The Weirdest Card Game Creatures 

This element needs a creature called the "knobgoblin" simply because the name "knobgoblin" is too good to miss out on

This certainly needs a robot element, something similar to crystal maybe? With the shatter and sacrifice things But focusing on building defenses, armor and shields. Also having a particular weakness that can skip their defences Edit: also this robot element could have a mechanic called "locks" "Firewall" or "paswords" as spells that could merge with the door element stuff.

There for sure needs to be a "Lards" element. You know, like the Sea Lards, Space Lards, Greed Lards, Wolf Lards, Angler Lards, and other such "iconic" names from the series. The element could revolve around generic "Lard" cards that transform into different special lard types. You could even do something like having a super strong lard creature that, when played, turns all of the other Lards into useless "Crud lards" or something.

This is so creative and awesome, I'm really happy with how this game is developing so far. It's almost like you're making all of the right choices

Great concepts here man! I think corn should be next though, as it is the most well known element in Card Wars. Has more work done for you.

I feel a good mechanic for lands would be that opponents can eventually attack and destroy lands. Meanwhile you can only cast spells in lanes that contain your active lands (might not work with certain spells). All creatures could be blooped to return a destroyed land. However since a creature becomes exhausted when moving into an occupied row this isn't easy. This means that you don't lose when you have no creatures but instead when you have no creatures or lands, since you can't continue the battle. This also adds uses to the pig and bald man. Being better able to attack lands and wander into adjacent lanes without being exhausted would be incredibly valuable.

"The First Playable Element?" "How Is A Card Game Different From A Trading Card Game?" "What Makes A Card Game Memorable?" "What Makes CardWars Actually Different" "The First Card Game With Doors" "The Weirdest Card Game Creatures" Just pick a title, man.

The door faction already sounds like it will be my main since, as a history nerd, I have a hard-on for guerilla tactics like hit and run. By the way, are you planning to give this game it's own legally distinct name soon? It would be nice to see this become a full fledged product.

I love this develog

So for now there's a placeholder tabletop simulator for this game, but I was wondering: are you planning on making this a digital game allowing for some more out there mechanics (like Hearthstone's discovery) and visuals, or a pysical tabletop game?

Richard BigHoles PhD.

do you have plans to implement swamp, candy, or deserts as elements from the original ios games or do you plan to fill the remaining elements with new ideas?

Was dissapointed not to see everyone's favourite and totally inspired and original oc, Globulon.

New door card idea, Schrödinger’s catflap. You can only play it once you have two doors in play. It then occupies both locations simultaneously until you decide to use it or it gets attacked at which point you have to decide which of the two locations it occupies.

I stan ding dong ditcher

the existence of BigHoles implies the existence of SmallHoles

I think 2-element cards like in mtg would be a good idea to encourage interesting deck combinations - at least one card for every combination that requires lands of both elements to work or synergise with both - which will encourage whacky combination.

8:36 Okay two VERY important things to note about how fighting games stay balanced. #1: Universal Mechanics. When a game has strong universal mechanics, it helps keep the options open so you dont get stuck in no-win scenarios until we get into high level play, and even then, you can usually prevent them from happening. There will be characters that benefit from Universal mechanics more than others, but generally having universal defense/offense options help keep things well rounded. For a card game, this could be hard to do since your only option is to use stuff you have in your deck, so try to be careful. Maybe the worker placement/economy stuff can be where you can add a bit more counterplay but you might also run the risk of needing to use the economy in order to survive at a high level. Though to be honest, at a high level, I assume the economy would either be required or completely ignored regardless so theres alot of planning to do here #2: Characters can be balanced for different skill levels. If Im new to a fighting game, I might struggle against a character with really big buttons that dont require execution but then find out this character is actually bad at high level play because the work arounds are really easy. This is actually really common in alot of competitive online games with huge casts so if you hear a character is 'top tier', theres actually good odds that it wont matter to you as a beginner since what makes them good is likely related to high-execution or really optimized play; not beginner level 'im just hitting buttons.

