Would be a better name than 'ding-dong-ditcher.' Maybe the DDD would be a better name for a creature that forces enemies to pass through a door to a location of their choice, forcing movement as they ring the doorbell to lure their opponent into answering the door.

New door card idea, Schrödinger’s catflap. You can only play it once you have two doors in play. It then occupies both locations simultaneously until you decide to use it or it gets attacked at which point you have to decide which of the two locations it occupies.

I think 2-element cards like in mtg would be a good idea to encourage interesting deck combinations - at least one card for every combination that requires lands of both elements to work or synergise with both - which will encourage whacky combination.

This certainly needs a robot element, something similar to crystal maybe? With the shatter and sacrifice things But focusing on building defenses, armor and shields. Also having a particular weakness that can skip their defences Edit: also this robot element could have a mechanic called "locks" "Firewall" or "paswords" as spells that could merge with the door element stuff.

maybe a ''scraps'' gimmick could work, like each time a bot dies you get a scraps card and when you have like 3 scraps you can use those to summon another basic bot, obviosly i'd make most robot creatures relatively weak to balance such a gimmick, this may mean you are defending by using bots as 'meat shields'

8:36 Okay two VERY important things to note about how fighting games stay balanced. #1: Universal Mechanics. When a game has strong universal mechanics, it helps keep the options open so you dont get stuck in no-win scenarios until we get into high level play, and even then, you can usually prevent them from happening. There will be characters that benefit from Universal mechanics more than others, but generally having universal defense/offense options help keep things well rounded. For a card game, this could be hard to do since your only option is to use stuff you have in your deck, so try to be careful. Maybe the worker placement/economy stuff can be where you can add a bit more counterplay but you might also run the risk of needing to use the economy in order to survive at a high level. Though to be honest, at a high level, I assume the economy would either be required or completely ignored regardless so theres alot of planning to do here #2: Characters can be balanced for different skill levels. If Im new to a fighting game, I might struggle against a character with really big buttons that dont require execution but then find out this character is actually bad at high level play because the work arounds are really easy. This is actually really common in alot of competitive online games with huge casts so if you hear a character is 'top tier', theres actually good odds that it wont matter to you as a beginner since what makes them good is likely related to high-execution or really optimized play; not beginner level 'im just hitting buttons.

I think a really easy way to make lands do a lot of things is have them interact with card tags or change how card tag interactions work. Lava land could buff all fire cards and give earth cards temporary fire tags or burn things or dream lands could cause intelligent creatures to hallucinate etc

as it stands there is precedence for this in the show too. "Pigs cant leave mud lands" Probably means all "grounded animals" or stuff cant leave mud lands And whatever the hell was going on with the Maze Walker hiding in the mud.

The crystal element could have on death abilities that create smaller cards that have minor or corner case uses. Then have other crystal cards that care about having a lot of stuff on the field. I feel like a crystal */* sized creature (where * = amount of crystal cards are on the field) would be fun. Crystal cards could even care about your opponent's crystal cards too.

@rando5673

I second this idea. Maybe there's a nesting doll situation where tier 3 cards shatter into 2 of the tier 2 cards, which each shatter into tier 1 cards. Balance it by making this behaviour random and making it so crystal element cards cannot be revived

I feel a good mechanic for lands would be that opponents can eventually attack and destroy lands. Meanwhile you can only cast spells in lanes that contain your active lands (might not work with certain spells). All creatures could be blooped to return a destroyed land. However since a creature becomes exhausted when moving into an occupied row this isn't easy. This means that you don't lose when you have no creatures but instead when you have no creatures or lands, since you can't continue the battle. This also adds uses to the pig and bald man. Being better able to attack lands and wander into adjacent lanes without being exhausted would be incredibly valuable.

In the show, we see a creature destroy an adjacent land. Since he is making a show-accurate game, he will likely add this at some point.

Glad we’re getting some dore and I loved helping with the creative process!

I don't know what to say ... is fun to play, the flavour and theme of the cards is amazing and still you were able to create a new way to synergize cards togheter in a fun and very fitting way!

WE MUST HAVE A KERFLOGGELBOGGEL!! it can be like the geico lizard but it walks on all fours, bigger eyes, and can’t tailk

This is so creative and awesome, I'm really happy with how this game is developing so far. It's almost like you're making all of the right choices

Cant wait for this to finish and watch it go viral!

I do love the idea of modular deck building. The game Card Hunter is an interesting exploration of that. It’s a D&D style deck builder where your characters’ decks are determined by their gear, with each piece of gear adding cards to their deck. It has a similar philosophy where some gear puts 6 ok cards, while another may be 4 ok cards, 1 amazing card, and 1 actively bad card. It’s interesting and makes me think of deck construction in ways I haven’t had to before.

I really hope that you expand on the corn element next, that way the people (me included) who loved watching Jake play the game, are able to replicate his insane ranting about how the game is supposed to go when things go bad for him.

