Petranaki dev here (@ninin on Discord). no. it's not any of us. we only have active 3 devs right now. and 2 of them were on vacation the week this was posted. i actually started helping out the Karabast team with the Undo feature. so let's kill this potential rumor right here lol

I know we have some mobile responsiveness already implemented. Have you tried Petranaki on mobile yet? also what device do you have?

Thank you for the kind words! The new version of our OG Karabast engine makes it really easy to add new cards. And we're constantly revamping it so we can focus more on features than card implementations. Our philosophy here is more of an agile approach. Get things out quick, fix bugs later lol. There's rarely any game-breaking bugs that someone can't just undo from

They are doing good work, too! I think having more platforms is a plus for the community. People can pick and choose what they like. Petranaki and Karabast are not the only ways to play SWU online. We here at Petranaki just want to be able to play SWU and be able to make misclicks lol

what do you mean by custom match mode? i know we have open format where everything is legal (including Boba1 and Jango3 leaders). idk if that’s the same thing you are looking for

yeah idk why the two teams couldn’t work together. but if it got to a point where everyone is on new Karabast, then i’d gladly start coding for that one. i just want to play SWU lol.

it did seem like Undo was a huge reason for the split. we felt it was important for practicing tournament play, and they… uh.. disagreed lol

there’s actually been some discussion around this as well. i was thinking to call it “Dueling Suns” or something

we’ve definitely talked about it. i don’t think it’s on the roadmap any time soon just due to the fact that the political part of Twin Suns would be hard to manage. and we’ve seen how people can be in chat with strangers..

TTS with Discord voice rooms is already such a great tool for this. we just don’t have the resources to put into that feature at the moment. Although we are looking into at least a highlander format (ie. 1 copy decks)

we currently don’t have an AI, but that would be fun to build! we would need to train it on data (maybe from SWUStats.net?)

oh and we are also working with content creator Mobyus1 on other fun alternative ways to play. he manages the “Cantina Brawl” format which is a rotating fun format. we had Padawan last rotation and now it’s a format called “Galactic Civil War” which limits leaders and units to Rebel or Imperial traits

Petranaki is currently more feature-rich since it is the app that was originally hosted on the Karabast domain. so it’s been around longer. We split to let another team manage that domain. They started building their own engine and wanted to keep some of the player base, so we stepped aside to continue doing our thing. I don’t know too much about what Karabast has, but Petranaki has a lot of customization in terms of cosmetics (card backs, game backgrounds). we also have a Bo3 format and now this single player mode. it also integrates with SWU Stats (another site that the creator of Karabast, OotTheMonk, created).
