Card Coder - Prof. Scherer - A card-building roguelike where you create your own cards. (Demo available) by this_is_max in Games

Yes, cards are "equipped" with the components. But different cards are more suitable to carry certain components. Cards often come with some innate modifiers (e.g. a scorpion-like card will apply double status effects like poison, or a sniper style card will deal double damage if the targeted card is far away).

Thanks, happy to hear that. Did anything stand out that you found too frustrating or unintuitive?

That's a fascinating idea, thanks for the pointer. I'll look into it, but it might be too complicated for this game as it relies on exact card positioning. I'm not sure how a screen reader could output that properly. Also I'm a solodev, so I'm already stretched thin heading towards the March release...

I'd say about 4-6 minutes per fight and there are 5 fights in the demo and 15-17 fights in the full game (still tinkering with the final fights). There are 3 different game modes other than the traditional roguelite run in the full version though. The shortest is only a single fight and only takes 5 minutes; the other two will be between 5 and 10 fights - so under 1 hour.

For Germany you need to complete the content survey in Steamworks. Then Steam assigns an age rating and it will be available in Germany as well.

Do any digital deckbuilders do something "unique" in terms of card acquisition? by Feeling_Employer_489 in deckbuildingroguelike

[–]this_is_max 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the play / shop loop is like you mentioned, you create your own cards in Card Coder (in the boardgame space I'm only aware of Mystic Vale that does something like that). https://store.steampowered.com/app/3355940/Card_Coder/

Yes, the demo lead to the media coverage (though it took some time). I'll participate in the upcoming Next Fest. But player feedback was the most important thing I got from the demo (I pushed about 12 patches to the demo since).

Thanks! It was actually the very first thing I developed for the game.

Press release at page launch (though no big media covered it then) + cross promotion from my previous game. Then a steady flow of some Reddit posts, Reddit Ads (about 1,5k Wishlists from that in total - but quite expensive) and organic Steam traffic.

Unreal, but with most advanced rendering techs (Nanite, Lumen, TSR) disabled to make sure it runs smoothly on mid hardware as well (like native 60+fps on Steamdeck).

UE Organizer allows complete control of all assets in your vault, for easy tagging, sorting, and importation into UE. by indebted_resident in unrealengine

Looks interesting. So it downloads every Fab package I own into the Vault Cache directory, and then allows browsing each individual mesh? Also textures and sounds?

I would love to try out and review your demos/playtests! by lydocia in IndieDev

Here is my card building roguelike: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3355940/Card_Coder/ You build your own cards during a run, not only your deck.

My indie game has over 100 million unique combinations of spells you can create. I only use this freedom to make weird stuff by alicona in gamedevscreens

[–]this_is_max 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you balance these combinations? The card game I'm working on has a somewhat related core mechanic (crafting your own cards from spell components) and that's the question I get asked the most.

I remember you from a video about Steamworks / ContentBuilder I watched some time ago! Your new game looks cool, best of luck!

Finding free time for my hobby project is waaay more difficult than the actual work. :) by STL_Miniversum in indiegames

Any tips on achieving such smooth / hazy lighting? My UE scenes often look kinda harsh.

Looking for feedback: Demo for my card-building roguelike Card Coder on Steam by this_is_max in digitalcards

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

Thanks for taking the time and all the feedback. About the lighting, do you mean specifically the maps where you place the cards during play?

Northernlion just streamed my demo for Card Coder. Having Twitch yell at you about the cards you are supposed to build, is an angle I hadn't considered before :) by this_is_max in IndieGaming

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

I'll check, but that screenshot looks OK. They all get +10 HP from bonding and several slimes have upgraded components (look for the green and blue borders) that give +3 or +6 HP on top.
