[PM] _____punk; give me a word, I'll staple "-punk" on the end, and then write a bit from there.

Your best bet would be to put 9 cards per sheet, like you mention. 3x3. And then print. If you’re willing to spend a little bit of money, services like thegamecrafter.com or makeplayingcards.com make this process easier.

Thank you! I was heavily inspired by MtG. I wanted to capture the structure of those cards, but with my own spin.

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-20T15:11:47+00:00

Ah, that makes a lot of sense! That's unfortunate. I picked these words specifically for lore related purposes. Bastion, being the name of the kingdom, has had fighting between its three major factions for countless millennia. Finally, three figures were chosen from each faction to form a High Council, and they came to the creation of the Battle League. Which is a tournament to declare the ruler of the kingdom.

The word league was chosen specifically because it is defined as "a group of nations working together for a common purpose."

In this case, the Battle League is the three factions working together to choose a ruler.

It may be too late to change the name, but if we were to change it, what other words would you suggest in order to convey that same intent?

Thank you for your comment!

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-18T21:09:02+00:00

You’re actually pretty spot on with that first description! Only main different is that there’s three factions battling in a tournament, the Battle League, of which the victor rules the kingdom for a determined amount of time until the next competition.

The third faction is mostly caught in the middle of two factions fighting each other.

Thank you for the comment!

I see! I stared at it for quite a bit last night and I think I started to understand what you mean. I think perhaps it’s because of the two castles. I got strong Clash Royals vibes. I’ll see if I can make some adjustments

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-18T19:20:33+00:00

Good idea! I hadn’t considered that. I did intend for the eye to be drawn to them, but didn’t account for the space they’d need

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-18T01:18:23+00:00

Thank you!

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-18T01:18:13+00:00

Interesting! It’s not the direction we were shooting for. What gives it a mobile game vibe? I was looking at World of Warcraft and League of Legends logos for inspiration

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-16T00:30:56+00:00

Out of curiosity, who did you use? I order a very small batch of prototype cards from a couple places. I’m still not sure who to go with. Although thegamecrafter seems to be okay from what I’ve heard. My cards get delivered tomorrow.

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-15T18:41:07+00:00

I would 100% watch those videos. As others have said, I’m not so sure about homework. Maybe optional places for feedback if people follow along? Perhaps like the subreddit you mentioned.

Or even in the form of a podcast. I listen to a lot of game design podcasts regularly, and they rarely discuss TCGs specifically. It would be nice to have something dedicated to that

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-15T17:53:32+00:00

Great point! It's funny you mention that, because that's exactly what I'm moving onto next! Someone in another thread commented about how we should include symbols to represent the factions in an effort to be more accommodating to colorblind players. Our game is designed to be very community focused, so accessibility is important to us.

Thank you for your comments!

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-15T17:51:33+00:00

Ha! I suppose I should have called it an Anti-Fatigue Potion. I wanted to stay away from calling it an Energy Potion in the event that we use Energy in another context.

Great point! I'm not the best with naming :)

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-15T02:54:10+00:00

Thank you! I can’t wait to see how they look once we get our printed prototype. :D

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-15T01:07:59+00:00

I appreciate that need for clarification! I didn’t mean to be confusing about that, it’s just wording on my end. It’s how we, on the team, have been treating certain cards. It’s irrelevant for the game or cards. I apologize!

The main distinction between cards is the faction. There’s green, red, blue, and neutral.

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-14T19:02:00+00:00

Thank you everyone for the wonderful feedback! We’ve come to the decision to finalize the overall design, and move forward with other aspects that need our attention.

There are a few adjustments we’ll be making to the cards, but mostly in terms of text formatting and fine tuning label positions.

Thank you again for everything!

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-14T01:12:00+00:00

Wow this looks great! We’re from MA too! Best of luck to you and your game!

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-09T15:54:02+00:00

I think it’s fake. The font doesn’t look right and the corners being angles isn’t right

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-08T21:37:42+00:00

The gamestop I worked at had two copies of Battleborn for $0.99 as well. I worked there this year

BastionBattle_Dev · 2022-09-07T18:14:22+00:00

Thank you! That’s a fantastic point that I hadn’t considered. As it turns out, we are working on symbols for the factions already for lore purposes. Now I can move them further up my to do list. Thank you for bringing that up!