My favourite part was when, after the setup with Door Forest and Stone Archway, the Hinge Butterfly said "It's Dooring time" and proceeded to move allied creatures all over the board

Cristals could work in that they can be Shattered, Cleaved or Cracked, depending on how much damage they receive or the source of what destroyed them, and the effects from their destruction would vary. For example, you could have a "Volatile Cristal" that if Cracked (Cracked state would be receiving a certain amount of damage withouth the card dying) the card can be flooped in order to deal a large amount of damage to other cards or outright destroy lands or structures, but if instead the card is cleaved (Damaged just enough for it to die) or Shattered (Damaged with more damage than it would be necessary for it to die, or killed by an effect) the card would have no effect or even could deal damage to the player that controls it or that owns the land the card is on. This way the cards can be high risk/high reward, with spell effects that mitigate or increase damage in order to get the effects you want, or they can have several different uses, like having a card with negative effects that can be passed to the opponents side and that if shattered would damage them. Also I really enjoy your videos on this game, seeing the entire process is very fun and interesting.

I think a really easy way to make lands do a lot of things is have them interact with card tags or change how card tag interactions work. Lava land could buff all fire cards and give earth cards temporary fire tags or burn things or dream lands could cause intelligent creatures to hallucinate etc

The crystal element could have on death abilities that create smaller cards that have minor or corner case uses. Then have other crystal cards that care about having a lot of stuff on the field. I feel like a crystal */* sized creature (where * = amount of crystal cards are on the field) would be fun. Crystal cards could even care about your opponent's crystal cards too.

Doormatt it's a door named Matt with little arms and legs and hair, they function as a door, but can move to other lands, including adjacent ones creating mind games

I do love the idea of modular deck building. The game Card Hunter is an interesting exploration of that. It’s a D&D style deck builder where your characters’ decks are determined by their gear, with each piece of gear adding cards to their deck. It has a similar philosophy where some gear puts 6 ok cards, while another may be 4 ok cards, 1 amazing card, and 1 actively bad card. It’s interesting and makes me think of deck construction in ways I haven’t had to before.

WE MUST HAVE A KERFLOGGELBOGGEL!! it can be like the geico lizard but it walks on all fours, bigger eyes, and can’t tailk

After biblaridion’s alien biospheres series, this is my most exciting series / project to watch. Amazing work, engaging videos, can’t wait to see more

Wizard Element Magiculon requires his army

Whoever thought of the Hinge Butterfly, I love you for creating making such a fantastic creature a reality

I really hope that you expand on the corn element next, that way the people (me included) who loved watching Jake play the game, are able to replicate his insane ranting about how the game is supposed to go when things go bad for him.

Stop galighting me with the thumbnail and title changes!!!

I don't know what to say ... is fun to play, the flavour and theme of the cards is amazing and still you were able to create a new way to synergize cards togheter in a fun and very fitting way!

Love the name "Ding Dong Ditcher" ❤

this is unhinged

I have a question, Why do you keep changing the thumbnail and title of your videos? Its really confusing as to what just came out and what is new? Its a genuine question of mine

Glad we’re getting some dore and I loved helping with the creative process!

Fitrst!!!

Absolutely love the direction you went with doors! You have a real penchant for putting together interesting and creative mechanics, and this peek at the first real element has me feeling very confident about what the rest of this game will have in store

Never change Hinge Mouth's art. It's perfect.

Would a card called "Door to Door Salesman" work as a worker card for the Door element meant for economy usage be a good idea?

Great video but door forest instead of doorest? lol sorry but no this is exciting! I love seeing a new video from you on the progress of this

This is by far my favorite yt channel atm

for balancing mixed element decks if they get out of hand you could employ something similar to what hearthstone did with the deathknight class. You make cards that require at least to have some X amount of lands of a certain type, and/or some Y of another type. This way, you can potentially make a powerful card that can only be included in decks with 4 doors for example, without worries of it being too op in a mixed deck

woah awesome designs! Im pumped to see where this project will be in a few years

The only thing keeping me alive

(No comment) 🤫🤔

I never watched adventure time it never interested me... but i really like when people do stuff like this i am confused and i am fascinated by this card game of yours...

