Shows a pixel art Word Card. It has a square, rounded outline. The card has a warm sun in the background with a low pixel-count hiker in front of the sun. The hiker is walking up a mountain to the right of the card, and is approaching the snowy part of the mountain. There are also snow flakes near the snowy part of the mountain.
Finished the art for the HIKER Word Card!

A screenshot of my game WordPetition. The Word Box says “I took a ####”, the spaces are also their own tiles.
added evil censorship to the game

Working on bosses for the game!

You can now playtest the demo!
happyholo.itch.io/wordpetition...
It’s still a work in progress (no shop, no bosses, etc) and might contain a couple bugs, but have fun!
#godot #indiegame #pixelart #wordgame #cardgame #balatro #solodev #gamedev #games #gameplay #indiedev #aseprite #balatrolike
The shop from the game! There’s a rainbow background that’s meant to hide the main game, for the shop to have focus. There’s bright yellow text that says SHOP at the top of the shop. Underneath, there is a green next round button and a reroll button on the left. Also underneath the yellow next there is a E letter, a space/blank letter, an A letter, another space letter, and a Z letter on the right.
More Word Cards (jokers) from the game! RAMEN: 2x fire, loses 0.005x fire per card drawn. (Uncommon). COOKBOOK: Spawns a random food Word Card for every 5 valid words spelled consecutively. (LEGENDARY). ARSONIST: When a space (or blank) is “scored”, destroy all cards behind it. Gains +1 fire for each card destroyed by this card. (Uncommon). HINT: +75 points if the spelled word is a special word. Shows the closest special word, in the text box below the card. (Common). HAND: Allows you to hold +8 more letters. Also gives +8 draws. (ordered from left to right)

The Word Card SHORT +50 points, but is (red text) reduced exponentially (red text end) by the length of the scored word. (grey text) 50 / 1.2^(word length) TIP: Spell shorter words!
vicious mockery

A open book with beige-ish pages and a dark brown cover. The book is shown in front with the regular game in the background. The left page has a blue circular icon with a darker blue W in the center of the icon. Below the blue icon, the left page has the title “Light Reading”. Below the title text it says “Target Score: $600.” The right page has an orange circular icon that imitates the fire’s colors. It also has a red (with a little orange) W in the center of the icon. Below the orange icon, the right page has the title “Long Reading”. Below the title text it says “Target Score: $1200.”
The Pages and Chapters book system is now functional!

Made these funny little ui animations, they’re everywhere else in the game now too (every major menu has a little animation).

Cool new pause menu

Meant to replace the previous pinned gameplay teaser. This one better shows how the game is actually played.

WORDPETITION, the word game where your words matter!
This is an upcoming multiplayer word game inspired by Balatro! Spell a word to unlock that specific word’s “joker”.
#godot #indiegame #pixelart #wordgame #cardgame #balatro #solodev #gamedev #games #gameplay #indiedev #aseprite #balatrolike
I’ve mostly been focusing on a lot of big things like the options menu, pages and chapters, possible lore, multiplayer improvements, etc.
The game is starting to become really fun and I can’t wait to see people play it.
#godot #indiegame #wordgame #cardgame #balatro #gamedev #indiedev #balatrolike
The demo actually feels like it’s going to be done soon :D! I don’t want to make an official demo until other people play it though. A public playtest will likely happen before the demo is released (to catch bugs).

The Word Card ALPHABET, its description reads: If every letter in the scored word is unique, multiply fire by word length.
New Word Card, ALPHABET!

FINALLY fixed CASCADE after three days of just screaming at the code to work. It's now a real card in-game!

The GIBBERISH Word Card from my game, Wordpetition!
#godot #indiegame #wordgame #cardgame #balatro #solodev #gamedev #games #gamedesign #indiedev #balatrolike #pixelart #aseprite
Had to fix many bugs to get it working, but now you can play the entire game in the web browser, which is good because nobody even has to download the game to play it.
#godot #indiegame #wordgame #cardgame #balatro #solodev #gamedev #games #gamedesign #indiedev #balatrolike
The game now works in the web browser! It supports mobile browsers too (it works single-threaded now).
#godot #indiegame #wordgame #cardgame #balatro #solodev #gamedev #games #gamedesign #indiedev #balatrolike
It’s going to be really fun designing the boss pages for the game.
Mostly been stuck fixing some really annoying bugs with the web version + CASCADE, more dev logs coming soon!
#gamedev #balatrolike #wordgame #cardgame #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #art #aseprite #balatro #gamedesign #godot
Boss pages should be a lot more fun and counterable than Balatro’s blinds, since you can actively swap out and get more Word Cards during the game.
