There’s a thing about CCG and game design that few people tell you about… the spreadsheets. Oh the spreadsheets.
Especially when you make your game a bit complicated.
I am currently trying to ensure an even distribution of skills and a particular distribution of types… and dear reader…
The…
Spreadsheets…
Been working on more of these Agent portraits for use in the game I am working on called “Neon City”
It was kind of fun to realise that Secondlife would basically let me do these relatively easily for someone with zero-people-drawing skills.
Been doing some more work on the layout and graphic for this #ccg I’ve been working on.
Still not yet figured out how I want to do the card backs… I will ostensibly want 3 kinds… maybe 2…
And I can’t find a “Wild brush” style typeface I like… trawled all the usual freebie places and still discontent…
Do you play Hearthstone? What do you think of the mechanics?
Here’s a few notes from designer D. Brad Talton Jr. on why Hearthstone appeals to players on many different levels.
Design Marches On
After coming home from Templecon, I am sick, yes. But I am also invigorated. I had such a good time, met so many wonderful people, and played so many new games that I can't help but feel inspired to finish my own.
So in that vein I've spent the last few days working on some bottom-up design to fill in some holes in the initial card pool of that Superhero card game I've been working on. It's at 88 cards now, not enough for any kind of release, but enough to really start testing it and figuring out balance.
I've also started to look into ways to easilly prototype cards into a printable format. Excel is clunky unfortunately. But I found a program online that is expressly for this purpose. So hopefully I'll be able to start doing that tomorrow or Friday.
There are some rules that still need better wording, and some graphical things to start thinking about, but I'm really enjoying how this is going.
Hopefully I'll have another initial playtest soon.
