I am SO exhausted and relieved right now so I'm just going to repost this from the discord! Thank you everyone, It's been a wild ride to get to where I am right now, but I'm glad I got here.

WE HAVE REACHED OUR GOAL!!!!
I cant thank everyone enough for all the support, it means more than you can imagine. I cant wait to show you all of the things I have in store for Flipside, and all the ideas I have for what comes after Brave Beginnings. I'll be streaming tomorrow to celebrate and counting down the last hours of the campaign, and after I will be taking roughly a week off from coding to focus on all the real life errands that have piled up on me while I focused on the kickstarter. After that, I will be focused basically entirely on gamedev (still streaming occasionally) for the next 6 months until Brave Beginnings is released.

I will be giving regular updates both in this server and on the Kickstarter page throughout, and making promotional posts when new characters are ready to show off. Backers who pledged to the Early Access tier can expect their codes for the multiplayer Steam playtest in October after I get the multiplayer code cleaned up and matchmaking/lobby finding systems created.

Thank you all again for the incredible support, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

7 days left! We're 63% funded and I've published a new campaign update on the Kickstarter page and will be releasing a new demo update within a couple days! kickstarter.com/projects/verdant-moon-studios/flipside-brave-beginnings/posts/4785471

Note: Final paragraph had to be removed from Bluesky as it was too long for the alt-text limits. Full post is on Kickstarter.

Hey everyone! Giving a quick campaign update here and some info about the upcoming demo update! Currently we have roughly a week left until the end of the campaign, and we're just under $2600 short of our goal. Backers pledged about another 13% during the middle 15 days of the campaign, which I'm happy with considering the middle of all of the KS campaigns I've watched in the past has historically been drastically slower than the start and end. This leaves us with 37% left to raise in the last week.

To help us reach that goal, I have a lot planned this week, both in terms of promotion AND a new update to Flipside! Within the next few days I'll be releasing an update to the demo on itchio that will add 2 new shops to the game world: A duel accessory shop, and a clothing shop! These will only have a single type of cosmetic each at the moment since this is only their very first implementation, and there's still a lot of work to do to finish the rest, but it gives the player a small taste of the cosmetic choices that will be available in Brave Beginnings. And to be extra clear, these shops only use credits, the in-game currency, just like a typical RPG. There will be zero micro transactions in Brave Beginnings, and I have no plans to add them in any future chapters.

Currently working on a new Flipside update that will release within a week that adds the first item shops to the game! The first items will be pretty simple but I think the shopkeepers and enter-able buildings make the city feel a lot more lively. #gamedev #indiegame #rpg

First test of cosmetics working today with card backs! Brave Beginnings will have a wide range of options for both dueling visuals and avatar clothing to unlock, but only through gameplay, never with real money. Back the game: kickstarter.com/projects/verdant-moon-studios/flipside-brave-beginnings

Acceleraptor is still one my favorite cards I've designed. It was also the first time I really locked in and put some effort into the card art, even if I'm still not the best at it (I want to re-draw him later). His effect will need some re-wording before release though.

An illustration of a mechanical raptor. It's effect text reads: "When this creature becomes exhausted, deal 1 damage to it. When this creature is damaged during your turn, you can discard 1 card, and if you do, this turn you can Level-Summon one Lv2 Reptile or Machine from a creature that was just played. This card can only use this effect once per turn.
The flavor text reads: "Faster, faster, until the thrill of rapid leveling overcomes the fear of damage."

Been a while since the last update as I'm in the middle of completely replacing the current placeholder intro of the story with a brand new series of cutscenes and interactive tutorials that introduce you to the story and it's characters. It's a huge task but I'm very close to having it done.

In Flipside, decks are categorized by creature types, each with a distinct play style. These types are designed so you can easily combine 2 or 3 in the same deck, so you can mix and match your favorite types and play styles! A serpent and warrior deck utilizes sneaky and defensive strategies!

Stone Sentinel: Elemental / Geo / Warrior "Shield Protector: When an allied Shield is attacked, you can redirect the attack to this creature."
Darkbrood Defender: Serpent / Reptile Warrior "Face-Down Creature Protector: When an allied Face-Down Creature is attacked, you can redirect the attack to this creature."
Ambush Cobra: Reptile Serpent "Trap: When an enemy attacks any Face-Down Card, you may flip this card Face-Up to deal 2 damage to that creature."
