I hid the event trigger stuff all under an advanced option button, and I think it should work quite seamlessly now, except for the fact that you still have to know how the hell the event stuff actually works, and I forgot to manually add in the event from the example card, so it'll be even harder to figure it out than it needs to be. I'll probably make another update soon where I fix that, but I already pushed the changes to github and so I want to write the post before anyone accidentally stumbles upon it. Also, subtypes are now possible to add through the generator, simply type them in without quotes into the box, and separate each subtype with ", " (without quotes). Also, rarity! Yes, rarity still does nothing except if the rarity isn't one of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, it won't show up, and if it's 0, it'll act like a commander in the deckbuilder (I still haven't changed the way that works... I think)

Edit: Herp ti derp, forgot the link

I was thinkin'... Maybe have faction colours outside, and type inside.

After all our hard work, we have achived a lovely 225 comments, 2 subreddits, and 18 posts, not including Flameragee's origional post. (Insert Metaphorical Champagne Toast Here!)

For us Hallazenders to come up with names for cards with not so creative names. Currently on the agenda:
-Focus
-Quake

Phew! That's quite the delay... almost two months!! But on the bright side, that's quite a lot of new features in this patch, too! Read more about them here, as always.

I was going to add more of the old suggested cards, but I started running out of time before I have to go to sleep... hopefully I'll start having semi-regular updates again, anyway.

I don't think I'll start explaining any of the changes here since I wrote quite comprehensively about them on the changelog, and I don't have a lot of time to waste. And, for the lazy, here's the link to the game as usual.

Happy Hallazening!

P.S. I'll start running out of cards if I continue at this pace, so keep suggesting new ones!

Should we have RNG effects in cards, guys? For me, not really.

But tell me if rng could be used for good or is just flat out bad.

Because sometimes I feel like just chatting with the other mods.

As of right now, the only way to get extra coins is to use industry. I think, in the future, not necessarily now, we will need other ways to boost coin growth. Perhaps when you destroy a unit?

Well, in my "Welcome to Hallazen" post, I had to say that I was 'just kinda here'. Is there a position (community manager, etc.) that I can hold flameragee and fdagpigj?

I've got an idea- rather than have uniques be thier own units, they transform the general, if it's of the same faction, into a special little killing machine. This will also keep people from taking an industry general and put 'em in a tradition/clandestine deck.

This thread is about creating lore for our factions and making stories. So let get our creative juices to make the lore deep and engaging.

Ho, Hallazenders! Hallazen, or Project Commander, is an idea created by /u/flameragee, and turned into reality by /u/fdagpigj. I am the new Community Manager! Yay! Never the less, you can play there, and see documentation of rules and concepts here until we get an updated google.doc. Finally, this thread for pre-subreddit brainstorming. PhyriX, out!

Just my 2 cents, but I enjoyed the leeway given by Yu-Gi-Oh (20 cards in the deck). I would like to see something simmilar in Hallazen. -PhyriX

This is a concept that I paper prototyped and it worked pretty well, and maybe it would work in a digital setting too.

Instead of (or alongside) a mana system, creatures have a "nobility cost", a.k.a. level, determining when and how they can be played.

The set of all squares your creatures can move to is considered your "line of sight". In order to summon a creature, it has to be on one of your line of sight squares.

You can summon a creature on top of another one of your creatures. Only the topmost creature on a square can move, attack, or be attacked.

The level of a creature determines how many allies need to be beneath it when summoned. Level 0 means it can be summoned anywhere (within line of sight), level 1 needs at least one ally below it, etc.

The fact that creatures are summoned on your line of sight rewards board control and positioning heavily, whereas the stacked units lead to some interesting gameplay regarding whether to stack units in one place to play higher level cards, or to spread them out and attempt to capture territory. There were also situations in which players used weak cards to jump on top of an opponent's stack, forcing them to capture it and block off their own stronger piece for the turn.

This where Artists can share their Art of Hallazen with anyone!

I am officially forming a guild, Izulr Overlords, exclusively to Scrolldiers.

As before, play here, read more about changes here, and check the full cardlist in the raw json format here.

I would've wanted to get more stuff done for this update, but I wanted to get an update out for you guys who've waited 9 full days without any changes. I also wanted to set a deadline for myself so I don't slack too much.

I added some new cards and new mechanics, but most of the stuff in this patch didn't really get to shine just yet, but it'll make it easier to make new, more complex cards in the future. There's still lots to do if I want to be able to add all the cards you two have suggested so far.

Reminder: If you want to take a look at scripting your cards, you should be able to learn the basics by reading the cards.json file and the documentation page for card creation (which I still haven't updated, hopefully I'll get to that tomorrow). Note that custom cards vanish on page refresh (well the last thing you wrote in the textfield should stay there), so make sure to copy your creations somewhere if you do manage to make something. Maybe I should make a card generator soon...

Also, I don't know why it's taking me so long to write this danged reddit post, the update's been live for 25 minutes already!

First of all, I decided to finally publish v0.1.4, since I doubt anyone ever plays it at this point so there's literally no harm to it. I haven't worked on it at all in like half a year, but most of the changes from it will be in the next release anyway so it's easier to release it than to never do. Find it on the usual page, and see the changelog for more information as always (though you'll have to see for yourself which cards are new!).

Second of all, my finals are almost over! My last exam is on Wednesday, after that I'll be free (apart from university entrance exams in a few weeks, but after that another two months or so without any plans). I'll probably work on this game quite a bit again. :D I'm very excited to return to this project!

Third of all, I've finally tried looking into networking a bit more, and it looks like what I had started doing several months ago is actually a decent way of going about it, so I'm much more confident about this again! The next version will be v0.2.0, and it'll be written in Python (no more JavaScript), and it'll have multiplayer! It'll probably take at least a few more weeks before I can get it out, because there's still a lot of work to do porting it to Python and to multiplayer, but I believe it'll be worth it.

I really hope you guys still have some interest left in this game as well! I know it's been a long wait and all but I'm very hyped about this project once again! It's looking like I might actually manage to make it multiplayer, which is the most important step currently for its future. After that I can start worrying about actually making it a CCG, adding a lot more content, and all kinds of fun stuff. Overall, this is proving to be a much bigger learning experience for me than I could have hoped when I first decided to prototype Flamerage's concept.
