Developing a TCG (Trading Card Game)

Forgewolf · May 02, 2015, 05:16:31 PM

I am currently in the early stages of developing a TCG with some clear goals. I'm eyeing at the big three, Pokemon, Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh.. I either want to bump one out, or make this one become the big four. I'd like to know what your thoughts and feelings are, talk about the possibilities, implications or even seek partnership. I'm a crappy artist, definitely could use a partner or two in those. Maybe learn what your likes or dislikes are in art design, feel or size of the cards themselves, stuff like that is good to know.

I have two pages full of just brain storming material right now.

One of the things I like about Magic is each colour has it's own world (kinda) and characters that give them that distinctive feel. You could kinda take inspiration from that if you go down that route. Like, Tarkir has the Jeskai, Abzan, Mardu and Temur and they all feel different both visually and technically, I like it.

Do you have any sort of idea of what they are going to be

If you want to do Sci-Fi, I could lend you my scifi stuff to use.

It'll definitely have some sci-fi in it. I am in need of business partners

You should get Respawn/EA to let you make a Titanfall card game.
I seriously don't know how that never even crossed their mind with the Burn Card thing they had going on

If not, then at least include some kind of mech-dragons

You'd probably be able to do this provided theres no money made.

It'd be a good way to get an audience if it's good.

Ambitious, nice. Though lets face it, MTG wont get toppled any time soon. I'm surprise Yugioh os still a thing. Anyway goodluck

Yu-gi-oh was always the best of the three IMO.

This is a joke right? YGO is broken to hell right now. 99.9% of the current meta is either qliphorts or bullshit that essentialy stops the opponet from enen playing the game or both.

I literaly went back to CF Vangaurd. That game needs more attention, it atualy takes more effirt than just summuning Slifer and Qliphort Towers and solemning whatever is left.

Konami lets this bullshit fly andwont even give us Silent Hills or even semi-decent support for red-eyes. (those new gemini's are an incoherant clog-fest)

The C and G in the title looked really close together.

OT: I don't know enough about card games like that to give any real input.

If I can't defeat, perhaps I can tie? Making the Big Three, turn into the Big Four
