Being 100% honest here, after a solid playtesting era (so I'd say 6 months) and some artistic tweaks you should absolutely pitch this to Scott. Maybe add some holographic cards or something to help with collectability? People would love to collect these. I would love to collect these, and I'm not huge on merch.
The energy system is such a genius idea. It skips the early game of building up resources (magic, hearthstone, pokemon) and at the same time prevents the other extreme of watching your opponent play solitaire for 15 minutes (yugioh). Really hope this becomes a big thing. One advice i will give (as someone who has made my own card game), dont be too quick with balancing/banning cards, sometimes it just takes time for people to figure out effective counterplay. Best of luck, now i gotta go read the rule book
I suspect the game-board not being able to be properly implemented in Untap could be substituted with cards tied to different parts of the game-board. There could maybe be cards in "Starts in Play" that handle different tiles. 2 halls, 1 vent, 1 or 2 office card(s) depending on odd-shaped/sized cards. This is also assuming you can stack cards onto each other. I also want to mention the card designs. The current ones I feel are good, though one thing I don't like is how noisy the background is. I also want to mention that maybe the card sets could be designed around the era. The indie era feels indie, while the Steelwool era feels more big studio like, and the other media could look like book pages, film stuff, and merch packaging depending on the media.
I ain't really into to "Discord games", I.E. games where you have to actively search out to find people to play with, in ya know places like Discord. Hopefully this somehow manages to blow up because stuff like this is cool and I would love to see something like this succeed.
So, I have a few ideas for cards: Ness: 30% | JP-0 "It's just a theory." When this card is played, search your deck for a card with "Afton" or "-trap" in its name, reveal it and add it to your hand | Office Human/Adult Flumpty: 60% | JP-3 "Hi!" This card is treated as having [Chicken] type | Once per turn, you can sacrifice 10% power to move this card to an open spot on your side of the board | Omni Boss/??? Adventure Purpleguy: 50% | JP-2 "I take 10 seconds to draw!" Once per turn, flip a coin. If heads: this card gains +2 JP until the end of the turn, if tails: this card loses -1 JP until the end of this turn | Front Human/Game Withered Golden Freddy: 80% | JP-3 "We had a spare, in the back... a yellow one" If you have Cassidy or Crying Child in your Salvage, this card gains +1 JP, if both are in your Salvage, this card gains +3 JP | When this card is in a fight, send it to the Salvage afterwards | Office Bear/Spirit.Springlock
I really think this ideas might be a great insipiration for squawks, especially W. Golden Freddy, but I have to say that flumpty is extremely overpowered; i think you should add some drawbacks to this card and/or some other effects other than the moving one. I really liked the moving ability of flumpty that recalls is ability in the game of telepoting wherever he wants and his tendency of "being immune to the plot" and on this regard i think maybe a passive ability who makes him immune to the opponent's customization cards would be perfect. Maybe a possible drawback is that he HAS to move and he can't move in the same spot 2 times in a row. If he can't move then he gets thrown directly in to the salvage. This changes coupled with an energy cost a little bit higher (or maybe not because he could get too weak) and really strong sinergies with other cards could make him a really fun and peculiar card to use.
As a FNAF fan and also an avid TCG player and collector: i am at a loss for words, this is amazing! Thank you for this, i’m glad I subscribed to your channel
I love the little quotes you put for each character. I understood the reference of Withered Freddy saying "Yo," and it's so funny that Mr. Hippo's quote goes off the card because he rambles. 🤣🤣🤣
Not going to lie this looks great! Hope the game is updated even after Card Set 3 as the FNAF canon continues to introduce new characters. If the game gets big enough putting it in Tabletop Simulator probably wouldn’t be a bad idea, it would also allow you to design a proper board for the game as well.
The memory system of digimon, the scale system of inscription, the adjacent damage system of wixoss/weiß schwarz. Solid combination systematically and visually.
This is great, I'd love to see more and gameplay videos, also a version on tabletop sim but that's besides the point. For the "free" card types, void might be a better term or null?
