Started working on a new debug window that allows me to view all existing card assets in the game, their data, and add them to the players hand.
Next steps: search bar, an option to override card level before granting and UIX improvements!

Melee combat targeting is tricky to get right. Are you trying to make the game appeal to as wide of an audience as possible or is there a niche you want to engage with that prefers challenging combat focused on positioning?

One of the challenges for my game is understanding the cognitive load that players have to balance between deck building/card activation synergies and real time mechanics of melee combat.

On tonight's stream, and thanks to the help from our chat, we were able to get the card spacing to work well based on the amount of space and cards present in the hand! We also managed to hook our gameplay logic back into the cards themselves #gamedev #gamedevelopment #madewithUnreal #UnrealEngine
