The game is back to being almost functional again #solodev #GodotEngine #gamedev #solodev #deckbuilder #tcg

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

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

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 added cards to the packs, along with animations for pulling them. Then, I integrated everything into the deck-building screen so you can use the cards you pulled to ... deck build! #deckbuilder #gamedev #solodev #tcg #yugioh #solodev

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

Just realized I forgot the video

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

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

I added a bunch of new cards and played a round with them. The only thing I needed to do was define their effects, since I had already built the action system. I have more card ideas, but the system can't handle them yet. #gamedev #indiedev #cardgame #tcg #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.

Pack opening animations!
