Lv 37. Disgaea guy, FFXIV casual, Spare-time Card Game Designer. Emotional Vampire. Will respond but awful at initiating. A bit too boring to be a streamer. Wants more people to watch Gnosia.

A lot of my problem with just getting these card games out of the door is just motivation. And its hard to be motivated with how isolated I am.
I used to stream the card creation progress and that at least kept me on task, but the new workflow isn't very good at show-and-tell.

Gnosia anime is putting *way* more work into answering the actual most important question of the series than the game did, since the game expected you to extrapolate and infer everything about that question. Narratively, probably for the best.
Great episode.

Whelp, finally got unlucky in Nikke. PvP server merges landed again, with mine having no less than four leviathans, shutting me out of Champion's Arena for good. Had been okay in that regard until this merge.
They each have more than double my power. Not spending thousands to catch up.

Damn, the MH Wilds update was *very* compatable with my PC. Went from Quality DLSS and frame gen to DLAA and no frame gen. Actual legitimate improvements.
Probably where it needed to be at launch but I can see the vision of a switch 2 version now.

Part 1 of dual boot successful, getting win11 back up first. Forgot to backup the old documents folder, so grabbed DMDE to grab a few files I forgot... which included the UmaDCG 0.1 rulebook.
So I'm posting it here.
90% of its DNA really is from the MLPDCG.

Yup, gonna havta dual boot. For a grand total of three programs and two games that just won't work in linux (and that's mostly because some mods that dont play nice, not anticheat).
Now, just how much to divide the storage...

Finally found a batch image resize in IfranView, because resizing all of the cards for Tabletop Simulator in Paint.NET one at a time was a daunting task.
...one of many daunting tasks.
GIMP and Affinity didnt do resizing at the quality I wanted, and ImageMagick doesn't seem to want to work for me.

Looking into moving my workflow to linux. Winboat takes care of Cocktail Card Designer, but I need to figure out others.
It may have to be dual boot when I need those programs/drivers. CachyOS for daily/gaming, windows when I need to do renders? Hrm.

Gnosia confirmed struggling against juggernaut this season, despite no loss of quality on one of the best VN adaptations I've ever seen.

Disgaea: Netherwar Card Game Leader Card - New Year's Valvatorez.
The New Year's block focuses on drawing cards and accumulation, a rarity in this game where draw power is huge.

I mean, I'm still going to work on the two pocket tcgs, I've spent way too long making them in one form or another and I'm stubborn. Someone out there wants a slow tcg, I getcha.
That and giving Haru Urara an attack stat is INCORRECT, Cygame/Bushiroad. Even if she could face down a helicopter.

Palworld TCG got me thinking about how fast modern tcg is, and how my own two pocket tcgs are doomed from the word go for being "slow".
And yeah, part of it is me valuing decision making in the moment over mechanical dexterity. Same for fighting games, I prefer games with higher neutral counts.

Palworld TCG... at least the UI and back look nice? It already looks to be Keyword and Power Level focused, which is standard OP for Bushiroad... I'm just not fond of power levels in customizable-focused IP. Infamously so.
Some concerns for game balance, too. Lots of known egregious power creep.

The Gnosia anime has always hinged on how it'll stick the landing, especially since the one Moon Logic Puzzle in the entire game is involved.
I think I might have it figured out, given current "changes" and focus points in the anime, and if they do it the way I think, everything fits super nicely.

Gnosia episode... well, that's a way to do that particular loop, do both parts!
Fun bit: for the game, "Let's Play" is the explicit endgame unlock point (as in, certain notes actually can't occur before this one), so having it be the second cour start makes sense.

I really am trying to work on the Disgaea card game daily this year, especially since this is the best ccg workflow I think I've ever had.
Assets - ChaiNNer - Krita - Cocktail Card Designer - ImageMagick, using Google sheets to store card data.
(I dont see NNs as true genAI, just complex models.)

Okay, this flu *sucks*.
My old card back corrupted so I couldn't resize it, so time to take what I learned and build a new one... eight and a half years later after the old one.
The Disgaea card base Leader base is always D5 coded, so the back of the cards are too.
And the x1000 res works in TTS!

Still laid out sick, so just working on workflow and updates. Head full of rocks.
Also, I was operating that Tabletop Simulator wanted deck textures being 4096x4096, which is technically correct... but then everyone just breaks that going way over.
716x1000 cards it is, then. 20% bigger renders!

Update: my S Rank Oguri did *technically* lose in the finals.
Because Golshi things.
Actually more surprised she placed that high, because she wasn't overcapped at all.

Over here starting the new year sick as hell. Forgot that Gnosia is on a one week break.
I at least improved the Makai Wars renders to "actually usable" for Disgaea Netherwar, even if they're not perfect. The art used, especially in the last third of its life, just have huge quality/size issues.

That and the anime version of the most iconic song in the series ULULO was in the episode and it worked *so damn well*.
