That’s awesome thank you!

Initially, yes, just on Steam - but I do intend to release on consoles and Switch 2 as well.

β€œRad” is exactly how I want it to look! 😁

I haven’t settled on a price point yet.

Might as well ask - how much would you expect it to cost?

Curse of Cards is a card battler I've been developing, inspired by British folklore.

I added a pulsing highlight that shows playable cards and valid drop spots as you drag them.
Small touch, big clarity!

Aw, thanks!
I should probably focus more on finishing the game before doing more visuals but it’s lovely comments like this which make me glad I polish a few things as I go.

Oh, cheers!
It’s pretty much just an ease in / ease out curve on every movement I do in the entire game πŸ˜‚

Tried stripping out the β€˜Unreal look’ in Curse of Cards by switching to the AgX tonemapper.

The image REALLY pops! (maybe a bit too much)

Words fail me.
Not as much as Sony have failed the incredible staff at BluePoint.

It begs the question - did BluePoint even need to sell to Sony in the first place? Or did they partner up for the potential opportunities?

Would BluePoint still be here if they weren’t bought out?

On Curse of Cards, we be making pretty stuff!
There’s a new β€˜damage blocked’ VFX, like the air itself took the hit.
I also tried a painterly DOF effect inspired by Skyward Sword.

In UE5, you'd have thought something like revealing text line by line would be relatively simple, but it's such a faff!
Everything feels like a hack.
I guess that's gamedev!

This week, I've added a character dialogue system to Curse of Cards.
It makes a helluva change to the vibes now that the other character actually talks to you.

This week on Curse of Cards, I've re-implemented Curse cards. These are made of a curse and boon effect (that can be mixed in synergistic ways) given to the player after each match.
