    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!

    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.

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.

    I love the color specific card art! And your reasoning for the term "absorb" makes complete sense, but don't act like your hand was forced, you looked at the past actions of the mattel legal department and you made a decision, so stand by that choice, it was as good one! Chemicards is a wacky card game, sacrificing a bit of clarity for theming and legal concerns is the appropriate course of action in this specific game design context.

    I feel like the number now looks a bit thin though... Adding white outline is a great idea, but I feel like now the number is not bold enough and gets lost a bit. I'd make the black portion just a tad bit wider, even if it means making the number itself a bit smaller.

    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)

  • @DaniBee76
    @DaniBee76 15 днів тому

    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

    Welcome back, been looking forward to this for a while.
    The card art looks amazing with all the new changes; both in it's function/readability, and in the art itself. During the livestream I actually had mixed thoughts about the black/white symbols, but looking at them again it's remarkable how well they read. And fit the card, with the white border of the number balancing out the white in the symbols.
    Can't wait to see how these designs influence the rulebook later on!
