New Website in the Works!
Just wanted to let everyone know that we have a new, official website and forums in the works. We hope to have them up and running before the end of June.
Thanks for your patience!
Greenlit in 11 days! Ring Runner took us 399 days! o.O!
CARD CREATION: THE BASICS
Customize
- Choose a name, image, and card color for your ability
- You can add your own pictures or artwork!
Choose from hundreds of effects
- Combine more than one effect simply by adjusting sliders
- These include every type of effect you expect in a tactical, turn-based RPG from damage and movement to status ailments, buffs, and summons
Add Experience Points
- Experience (XP) is gained the old fashion way, beating up baddies!
- Adding XP to your abilities is one of the main ways your character progresses.
Determine the Activation Cost
- The more Active Points (AP) an ability costs, the more powerful it will be.
- Use as many abilities as you have AP for during a turn.
- AP is also used to move your character during battle, so be strategic!
Set the Range
- This determines how far the origin of an ability can be from you.
- Optionally, you can make the Range “restrictive,” meaning it will ONLY work at that distance to make your ability more effective.
Optional: Select an Area of Effect
- It’s as easy as taping blocks in our AE grid
- Create any shape
- Click and drag the origin to create cones, lines, and other shapes
- The grid is represented on the card itself in the main text area
Optional: Negatives / Conditions
- For instance, you can take damage when casting a “Chaotic Bolt”
- Or you can restrict a “Backstab” attack to only work when behind a target
- Negatives and restrictive conditions INCREASE THE POTENCY OF POSITIVE EFFECTS. (You can think of them as adding extra Experience Points)
- You can also add conditional enhancements. In this case, “Backstab” would deal additional damage from behind a target, but would also work from the front or sides
Now scribe it and you’re done!
- Abilities may only include a total of 5 effects, whether positive, negative, or conditional
- Sound and visual media will be automatically generated according to the effects chosen. However, you can customize this as well
- You can even add a line of text for your character to say when executing the ability
We’re preparing a video that covers all this. Expect it soon! ;)
