Yes, well while the main endings are more or less the same, let's say there are a lot of variants depending on dialogue choices, if you killed all alien races or allied with them, if you did a specific thing... etc (can't say more since some are spoilers!).

Mira and one of Planet Stronghold's moons behind her. This is just a DETAIL of a much bigger CG picture. I copy pasted it and even resized to 512x512 and has as much details as a normal image done for my title screens for example! 8)

This is an awesome picture :) I honestly think there are going to be some favorite CGs from this game :D

New Cards: https://twitter.com/pcmacgames/status/617798025465999360



Good to see mines and helicopters, one of my main grips in PS was that they always used ground troops in a hoover car. I asked "where are the helicopters, tanks, mechs, bombers, automated cannons to defend the colonies, etc?", good to see it being addressed.
jack1974
Yes there are more "military" cards/units now :)

Here's the first finished card! The "regular infantry":

only 119 cards to go :o Obviously I won't be posting all of them since want the people to have fun discovering them in-game :)

artist is working fullspeed, finished all the turrets and wall cards. Wall card are a bit like the "Taunt" in Hearthstone, you must attack them before other units, unless your attacking card can fly :)

template for the game cards. They'll have a different color based on the function:

- red: offensive actions

- blue: defensive actions

- green: units

I just hired myself to write unique and original card flavor texts, as you can see below:

:mrgreen:

Joking, my texts will never show in game... luckily for you!

It would be fun to put flavor texts like that in the final game too :lol: :lol:

I'm looking forward to picking this apart when we get to rules, numbers and abilities. :)
jack1974
I'm testing a bit as I design the card but will require a lot more to make it balanced! at least differently from a RPG there are no level up, inventories, etc :)

Work in progress of the card GUI:

note that I might NOT implement all those features (except for the card "experience/level" since I wanted to do that already) but I am just asking the GUI artist everything I think could use, so I don't have to ask him again in future :)

The top of the cards on the right section gets a bit confusing. If the resources are supposed to be different types, it's hard for me to distinguish them as they are.
jack1974
Yes true, I think they should all be of a different color!

new WIP of the card with different colored resources. I will use a more readable font for numbers :P
Franka
I think it's a mistake to put the numbers on top of the icons. It looks too busy, and it's not just the font.



If the icons are important, I would much rather have them to the left of the numbers, or above them or something. Same with attack and life.
jack1974
Well that can be easily tweaked. I asked him to do the art in layers so I can move everything, besides the number will be printed by the software so I can place them anywhere I want :)

The creatures really come to life when put with a good background (one Winter Wolve's Twitter feed):
