Weapon Cards!

I want to talk more about the process of designing the game mechanics. However, I realized that is very difficult without first revealing the weapon cards. This is how the game was born. At its inception, the core mechanic of the game was “ability cards.” You would draw an ability and attach it to your player. They would range is effect, strength, and element. Through the process of developing the game, those “ability cards” became the weapon cards of Destined Legends. These cards define what your Legends (party members) can do during battle. They define almost your entire element’s strategy. Based off of the sorts of abilities each weapon has, you arrange the rest of your deck to play along well. 

Each weapon card is comprised of 1 or 2 different abilities. The roll of a die is necessary to determine which ability you can use. I have to be purposefully vague about how they work, but I hope to be able to reveal more about the specifics closer to launch. Take a second to look through the cards above and review their abilities. Getting the gist of these cards and some of the verbiage down will help in future discussions of the game. 

I also decided to go ahead and use the latest design of the cards. Its really more for us to able to see them whenever/wherever we want. It aches to see the cards sans artwork. I can’t want to start talking about our plans for that aspect of development.

I hope we’ve revealed enough to get you guys excited. Let us know how you feel about these cards. Also, what would you like us to talk about in future posts? What are you interested in learning about?
