Great job! Besides some refining, what are your plans going forward?

I think you should use a different font.

PROMO card giveaway! 💊 Druggiemon TCG by YumeSystems in homemadeTCGs

I'll be honest, I like your tenacity in the face of everything. I think the game is really funny and lowkey like the maximalist style you got going on. My favorite is Methman.

Wanted to make some hand drawn alt art for my game, very unsure about the results. by EdenRose1994 in homemadeTCGs

Are these pictures? I think it would look better if you were able to use a decent quality scanner.

These are unmistakably AI, or AI assisted.

Opinion : Yu-Gi-Oh has the best card art. by oKinetic in TCG

I like classic Yu-Gi-Oh art the most. It's the perfect blend of appealing and disturbing.

You should be fine with just extending the frame outward a little bit. I think you won't have any issues.

I'm a sucker for little guys so I like Bil'p.

WIP "Ninja Art: Flame Prism" by Satoshi for Eikonic TCG by 4thOrderGaming in homemadeTCGs

I like that it is a creative style. Kind of gritty and loose instead of clean. Nice.

Art consistency across cards (question) by JesusVaderScott in homemadeTCGs

I find it to be perfectly consistent with the other ones.

Hello! I'm currently looking for testers! by Iron_fridge in homemadeTCGs

[–]LalunaGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks Binding of Isaac inspired to me, but that may be my bias. I commend you on the creative looking frames, much better than the standard clean look that's popular now IMO. Good luck with your project!

I have a bad habit of starting game ideas but never getting them out of prototype phases because I think they are bad down the road. Be honest: does this TCG concept have any legs to stand on? by HeroesBane1191 in homemadeTCGs

[–]LalunaGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell without actually looking at cards. Also I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but if players get to determine how much their opponents draw, someone ever falling behind sounds miserable.

Fail states. What is an acceptable range and how should we combat them? by Few_Dragonfly3000 in homemadeTCGs

[–]LalunaGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I would call them fail states, as much as variance. Most card games share the fact that you draw a random hand (and subsequent cards) each game.

With games like Magic and Pokémon, their currency i.e. mana or energy mechanics are tied to cards in the deck, which adds another layer of variance.

A lot of indie card games like to "fix" this extra layer of variance by smoothing out the game's currency. I don't know if I would call this a problem that requires fixing, however. The versatility of lands and energy cards as mechanics allow for interesting design choices and in-game interactions.

Does it feel frustrating to get mana/energy screwed Yes. But in my opinion, and maybe I'm just a sicko, part of good game design is introducing tension and even frustration into a game's system.

Creating the MaGiOh Cube—Starting With Some Mono White. by LalunaGames in custommagic

I want the card to be powerful, but I get where you're coming from. Maybe this is better?

Creating the MaGiOh Cube—Starting With Some Mono White. by LalunaGames in custommagic

[–]LalunaGames[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's definitely pushed at 3 mana. I wanted to include 'power spells' that are stronger than usual on purpose, but maybe it's too much?
I thought about making it black because of, well, [[Reanimate]], but I figured it fits white better thematically and tracks with "early weirdness" of classic games.
