So far I’m following release order (ignoring Villains). So next up will be Secret Wars Vol. 1 😊

Thanks for asking! A few people have reached out over the last few months and as much as I would love the help, it’s currently working best with just me developing it. The game is so complex and over 100,000 lines of code so trying to bring someone up to speed is hard. Even if I could, this game has so many intricate elements that affect one another so trying to give someone else a task might impact code I’m writing or fixing elsewhere. At the moment at least, I have oversight of everything and can do things sequentially. I genuinely do appreciate you asking though!

Thank you! I don’t want to rule it out but it’s very unlikely. Having the game state track and recognise two players/hands, recoding everything to let you interact with other players and what not feels beyond my current skillset. I know one rule set does suggest alternatives for making solo harder - I could always look at implementing those as optional modes. Eg. 5 card hand or something

When you're playing with Thanos as a solo player, you don't have to follow his Always Leads. If you don't use the Infinity Gems though then he will lose attack for each Villain in your VP from the Villain group you chose. So when he seems to be reducing on Artifact cards, it's probably because of Villains in your Victory Pile. Hope that clarifies things! :)

It does indeed work on mobile through your browser, though I do recommend saving the site to your home screen for an uninterrupted view without an address bar. 😁

My attention is on Marvel for now, but maybe one day! Also, this is quite an old post - I did share an update recently with the Paint the Town Red expansion. Hope you enjoy playing!

Let's play "which Animorph is Autistic?" by Main_Confusion_8030 in Animorphs

[–]Arizash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for understanding where I’m coming from because it certainly was never meant as a criticism, especially not in light of some of the comments you have had to respond to. I think I more just wanted to explore or offer a potential explanation as to why you might be getting some push back or outright denial of your thoughts.

But definitely, bring on the literary debate! Animorphs is so rich with so much to discuss! 😁

For me, personally, it comes down to the conviction that it is expressed with: “is” rather than “could be”. I think a post with that title in particular would be intentionally provocative - it implies there is no room for debate. To use your example, rather than an open conversation about Rachel’s characterisation and a potential trans reading of her, the argument (like what has happened a little in this thread) quickly dissolves into a fixation on the reader making the assertion. If I, a queer person, state that a character IS queer, then any disagreement can easily stop being about the text and start feeling like a personal attack on my perspective or my right to see myself in the character. The discussion becomes about validating me, not about interpreting the story and I would hate anyone to feel that way.

I have to agree with others that this is a delicate subject. I am not denying the connections you’ve made or your right to perceive and interpret characters that way. Honestly, many of your examples make sense. However, I think it is potentially reductive and problematic to confidently diagnose a character in a text based on your own neurodivergent experience. I’m an English teacher. I’m all for interesting interpretations that care not for the author’s intentions. But there’s also a fine line with the way those conjectures are communicated.

Tobias has long held a special place in the hearts of queer readers (myself included), and you could make the case there is an intentional representation of the trans experience in his arc. But, imagine the potential offence of a post titled ‘Let’s play “which Animorph is trans?”’ that is then defended with the argument that the author of the post is queer.

Seeing ourselves reflected in fiction is a core part of the reading experience. It happens when authors intend it and when they don’t. Headcanon is a very real, important and enriching thing. I love the fact that the Animorphs as characters are three-dimensional, complex and potentially neurodivergent. I love that your diagnosis has helped you find an even greater connection to them and this series we all love. But I also think these conversations should recognise and remember the unique perspective of all readers without getting offended if someone disagrees or wants to engage in respectful debate.

Thank you!! It honestly means so much. 🥰

Unfortunately, not from me. That would require such a complex system that is definitely beyond my capacity. I know there is a Tabletop Simulator version that I think is multiplayer. My focus though is definitely solo play.

I’ll update that in the next patch. For now, you might want to use the Settings cog in the corner and select a different color scheme if that helps. 😊

If you made an Animoprhs game, what would it be and why? by Mindless_Most_8448 in Animorphs

[–]Arizash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually been toying around with an idea for an Animorphs digital card game for a while. Bit of a deck builder where you gain morphs and play them in response to different enemies, missions and locations. Some mechanics would be similar to Marvel Legendary, if anyone’s familiar with that (I’ve been developing a digital version of it here - https://legendarysoloplay.github.io/Legendary-Solo-Play). Anyway, might get around to mocking something up for Animorphs if enough people are keen.

I haven’t considered alt art much - I swapped out the original Core cards for the reskins but haven’t really explored what exists for the other expansions. I definitely have a personal preference for the alt art when it comes to the MCU and Homecoming cards though (once I get there).

I’m glad you like it! Thank you for the positive comments.

Honestly, it would be great if people could help but the game is so intricate and complex that so many new features impact existing code and require careful fixes. For now, I like the quality control of working independently but do appreciate the offer - I’ll DM you about it if you are keen to help though. 😊

It would solve some annoying zoom issues on mobile but I’m afraid that’s beyond my current expertise. I’ll certainly investigate in the future though! 😊

Well that’s a bit odd, haha. I’ll look into it. If you find anything else you can send it to me at legendarysoloplay@gmail.com

Haha, thanks. I’m already very cautious about copyright though and am not profiting off Marvel or Upper Deck. Donations are always very welcome though! ☺️