My boy, I'm running this for a large fnaf roleplay/game experience night . I'm so grateful you made this so I could make it a part of the experience. Thank you so much! This is so damn cool! I'm building starter decks for the night of deck building and I'll let you know how play testing goes. People may get a little too fucked up for a TCG, but should be fun all the same.
Also, if this game become popolar enough, you (or anyone for you) should consider Tabletop Simulator. Don't require any programming skill, and with the ambient customatitation you could both gave the game a physical board and make it prettier
I havent played any card games for a like a year but I was huuugely into them for a while (I kinda just got burned out on the genre tbh), I think this seems like a good way to get back into them though!
I think this has so much potential for success because it reminds me a ton of a game called undercards, an undertale inspired cars game. That game got a lot of success and I think this could too Edit: I also just came up with an idea for fcg set 4. Maybe you could focus on fan related content. Stuff like fangames and famous youtubers such as matpat
Just a small thing, I would actually prefer the wording, single use effect rather than once per turn. This will be more clear that you can't summon it out from the salvage and use the card's effect.
single use implies once per play of it- when it would be more accurate to say "Single use per turn" which is long hence being shortened down to "Once Per Turn".
Cool. So uh; I know you hoped you weren't "hitting a hornets nest" by asking for feedback on the card designs, but uh..... This might be helpful to know sooner than later: Have you noticed how the gradient background of the green balls makes it hard to differentiate cards with 0% cost from 10%-30% costs from a distance? The 1s, 2s, and 3s in black text are kind of lost in the black side of the gradient; maybe changing the "0%" font colour from black to white would be enough of a fix.
So, this caught my eye, and I really liked it, even if I haven't played it yet, due to the complex rules, and im still learning it, the idea is so fun, I mean, a FNaF card game, that is really creative, and I don't know if thats a big of a deal, but, if some character renders for the cards are necessary, I COULD do that, but idk if its THAT necessary, I just really think it would be fun to do that.
I love fnaf since i was a kid and i always liked TCGs even if I didn't ever had the chance to play one. I REALLY hope this blows up for al of the effort Sire has put in it. I just have a little problem and it's that none of my friends want to play so if Siresquawks has an official Discord server or someone made a fan server for this TCG please leak the link 😂.
@@siresquawks oh thanks man. I always heard you mention it in videos but you nevere wrote the link in the description of any of them, you should totally do that it would help you grow it much faster.
@@siresquawksah and I also wanted to tell you to maybe check out therealboy23 comment because it has some great ideas you could implement to the game in the future.
28:56 perhaps you can use the drawing function to recreate the map. Draw the rectangles (the spaces) that the cards go in. That way it will be easier visually for players
Cubes are a strange MTG format where you create a set of cards from your collection to draft with your friends. Typically 360 cards per 8 people or fraction thereof in the cube league [5o different mono-color cards, 50 multi-color cards, 30 colorless cards and 30 non-basic lands] they get shuffled and dealt into 15 card random boosters [or made into boosters of 2 cards of each color, 2 multicolor cards, 2 colorless and 1 land] and you play a draft or sealed deck, using the cards in your draft/sealed pool and any number of basic lands to make a 40+ card deck
Have you ever thought about using the drawing function to draw the board for a personal reference? Like outline a card 5x for the main zones and 2x for the deck (probably not needed) and salvage zone?
It does have a basic version there now- but if you can go on the discord for advice on something like scripting or better deck building that'd be great.
Heyy wtf!! I have a sorta card game too, using Dulst and its also of FNAF!! I love cards and FNAF too but I could never figure out how to get the game functioning..

Maybe for future drafts instead of "Free", you could reduce confusion by calling it "The Flipside" or something like that.

This is a banger, and I am super proud of you for all of the effort you’ve put in! Ima be dragging my friends by the ears to come and play >:D

You should invert the colors on the power bar. It's visually confusing for 10% power to be green, but 90% to be red, unless excess power is bad.
It’s to match the color indicators on the cards.
