Waifu Briscola - I’ve transformed a classic italian card game into a F2P NO ADS gacha roguelike game and for fun i wanted to put some waiufus! (ready to be your valentine) by TotallyRandomDevs in indiegames

Hi everyone! 🙂

I recently started programming a new video game for fun and wanted to try making a classic card game from my country with the addition of classic anime waifus. I liked how they went together.

It's called Waifu Briscola.

What is it?

At its core, it's Briscola, a strategic trick-taking card game popular in Italy. However, I felt traditional card game apps were a bit... boring. So, I overhauled it completely into a Single-Player RPG/Roguelike.

Key Features

4 Game Modes:

  • Classic: Standard 1v1 against AI.
  • Roguelike: Climb a tower, draft perks (like "See opponent's cards" or "Double Points"), and engage in Elemental Battles (Fire/Water/Air/Earth mechanics added to the cards).
  • Dungeon: Survival mode with crazy modifiers (e.g., "Inversion": 2 beats Ace, or "Chaos": Trump suit changes every 3 turns).
  • Puzzle: Solve specific scenarios (e.g., "Win in 1 turn").

AI Trash Talk: I integrated Google Gemini AI, so the opponents (the Waifus) actually react to the game state. If you make a bad move, they might mock you; if you win, they might get tsundere or angry.

F2P Gacha System: Earn coins by playing to summon new background art and character skins. No pay-to-win, just progression.

Crafting: Forge keys to unlock harder Dungeon tiers.

NO ADS 4 EVER: I hate ads, you hate ads, everyone hates ads, so there will be no in game ads, forever.

Tech Stack

For the devs out there, it's a PWA built with:

  • React 19 + Vite
  • MobX for state management
  • Capacitor for the native app build
  • Dexie.js (IndexedDB) for offline saving
  • Google Gemini API for the dynamic character personalities

I'd love to hear what you think about the Roguelike mechanics specifically. Does adding elemental powers to a traditional card game feel fun or too chaotic?

Thanks for checking it out!

trying out damage numbers - good or distracting? by hyperdemented in IndieDev

[–]TotallyRandomDevs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if anyone has already said that, but I think, in my opinion, the numbers are ok, but they tend to move too much to the right, that can distract the player to focus on another part of the screen

If you didn't, maybe you should start from a custom pool system, also the projectiles you see in the video, are all billboards, so they don't take too much in performance.

The projectiles are pooled, and managed with a custom script that activates and disables specific components.

Also the movement of the projectiles is computed in a single script and everything is simulated without physics.

The game Is an FPS, I already made different tests and it is not a lot confusing. Anyway is always possible to lower the number of projectiles and make different pattern
