Devlog #2 - Cards

Hey everyone,

This month we would love to cover one-two features that make us unique as a roguelite deckbuilding card game.

[h2]Combat System[/h2]


To kill or damage an enemy in our game, you will need to overpower your enemy attack point.

In this scenario, this bird has 12 attack points. Case 1 = After you play all your cards this turn, you have a total of “19” attack points.
When battle the bird will take 7 damage points. (19-12 = 7)
Case 2 = After playing all your cards, you end up with “2” attack points.
When battle you will take 10 damage points. (2-12 = -10)

Yep! In this game, we count all of your attack points and compare them to your enemy's.
Whoever has fewer attack points will take that damage.
So it'll either be you or your opponent who will take the damage. You can even beat the game unscratched if you can. ːsteammockingː

[h2]Cards[/h2]
Last time we talked about the "Move" card, mainly used for generating high damage points, now let's talk about "Skill" and "Equipment" cards.

Skill Cards
It doesn't generate attack points but instead provides you utility in combat.
Picking the right card will strengthen your overall combos and synergy.ːsteamhappyː

Equipment Cards
You can play equipment cards when your character level meets its costs. You will gain the card's ability until the battle ends unless you encounter the "Destroy" keyword and when destroyed your card will return to your discard pile. You can still play it again when drawn.

Do not worry about leveling up your character. It is worthwhile and easier than you think.

FAQ about our Level and Action points.

What benefits do you get when leveling up?
- Your "Move" card generates more attack points.
- You can play the "Equipment" card.
- Some card abilities will also be upgraded after you reach a specific level

Will the level up last forever?
- Nope! Each time you encounter a new monster your level will reset to level 1.

How to level up your character?
- It costs 5 Action points to level up.

How do you gain action points?
- Relics or cards. You earn your action points from cards you draw or relics you own. You may earn 0-100 action points in one turn, wholly depending on how you build your deck and the relics you pick.
- You get to keep all your action points, it won't disappear at the end of the turn.

[h2]This cover some concept/ideas of our game design.
[/h2]Hopefully, you will look forward to our gameplay and our trailer.
Next time we'll cover our world Setting and theme.
Thank you for reading, and as always have a wonderful day. ːsteamthumbsupː
