A creative studio in a shadowy tower, we love telling stories and making games to play with friends. And being weird.

@NoQuarterSoft Hi!
We're developing Chrono Cards on Steam, a time-traveling multiplayer card game.
We're opening up a public playtest very very soon if you wanna help give feedback as we develop!

Two equally important #gamedev updates:

- created an in-game tutorial so we can expand playtesting and
- baked yummy cookies to keep me going

We put up flyers around our college campus to advertise our upcoming Steam game. According to UTM tracking, the low-effort memes we made at the last second are way outperforming the "normal" flyers.

Never underestimate the power of memes I guess LOL

As the artist on Chrono Cards, I need to make sure the art for every card feels interesting, relevant, and complete-- and often the single best finishing touch is a little guy :)

Wishlist Chrono Cards on Steam!

In Chrono Cards, everything revolves around the timeline. Control the timeline, and you're in control of the game. Just be sure you use that power wisely.

It takes discipline to get 20+ cards drawn in a week ⏱️ Art is very subjective work, but there's some concrete details that can help streamline. Let me know what you think of these pieces and what you'd like to see next!

Building the systems is only half the battle: players need to be able to see what's going on! There's a lot more to do, but here are some of the visual improvements we've made so far.

Adding this breaks the rules of my card game... But, the more rules you break, the more fun you'll have! #gamedev

Finding that special something for card art ✨ It can be the littlest details that make the biggest impact, but are also the most fun to play with! Let me know what you think of this style and the art on display here!

your opponent into the middle of a deadly space battle or right under the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs! And maybe if you pay attention, you might find out why you started fighting in the first place... Whatever the reason, get ready for the battle of a thousand lifetimes!

[Weird Mage @weird_mage]

Which theme do you like best for our digital card game? (More details in replies)

1) The in-universe card game inspired real time travel to host a convention with players across time

[Weird Mage @weird_mage]

PITCH 2: When time travelers fight, things get hectic fast! In Chrono Cards, you find yourself locked in a timeline-twisting, paradox-creating battle with time travelers from all sorts of universes. Summon creatures from across timelines to fend off their attacks while warping

order to host the premier convention for players from every point in time. The convention is packed with Medieval knights, the future's brightest inventors, and even the cavemen who first created Chrono Cards. You've got your once-in-all-lifetimes ticket, now it's THE game time!

[Weird Mage @weird_mage]

PITCH 1: In Chrono Cards, attend the one and only Chrono Con, the greatest convention across time! Chrono Cards is, of course, the greatest card game of all time. That's why, inspired by the game's time-traveling mechanics, the master of the Con invented a real time machine in
