Solo dev working on Mancer Mash, a rogue-like deck builder inspired by Yu-Gi-Oh and Slay the Spire. Mostly a devlog. I'm looking for lots of gamedev and gamer mutuals

Fight scene and cards are now working in the new resolution. Lucky for me a lot of the code was reusable #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #deckbuilder #tcg #GodotEngine

Refactored the side panel info layout to be reusable across scenes, and applied it to the bracket scene. Improved the bracket node placement to fix overlaps at higher node counts. #gamedev #indiegame #deckbuilder #tcg #solodev #indiedev #Godot

I entirely removed the card text from cards themselves and made a panel on the side to sidestep my text size problem. #pixelart #GodotEngine #solodev #yugioh #deckbuilder #cardgame #indiedev

My first instinct is to have a separate panel to the side for displaying long card descriptions like in this pic and make it scrollable so I can use the bigger font

I'm trying to get the card/collection scenes to work with my new screen size, and this time I'm fully utilizing Godot's control nodes. Resizing text on card descriptions seems to be a problem that I need to solve.

Setting up the project theme to make working with the UI easier in the future. A lot of people complain about "tutorial hell," but sometimes diving in without guidance means you miss crucial information. I was doing everything manually before! #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #tcg #deckbuilder #cardgame

I adjusted the project's native resolution to 640x360, which ended up causing several issues that I'm now working to fix. In hindsight, this should have been step zero, but making mistakes is learning. #gamedev #GodotEngine #pixelart #indiedev #cardgame #deckbuilder

A new button in the tournament bracket scene? I wonder what it does.. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #deckbuilder

I added a glow effect to indicate playable cards in an attempt to make the game more readable. After each game action, the system dynamically checks to see if a card's mana and other costs are satisfied.

I added a floating idle effect to the deck and used pile sprites, I figured it makes sense for wizards to levitate their decks instead of placing them on the mat. I'm also working on the versus panel at the top with some sprite updates. #gamedev #solodev #GodotEngine #deckbuilder #tcg

I made several improvements to the card effects: I smoothed the drop shadows and made them more responsive to the player's mouse movement and the elements' z-index. I also added a subtle dynamic skew to the picked-up card sprites #cardgame #gamedev #GodotEngine #deckbuilder #indiegame #pixelart

Extended the game logic to handle card generation—currently with predetermined cards, but I'm planning to add Hearthstone-style random generation too. If you're not generating cards in your digital card game, are you even using the medium fully? #gamedev #GodotEngine #solodev #tcg #cardgame

Rough prototyping the character sheets. I'm not entirely sure how to integrate the character model in a more natural way yet #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #GodotEngine #pixelart

I added the new background sprite to my tournament bracket scene and removed the character portraits to clean up the visual layout. I’m planning to move the character portraits, or possibly the models themselves, into hover tooltips. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #deckbuilder #solodev #godot

A new type of enemy ability, called "Rules" (though players won't see this term), is here. These abilities impose constant restrictions on player actions. For example, one shown in the video exiles a card whenever the player tries to send it from the deck to the discard pile #gamedev #solodev #godot

I worked a bit more on the background and I think I'm starting to get somewhere. The larger area for the fight scene lets me include more of the scene background to help break up the browns and yellows.
