Card deck game, based in a very popular one with some twists

I’ve been learning Godot and I’m loving it, very practical, easy to learn, I’ve been practicing VFX and now I decided to challenge myself to see if I can create a deck collector game based on a famous card game with some twists, different theme and characters, should be fun to play

I develop some lenticular lenses for those who like to inspect their card collections, otherwise there would be no animations:

Love a card game :slight_smile: Nice lenticular print, it really gives it a physical feel.

How far along are you? I’ve recently started making a card game, and it sure is a lot of work creating cards, artwork, text, code, and then balancing them :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

I use AI for everything, comfy.org for artwork creation, Claude for assisting in shaders and coding. For the cards I use a Viewport to overlay a 2D scene on the card shader, so, numbers text and icons are dynamically created, the cards have three images for the lenticular lenses, and a forth for the back, I have a CSV database for all the card metadata, I have a single card scene and the card has a CardId metadata 001..4xx that automatically sets the card images, properties and text.

Next I’ll program the rules of cards and perfect the overlay. I’m loving it, I hope to have a working demo in the next months.
