I'm designing a digital card game and want to give players who played similar games a quickstart / rules overview in case they don't like guided tutorials. Does this 1-pager convey what the main mechanics of the game are and how it might be played? #gamedev

An old UI prototype (pure html, css, js) for a virtual PC for a game jam from years ago. Does this have potential for a detective game in the vein of Her Story, Golden Idol, Obra Dinn, Roottrees are Dead? #indiegames #gamedev

#gamedev After listening to Sarah Shipp's latest advice on theming (on the Ludology podcast) I'm trying my hand in writing a more thematic description for my card game. Old vs. new below. Any feedback and criticism to improve welcome!

A custom ability I just drafted in-game in Card Coder.
I think it's a good sign that I'm starting to enjoy playing the game as much as I enjoy developing it :) Steam link:

Το Card Coder είναι ένα Roguelike Deck-Builder/ Card Battler, διαφορετικό από οποιοδήποτε άλλο game του είδους κυκλοφορεί τώρα στην αγορά! Ο Maximilian Scherer, καθηγητής Πληροφορικής και #indiedev, το αναπτύσσει βασιζόμενος σε μία πρωτοποριακή ιδέα.

Card Coder – Σε αυτό το Card Battler θα παίξουμε με τα δικά μας χαρτιά!
Στο Card Coder, το καινοτόμο Deck-Builder, θα παίξουμε όπως ακριβώς θέλουμε, προσαρμόζοντας στο προσωπικό μας στιλ τη συμπεριφορά και την εμφάνιση των χαρτιών της τράπουλας.…

Steam should increase the number of "Recent Reviews" from 10 to 20 or even 50. Right now, you can get the dreaded yellow "Mixed" label if just 4 out of 10 reviews in the last 30 days are negative. Though that is statistically perfectly normal for a "Very Good" overall rating around 85%. #gamedev

"Undo" button (upper right in the video) for my card-building roguelite Card Coder. Thoughts? (besides the fact that all my cards use the same artwork atm)

Happy #TurnBasedThursday ! Surprisingly few games in the #deckbuilding #roguelike genre actually play like a #cardbattler. So I'm developing exactly that in Card Coder:

An experiment. Can you like this post if (and only if) you play and buy video games.

Some people over on Twitter/X seem to think it's only game developers here.
