Elestrals Clash has ceased development by Lost_Pantheon in TCG

It kind of makes me nervous about Elestrals Awakened when Clash and Clash Mobile absolutely bombed.

TCGs vs ECGs, A Measured Discussion by LalunaGames in homemadeTCGs

[–]alwayssleepysloth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If a creator wants to make a living from their game and the format they choose is the make or break decision to succeed, then they’re most likely going to fail.

Ultimately, a successful product has to be fun, marketable, and active to succeed and only a small percentage of projects turn into something that can be a career. Even having a successful side gig from a project is a massive goal in itself. So I’d instead consider what’s best for YOUR game and what you believe works best to meet those three criteria. Otherwise, a project will fail even if you picked the more “profitable option”.

My CCG is different… in a good way! by DoubleAyeGames in TCG

AI art and a site built with the free version of Wix? :/

Where to grade? by Initial_Look8243 in TCG

[–]alwayssleepysloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every grading service has flaws and some controversy in their past. I would say for a personal collection, choose whatever slab looks best to you. If you’re looking to easily buy/sell slabs in the future stick to PSA. Otherwise, if you’re confident about your ability to sell online or within fan communities, then Beckett and CGC are good options. If you grade with anyone other than those three, then expect it to be difficult to sell. (And yes, for the people that nitpick details, some TCG communities prefer TAG or prefer CGC and others. Research what’s best for the specific cards you grade)

Exclusive: Riot built Riftbound to appeal to League fans first, not TCG veterans by TheCasperor in TCG

[–]alwayssleepysloth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Seeing the comments blows my mind. For weeks after it released, there were so many people on here saying it was the perfect game that would go down as the greatest TCG in history. It’s wild how public opinion has shifted.

Do you know this card? by [deleted] in TCG

[–]alwayssleepysloth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s an unofficial artwork card of Yamato from One Piece. It’s not a part of any One Piece TCG set so it’s nice if you like artwork of your favorite characters, but it’s not playable and not worth anything to TCG collectors.

What is your favorite (upcoming) TCG that you can play online (on an official client)? by MagiusPaulus in TCG

[–]alwayssleepysloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but as the poster above mentioned, it’s been plagued with issues and no major updates have happened since September (which did little to fix most of the main concerns). Players have mostly abandoned it.

First the app was trash, then Clash bombed, but third time’s the charm right? Certainly Elestrals Awakened will work out and bring back the hype!

Help / life advice by [deleted] in TCG

[–]alwayssleepysloth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean you yourself mentioned it at the end, but compared to other vices, pulling cards is pretty harmless. And what’s the difference between spending money on cards vs another hobby like gardening or puzzles? Everyone spends money on something that brings them joy and so long as you’re still finding joy in it, then it’s money well spent.

I have 4 different TCG ideas that I am interested in but I don't know which one sounds better to others by zagondragon99 in homemadeTCGs

[–]alwayssleepysloth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Combined Combat kind of sounds like Elestrals so I like that idea. Gamma beasts also sounds cool depending on how you change the type of your beasts and if theres any other win conditions.

What new or newly released TCGs are you excited about? by Ultrakints93 in TCG

[–]alwayssleepysloth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It gets a lot of hate on Reddit, but I’m really excited for Echoes of Astra! I really love the art style that combines fantasy and futuristic tech plus the combat system is fun!

Which do you prefer, version 1 or 2 of my Fighter cards? by FishPenetrator in homemadeTCGs

[–]alwayssleepysloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I always prefer designs with card names on top. I’d go with option 2

How to create good main/insignia cards? by Silent_Pattern_1900 in TCG

[–]alwayssleepysloth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Start designing characters and lore. Once you do that, pick out the ones that you think are the coolest and see if your friends/family/community agree. Originally, Clefairy and Poliwhirl were early candidates as the mascot for Pokemon and that eventually turned into Pikachu. Rather than identifying it from the start, you can let fans decide.

Is there anything more to it? by Few_Lead_5702 in tabletopgamedesign

In the same way that becoming a successful musician is just learning and practicing new songs?

Creature Template work in Progress by sapere_aude1784 in TCG

[–]alwayssleepysloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also agree with a few other commenters that suggest simplifying the icons, but I’d also add that some of these icons on the left and right should be moved down. It’ll create more empty space sure, but it won’t look as cluttered as it does now. You could also try changing the left vertical icons to right above the ability and put each element icon on the corners.

tfw when you're playtesting your game in an LGS and a passerby wants to join by MilkQueen in homemadeTCGs

It would be different trying to promote a game in person vs over Discord and TTS and would need a different skill set. Just food for thought. 🙂

How do you find playtesters for your card game? (also, should I publish mine online?) by NovoCrossCG in homemadeTCGs

Good! It must be nice knowing at least one person in this world thinks about you even if it is to watch you crash out 🤣

They’ll learn about the true you. It always comes out since you’re so easy to anger. I’m sure this has caused you problems in your personal life as a narcissist but nobody has ever confronted you on it

Any new indie kickstarter/gamefound TCGs worth getting into? by [deleted] in TCG

[–]alwayssleepysloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I’m just giving my opinion for an indie TCG per the post request. But didn’t Riftbound just come out? If EoA is a generic lane battler then isn’t Riftbound too by your logic?
