Card game prototype

[a_bertrand]

That should be part of the cubicverse game later on. It's a first rough prototype of a card game:

Top cards are the card of the opponent, while yours will be on the bottom side. On the left side you can "purchase" cards using energy. Each turn you gain some energy.

When you have resources like food, magic or death you can use them either against opponent cards or on yours.

After each turn press the "End Turn" button.

There is many more cards than the one you see yet, I will make a "deck editor" such that you can try with different combinations.

The AI is not all that smart either, and could be improved.

This is awesome! I have wanted to start on a card game many times. Very nifty.

Great work!

Very cool! So you are going to work this into Cubicverse to be an in-game card game, like the card games in Final Fantasy and Everquest 2?

Never played FF nor Everquest. But yes the card game should be integrated into cubicverse, letting you play against NPC or other players.

In both of those games, you can collect cards like loot, and then use them in a mini trading card game. In FF, you play against the computer, and in EQ2, you play against other players. You can trade cards, win cards from winning games, etc.

Well then... I see it's not really a new idea as I had basically that in mind.

It may not be new, but it is a good idea. I think there is a lot of different interactions with it to explore, such as weaving the cards more into the regular world gameplay. No other game I am aware of has done that. For example, the cards could double as usable gear or gear enhancements in the regular Cubicverse, but then they function in their normal capacity inside the card game and could be won or lost in the card game. A very, very good card for the card game is also a powerful item in the regular world, so choosing to use the card in the card game can give you a big advantage but can be risky since you could lose it.

I don't know if that works at all in your idea, but I hope it at least shows that just because the idea has been done before doesn't mean there is no new ground to explore.

That's a really good looking prototype! Keep it up!
