Pixel Card Wars: new cards: spells and items


Since my last update, I worked on the AI; improving it, and I added tests, to make sure the game doesn't crash. This doesn't sound like a lot, but it is! I can now simulate games by having two AIs play against each other, which is super cool development-wise. I can gather stats about balance and make sure the game is fast enough and (a part of it) doesn't crash. Unfortunately there's nothing to show visually regarding these topics 😸

I did however, add visual stuff. I added the support for spells and items cards. Here's a classic "Health" card:

and a less classic one called "Haste" that makes all creatures get a free attack:

Here's how it looks when dragging Haste to play it (unfortunately the card being dragged doesn't show in the screenshot, there's only the pointer 🤦‍♀️), Instead of being played on a single card spot, it's played on your part of the board:

Pixel Card Wars: How gamedev proceeds (hand design)

Creating the game's page on GJ, new team: Evil

I have created a page dedicated to Pixel Card Wars on GJ: https://gamejolt.com/games/pixel-card-wars/699977 I will continue documenting Pixel Card Wars development here! See you 👋

I'm adding skills as reward for beating dungeons #roguelike #indiedev #gamedev#screenshotsaturday #codesource. That’s part of the progression of the player, together with better items. There's a lot of them but it's quite easy to implement.

Completing the board

Back to indie dev...

Connecting levels: adding the world view 🗺️

I've revamped #monsters descriptions in my #roguelike. No more sentences, only tables :-) #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart I'll be easier to internationalize. Hope you like them!

My in-development cards game now has its own webpage on itch: https://hgames.itch.io/pixel-card-wars I think I'll ultimately post it on GameJolt, but devlog will only be on itch. Please follow it here!

During the last week, I've added traps. They can either be initially visible (early levels) or be noticed randomly when you walk by (later levels). Hope you'll like them!