Your approach to the land balance reminds me of Radlands, where stronger lands give you a smaller starting hand (and vice versa). They even have a land that just self destructs at the start but gives you a lot of starting cards as compensation

Absolutely love the direction you went with doors! You have a real penchant for putting together interesting and creative mechanics, and this peek at the first real element has me feeling very confident about what the rest of this game will have in store

After biblaridion’s alien biospheres series, this is my most exciting series / project to watch. Amazing work, engaging videos, can’t wait to see more

Placing doors onto the field was a great idea. Your slow and steady progress with this game is incredible to watch some days will be faster than others but that's okay especially now that you've started making the actual elements. The ups and downs in IT or game development are at weird times compared to other fields so never doubt yourself and keep making progress towards your goals.

Are you planning to use the actual four elements Candy, Slime, Ice and Fire, from the lore? If so, what would their strategies look like? I'd imagine Candy would focus on overwhelming your opponent with many small creatures. It could have creatures that buff each other the more of them there are, or land abilities that incentivize creating massive hordes or underlings Ice would probably be pretty defensive, focusing on limiting and de-buffing your opponent until you're eventually able to wear them down Fire would of course favor aggressive gameplay. It could have mechanics that let you sacrifice your creatures to deal a lot of damage or make it easier to destroy your opponent's lands And maybe Slime could have abilities and features that let you combine all your creatures into one really powerful one. These are just some ideas off the top of my head based on what we see in the 'Elements' mini-series.

@JammyJam5588

5 күн бұрын

To be fair "Frozen lakes" is probably "ice" as is. Torpor may overlap with Slime too.

Great concepts here man! I think corn should be next though, as it is the most well known element in Card Wars. Has more work done for you.

There for sure needs to be a "Lards" element. You know, like the Sea Lards, Space Lards, Greed Lards, Wolf Lards, Angler Lards, and other such "iconic" names from the series. The element could revolve around generic "Lard" cards that transform into different special lard types. You could even do something like having a super strong lard creature that, when played, turns all of the other Lards into useless "Crud lards" or something.

just an idea for a single card, a Golb card that gets more/less powerful the more/less types of cards in play, because he gets defeated by harmony maybe he is really powerful but only for a short time because every time a card of the same type as another card in play is played then he gets weak/closer to dying

It would be really funny and cool if there was a door car that was like a guy with Battering Ram destroying a door. Do you remember that Fairy Oddparents episode on which the parents keep destroying their kids door and saying "I respect your privacy by knocking but asserting my authority by coming in anyway"? You could call the card "the Knock Knocker".

I’m super okay and even excited by the idea that each land type adds its own set of bad cards to your deck when ever you choose them or at least has a chance of adding them. It’s a lot of fun trying to figure out how to use bad cards and the start scope of power level in card in the play test has been a lot of fun. I’d even be okay with really annoying ones like cards that you have to play if they’re in your hand or are chaotic and can do things you don’t want them too etc

The doors element could focus on adjacency and teleportation while the lizard element focuses on teleportation and aggression. There are only so many aspects to the strategy of gameplay, some elements are going to have to diversify their focus or overlap with others. You might have one element that’s purely aggressive, while another element is a hybrid between aggressive and economic for example. Each aspect of the game shouldn’t be exclusively focused into a single element. You could even have an idea of primary/secondary attributes for each element. Element A and B could both have a focus on economy and adjacency, but element A prioritizes the economic side while element B prioritizes the adjacency side of things. You could say from a design/development standpoint each element has a primary focus, in the case of element A it would be the economy, and a secondary focus, in A’s case adjacency. And any elements that only have one focus would just have that as their primary and secondary effects. Going off the doors, their primary focus is on adjacency with a secondary focus on teleportation, and because teleporting is only a secondary part of the element, it involves the use of doorways instead of unrestricted teleportation, which would be more teleporting than an element with no focus on it would have.

woah awesome designs! Im pumped to see where this project will be in a few years

This is by far my favorite yt channel atm

Honestly some elements having similar general focus but different applications seems in line with canon too. So Doors>Lizard Holes matching fits Corn and Wheat seem like one of those kinds of elemental compliments too, as does potentially Acumen and Learning, or who knows maybe some other combo too. Lizard holes could be focused on more permanent land modifications too, creating passages between spots that let maybe even ALL units access things through the hole. Naturally the "hole connection" would probably need to be a touch different from Adjacency, maybe even letting units attack through holes directly instead or some kinda hole network nonsense. With the downside being that you cannot exclusively make use of the holes (but you ofc have better comboes with them)

I feel like the idea of the door element focusing on ,,adjancenty'' is GOOD, you just need OTHER elements to synergize with it. Like imagine a card with a *really* powerful effect, but it only works on adjacent tiles, so in order to get the most value out of it, you run a door element land instead of a copy of that element. Door would basically be a support element, that doesn't define anything by itself, but supports other elements greatly.

I feel like you need the four elements seen in the universe of the show: Candy, slime, fire and ice. And maybe Lumps too?? I feel like these are key to the show and would fit well.

