Hello everyone!
I am working hard on the full version of Deck of Potential,
while also preparing the Demo v0.2 update featuring 30+ new cards and the Custom Deck system!
Thank you once again for the interest you've shown in the Demo!
Deck of Potential has reached 6,000 wishlists, and the Demo even reached a peak of 110 concurrent players.This small Demo is receiving far more attention than I ever expected!! v0.1 is just the beginning, and I have so much more to show you.
v0.1 was successful in showcasing the game's unique card mechanics. But the content was very simple, and it fell a bit short of showing the game's depth.
Thankfully, everyone actively shared feedback on how to make this game more fun, and watching and analyzing the uploaded gameplay videos was a huge help in setting the development direction for which elements to strengthen and which to supplement in the future.
To release the full version in high quality, I need to collect more play data. More content will be released in the Demo, and polished early on with the collected data and feedback.
The Character Deck and Custom Deck systems I am introducing now were originally planned to be included in the full version alongside a large number of new cards. They were not included in the Demo version because the variety of available cards was not enough to apply this system.
But this system is important for the fun of deck-building, so during the Demo v0.2 period, I will introduce this system along with 30+ new cards, collecting data and feedback in advance and polishing it.
In v0.2, each character will have their own card pool of 8 cards, so the cards that appear in the game will vary depending on the character you play. Gem Cards are in a shared pool for all characters.
And once you successfully clear the game using a Character Deck, you will be able to build your own Custom Deck for that character, customizing your card pool for the next run!
(Requires at least 8 cards + including the character's Starter Cards.)
Although the Demo doesn't have a wide variety of cards yet, building a Custom Deck will become even more fun as more cards and characters are added!
As an example if you configure your Custom Deck like this, you can play with the v0.1 card pool again, making Fire, Lightning, Shot, and Weapon types all appear in a single run.
Now let me introduce Clover’s deck coming in v0.2!
Clover's Character Deck consists of Shot, Fire, and Ice cards.
It mainly utilizes powerful Shot+Fire cards like InfernoShot, Snipe, and Blaster, using Ice cards to add Freeze power to Shots, or greatly increasing the damage of Fire cards!As the first character, Clover’s deck features easy-to-use synergies.
This card has very low base damage, but if your deck can trigger Shot Cards multiple times, it can deal as much damage as Snipe!
This card triggers 6 times per use, making it great for reducing Snipe's cooldown or stacking Blaster's damage.
And several new Ice Type cards are being added!
Much like Clover’s overhauled deck, many cards are being added to Diam and Spade’s decks, bringing the joy of discovering new cards and synergies with every new character run!
There is so much to show you regarding the Weapon + Fire and Weapon + Shot synergies.
I will keep working hard on development and bring you more news on v0.2.
Thank you to everyone who has been waiting for the update and played the demo!
