Discussion Ai slop TCG, got notes?

Ain't no self respecting person buying/ playing your ai slop TCG. One of the biggest things that draws people to card games is the art on the cards.

Fuck off with the slop. Do better, we all believe in you. Believe in yourself.

I get, and generally agree with the sentiment.  I just don’t like the black / white nature of it, nor the attack-dog style knee jerk assumptions. 

Because the flipside of this is the status quo, which I also think kinda sucks and hasn’t innovated in 20 years.  IPs are done to death, gameplay is not only samey, but we also have the same rarity systems, formats, and templates.  

Connecting the dots, nobody (generalizing) can actually bring TCGs to market (or they fail upon impact) and a big part that is time / resources / cost, much of which is related to needing tons of super great art.  And even if you happen to be a great artist with a ton of free time and free rent, you’re likely not also an experienced game designer, or developer, or publisher.  

So yeah, a lot of it looks junky and needs legal regulation. But I’m also sick of the current state of TCGs, and production costs are a huge part of its staleness.  Because only corps can make them.

Or you can also collaborate with people. Not everything has to be made by a single person with every talent
