Entry #10: Tabletop Simulator Mod Release! 📣 - Building Levels and testing Card Games making a Tabletop Simulator Mod!
23.09.2024
Wow, the Week really went by fast! 📆
But that's just the way it is i guess, so let's get straight into it:
I continued working on the Levels on Ortomnia, and i realised what a big Task this is, to decorate a Level with the Sprites, lots of times i deleted what i already made and started all over again, because i was'nt satisfied with it.
Slowly but surely i think i'm starting to get a feeling for this, the last few "Level-Build-Sessions" were a lot better and everything was a little bit faster! Looking forward to get even more of a feeling how to place my sprites in the Levels so it gets even better! ✏
I noticed some Constraints with Godot while doing this - even though the Word "Constrain" is probably a bit Word, i just don't like how the Node-List is working, since it's a little bit tedious to rearrange them all the Time when placing new Sprites. I guess i just need to get more into it to figure out a Workflow regarding this! 🖥
So, since building Levels is most of the Stuff i was doing regarding my Indiegame Ortomnia - Broken Trinity, let's look a little bit on the other Aspects of what iam doing, the biggest one is probably:
The Ortomnia Trading Card Game! 🎴
Yes you heard right, it's still going and it's going strong!
After designing all 205 Cards of the Set (mechanically wise, not with Illustrations) i launched a Tabletop Simulator Mod in which everything was implemented, and i even playtested this with some People and built Decks - and the Game and the Rules i figured out are actually quite engaging and fun! We had a good time! Of course there are Cards wich needs balancing and just by one Game i played i noticed a lot of missing pieces, thats why Playtesting Playtesting Playtesting is soooooo important! Having a good Time AND figuring out WAY more than you could ever think of yourself!
So with the updated Ruleset we will dive into Playtesting once again this week, and iam looking forward to having a good time once again! 🔥
🚨 If you want to check out the Mod for yourself (there are 3 pre-built decks right now!) just subscribe for free to this mod: https://lnkd.in/e6kmubuJ - it's right now on not listed, so you actually CAN'T find it without this Link right now! 🚨
Let me know what you think!
Also i started working on my Etsy-Shop once again, ordered some SEO and changed lots of Links and Names, which means iam officially embracing Mystic Shelter as my Studiobrand, since it was kinda misleading until now, since i used my Username just_deli for lot's of things business related, but that's taken care of now! 📝
Marketing and Brand-Stuff really isn't my Strong Suite, and it drained me a lot doing it, so iam super happy about all the Help, Feedback, Impressions, Critique and Tips i got while doing this! 🙌
That's it folks!
