I recently posted my trailer here asking for your honest thoughts, and I’m honestly blown away by the response. I’ve read every single comment, and the suggestions you guys provided helped me so much. Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to help an indie dev out! :)

Hi everyone!

I am beyond thrilled to finally be announcing Relic Reaver, the Eldrich Poker game.

I’ve spent the last three decades in the industry, developing for everything from PS3 and PS4 to the PS Vita, mobile and platforms that don't even exist anymore.

But to be honest, the last few years I felt like I was losing my passion, so I decided to break free and create something 100% my own. Relic Reaver is the result: a blend of Roguelike Deckbuilder and Poker mechanics, wrapped in a dark Lovecraftian aesthetic.

I’m aiming to have a Demo ready in about a month, but since today is the official announcement, I’d love to hear your first impressions.

Does the "Eldritch Poker" concept resonate with you?

I'll be around to answer any questions about the game !

One button can refresh the shop inventory in both areas. I'm going to turn this into a Relic effect.🐱

Realm of Advent is an endless eerie loop of Roguelike deckbuilding strategy. In this addictive card game, craft your unique deck, launch auto-battles with one tap, and unleash insane chain reactions from over 300 cards and relics to conquer mighty Apostle bosses!

The game is still in active development, but our Steam page is now live! If this sounds like your jam, adding us to your wishlist would mean the world to us. 🙏🚀

I bring some honest gameplay video from our pre-alpha development. And some thoughts:

Most rogue like deckbuilders have a static "flow" encoded:
Fight -> Choose a reward between 3 cards -> Repeat

In our game Oneiron Expanse, we’re adding up to that loop as we moved the deckbuilding directly into the combat.
One of the mechanics we introduced for that matter is a "Steal" mechanic: if you last-hit an enemy with a unique Dagger card (there's 1-per-deck), you permanently select and take a card from their deck.

We found that It forces players to think three steps ahead: You aren’t just trying to "overcome the opponent" anymore but hunting for specific resources while trying to stay alive. It’s hard, it’s high-stakes, it's rewarding, it gives you a secondary goal (and we at the studio love it)

It has cascading consequences too, as you might be stealing a card of another archetype (of the 4 available) that your deck might not have. It is difficult to balance but we liked the fact that it opens your deck at any time to add new archetypes and explore combos and synergies beyond the classic predesigned ones.

Now we would love to hear about your opinion. Do you like this approach better than the typical 3 card choice reward, or something to complement it?
Feedback please!

Beards Go Underground is the Mining Deckbuilder. You build a deck of pickaxes, bombs, pets and other utilities to demolish the mines and find some juicy gold!

I wanted to make a deck builder that was about something other than fighting and gambling. So here it is! A wild wedding planning game about managing a deck of terrible wedding guests.
