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:

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!

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

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!

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 👋

Pixel Card Wars: How gamedev proceeds (hand design)

I've added a new procedurally generated room: the wizard office #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #screenshotsaturday #roguelike Beware not to touch its belongings!

Not a mockup

Completing the board

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.
