A downloadable game

i'm trying to make a trading card collecting game. it's not going well

TECH DEMO FEATURES

  • Buy packs of cards
  • Open those packs and watch a cute animation
  • Look at the cards you have
  • Go 'wow caroline, it's so impressive that you managed to get the basics of this system working AND have a little bit of detail flair in the basic card info AND do that animation'

PROBLEMS THAT EXIST

  • game doesn't save
  • game looks ugly
  • game does not communicate what the buttons do very well
  • not much to do
  • i haven't done the art yet
  • no one cares about my dumb ocs
  • The more expensive pack of cards should be giving you ten, but it's only giving you five. I don't know why.
  • I don't know if it's possible to get cards above Uncommon rarity, I haven't managed to pull it off yet in testing. It's not clear if I've weighted it badly or if something is actually Wrong With The Code, you know? They're all programmed in, I just never pull them
  • It shouldn't be possible to get a pack of five Common cards, but it is. I literally do not know why that is happening

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

  • art
  • sound
  • saving
  • ways to get money that don't suck
  • more cards more characters
  • sort cards into stacks based on set
  • put one of each card in a set into a binder, collect sets
  • sell extra cards
  • sell completed binders
  • secret and special rarity cards
  • figures and toys
  • some kind of time system for shop stock
  • information about sets and characters so you know what's going on
  • achievements probably
  • i dont want there to be card game gameplay but i might have to make card game gameplay. it's probably just going to be fucking top trumps
  • figure out how to let people mod their own cards in
