Hi, My name is ATK and I help out with GLHF.TV with some graphics and I make some SC2 fanart as well (actually I don't draw much compare to any other artists...)
+ Show Spoiler +I've recently created a community site called www.sketchpad.tv a community where I support different kind of artists with streaming tech and hope to build a general Root to "art stream community". Thank you TL for letting me register a stream here!
I started this project for the fun/gift for castors and pro gamers of SC2 e-sports for all their hard work.
I am only a diamond protoss and don't play many games (50 ladder games total around there) I do enjoy watching GSL for being korean, Day[9]tv, any other E-sports material of any video games (it's the greatest thing ever). However, my knowledge to Starcraft II is lacking compare to most people. Therefore I request help to the Team Liquid community to help me out on various starcraft 2 knowledge.
I will start explaining the game now.
MoecraftII [The Card Game] is just an alpha name..
I want to draw cute versions all the tier 1 units of starcraft2 and use them in the cards
[hence where i got the name MoecraftII]
Here's an example of what units might look like (Drawing I made for Kingston HyperX):
+ Show Spoiler +
Basically there are 54 cards
2 players each draw 10 cards
within these 10 cards players use 5 to "create" an army
So the game might be heavily luck based/skill based.
Current Card composition I am thinking of is :
5 x Zealots 5 x Stalker 5 x Sentries
5 x Marines 5 x Mauraders 5 x Reapers
5 x Zerglings(x2) 5 x Roaches 5 x Banelings
45 Unit cards
Guardian Shield , Charge , Blink
Stimpack , Concussive Shells , Jetpack (speed) , Baneling speed , Kite[Micro]
9 Upgrade / Special cards
total 54 cards
So you can build from 5 x Zealots to 2 x Mauraders + Stim + Concussive + Kite
I've tested some Unit vs Unit compositions at my stream
(feedback would've been great..)
but this seems highly opinionated and I didn't want to decide on set rules. Also it's way too hard for me to see if these set of cards will make the game too confusing.
It is inevitable to erase all form of arguments that has been created during the game, but want to erase as much as possible.
For example lets say TheGunrun vs Day[9] plays a round..
Gunrun puts 3 Mauraders + Kite + stim
Day[9] puts 4 Zealots + 1 Maurader
who's going to win?
(I don't know my micro is too bad..) -
How good the kiting should be? [automaton2000 *cough]
Pure Unit composition is pretty easy, by testing 10~20 times :
Zealots
Mauraders
Stalkers
Roach
Reapers
Zerglings
Banelings
Sentries
Marines
Were the ranks Top = strongest
However, when i started to add special cards into play, I just couldn't organize the game.
I am hoping for some feedback about this game, if it's going to be interesting or not..
[I talked to Gunrun about it and he said it's pretty interesting for a Drinking game]
possibly lol..
I would use it for drinking games yeah..
I would request some help in TeamLiquid..
Discussion on composition vs composition
Any special Rules or add cards to make the game more interesting
Any Design ideas
Game rules
Anything interesting.
I would be streaming my card drawing process as much as I can,
but ultimately, I want to constantly discuss the balance issues of this game
"how would this game be more skill oriented?"
for sure max card number has to be 54..
there were some ideas where I should put more special cards than unit cards to make it even rarer to grab units of the same kind...
Yeah these balance is just way out of my line [makes my head explode]
so I would love some feedbacks!
sorry for having such a long thread, thank you for your time.

Moe as in this?

Sounds a lot like Cardcraft or whatever the name was from Warcraft III where you built your own deck and faced off vs other players that made their own decks and obtained better cards as you leveled up by winning and such.
|
hahah "Moe"
and yes I think i tried that UMS game before, but it's too complicated for me to design something like that lol
|
Draw first, figure out the game later. ( I just wanna see cutey units :3 )
Also, if you make a unit cards cost food like in real SCII game instead of a card slot, the game would make more sense and easier to balance. ie. A marine should not have the same cost as a stalker. Some skill would be hard to balance as well, such as guardian shield and stim. It's just impossible to crunch the number or do test for every composition with those skills. I never play card game seriously, so I don't know what else to suggest 
|
I like the idea. I am a huge board/card game nut. I was actually thinking of doing something similar myself. Go for it!
|
I really(!) like the idea.
Plus that your characters look soooo awesome! 
Watching the stream right now, very relaxing. ^-^
I think the link to sketchpad.tv in the first spoiner shouldn't include the ",", at least for me says the site doesn't exist if I don't delete it manually. 
Keep up this great work! ♥

I love it! Tuned into the stream too, good music, good viewer interaction (the various face requests!)
Keep at it hombre!

( ಠ益ಠ)
Was entertaining and fun to watch, will definitely try and tune in again when possible!

Your drawings look like anime characters fused in SC2 costumes, cute stuff ^^
Wish you could make a DT or HT one though 
|
I'm sorry, maybe I'm not reading carefully enough, but is there a place where you actually explain the rules of the game?
|
You have some skills bro, and i can see its hardwork, considering the amount of time and detail you put into each of the sketches.
Keep it up, will be sure to follow you on more drawings

uh.... darn it.. lol.. (didn't plan it)
hopefully it isn't too much for those ppl :<
|
wow
they look so cute
Can't wait to see them all
As for the game itself, I think it is really difficult to solve your question because an open field battle would certainly flavors the one with higher speed
|
Man I love the artwork, can't wait to see more. What about a kind of MTG route? Play mineral/gas cards and different units/upgrades cost different amounts when the resource cards are activated. Could have all sorts of card types, from units/upgrades, to stuff like expansions which lets you put out more mineral/gas cards, positional bonuses that give all ranged or all melee units bonuses etc. I've a few ideas on how to make it a bit different while using some of the same mechanics if you're interested.

Sounds like a great idea, thanks for the opinion (although it feels too complicated) but I do wish to end up like those type of card games if there's enough work put into it ;p

Saw the topic name, thought "probably will be nice, maybe a little cute."
Then I looked at the pics, and I had a moegasm. Excellent job.

The game sounds cool however I'm more interested in the artwork that you make, because it's quite amazing in my opinion. It's sad that this doesn't get much attention, since I think your characters are very cute and gorgeous.
Keep up the good work!

Wow love the marauder, my favourite by far. Brilliant stream btw, didn't think watching people draw would be so entertaining. I always have it on, such a shame i missed the marauder drawing.
|
Baneling and Zerglings are my favourites but they all look amazing. Keep doing what you're doing. Can't wait to see it when it's done.

looking forward to the sentry
also, you might want to change the thread name to 'moecraft II', since you have to search for 'moecraftii' to actually find it
here's a little gif I made for the reaper
let it load before watching

Zerglings and Marine are the best I think, looking forward to more.
