>>96315518OP here, sorry for disappearing, am back. Was busy with work on some competition. Thanks for all the interest!>Elemental is an online 1v1 card game where players build their decks and take turns playing cards from them. Their decks start weak, but they can improve them by buying better cards or removing weak ones. Each player also has some mana (used to play cards), gold (used to buy cards) and HP (if it reaches 0, the player loses). Some cards give gold, deal damage or restore HP, while others provide various forms of utility, shielding or buffs. Seven elemental dice determine the strengths of various cards: Chance, Fire, Earth, Water, Nature, Gold and Magic. They are rolled at the start and stay as they are. However, some cards can change the values of these dice, thus changing how strong other cards are.>Elemental scaling is Elemental's core unique mechanic that sets it apart from other games in the genre.>Many cards' descriptions have an element symbol instead of a number, e.g. "Deal Fire damage to your opponent". This means that the amount of damage dealt is equal to the current value of the Fire die. We say that this card scales with Fire. Note that the die is not rerolled when playing such a card.>This mechanic makes dice control (using cards that can change the values of the dice) crucial, as doing this can drastically change the strengths of other cards. One player might have a deck that is on paper 2x stronger, but if all dice it scales with are 2s, while all of the dice the opponent's deck scales with are 7s, the opponent is still stronger.Did some more work on the AI opponent since a lot of people seem to be playing against it.New gameplay showcase is now up: https://youtu.be/F1p0CdXhxBUAnd here is the itch.io page: https://indjev99.itch.io/elemental
Here is a screenshot of the bot cooking me.
Looks really interesting. I will check it out.
>>96480957Thanks.
Glad to see you back OP! How was your holiday weekend?
>>96483666I was in the scientific committee for the European Junior Olympiad in Informatics, so I was very busy with that. Which is also why I disappeared. So, not much of a holiday.
>>96479550What's next on the agenda for updates?
>>96479550Thought this was Elements: The Game for a secon and got excited. Oh well. Is this game any good?
>>96488871I will work on some UI stuff like prompts on what is going on, what you are selecting (cards to discard, etc.)That system should also be useful after that for an interactive tutorial, which also needs some backend changes, as it is not easy to do right now.>>96488946I've never played this Elements game, is/was it good?>Is this game any good?I hope so, hah.
>>96479550neataesthetically it's not very appealing to me but I'll give it a tryhow'd you develop this? Javascript and html or with a specific engine?
>>96479550What inspired this in the first place?
