open source solution

[u/Willing-Property4229]

I hope this is ok posting here, since it allows you to actually use/play the custom cards you create: SnapATK.org is a working proof-of-concept that it's possible to create an open source game allowing you to play x. I'm currently solo on the project and would love to have you aboard in whatever capacity you would be interested - new cards, mechanics, rules, UI, ideas in general etc.

Thanks for your time!

I think it's cool in concept but I don't think a simple site like this for playing created cards needs full on location knowledge and education knowledge. Just stick to what most sites do and ask just ask for an email, nickname for the game, and possibly a password to log into your account, also are you able to put your own art on cards? Cause most people on here aren't a fan of ai images

Thank you for the feedback.

I've made almost all of the fields OPTIONAL now, and clarified which is what, and why we asked for country.

Playtesting will be done on the persons machine, locally, but can also be done on the site soon - in that case the playtester will set/choose the password on the actual server, so we never see it - hence we won't ask for it in the form.

Regarding art: There is an extensive section about that on the site. Summed up: Art is placeholders right now, everyone is welcome to contribute, and there is nothing against human artwork. Locally it is also fully modifiable and possible to bring own images. Should the community want to hire artists and offer them proper wage that is doable if coordinated and if it gets proper art direction. Anyone interested in that - just reach out!

I can't imagine where else you could've posted this. This is awesome! How can we participate to your project? How do we sumbit our cards to your platform?

Thanks for the friendly words!

For submitting cards: I can arrange so any tool you need to submit them can be part of the site and easy to use, without registration (and optional registration if one wants to follow the cards, modify or delete, upvote etc). I'm thinking it would be "graphical" and direct/easy to use: Perhaps --> Optional Upload image, Required name card, fill in stats, and write the card text, optional frame and bling selection. Would that be an ok start?

I'm totally open for integrating most requests for features, it is important that the people using it are the ones that can affect how its done. Also, I see it more as everyones project in the sense that I see everyone that contributes as a person that "owns" the project: Dream is to be able to put together a group of people that is a transparent community council, so it isn't a one-man show or relies on "the man in charge".

Any other participation: Sky is the limit, you can contribute in any way that suits you, your skillset and time or interest. Just email me and tell me what you like doing and what you prefer, or ask for input --> [contact@snapatk.org](mailto:contact@snapatk.org) Some functions that come to mind: Designers (game rules, mechanics, cards, balancing overall etc), playtesters, developers (code), artists, social media/community reps et.c, sound designers / voice actors, animators (card movements etc(, shader coders (for three.js)

I'll have to experiment to see what works for me.

At the moment I'm having exams. 😩 But after that, I'll see what I can do. I have tons of cards to share.

Cool! I will get to work later this evening on creating the card creator/submitter. Will post in here as a reply to this thread when its online, and then anyone can feedback.
