I'm just going to be myself here. I've never done this before. I don't know what I'm doing. But I am making this game and it's going well. Total development time so far is roughly 26 months but I do have a full job and three kids so that accounts for the not so swift pace. However, the game is coming along. Lots of new stuff added and polished the last few weeks and I can definitely see big strides in the development as the project matures. I somehow thought that as the project got bigger the development would slow down but I feel like it's more like all the puzzles are finally starting to come together.
Here are some key highlights what's in the game right now:
— 55/90 Cards
— 83/150 player illustrations
— 27 Teams created
— 5 Team illustrations
— 7/50 Gear / Items
— 26 Match-ups against other teams
— Market where you can buy packs of cards and trade with an NPC
— Menu with basic settings
— Deck view (all your cards)
— Player view (all your players)
— Players have Scoring/Assist/Positioning stats + Gear
— Match is playable with cards, opponent, energy etc.
— A match either ends in victory or defeat (a draw triggers Overtime)
Since I intend to do an update at the end of each month here is a rough list of stuff completed in March 2026 (in no particular order) — 25 new cards
— Colored keywords in cards description
— Fixed quite a few bugs 😅
— UI polish
— Players can be trained to increase their stats
— Updated page titles
— Cards now have visible "trade value"
— Updated the graphics for upgraded cards
— Code refactor and cleanup
— Victory / Defeat panels at the end of match
— Music & SFX system + volume is now configurable in settings
— SFX for all buttons
— Music plays seamlessly between screens
— Added Rive animations to team stat changes in Match
— 50+ illustrations (cards, players, team logos etc)
— Updated the font with a few missing glyphs
— Added a Rive scene transition animation
— Tooltip redesign and implementation
— Match can go beyond four quarter (a.k.a. Overtime)
— Lot's of new card effects (f.ex. "Next card costs 0", "For each card in hand")
—————————— That's it for March 2026. If you would like to know something specific about the game, the development or myself please feel free to drop me a line or comment. All the best,
