimized for PCs and tablets (the mobile version will be available really soon).
We're looking for more players to continue testing and improving the platform and the user experience. No previous experience is needed, we'd just like to have more people playing and get more feedback :)
The game platform uses Patreon authentication (the game itself doesn't ask for Patreon passwords or payment details), so you need to be a patron of the project. However, during this early stage, I'll be offering anyone interested a free one-year subscription as a thank-you for getting involved while the game is still at such an early stage.
If you're interested in being part of this project, just let me know in the comments or via PM and I'll send you the details in a private message! You can then play against the PC, your friends, or other players like me
Thanks in advance!
