Building the systems is only half the battle: players need to be able to see what's going on! There's a lot more to do, but here are some of the visual improvements we've made so far.

Adding this breaks the rules of my card game... But, the more rules you break, the more fun you'll have! #gamedev
Finding that special something for card art โจ It can be the littlest details that make the biggest impact, but are also just the most fun to play around with! Let me know what you think of this style and the art on display here!

PITCH 1: In Chrono Cards, attend the one and only Chrono Con, the greatest convention across time! Chrono Cards is, of course, the greatest card game of all time. That's why, inspired by the game's time-traveling mechanics, the master of the Con invented a real time machine in
Which theme do you like best for our digital card game? (More details in replies)
1) The in-universe card game inspired real time travel to host a convention with players across time

When your co-host abandons you, all there is to do is invite your siblings on the podcast with you and freestyle a Sam diss track. It's really the only option ๐ค

Here is the process involved in making a brand new card from scratch in our upcoming digital card game!
We go through a lot of bananas. ๐

If our digital card game was a CARD, here's the deck we'd build around it! Check out our newest video all about what's new in our upcoming game Chrono Cards at youtu.be/4qMePKJJY4s ๐ฎ

IRL animal companions do NOT give the same buffs as they do in video games. Doesn't stop me from loving them though! ๐ 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 just participated in a game jam, and if you're looking to get into game development you should too! It's one of the absolute best ways to learn, plus it's just fun. Who doesn't want to hole up for a weekend and do nothing but game? ๐งโ๐ป

Part 2 of our lead programmer trying to guess which cards go to the placeholder art our intern made in our latest digital card game project! Can he redeem his subpar score?
#indiegame #cardgame #gamedev
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.

The road toward art improvement is a long one... It's pretty fun though! These are just a few of the many pieces I've been iterating on, so let me know what you want to see more of ๐จ
#indiedev #indiegame #gamedesign #gameart #gameartist #art
After spending hours and hours working on the systems just to make our card game function, it's crazy how just 1 hour adding some little placeholder animations suddenly makes it feel more real.

Ori and the Blind Forest has beautiful art, music, and the most endearing characters ever, but there's something else that's stuck in my head forever: Its brutal save mechanic (Isn't this supposed to be an easy game?)

Playing our #indiegame for the first time! Now that the prototype is playable, we had to see which #gamedev was the best at Chrono Cards!
I draw funny little guys, they do real work! ๐ป๐จ 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.

The Mini Mage has made a snow-mage friend! Though, he's missing something... aha! (Or, more accurately, a-hat)

It feels great to discover synergies you didn't even plan for in your own game. It lets you put yourself in your players' shoes and realize that the game really is fun!
