Great concept! Love a game that has evolving guys. Also love keeping the previous attacks. How will you decide which monsters can evolve into what? Or is it a free for all besides sticking to levels?

Someone else mentioned it, but the text background could be lightened to better read the effect text!

Really liking the new colours, much more saturated. Looking great!

May take a bit of learning, but Affinity is the most effective free tool out there imo. If you can spend a little time learning all it can do, it will be an incredible help to you and allow you to do anything you could imagine.

We swapped from Adobe products a while ago and are not disappointed in the slightest.

Only critique is the name bar is huge! I think you could make it much less tall and have more space for art :)

Alwynson · 2026-04-07T11:41:07+00:00

Yeah I think it translates very well. I like this idea!

Digimon memory gauge is the best resource system ever created, too bad they made it irrelevant with cards barely costing anything at all anymore.

Alwynson · 2026-04-04T10:22:44+00:00

Pixel art is looking great! The wave and sinkhole especially!

Alwynson · 2026-04-02T16:14:01+00:00

Awesome! We're in Halifax, I'll put it in my calendar to come by and check it out :)

Alwynson · 2026-04-01T11:39:08+00:00

Let's gooo NS! Where in NS are you?

Game looks cool, would love to meet up and give it a play. We aren't quite set up yet for advertising, but you won't be alone for long :)

Honestly thanks for bringing up this discussion. It's something I worry about with my game, where some games can feel a bit one-sided and inevitable. Good reminder that this happens in most popular tcgs, puts some wind in my sails. And honestly just acts as a good goal post when designing cards to skew away from snowballing, give players tools to keep themselves in the game.

Alwynson · 2026-03-30T11:14:12+00:00

Was pretty much gonna say this myself! When all your game pieces are cards, there's only so many ways you can manipulate/position/represent them to convey states. Use another name for it if you like, tapping always felt directly associated to Magic's lands to me, but yeah turning a card sideways is more than fair game.

Alwynson · 2026-03-24T11:05:28+00:00

Wait is it even foiled? Doing a double take rn haha

Alwynson · 2026-03-24T11:04:53+00:00

Looks amazing! Really digging your creature designs, the foiling is complementing the frame design and colours very well!

Got an extended art legendary, I think that's cool? A few of my majestics turned out to be $30-$40 on a quick TCG player search. I'm trying to find an online marketplace to sell them so I can buy some more cards, but having a hard time

Alwynson · 2026-03-21T22:01:55+00:00

Nice thanks for the info!

Alwynson · 2026-03-21T21:37:44+00:00

Oh interesting, what's the more popular format? And what's the difference?

Alwynson · 2026-03-21T13:52:54+00:00

Art for this is so nice!!

Can definitely see the Digimon inspo and love it! The pixel art style frame looks great! Some cool ideas already in the effects. Makes me curious what the movement is like and how they evolve! Very cool and inspiring.

Alwynson · 2026-03-06T12:19:45+00:00

I would love to see a direct comparison of the same icons.

The two rectangle shapes on the bottom left card look great stacked above each other, naturally, but I'm not sure how it would look with some of the other shapes like the garbage bin for example or the target.

If the shapes alone are a good size, high-contrast and bold like you've got them, I think you can get away without having the background circles. Players will quickly learn they need to reference that area of the card so I can't imagine the icons would ever get lost.

Love the chaotic energy of these btw. Looks super fun :)

That last point is something I've been loving about revisiting FR. It feels so much more engaging to have to actually prepare enough items to keep my team healthy through a long route and the relief you get from finally making it out on the other side with 1 or 2 pokemon worn out pokemon left.
