I'm designing a digital card game and want to give players who played similar games a quickstart / rules overview in case they don't like guided tutorials. Does this 1-pager convey what the main mechanics of the game are and how it might be played? #gamedev

An old UI prototype (pure html, css, js) for a virtual PC for a game jam from years ago. Does this have potential for a detective game in the vein of Her Story, Golden Idol, Obra Dinn, Roottrees are Dead? #indiegames #gamedev

#gamedev After listening to Sarah Shipp's latest advice on theming (on the Ludology podcast) I'm trying my hand in writing a more thematic description for my card game. Old vs. new below. Any feedback and criticism to improve welcome!

Gifs are nice for preview, but nothing more.
I actually prefer individual .png files (I use imagemagick to quickly split up any spritesheets so it's not really an issue)

Thanks! Turns out getting noticed in the card game / roguelike genre is a challenge, so I'm happy with every WL (even the deleted ones, I mean, they actually bothered clicking TWICE!)

Custom ability "Cleave Attack" created in-game in Card Coder

Custom ability "Cleave Attack" created in-game in Card Coder

A custom ability I just drafted in-game in Card Coder.
I think it's a good sign that I'm starting to enjoy playing the game as much as I enjoy developing it :) Steam link:

Card Coder – Σε αυτό το Card Battler θα παίξουμε με τα δικά μας χαρτιά! Στο Card Coder, το καινοτόμο Deck-Builder, θα παίξουμε όπως ακριβώς θέλουμε, προσαρμόζοντας στο προσωπικό μας στιλ τη συμπεριφορά και την εμφάνιση των χαρτιών της τράπουλας.…

Το Card Coder είναι ένα Roguelike Deck-Builder/ Card Battler, διαφορετικό από οποιοδήποτε άλλο game του είδους κυκλοφορεί τώρα στην αγορά! Ο Maximilian Scherer, καθηγητής Πληροφορικής και #indiedev, το αναπτύσσει βασιζόμενος σε μία πρωτοποριακή ιδέα.

Steam should increase the number of "Recent Reviews" from 10 to 20 or even 50. Right now, you can get the dreaded yellow "Mixed" label if just 4 out of 10 reviews in the last 30 days are negative. Though that is statistically perfectly normal for a "Very Good" overall rating around 85%. #gamedev
