Sorry about the wait on this one, but I wanted to finish all the backend work before uploading another devlog. With all the changes I made, the game is now completley (as far as I know) bugfree, feels very clean to interact with, and is so much easier to make changes/add things to.
Because of all the backend work, I only got around to adding one card this time, a Dweller card, but a lot of the fundemtnal mechanics behind dweller cards (and almost everything else) has been finished, so adding new cards should accelerate from now on.

I'm thinking about perhaps making a discord, so I can add short videos/images of in devlopment cards, prepare for future playtests, or just disscuss design decisions more regularly, but I also don't know if there's enough interest to support a whole discord (plus I'm not sure I want to admin something like that). (perhaps James would be cool with me using his art channel or something? I just don't want to spam his discord).

As always, feel free to give any feedback, or suggestions, I'm always happy to chat.

Hey everyone, I'm Jamie.

I've been loving the Discount Dan books, and since the universe feels perfectly suited for a deck-building game, I decided to make one. These past few months, I’ve been developing a PC game called Discount Dan: Everything Must Die!

I originally planned to do a quick 2-week reskin of an old Marvel: Legendary clone I built many years ago. But after some "gentle scope creep," I realized I wanted more than a simple clone, and it quickly evolved into its own unique game.

To keep myself motivated and accountable, I'm starting a weekly/bi-weekly devlog series. I’d love to get this community's input as I build.

Feedback is welcome, I take criticism well, so please don't be shy with your thoughts. But keep it realistic I'm trying to keep my goals grounded, meaning no sudden pivots to a modern engine just for flashy visual effects. I'm basically an old man, and I'm sticking with my 10 year old IDE if it kills me.

Check out Devlog #1 here and let me know what you think!

Also, if James see's this, I'm not trying to step on your toes or anything, so if you're not a fan of my fan game, just say the word, and it's gone, no hard feelings 😄
