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:

Making a main menu out of cards. What do you think? (and yes, the menu is for a card game: store.steampowered.com/app/3355940/... ) #indiegames

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

Started adding some more personality to the cards in my card-building roguelike Card Coder. #WishlistWednesday #indiegames

"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)
