From board game to card game
I have been working on a multiplayer board game (BiteMe!Dice) for a while, and even though it is fun to play around with, the card battle system in the game did not much for me. I hated it.
So I have been looking for plugins to use for this. I could find none. So I took a few of my favorite yanfly plugins, opened RPG Maker and GIMP, and I created my own collecters card game, using Vexed Enigma's Pop!Horror City set. (Yes, that is where I got that whole "!" in the middle of my title from...)
As said, I only use a few yanfly plugins. The entire card game system is made withevents, and events only. (A lot of "Show picture" and "Move picture" going arounf in here)
For now, I got a pretty good base, with a nice stack of unique cards and enemy decks, that will put your skills to the test.
The longer you play, the more cards you unlock. Your deck grows while you play, but so does your enemy's deck. The stronger your deck, the harder the challenge.

Cards
You know what is awesome for a card game? How about some cards! There is 3 different types. There is the regular cards, cards with a death wish (skull), and cards with a battle shout (fist). A death wish, is an ability that triggers when a card is destroyed. A battle shout triggers when a cards is set in a primary slot. This can happen when you play them into a primary slot directly, or when they are shoved forward from a secondary slot.



How to play BiteMe!Cards
When it is your turn, you get to play cards untill you have a card in both primary slots. If you wish, you can also fill up the secondary slot behind them before you end your turn.
At the end of each turn, the upper primary cards (yours and your opponents) will attack each other. And the primary cards on the bottom will do the same. They will all do their attack worth of damage to the opposing card.
If the health of any of them falls below 0, they die. The card gets removed from the table, and if the card has a deathwish, it will be triggered. Then, if there is a card in the secondary slot, it will shove forward.
Destroy your opponents cards, and try to spare your own. The player who runs out of cards first, loses the game.

For now, the game is only playable as a HTML5 browser game. This is because I am adding new cards every day, and I need everything to be up-to-date all the time. Once the game is finished, there will be a downloadable version available.
The game is still in development, but do not let that fool you... Once you get the hang of it, you might lose hours in this little card game, before you even notice it.

Updates!!
I have updated the game with:
- new cards with new powers
- faster AI
- Solved a bug where the game randomly thinks it's a tie.

I did rewrite the whole game to get rid of final tiny bugs (like the timing battleshouts, which sometimes happened after the AI played a card, even though it was casted before.
All changes in a nutshell:
All changes in a nutshell:
- Dynamic background
- Opponent AI (used to play random card from their hand, till their table was full or their hand was empty, but now it can calculate up to 2 turns ahead, if there is enough cards on the table, even when placing secondary cards.)
- Opponent Deck Balance (You now always start the run against the rat, after that the opponents are somewhat random, but still some opponents do show up early in every run, and others only late in the run. Where the 3rd game is still rather easy, the 10th game will be a whole other story. And if you are stll alive after beating them all, they will come back even stronger.)
I debugged 1 tiny thing... So tiny, I don't even remember what it was. But the solution to that problem, caused the game to freeze on players turn, after a battle shout, sometimes. This has been fixed now as well.
The game should run smoothly know. If you still encounter bugs, please notify.
