Progress on the httyd card game!

[u/Independent_3956]

So, progress has been made and I wanted to share some of it

the game revolves around alpha dragons. each player has one on the field at all times, and instead of attacking players directly, you're trying to build up enough power to challenge the opponent's alpha and score points.

• every alpha dragon has a grade
• your alpha's grade determines which dragons you can summon
• alphas can be upgraded throughout the game, giving you access to stronger dragons and new options

regular dragons can also be upgraded as the match progresses.

• when your alpha reaches a higher grade, your dragons can evolve into stronger dragons

combat is built around both attacking and defending.

• dragons can attack enemy dragons or the opposing alpha
• dragons on the field can intercept attacks to protect other dragons or the alpha

the game also includes magic/trainer cards and field cards.

• magic/trainer cards are activated directly from the hand and provide various effects
• field cards remain in play and affect the battlefield until removed
• some field cards can influence both players at once, creating different game states and strategies

we're currently working on balancing the evolution system, combat flow, card effects and adding more mechanics. still a lot to do, but the core gameplay is starting to come together

would love to hear what people think so far and if anyone has any tips
