Most TCGs have some "grouping" of cards, seperating gameplay styles.
I'm experimenting with an "Affinity" system to handle that!
If your character is bad at the type of magic your card represents, it becomes more expensive. #madewithgodot #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #cardgames

Cave layouts can now feature holes. This is mostly a visual feature (they are always surrounded by obstacles, I don't want players to just throw things into a pit to win), but giving different scenes a stronger visual identity is good. #gamedev #cardgames #madewithgodot

I've been working on a Map Editor!
While I intend to have most battles take place on procedurally generated maps, I want to use hand-made levels for tutorials, puzzles and perhaps story...? (!!)
Not pretty, but it's not intended for anyone but me, so it'll do. #gamedev #cardgames #madewithgodot

Finally, the game's correctly handling all the types of tiles in the forest -- now, the river can be electrically charged, grass burns and spreads at end of turn, and if you wish, you can freeze everything, too. Systemic gameplay, here we come! #gamedev #madewithgodot #cardgames #screenshotsaturday

Generated Battlefields -- here, a forest clearing -- now set the correct "material" for their tiles (for example, nothing will catch fire in the River). A little unceremoniously displayed here via the tooltip. Believe me, this is very exciting behind the scenes. #gamedev #indiegames #madewithgodot

In my Card Game, the battlefield is a part of the Duel, providing space for structures, hiding spaces to avoid projectiles or materials for elemental interactions.
I'm now adding new variants for different situations. This "Forest" Layout has vegetation, grass and a river! #gamedev #madewithgodot

Every Card now has a 3D scene shown when using or hovering over that card. Otherwise, a still image of the scene is shown instead. Should make everything look more dynamic! Next on the agenda is adding the Card Text back! #gamedev #cardgames #madewithgodot

Follow-up from yesterday: "Real" 3D-cards! Now, the 2D elements are arranged in a true 3D-scene in the editor, and the engine handles all calculations. Not fully sure if I prefer this, but I do like it. Should make things like adding particle FX easier. #gamedev #cardgame #madewithgodot

"Fake 3D"-cards: 2D elements are layered and morphed to appear "3D". Not sure I like it, and if it justifies the effort it'll take. Might be easier to map it all in a real 3D environment and let the engine/hardware figure out the transforms. #gamedev #cardgame #madewithgodot

Filter settings for the Deck Editor! Now you can filter by cost, card type (what it mainly does) or search for words in its text. I may add a search for related Keywords, too, but for now, I think this is good enough to continue with other stuff!

I'm now workin on CovenCard's Deck Editor!
Obviously an important part of the game, I try to keep with the visual cards (instead of just names) as much as possible. Also shown are some statistics - we'll have to see if they'll be useful in real games later

New camera movement when viewing the ingame log (no more hiding the battlefield!), and if you hover over an entry mentioning a place, thats highlighted in the 3D-view! Oh, and I implemented new, human-readable coordinates. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #madewithgodot #indiedev #cardgame

The last Battle-Log feature for now: Get the played card's information via mouse-over. Useful for new players!
(Disclaimer: I've added the fade to black (and of course the YouTube-esque red circle) to highlight what I mean in Photoshop, that's not ingame). #cardgame #godotengine #gamedev #indiegame

A look at the Log for the game that I am currently adding: Now, there's log entries for physical Movements (from throws, but also things like explosions).They are animated if you hover over them, so take your time to understand what happened!
