IRL animal companions do NOT give the same buffs as they do in video games. Doesn't stop me from loving them though! ๐Ÿ’• There's only one developer on the team with pets anyway, so I need to try to get all the set bonuses I can.

We only have a handful of cards implemented so far in our early playtests, but already there are some CRAZY combos. Titan is a big win condition in the current playtest deck, but you need some clever combos to make it work.

We needed some placeholder art for our digital card game, so we put our intern to work finding some.

Naturally, the next step was to see how many our lead programmer could guess, and record it so we could make fun of his score.

I draw funny little guys, they do real work! ๐Ÿ’ป๐ŸŽจ We're kidding, art is also a very valuable part of game development! The difference does feel like getting to do coloring sheets in the office sometimes, though.
