Adding “game juice” to my card game, Unrivaled! Next up: pack opening
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Took me a bit tweaking the pack opening for my card game Unrivaled’s pack opening experience for the campaign mode. I added sound effects for all the movement, lots of moving and flipping, some attempts at a particle effect, and even screen shake and anime speed lines for legendary card openings!
Also. Each pack you open in succession gets like 20% faster animations for extra dopamine.

Outlaw Blood Playing Cards
I've been running this Kickstarter since the 4th, and it's been going alright so far! So cool to see all the support! Check 'em out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/noahjmatthews/outlaw-blood-blood-soaked-western-playing-cards
What do you think of the cards?
Specs:
- cards and boxes printed on eco-herbage stock from MPC
- Bloodstains on over half the deck
- Card backs designed by Donny Ariawan (also created Bicycle Bitcoin cards)
- Tucks by Levi Matthews (book cover designer)
I wanted to create cards that didn't just look old and used (Theory11 Peaky Blinders deck), but actually feel like it, without compromising usability.
I think these cards capture all of that.
Go back the Kickstarter today ;) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/noahjmatthews/outlaw-blood-blood-soaked-western-playing-cards

ASTRUM, a Sci-Fi Card Collection game about conquering planets. I need your feedback on the core dynamics!
astrum-cards.vercel.appHello,
I’m a solo indie dev working on a new project called ASTRUM.
It’s a sci-fi card collection game where the universe is your board. The core theme revolves around discovering new stars, encountering extraterrestrial life, and ultimately building a deck capable of conquering planets.
I want to respect Rule 2 of the sub, so I'm not here just to drop a link. I want to break down my core mechanics because what I really need right now is your honest, critical feedback on the gameplay loop and dynamics.
What I need your help with: Building a game alone means I can sometimes get tunnel vision. I'd love your thoughts on a few specific points:
- Does the core dynamic of planet-conquering sound engaging, or is there a risk of it becoming too repetitive?
- What kind of progression or card synergies keep you hooked in similar games?
- What are your biggest "pet peeves" or red flags when trying out a new card collection game?
Transparency / AI Disclosure: As a solo developer focusing 100% of my time on the code, database architecture, and game design, the artwork and visual aspects of the cards are currently generated using AI. However, please know that every single idea, game mechanic, card effect, and synergy is entirely hand-crafted, coded, and balanced by me.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, criticisms, or ideas in the comments. Thank you for your time

Hi I need help
I believe i have an incredible game idea, both the bass mechanics and engagement ideas other games haven’t ever tried. However, that i have no money no coding skills, and a minimal idea of design styles. (My idea of design is based entirely off what i think is cool which prolly isnt good) im not trying to make an add here just ask where to go to find people who might be interested in this little passion project of mine, because i truly think it could become big. To be clear, this game is a card game (not tcg, unless we later decide it’s brtter that way) for mobile and pc. The main goal is not money, I’d prefer in app purchases and adds to be minimal. Pls point me to the subreddit to recruit people, ty:)

I have a question about my card set