Can you add a Shazbaz card to the game? Shazbaz is a character who is on screen for like 5 seconds in the episode Jermaine

Hey, once you're done with the project, could you releace all of the pdf's and 3d modles to the public so that people who have the resorses could make an irl version of cardwars.

THIS IS EVERYTHING IVE BEEN WAITING FOR! I LOVE NON-TRADITIONAL ELEMENTS AND UNIQUE FACTION AESTHETICS! DOORS FOR THE WIN!

Placing doors onto the field was a great idea. Your slow and steady progress with this game is incredible to watch some days will be faster than others but that's okay especially now that you've started making the actual elements. The ups and downs in IT or game development are at weird times compared to other fields so never doubt yourself and keep making progress towards your goals.

I know it's pretty early in development but I totally can see this card game n VR 😅 there are way to less good card games in vr

I feel like you need the four elements seen in the universe of the show: Candy, slime, fire and ice. And maybe Lumps too?? I feel like these are key to the show and would fit well.

Im really starting to like this now. I was worried for a bit that it wasnt going to be overcomplicated enough. Cause i feel like a certain constant level of confusion over whats going on, feels like a key part of card wars.

It would be really funny and cool if there was a door car that was like a guy with Battering Ram destroying a door. Do you remember that Fairy Oddparents episode on which the parents keep destroying their kids door and saying "I respect your privacy by knocking but asserting my authority by coming in anyway"? You could call the card "the Knock Knocker".

For crystals, it could be nice to have effects that kill and reanimate other creatures to trigger their death effects, or ways to grant extra death effects to your creatures.

I’m super okay and even excited by the idea that each land type adds its own set of bad cards to your deck when ever you choose them or at least has a chance of adding them. It’s a lot of fun trying to figure out how to use bad cards and the start scope of power level in card in the play test has been a lot of fun. I’d even be okay with really annoying ones like cards that you have to play if they’re in your hand or are chaotic and can do things you don’t want them too etc

Seems like your going away from what card wars was. The adventure time card wars that was on iphone and play store was the best you could ask for and so accurate to the show but i guess it would be since they made the show.

this is just a slight pet peeve but i feel like the name ding dong ditcher she be used for a card that destroys door instead of making them. because ding dong ditchers usually waste your time by making u open doors. sorry if this makes people angry

Make an orphan element and have it focus on generating a bunch of orphans the sacrificing them to summon demons

Did you rename this video for the second time now? 😀 Also, love the idea of a Door faction

That one SCP themed with doors will be very happy.

Can we have Doora the Explorer? If there is a door somewhere on the field, she tells you to find it and move it to where she is)

I think a cool idea for an Element would be science or plushies

Door Forest? Not Doorest? C'mon that seems obvious

Dang door forest shoulda been the doorest

Bought fuckin time bros

yoo 20 second gang

YIPPIEEWJR big holes video

I will die if goblin is not an element

I’m early enough the video has twice as many likes as it does views

this game is amazing

just an idea for a single card, a Golb card that gets more/less powerful the more/less types of cards in play, because he gets defeated by harmony maybe he is really powerful but only for a short time because every time a card of the same type as another card in play is played then he gets weak/closer to dying

Great video 👍

Hi

The doors element could focus on adjacency and teleportation while the lizard element focuses on teleportation and aggression. There are only so many aspects to the strategy of gameplay, some elements are going to have to diversify their focus or overlap with others. You might have one element that’s purely aggressive, while another element is a hybrid between aggressive and economic for example. Each aspect of the game shouldn’t be exclusively focused into a single element. You could even have an idea of primary/secondary attributes for each element. Element A and B could both have a focus on economy and adjacency, but element A prioritizes the economic side while element B prioritizes the adjacency side of things. You could say from a design/development standpoint each element has a primary focus, in the case of element A it would be the economy, and a secondary focus, in A’s case adjacency. And any elements that only have one focus would just have that as their primary and secondary effects. Going off the doors, their primary focus is on adjacency with a secondary focus on teleportation, and because teleporting is only a secondary part of the element, it involves the use of doorways instead of unrestricted teleportation, which would be more teleporting than an element with no focus on it would have.

