nice

Its so cool to see this series has already grown so much, I've watched pretty much all of your videos around 12 hours after they come out and now they average 50k+ views like whaatttt? Anyway once again just a nothing comment for the dreaded algorithm gods!

Imagine making a tutorial...

Total script release at 150k subs :)

are you going to implement this for four players like in DDCW

in the show workers seem to be represented by the same holograms as creatures and i always interpreted finn moving his creatures into certain structures as the "worker placement" jake mentioned so my idea would be to give certain building cards worker slots instead of the land areas. then you move a creature piece onto/into a building to get an effect as the worker placement mechanic. (you could also put the worker slots on the land cards) in a physical version you could even give the land buildings little spots to set the worker pieces though if you wanted it to be more like traditional worker placement you could have it be that whenever you play a worker creature (or a worker creature comes under your control for whatever other reason) you get a worker piece and whenever one of your worker creatures dies (or you lose control of it for whatever other reason) you lose a worker piece then on certain turn phases (probably the main phase?) you could have the option to place one of your worker pieces onto a cards worker slot to get a certain effect depending on the card like getting some money, drawing and discarding, buffing the creature (or just buffing one of your creatures if the worker pieces aren't tied to specific cards), or even more powerful effects like drawing without discarding, or forcing your opponent to discard without drawing, or weird stuff like messing with the economy tracker and then your opponent gets the opportunity to place one of their workers then at the begging of a turn each player gets all their workers back you could also give the different work structure cards different requirements like only allowing workers of a certain creature type or with certain stats the worker placement abilities could be a little stronger than normal abilities with the drawback that your opponent can also place workers onto your worker slots to get the effect you may also want to consider other placement limitations like only being able to place a worker if you have a creature in the same or an adjacent zone to the work station card as for booting a worker from a slot to place your own thats not typically something you can do in other worker placement games, you could have it be that you can place a worker in an occupied slot if it's stats are higher than those of the worker currently there. or you could have it be that you can place a worker in an occupied slot for an additional money cost if you want to link it to the economy system but i dont necessarily think you should because it's on cards and not the board if you dont want to play with worker placement you just dont put the cards that have worker slots in the pool of cards you build your deck from related to that i'd recommend giving cards related to optional mechanics (and just cards in general) set symbols to make setting up the card pool easier like all the cards would have the "set 1" symbol, cards related to the eco mechanic would have the "economy" set symbol added, and cards related to worker placement would have the "worker placement" set symbol sorry for the super long comment lol. there's a lot you can do with the worker placement and i have a lot of thoughts on it that i'm not sure i really got across well the game looks really cool so far! keep up the good work and remember to take a break if you need to

One thing I gotta ask, what's exactly the benefit of flooping a worker card to have it hold the money, in favor of flooping a structure card? Is it because, since structures can be targeted and attacked, structures with money may become a priority for the opponent, making them more liable to be destroyed, while creatures are more disposable and therefore preferable to take the attacks?

Honestly, I am not interested in the game itself, and watching videos because it's interesting to see how you do it

no globulin?

I don't like the taking the land rule. Idk why. It just feels off. Everything so far has seemed great. But as soon as you said the land rule, it felt very off

But how legal is all this? Like this is awesome but won't you get copy writed?

When the game is done, you gotta remember to make the cards able to do easy stuff like lil kids do with pokemon cards "my card has bigger number, i won" xD

I really enjoyed the stream! Where can I get this game?

Ajimbo!

i think u shouldnt worry abt some mechanics like removable land being too niche or difficult to get to cus u can always design some cards that skip steps and are dedicated towards turbo'ing said mechanic

I could see land card effects only applying when doing things with creatures in that land

Personally i think that deckbuilding is more fun than playing card games, so while this approach is cool and unique, the game could be so much cooler with deckbuilding (in my opinion)

Try not to think about how you’re going to make it when it hits the selves too much just try to make a good game and also I love the process great stuff man

Can we get a 'Normal Dog' card that when killed spawns some dudes

haha okay Now make the rules complicated enough that it would actually take Jake 2 hours to explain them to Finn or else it's not show accurate. Jokes aside, didn't you mention in an earlier video that you might completely change the fundamentals of the game as you experiment? Just do some zany shit with workers and see what happens. It's not like you have to stick with it. You can always go back to how the game was before.

I dont really like the idea to part of your opponent's kingdom. This game is complicated as it is rn and the opponent have to respond someway if he is behind, taking away 1/4 of space is too much in my opinion

Thank you for the video.

Thank you just thank you 🙏

The land cards could work similarly to field spells in yugioh were it doesn't always directly effect everything but still able to be interacted with

I think worker cards and structure cards could be addons to the setup phase INSTEAD of active pieces in the game itself, each player can set up a structure and a worker for said structure on each row. And depending on the worker/structure combo, depends on effects. Certain worker/structure pairings produce money, while others produce positive or negative lane/land effects. Like Finns lab/school thing and his wizard from OCW. Although, I am certain you could come up with a better idea than this. You've done a lot of great work already! Will def stay tuned from now on.

