    Knowing you're a game designer, my first thought on realising that you'd changed out "draw" was "Well, that sounds like a suboptimal design decision, so there must be some other, overriding reason for the change."
    And there is! I really tried to think of another game where "Draw 4" applies, and I couldn't think of any that aren't absolutely dwarfed by Uno. So avoiding that phrase entirely is a good idea. Chemicards looks great!

    I feel like the new format as shown in the sample card makes the entire thing pop more, both in clarity and in style. The original format certainly gave the game it's own identity. With the changes (along with the additional style guides) the cards now each have their own identity while maintaining a unified game identity.

    Dyslexia friendly fonts have different shapes for what would otherwise be symmetrical letters. From what I understand, this is done because dyslexic people sometimes see things flipped, and can’t really tell. For the example you used in the video, the “b” has no bottom nub, the “d” has a straight edge, the “p” has a curved edge, and the “q” has a triangular tail. The differences might not look nociceable on the card, but I think it is good to know.

    After seeing Nintendo suing Pocket Pair over Palworld, it should be obvious that companies will take legal action against anything remotely derivative of their work if it becomes popular enough and they think it will threaten the sales of their products. It's better to play it safe and not give them any reasons to think that they can take you to court and waste your time and money over something frivolous. (especially as a indie game publisher with nowhere near as much money as a corp like Mattel.)
    That aside, I do like the new and improved card designs. Much appreciation to you and the people in your community that are far better at art than I am lol.

    Great update! I was worried about the color symbols in the last video, but I saw you were already talking with folks about it in the comments, so I trusted something would work out. And these are MUCH better! Excellent work! I also love the hued background for the text. Sometimes reading text on pure white backgrounds can just feel bad, but the hued backgrounds are great. Just overall fantastic progress. And you are perfectly valid changing as much as you can to make as sure as possible that Mattel can't send their lawyers after you. Especially since, as you said, you do need to actually sell this. Lawyers are always more interested when you're charging for something. So, yes, great work, keep it up, don't let people get you down, and good luck moving forward!

    I love the new chemical color textures, each one manages to look distinct and flavorful, i love it!
    Especially orange, the thing-like gore really gives off that fleshy vibe, but all of them look great! The completely solid ones especially you did a great job on, reminds me of those sci-fi chemicals that immediately transform into some kinda solid upon contact, really vibes with the theme.
    And here's an idea; maybe for the character portraits, you can use hue shifting thats specifically between two of the chemicards chemicolors(tm)?
    Like, Man-tis hueshifts with Orange and Grey, TurboNerd hueshifts with Blue and Yellow, Goop hueshifts between Green and Pink, Arma Geddon hueshifts between Red and Grey, EekGleep (or whatever the alien's name was) hueshifts between White and Brown, The Forklift-Certified Driver hurshifts between Brown and Yellow, etc.
    Thats 56 different possible hueshift combos, for 32 characters. Not only does that give everyone the opportunity to have a uniqie hueshift, but that also means you have 24 extra to throw around for other purposes, or perserve for expansion characters. (Or use them for enemy card portraits, but i think you can get away with double dipping there.)
    This could give the characters a unique style that stands out, and you could even take a note from Magic's playbook and have the colors say something about the characters, ether physically or character-wise.
    (Note; I'm not sure if this would look good or not so take this with a grain of moon dust.)
    Anyways i can't wait for the lore episode where we reveal this all of this takes place in Poland. Not a fictionalized Poland, no, real life current day Poland, right now.

    I like that so many elements are being changed so that Chemicards feels almost like a card-based ttrpg and not just overcomplicated uno. Things like changing 'draw' to 'absorb' really help serve immersion even if it was a necessary choice.

      Also, I don't worry at all about the naming issues. You made it clear from the start that your card game would be named "Chemicards". In private, I can still introduce it as "Uno (Amalgam)", and Mattel would be none the wiser 😂

    13:57 this is just spitballing and not even a real suggestion but i feel like "double draw" "quadruple draw" would still work as both being intuitive and avoiding legal trouble
    (And heck, if Draw 5-1 was legally acceptable I'd bet that someting like 4x Draw or 2x Draw could probably work)

    @benji-menji 3 дні тому +2

    Happy to get some design insights.
    I will say that Unofficial was in a pretty bad spot because of the platform it was on. Most mega platform like UA-cam will just fold in place of the creator to any claims against platform content. I think Roblox being similar is a fair assertion.
    In the end, this means Matell could get away with any demands even if they shouldn't have the power to assert over stuff like drawing cards. I'm pretty sure there isn't actually any risk to drawing 4 itself though. That demand is so that games like yours end up being worse off reducing the chance they sell well. This means they might not need to sue.
    However, they can still sue anyway if they think your game takes away their money. The only way I can see surviving them is to either be humble by doing a limited edition or limited run or facing the world treaty that created the DMCA etc in a court that doesn't exist.

    I love the touch that the colors all have a different slime shape! It allows them to stand out from each other if you have color blindness. And it will probably let people recognize the color faster when in a hand, which is probably super helpful when there are so many colors to keep track of.
    For the dual color ones, maybe you could do a left and right half, but down the center, where they "mix" could have a unique shape too. Like a blue and yellow card could have the lightning and yellow slime on the left, the icicles and blue on the right, and along the dividing line is thin yellow arcs, like the yellow is charging up the ice in the blue. I'm thinking a strip like 5 pixels wide in the center to get the idea across without disrupting the other information on the card

  • @ryley4457
    @ryley4457 3 дні тому +2

    I understand and agree with you on the draw thing, but i still think that "take" would be better than absorb or gather as a replacement,as that is way more clear and easy to parse.

    Fun fact: In locofficial, the draw 5-1 card actually gives you 5 cards and then removes a random card from your deck, not remove one of the new cards you just drew, it can remove any of them.

    Draw 0100 problem solved? 😂 Jk jk
    Chemicards is shaping up to be something incredible! I recently stumbled on the videos and binged the playlist and the streams.
    My only real piece of constructive criticism is the white border on the number in the upper right. I actually preferred the way it was in the previous version. I understand it's for readability, but I feel like maybe the actual number (the black) should be just a tad bit thicker? Or the white outline a bit thinner idk. 😅

    I love the artstyle of these cards, especially with how each color has their own slime look. It kinda inspires me to try and do something similar with pokemon types/elements/whatever-you-call-em but I don't know if I'll actually be able to muster the motivation to try it
    I was confused at first why you didn't use "Draw" but after watching this video I do agree with what you did, with the "Draw 4" stuff
    I highly doubt it'll happen until far later in development (especially since a metric ton of things are still Subject To Change™), but I kinda wanna see a "custom Chemicard generator" of sorts, allowing people to make their own custom cards for fun or just play around with the game assets
