For anyone interested, the pre-alpha of digital #Crowns is now playable! With both multiplayer matchmaking and playing vs CPU. Much easier to try and learn the mechanics that way!

Note: It's experiencing several updates a day (and bugs) while we're adding new functions and features, so sometimes it might not work for a few minutes or an hour or so.

I've completely rebuilt the page design and updated the text and illustrations on my #itchio page as well as created a sales page on #TGC for the upcoming release of my custom deck design for #crowns

I spent way too much time rewriting and updating the rules for my #cardgame #crowns. Maybe I didn't need to rewrite them entirely since it seems most people understood them anyway, but I added two optional rules in preparation for the custom cards version I'm working on and made a minor change to the King.

I haven't updated the rules on the wordpress page but they are updated on itch!

Been down the past week or two for many reasons, but still making steady progress. Here's a cute little tower I blended this morning before diving into the work I'm actually paid for.

Let's talk quest mapping! This is the most intricate so far, with lots of dependencies, talking, items, and tracking. Thank goodness for diagrams making the complex simple.