5:41 As someone who was a fan of Undercards and Old Old Chess Battle Advanced, this is incredubky cool!

for balancing mixed element decks if they get out of hand you could employ something similar to what hearthstone did with the deathknight class. You make cards that require at least to have some X amount of lands of a certain type, and/or some Y of another type. This way, you can potentially make a powerful card that can only be included in decks with 4 doors for example, without worries of it being too op in a mixed deck

I am in love with the card ideas so far for doors. Hinge butterfly is wonderfully creative, and the doormatory is a lovely play on words.

Cristals could work in that they can be Shattered, Cleaved or Cracked, depending on how much damage they receive or the source of what destroyed them, and the effects from their destruction would vary. For example, you could have a "Volatile Cristal" that if Cracked (Cracked state would be receiving a certain amount of damage withouth the card dying) the card can be flooped in order to deal a large amount of damage to other cards or outright destroy lands or structures, but if instead the card is cleaved (Damaged just enough for it to die) or Shattered (Damaged with more damage than it would be necessary for it to die, or killed by an effect) the card would have no effect or even could deal damage to the player that controls it or that owns the land the card is on. This way the cards can be high risk/high reward, with spell effects that mitigate or increase damage in order to get the effects you want, or they can have several different uses, like having a card with negative effects that can be passed to the opponents side and that if shattered would damage them. Also I really enjoy your videos on this game, seeing the entire process is very fun and interesting.

Im really starting to like this now. I was worried for a bit that it wasnt going to be overcomplicated enough. Cause i feel like a certain constant level of confusion over whats going on, feels like a key part of card wars.

Im genuinely making a card game like this irl with paper index cards and a 3d printer, its so fun! Always here for the devlogs!

Technical analysis, card theory, and a threat on my personal PC! Great video Holes!

Doormatt it's a door named Matt with little arms and legs and hair, they function as a door, but can move to other lands, including adjacent ones creating mind games

To ensure two elements done account for each other’s weaknesses, use a rock paper scissors style design! E.g. door village sures up corn, corn sures up marsh, marsh sures up a 4th land, and the 4th land sures up door village

I love how consistent you are with uploads like I can always expect a new update and that just makes my day :)

I think there could be a spell for the corn deck called “reap what you sow” which could do something like giving you a good number of little creatures that exist for the turn or some some such.

A deck set i would be interested in seeing made into a full item would be blacksmiths. Which would focus on defensively protecting their land cards to forge spell and equip cards right to their hand regardless of the players hand. But in turn would be balanced around their units being more passive walls then offensive fights, long as they lack material to craft offenses with

Yu-Gi-Oh! Does have elements about adjacency and columns, specially since the introduction of Link Monsters, but its ultimately something that except for very particular interactions, like "Infinite Impermanence", it doesn't matter all that much. That said, it was an element that was introduced fairly late in the game, instead of being something conceived from the start, so you have a better chance at giving it its own niche. Doors look pretty neat

one cool card for adjacency archetype could be a combo piece that makes "All lands are considered adjacent to one another"

When it comes to overlapping mechanics with different sorts of themes in card games, it's never that much of a problem to have just one or two cards with a somewhat adjacent mechanic to another card type/theme, especially if some reference to that other type is present.

I like where this is going so far! looking good.

Love the name "Ding Dong Ditcher" ❤

Tysm, I’ve been waiting for someone to do it for YEARS

Love the vibes of this element. I thought of some potential card names just based on puns. The a-door-able cat Truth-or-door At death’s door The possibilities are endless!

i just wanted to say that this game you are making is a dream come true to me. thank you very mutch for making this game

This is amazing! I was worried while watching it that doors would overpower the game but I love the idea that they are just one of the many elements and each element has it's own unique abilities!

For crystals, it could be nice to have effects that kill and reanimate other creatures to trigger their death effects, or ways to grant extra death effects to your creatures.

this is really interesting the hinge butterfly and hingemouth kinda fill the role of troop carrier and you normally only see those in real time strategy games

i was hesitant about the out cards at first but wow they work incredibly well, just starting you off with synergies is a lot of fun

New door card (probably) "Door Maniac". he has the ability to create a door whenever at the cost of his movement and can choose to disengage from a fight by traveling through a door without the need to create one to escape at the cost of his movement. so he can either choose to make a door anywhere at the cost of his movement OR run away at the cost of his movement but not both in one turn. he also has the added bonus of not destroying doors when he travels through them.

I love to see this become a real game, I check in on this guy's video for a few mins to see and confirm that, yup! he's doing a great job of making this into a REAL GAME and not some wish knock, I horking love adventure time.

Hey there, just so you know - the card game Fluxx has an official Adventure Time version, which includes a "Floop a Keeper" card: "Discard one of your Keepers to also discard one of an opponent’s Keepers and to take a card at random from that player’s hand and add it to your own. This is called flooping. If the Keeper you discard to floop is Mr. Pig, discard ALL of the other player’s Keepers and take ALL of the cards in that player’s hand." idk if this is useful information for anything but it's an official definition of flooping, at least for Fluxx.

You should add a card that forces your opponent through one of their doors. This way you set a trap with your cards by that door and ambush them. Maybe a random door or maybe a door of your choosing.
