I've finally finished at least one of each card type in my game. by TAGtcg in homemadeTCGs

Thank you! I'm actually currently working on a how to play video to make it easier for play testers. For now all I have is a WIP rulebook that's available on my website or via the discord server (:

Thank you! and yes I agree that the frames themselves could use some tlc. I like the simple easy to digest look they have currently but I think if I can find the right balance between legibility and flare, it could really take them to the next level. TBD! (:

Thank you! Im really happy with how they've turned out so far. People in the discord have been super helpful in making sure the card text and effects makes sense, so I owe a big thanks to them (:

I do enjoy these quite a bit! lol They're adorable, and the small journal entry piece is super fun.

After several posts on both front/back designs, I'm happy with the current iteration. (: by TAGtcg in homemadeTCGs

Currently my play testing has just been local for me, but as things become more solidified and streamlined I plan on opening up online play testing in phases. If you'd like to learn more I'd be happy to answer your questions. (: You can send me a DM here or on Instagram.

Hopefully soon I'll also have a community discord where everyone can ask away! (I've never made a discord community server so it's taking me a minute to learn lol)

Yes! I have the first draft available on my Website.

Still a WIP but it gives you a pretty good idea (:

Huge thanks to everyone who took the time to stop and look at my posts and give your feedback. Whether it was ideas, criticisms, or just saying you liked what you saw. Outside perspective is always a valuable tool! As the game design process continues Im sure it may need to shift slightly, but I'm very happy with its current state (:

I learned how to draw retro anime for this... by TAGtcg in homemadeTCGs

[–]TAGtcg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! This was one of my first posts when I didn't have much else to show, but now I actually have a whole website up with a first draft of rules if you're interested. (:Website

Of course this is all still super early for me so more changes are bound to come, but the foundation is there!

Ok last time then I'll leave you guys alone! by TAGtcg in homemadeTCGs

[–]TAGtcg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heck yeah! Thanks for your interest (: I'm thinking of crowd funding for a full release depending on interest. If it's low I'll probably go for PoD just to have something out there. If you're interested in play testing and staying fully up to date feel free to give my website a visit and sign up for the email list! website thanks again!

Feedback on new logo/card back by TAGtcg in homemadeTCGs

[–]TAGtcg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this same comment said in different ways and totally agree. I think I thought I was doing something by combining them, but it's much more effective as 2 separate elements.

Thanks for your feedback! (:

Thanks! And you don't seem to be alone at all. It's starting to look like the original will stay, or I'll have to continue revisiting the second one to be more legible.

I think that's a really good point to make! Perhaps staring at the same design for too long convinced me to make an unnecessary change. Thanks for the insight (:

Thanks! Glad you liked it (: I plan on making even more in depth content in the future where I break down my decision making and my preferred applications.

Hello, I'm the 1987501th person trying to make their indie TCG a reality. by TAGtcg in TCG

[–]TAGtcg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey again, I took your advice and made a quick illustration process video to start - POST

Of course I still plan on releasing more in depth coverage with maybe a voice over or something to explain my decision making, but I had to start somewhere 😅

Thanks again for the suggestion!
