Days 1 and 2


I’ve made lots of progress the first couple of days - hopefully a playable demo soon. I’m sure everyone will notice the very obvious Magic-inspired gameplay.

Day 1

I managed to mock up most of the ui interactions and created some basic cards. Right now there are five mana types - mice, fish, and birds for the cats and graves and brains for the zombies.

Day 2

Mostly refactoring - I hastily hacked together things from yesterday. Seriously. Like, almost everything was stuffed into one coffeescript file. So today, I split everything out into related groups, so not quite one file per class, but related things are together. A much more manageable situation. Thanks to hastily stuffing everything into one file, I also coded everything in a very procedural way, so there was quite a bit of refactoring to move to a more object-oriented design. Oh, and the AI now (dumbly) plays cards.

Goals for Day 3:

  • UI interactions for ‘attack’ and ‘defend’

  • Hitpoint indicator

  • Combat logic

And I’ll leave you with this screenshot:

Hello my space friends! Now I added a space background to the ship. I love that space look but I still feel like stuff is missing. The lighting on the ship needs some improvements I think. Please tell me your opinion!

Distrust - HUMERUS (with dirty shade) Papyrus isn`t small. It's possible that I didn't draw him well, but he crouched down and bent towards us. I'm still bad at moments like this