A cool card idea would be "Door with weels " for the more doors or weels debate

Are you planning to use the actual four elements Candy, Slime, Ice and Fire, from the lore? If so, what would their strategies look like? I'd imagine Candy would focus on overwhelming your opponent with many small creatures. It could have creatures that buff each other the more of them there are, or land abilities that incentivize creating massive hordes or underlings Ice would probably be pretty defensive, focusing on limiting and de-buffing your opponent until you're eventually able to wear them down Fire would of course favor aggressive gameplay. It could have mechanics that let you sacrifice your creatures to deal a lot of damage or make it easier to destroy your opponent's lands And maybe Slime could have abilities and features that let you combine all your creatures into one really powerful one. These are just some ideas off the top of my head based on what we see in the 'Elements' mini-series.

The doors element turned out to be way funnier of a concept in reality than on paper. (JUMPSCARE ALERT!)

The puns are just perfect

Make DRAGONS!!! they dont need to be cool dragons they can be fun little goofy dragons

cool

Cool stuff, we had a similar thing to adding doors in our game where we were pigeonholing ourselves by not having enough mechanics so we added minions to our game (same sort of "token" type card idea)

Regarding the board and adjacency being unique mechanics, I'd bring up Faeria and Yu-Gi-Oh, which do feature that. Oh and Artifact I suppose.

Element “Waste”, which could be trash, toxic or even something to do with wastelands, like a “Starving man” or “Mutation”.

My suggestions for elements would be Coins Swords John (every card is just some turtle named John) Pillows Red (opposite of blue) Mirrors

Creature Suggestion: Ding-dong Ditch Digger. You can floop it to search your deck for a Ding-dong Ditcher and put it into your discard pile. Shuffle your deck afterwards. Flavor Text: Ask not for whom the doorbell tolls; it tolls for thee. (No idea if this is balanced but the idea made me chuckle. Loving the project and look into game development.)

Just so you know, Meeple are trademarkes. Use this as you will.

Well, I'm definitely not unsubscribing after that threat.😂

I want a gambling or luck card element. I think having a card that can be strong or completely useless It's very interesting and funny. Could be an RPG element, where you roll a D20. Something like that

Man, I’m really hoping for a solid Wizard Archetype. I feel like Wizards and Doors would synergize well with each other.

an Idea for a element would be something similar to the goblins in MTG. just Imagine the board completely filled with small 1/1 creatures. An example for the name would be knobgoblin

Here’s a card idea: “Makes lands with a pair of doors ADJACENT”

i like the worm card designs a lot, particularly double worm. if the worm faction is expanded i would very much like to see a Doctor Worm card :)

Hey there, just so you know - the card game Fluxx has an official Adventure Time version, which includes a "Floop a Keeper" card: "Discard one of your Keepers to also discard one of an opponent’s Keepers and to take a card at random from that player’s hand and add it to your own. This is called flooping. If the Keeper you discard to floop is Mr. Pig, discard ALL of the other player’s Keepers and take ALL of the cards in that player’s hand." idk if this is useful information for anything but it's an official definition of flooping, at least for Fluxx.

Uhh!! Ohhh!! I got a name idea for the "door thing" place holder! How about you call it "Unhinged door"!

@Mr Holes, what are you using to manage all of the cards you're creating? Do you just use Adobe illustrator files for each card or something else like dextrous?

I love to see this become a real game, I check in on this guy's video for a few mins to see and confirm that, yup! he's doing a great job of making this into a REAL GAME and not some wish knock, I horking love adventure time.

Tysm, I’ve been waiting for someone to do it for YEARS

1:17 hate to nitpick, but Yu-Gi-Oh has a couple adjacent archetypes. Might be helpful for some ideas for more door cards

Love the vibes of this element. I thought of some potential card names just based on puns. The a-door-able cat Truth-or-door At death’s door The possibilities are endless!
