Working frame by frame through a new launch animation. Buildings can spawn new units if you don't take them out fast enough ⚔️🐆

Building content is really fun. I have 3 more decks on the way before the game is "done". I shipped the first: The Aethos Empire is a stuns and shields deck. King Aethos has lost his grip on the world and the empire has shattered. Fallen paladin vibes. ⚔️🛡️

Siege Tower is one of my favorite rare cards. It's a building, but it starts every turn by firing an arrow at a random enemy. For some reason this is immensely fun to watch – especially when it picks off an enemy that had 1 health.

The boons system makes every play-through more mysterious. The engineering boon gives you a chance to draw a card whenever you play a building. Now every time you play a building you're waiting to see if it will proc.

So I've been pretty quiet about Summoners lately. It's because I've been working on a giant progression system. ⚔️ I shipped it to prod last night! 🛡️ If you win a game, you pick card rewards. If you lose, you start over with a fresh deck. Every game has unique combos.

Between Zelda marathons, I've been working on a buff system so that cards can do cool things. This card gives you a buff to make your next spell card free. Once you cast the free spell card, the buff disappears. This system unlocks a LOT more content for Summoners! #GameDev

Working on some spell effects today. This guy is stunned.

#screenshotsaturday (sunday) I've made a modifier system to add special abilities to cards. Examples: - Buffs all friendly units for +1 attack while it's alive - A shield that absorbs all damage the first time it is hit - Stun on every attack Going back through old cards and adding abilities now

Checking out Deno KV... this is really cool API design to let you choose between performance or strong consistency on any given query

Thanks for the invite Trezy 🙌 I'm working on summoners.io, a fantasy card game in the browser. The alpha version is playable now and I'm adding more content every weekend. I love making games for browsers and summoners is teaching me a lot! I'm using babylon and gsap for rendering and animation.
