I use a program called Card Maker (NOT the one on Steam), but all tabletop game makers should know about the existence of software like this. There's also a popular one called nandeck, or some people use InDesign & its data merge feature. Thanks for making this!
I will openly say that I'm a tad bias towards this. This is the first program I've used that does stuff like this and after falling in love with the software I reached out and we're now partnered with them on the community :) So I will always side with Cocktail, though I do think everyone should go about and find which one is easiest for them. Demi I still use Photoshop unfortunately, all other card games though is strictly Cocktail!
InDesign is 100% the way to go if you can afford it. The automation and other stuff you get with the subscription blows every other option out of the water by miles.
Looks interesting. Does Cocktail let you set the card dimensions, Bleed size, etc? Like let's say I wanted to make a square card for a board game and I need a 1/16th inch bleed instead of the "standard" 1/8th. Also wondering about output options. Can you set it up to output something that works with Tabletop Sim?
Oh nooo! I found out that I never added lofi music to this :( the video is RUINED
More like improved
@@MrSageCurtis You prefer it without music? :O
It was fine without it! Thanks for the video!
