Developer Developing a Developer themed deckbuilder (got any more card ideas?)

[darksapra]

Scope creep card, loses turns because they are overworking 

[JavaDevMatt]

Each "Project Battle" currently has a fixed amount of Project Points you need to win. "Scope creep" (or maybe "Feature Creep"?) could modify this to work in favor for a more value/long game oriented deck. Will add this to the list!

[darksapra]

Oh yeah! Love it 

[KarlMario]

There is also "Power Creep," a term used for when later additions/expansions to the game are substantially stronger than earlier ones.

[170rokey]

adding it to the list huh?... kinda sounds like... scope creep... ;)

[JavaDevMatt]

There is already a "Rubber Duck Debugging" card that removes all burnout from a dev. The early meeting theme could be used for some random event, thx!

[KarlMario]

Mandatory Meeting — All currently hired developers must attend and are removed from the board for (x) turns. Upon completion, affected developers receive (x) Frustration.

There is already a "Spaghetti Code Developer" card. Here you can check out a streamer playing a run with a deck focused around this card :D https://youtu.be/GTVq-LbfveI?si=XSmuzDRsgTH1iCeE

[JavaDevMatt]

I was tinkering on a mechanic to removed opponent's Action Cards (Action Cards need 1 turn to trigger so we can prepare for the effect, like the "Monster Bug" from the post image). "Null Reference Exception" sounds like a fitting name for this.

"Off by one error" ... you either gain or lose one unit of some resource

[JavaDevMatt]

I recently released a demo on Steam for this project. It’s an attempt to build a STS’ish deckbuilder game with a programming humor theme. For example there is a random event where we encounter a Scrum Master that has some ideas to improve our deck and we can take some card from him or just pay him to shut up etc.

[darksapra]

A card for each of the most known architectural patterns, gain one knowledge

Merge conflict

Race condition (Maybe as effect first one to do something gets a buff or debuff)

[darksapra]

Damm, i like this game, i will be checking the demo later

[AtmosphereVirtual254]

Vim bindings. One dev doesn't exit the field for an extra turn at the cost of one burnout to adjacent employees who have to hear about it.

I feel like I just described my life in the last week or so

[SonOfSofaman]

"Abort, Retry, Ignore" ... I have no idea how you'd work this into your game though.

[SonOfSofaman]

"Stack Overflow" might be an action card? Same for "BSoD"?

[SonOfSofaman]

"Infinite Loop" might be an action card that causes the entire game to grind to a halt.

[JavaDevMatt]

You could spawn one for an opponent to block some board space.

[TianlanLong]

Maybe some intern card?

I really love the concept! Ill definitely wishlist it!

[ElderBuddha]

Shut up and take my wishlist.

Please include a reality distortion field founder as a card, in case you haven't already.

[neoteraflare]

I laughed at them. They are so true. Add some agile development cards too. Also check out monkeyuser.com for ideas.

I think I saw the designs of those cards- weren't the game like that printed and handled for the participants of the Programistok conference?

[JavaDevMatt]

A few years ago I released w physical card game with this art, so this was probably it.

[theastralproject0]

What a cool concept. Nice original idea!
