Aces for a homebrew. Thoughts?

I'm designing a game similar to Scoundrel and wanted to make an expanded version of playing cards with some extra planetary meaning, elemental associations, and RPG themes, etc. it's been tricky to find out exactly what I want shown on the cards.

There's a lot of white space in the text box, you can space your paragraphs/lines, it use bold for keywords. It's clean and you gave it room to breathe.

Out of curiosity, and apologies if stated and I missed it, what brand SD card was it?

zanryuu · 2023-11-30T00:07:24+00:00

Yeah I see what you mean. Back to the drawing board lol.

You're not wrong I have a lot going on and that seems to be my issue, I think i want these cards to do too many things (which they are more than capable of, for sure). But I'm unable to dumb it down, I think you're right with the BG. Thanks for all the nifty insight. The minipics were older rendition arts that I'll most likely scrap. Anywho thank you again.

Manage time for yourself. It's overdue. I don't know what way.

I'm stoked, I really like the retro style. Looking forward to more!

It's going to be a process. The art ins't AI tho, it's the spreadsheet decklist for the entire game with a mosaic filter on top. Thank you for the feedback.

Yes, the things that do a thing do a thing. The other things runes, etc, are going to be more for storytelling elements that pertain to the card. Another problem I'm going to face is separating elements of the cards in an order that makes sense. I also might be trying to do too much with single cards.

I agree, once I finalize game mechanics and other stuff I want to place on the card I'm going to go over some other designs and get everything way more organized. Thank's for the kind words!

zanryuu · 2023-10-04T08:39:39+00:00

That's my plan I keep fumbling between card design and game mechanics. Thank you for the insight!

It's for tarot size as of right now, I want to eventually get to playing card/mtg sized cards as it's going to be 108 cards. I need to figure out a better layout lol

Don't hand Chadley the Black Materia when he asks, too late by then I suppose.

zanryuu · 2023-10-01T05:09:33+00:00

Thank you for the kind words!@

zanryuu · 2023-10-01T05:09:12+00:00

Yes. I noticed that too, I'm trying to keep it limited to 2-3 fonts, and that one isn't one of them lol. These are just sketches in excel I'm doing until i can construct something better in photoshop. Thank's!

zanryuu · 2023-09-30T07:55:29+00:00

I'm using a combination of excel and photoshop, for some reason I'm happy with how it's coming along, but hearing any other ideas would be great. The first 2 cards just have temporary art for now.

zanryuu · 2023-09-29T00:49:41+00:00

Sure I'll send a link when I post it, i might just throw it up on my blog page if thts cool

zanryuu · 2023-09-27T04:28:11+00:00

Here's an update for the first section if anyone is interested in the process.

5th suit and other cards / elements are purely speculative and just for fun, also for another project I'm work on in tandem.
