A "masterpiece" does not refer to the greatest work you will ever create. It is more accurately the work you create to show to the world that you are a master.

Next task is to glow up the "let's play" screen. There's a lot of ways to play in my game, like global matchmaking, QR code invites and public lobbies, but it's tricky for new users to find everything. I've got design ideas to improve this next. newmatchcity.com #indiegame | #indiedev | #gamedev

UI for starting a game in New Match City, that will be improved in the next release.

I made an enormous update to NMC. New Match City is a collectable card game for conversation starting and making new friends. The biggest problem has been that people don't know what the game is if I'm not there to explain it. This is a huge glow up that teaches new players how to play.
