THIS THREAD WILL REMAIN HERE, BUT I WILL UPDATE THE DEFINITIVE ONE!
I HAVE MADE THE NEW ONE SINCE IT IS NOT A DESIGN PROJECT ANYMORE, IT IS REAL AND HAVE AN ETA FOR THE 1ST REAL CARD DECK!!!
TERRARIA CARD GAME? HELL YEAH!
Hi all, i'm pretty new in this forum but i'm playing Terraria since 2014! Woa, 4 years, damn its a lot of time yet!
I have like 1200 hours of play, and after all this time doing pew pew boom boom around the worlds, i had the idea for making a card game based on terraria.
My huge dream is to have the rights to fully print and commercialize this game when it will be finished, but i know this is hard to get true!
By the way, let me introduce this with just some few images of the 4 cards i've done.
DA SCREENS
DA RULES
Well, i have nearly done everything, but i'm not gonna push it until its finished and all good to go.
By the way here some info, just to let you know a little bit more then 0.
1 - The number near the little star on top-left corner is the Rarity. By the way, this number will be very important in the game itself too.
The Rarity will tell you if you can play or not the card, normally you can play a card
that have a Rarity Level from 1 to 6, for all the 6+ Rarity cards you will need an active Hardmode Card.
2 - Every card will have a number in the top left corner, this is just the number that identify the card, will have no effect in-game.
3 - The 2 numbers in the bottom right corner of the Unit Cards are the ATK (attack) value and DEF (defence) value.
The Research and Conditional Cards will have a "U" (Unit bound) or a "G" (General bound) letter, i will explain this later.
The Event Cards will always have a "E" that simply indicate their type.
4 - Every card will have themed background and borders, forest enemies will have forest backgrounds, ice enemies or snow will have snow backgrounds and so on, just like the screens.
In fact, some cards will have bonus or malus vs some other type of cards. This bonus must be specified in the Unit Card or in one of the Research Cards active, its not automatic.
5 - There will be 4 types of cards: Units Cards, Events Cards, Conditions Cards and Research Cards.
Unit Cards: those cards are the main one, you play them in the game field for attacking the opponent Unit Cards or Heart Points.
As explained, you can only play Unit Cards that have from 1 to 6 rarity level unless you have an active Hardmode Card.
Event Cards: this type of card is one time use, you play it and it will immediately take effect, the card is consumed after the usage.
Conditions Cards: this card will be played covered.
If the card have the "U" letter it must be played covered behind an active Unit Card.
When the requirements (the most common is when your unit is attacked or destroyed) are met, the Condition Card must be revealed and take its effect.
If this card have the "G" letter, is a General Condition Card and is played in the general game field, it will be activated in certain circumstance.
The Condition Card is destroyed when the effect has been activated.
Research Cards: this type of card is played to boost other type of cards.
It will have also the letter "U" if it must be played on an active Unit Cards or a "G" if you have to play it in the general field.
This card will be permanent unless there are specific instruction on it.
The Hardmode Research Card is permanent and its not reversible, once you play this card it will last since the end of the game.
(Thanks to @Pikachumania for the idea of the Hardmode Card)
For all the other info, i will explain them slowly, while posting new screens and things.
OTHER INFO
I hope you guys like this idea, i will do this anyway for me and my girlfriend and sister, i love terraria, i love pixel art and drawings, so its something that i like to do.
But, if this will have a good impact in the community, maybe i can realize the dream of making this really... real!
Thanks for you time folks!
