More UI work!

Still piecing together what this game *could* be. I'm in a prototype and lookdev stage to get a feel of things.

What do you think?

I recently bought a house! Which means gamedev has taken a back seat while I pursue decorating ๐ŸŽจ

Managed to sneak in some UI work though, how do you feel about this card selection stuff? ๐Ÿค”

I really adore videos that use tilt-shift techniques. Been trying to get a similar effect with this. Pushing the depth of field and dropping the framerate.

what do you think?

New to MtG, maybe my thinking is off here...

With how each new set is released it feels like the previous sets don't exist any more. Felt like it with Bloomburrow and now with FF. Wonder what it'd take to make the current Standard feel more like an overall narrative.

It's a neat idea and it's something I considered, however I realised it's actually against Steam policy to do this directly from the game...

Here's something I'm not sure I've posted on Bluesky before. Proprietary gamedev tools!

This is a screenshot of my questing node network that directly exports into Unreal Engine that determines quest dependencies. ๐Ÿค“
