Here's my exclusive Preview Card for the Cyberpunk TCG: Wild in the Streets! Sometimes you just need to zero a spent gonk. For the low, low cost of 5 Eddies, you can! As the Lead Designer of the game, whenever I build a deck with 2 Green Legends, I always start with 3 copies of this 5-word banger.

When you're sketching out card art ideas for a tcg game jam game and the only time you go into any kind of detail is the girl on card

Pretty sure nobody will notice if I just snip off one of these

This part was pretty finicky but it looks pretty good from afar

Drew a texture for the lamp myself in paint dot net, pretty close to what's in game I think

It's the gameplay type where player enjoyment is tied to ending the game before it happens. In a long drawn out game the game is still happening, even the red player is happy the game happens as little as possible

Kyoukai - ISO-RPG Card Battles - On hiatus @kyoukaitcg.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

I think the color red might be the worst thing to ever happen to any card game, on a design level

Yeah I read and saw more about everything that was already going very wrong before this but the promo is very good at least

Kyoukai - ISO-RPG Card Battles - On hiatus @kyoukaitcg.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

Reading a post on the final wixoss event from starfruit, and they received THIS promo at the final GP in Seattle, with under 100 participants. It's maybe the coolest card I've ever seen??

made some lil land type inserts for myself, thought I'd post'em! Besides this, Kyoukai networking code continues - I've been on a bit of a hiatus while doing paid work, but I'll start making progress again real soon. youtube.com/shorts/-_qBn...

I couldn't keep using little scraps of paper for this

Still a good bit of edge case testing to go - but joining a game that's already in progress is technically working!! #kyoukai #indiegamedev #godot

Kyoukai - ISO-RPG Card Battles - On hiatus @kyoukaitcg.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Only now adding a wait track for online events received while another is still resolving! Until now, especially because it's generally a 2 player game, events generally promoted each other. Now, I've find an issue when two players try to join a room simultaneously.

Kyoukai - ISO-RPG Card Battles - On hiatus @kyoukaitcg.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Big swath of icons today - rooms now show their status clearly, and a toggle to allow watchers in your room has been added too! If a no-watchers room has two players seated, it disappears from the room list. #kyoukai #indiegamedev

BTW! Replays have been getting saved for a while now. I don't have a good way to read them yet... but it's a log of all events the game sends online. So basically, everything a WATCHER would receive! If watchers work during a game, then this log should be readable later. #indiegamedev #godot

Some more Kyoukai cards have been in the works lately, art included, as I continue getting ready for the launch of a series of Alpha testing weekends! For now, it's time to nitpick. Which of these 3 versions of Zodiac Prophecy do you like the most?

Kyoukai - ISO-RPG Card Battles - On hiatus @kyoukaitcg.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

Now that networking is pretty solid, I've moved the activity log off to the side, and added a much needed player list! #kyoukai #godot #indiegamedev

in both cases, using block or prayer on the summons around her (instead of directly on feng herself) will function as expected.

020

Kyoukai - ISO-RPG Card Battles - On hiatus @kyoukaitcg.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

Feng is always checking the cards around her and gaining the highest stats possible from among them. Block simply adds 9 defense in this case - so her defense should go up from what she calculates herself. Prayer switches PRINTED stats however, which for Feng, is 0/0 and so nothing happens.

Small engine tweak this morning to align some rulings with expected behavior. #indiegamedev #godot

as in there's no more "how am I going to do this" items left, only items to simply DO

Kyoukai - ISO-RPG Card Battles - On hiatus @kyoukaitcg.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

A watcher in Kyoukai shows a full understandable game state by just receiving packets with minimal allowed inputs. How did I not realize that very watcher mode is simply all a replay needs to be? Holy crap I think kyoukai's problem list is CLEARED!

Kyoukai - ISO-RPG Card Battles - On hiatus @kyoukaitcg.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

The state engine is now fully operational! Hot dog!! Here's what it looks like to navigate from the title screen to an online game, and then some online rewinds. This is in the public steam demo now! #indiegamedev #gamedev

Kyoukai - ISO-RPG Card Battles - On hiatus @kyoukaitcg.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

Cards in your main deck are not loaded objects - as such, drawing cards spawns new objects into the scene tree, and putting them back into deck despawns them. Spawn and Despawn behavior is now working in the state engine, which means it's now FEATURE COMPLETE! #kyoukai #indiegamedev #godot

Kyoukai - ISO-RPG Card Battles - On hiatus @kyoukaitcg.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

Spawn/despawn cards still needs to be worked on, but otherwise, the State Engine is working on most major operations! Online, the player that STARTS the sequence will be able to request a rewind 3 times a game, and the opponent will have to approve it. #indiegamedev #godot

The most basic situation works! I will not elaborate on what else does or does not work! #indiegamedev #godot