I WANT TO PLAY HOW CAN I PLAY

I floop the pig!

Could be each land card can only be placed on a specific land, like corn field

So I’m guessing for deck building is that it’s going to be taken by sets, like how how your side based on a general color, it seems that a deck would be hard centered on a type (corn for example), which means there isn’t customization for your deck aside from what type you’d use, I’d also say adding that there are no duplicate cards (within reason), (as it seems every card in play is unique)

What if the number in the land cards add up to a maximum . For example you cannot surpass the number 10 so if you pick a land with the number 6 that is very powerful the rest of the land cards must have a lower number

Hey! I think that I know how to fix the wheat field thing. Make the debuff happen upon harvest. Basically destroy the land in order to make them flip a card on activation. Maybe one time debuff, maybe more.

This would go crazy on vr chat or resonite

hey, When talking about the land cards yyou can take a few from the mobile game they launched. I know it aint near as show accurate but it would make yours more show accurate if you take the alnds from the "original" game

make it real game

One way you could counteract the issue of some cards/elements/lands being obviously better than others is to let the players decide 2 of their opponent's starting lands. That way no one has complete control of their options, and they'd have to work around their opponent's choices.

It seems like lands are a lot easier to destroy in the show than the three turn system shown here. Usually the lands are destroyed in one turn with a really powerful attack - maybe lands can only be destroyed by special abilities on certain creatures, and they also seem easier to restore since iirc Jake restores his corn fields twice in the original episode. Also, the cornfields are a little odd because the corn seems separate from the land card itself: when jake uses the volcano, it destroys the corn, but not the cornfields, and then he reconstitutes the corn with another spell.

I don’t know if I just missed this point throughout the series so far but, is the ultimate goal to program and release a full version of this eventually or will this still be played through tabletop simulator even after the game is fully realized?

I saw the last two videos right before I slept, and now this video will join them. Amazing work love the videos

Honestly when it comes to lands the simpler the better in my opinion. For such a core mechanic of the game it should be as simple as possible while providing just enough substance for it to make the game more interesting. Also great job so far, cant wait to see more!

I would love to do the art for these cards! This is such a cool, yet complicated game to make. I'm still a pretty big Adventure Time fan and always wished this game was real.

Babe wake up. New devblog!!!!

Worker placement! Also known as "action drafting." It's one of my favorite game mechanisms. One totally different approach you could use would be cards that come out and create a spot that a worker controlled by either player can go to activate an ability. If you take this route, can I suggest "pedestals" as the terminology, just so it matches the visuals of the show (even though the show doesn't have cards for the pedestals). These abilities don't have to be tied to the economy necessarily. They could effect key words, turn sequence, land types, stats, or anything else. Some could have an effect when placed, while others would have passive effects as long as your worker is there. Displacing workers, as shown in the show, doesn't have to be a core element of worker placement, it could be a special ability that isn't always available (like a card that changes a worker into a big ol' bully worker, or a floop that lets it happen). Because they would be accessible to either player, they should be cheaper or free to get on the board (since you wouldn't want to spend valuable cards or resources just for your opponent to swoop in). This could be done a few ways. You could have random ones enter play via the chaotic behavior deck (or whatever it's called), either from a set of core pedestal cards, or provided by the players. You could have them played from hand automatically when drawn, but then always letting them draw a new card to replace it (played automatically, so that you can't time it too much in your own favor, if it's already free to play). I think the toughest design choice would be deciding if workers are just a thing players always have, or if they need to be created in game. Maybe certain land types give a small number of workers, so that it's easy to start with at least one or two workers, but it's not a given, and some decks wouldn't have any. But then having other ways to get workers could be fun. If any of this interests you, I'd be happy to discuss it as much as you want. This is a topic I could go on about for hours.

I think wheat field is meant to be a broken game ending passive. Remembering AT is a show made for entertainment, people dedicated enough to attempt to read the card, seeing it has a hyper specific requirement that completely shuts a demographic of player out of the game, is funny af. I dont think it should be taken too seriously, such as it not being a true passive/lands need to be activated. Its just a joke, hyper situational affect that makes those who cant handle gluten unable to play lmao

will you be taking any idea and stuff from the offical games and real life card game?

Just so you know, theres quite a few videos on it, but its still possible to download original card wars as long as u get the sdk file from online. You can only use it offline but it could be useful for footage or inspiration

I think the reason that the wbm only took 1dmg Is because he was half in mud so it somehow protected him( if it's not random)

THE WORMS MADE IT TO CZcams ALL HAIL THE WORM GOD

ggwp

I think using/ activating your lands should be called "harvesting" no matter what type of lands you're on. Harvesting your doors. Also, you may have mentioned this in another video, but is there anything from the irl phsyicsl card wars board game you are working with? Like using those creatures or lands in your prototype? Would you like a physical copy? Thanks! I love this series.

The thoughts about the numbers on land cards is how many things can be on or done in those areas
