If you're interested in joining the closed beta, please feel free to join the Google group at https://groups.google.com/g/thistles-path-beta

The Apple open beta will be going live as soon as Apple approves the app so I'll be looking to have Apple users join in the fun very soon.

So earlier this week I posted about how some people online kind of roasted my kid's art and even ran it through AI to, "Show how it could be better."

I showed him the thread and just the fact that he was getting support and he's been more driven to help. We just built a fully fleshed out card game as side content into our RPG and unlike almost any other mobile game our there, you can freely trade cards with your friends.

Thank you all for the support. Some people expressed interest in updates and this seems like a cool one

With the beta coming out this month, a lot of people have asked me about a card game with my creatures. I play a lot of magic: the gathering in real life so it's only natural. So, I built one. Meet the card game companion on Thistle's Path where you can play through several CPU opponents or even play against your friend's constructed decks while also being able to collect rare and even serialized cards with each set.

The card game is simple, you play cards face-down, taking turns on who goes first. Once you've each played, most Nyxians are delayed. They flip face up and you're able to calculate the next turn's defense. As your turns pass, you can grow and evolve your lanes with new and exciting cards with deeper and more complex abilities as you work your army of Nyxians to take out your opponent. Your mana increases by one each turn allowing you to play stronger, better, and more Nyxians.

I am still working on getting my Android developer account set up but I now have a functional APK for the demo with about 30-40 monsters programmed in and accessible to users. Catching, battling, trading, abilities, and more with new content all the way up to floor 40 of the infinite maze and any content in the demo will carry over to the main game. If interested, message me here with your Gmail or hit me up on Discord where my username is lanceifer. (With the period).

Here's the first 5 minutes of mine and my son's fully hand-drawn 2-D rogue-lite monster catcher complete with intro, movement, combat system, catch system, and guidance. We've got over 100 monsters to show off on an infinitely flowing maze that allows you to level to your heart's content while unlocking exciting new moves and abilities or collect rare variants to your heart's content and trade them with your friends to form the ultimate team of Nyxians to fell Twilitix and his hoardes of corrupted Nyxians. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions! For the record, multiple font options exist so you don't have to go with our created font.

realized the video hates me so here's a YouTube link as well:

Hello everyone! I'm here today to show off the first views of Thistle's Path. This is a game idea that my son and I have had for awhile and we're excited to finally bring it to fruition.

Thistle's Path is an endlessly expansive monster catcher RPG where you can collect over 100 different monsters and their rare variants and battle them against one another in a combat system based on billiards. That said, it's so much more.

Features:

Endless Dungeons - Thistle's Path's programatically created dungeons make for an infinite maze in the labyrinth allowing you to train your way up using newer and stronger Nyxians and with each floor you pass, the Nyxians that become accessible to you grown and change expanding your roster and arsenal.

Online Trading and Battling - Whether you want to throw your monsters at one another at their peak or meet each other on common grounds and levels, battle is a core element of this game. Battle and trade your friends to your heart's desire, allowing you to obtain new, rare, and exciting Nyxians or even special variants.

Uncapped Levelling - Because the focal point is community, online play is a centerpiece of our game. As such, with is trading and battling one another ad infinium, levelling is entirely uncapped as are the monsters you can go against.

Rare Variants - Thistle's Path ha multiple rare variants to catch of any Nyxian. Whether you want the illustrious celestial or the dreaded inverse, Thistle's Path will allow you to catch and trade to improve your collection. Build yourself up in the community and trade your way into being the best of the best.

Abilities - Every Nyxian family has an entirely unique ability, adding depth and complexity to battles and making you revisit learned strategies to find the best way to muscle forward.

Entirely unique Nyxians - Every Nyxian in the game that you catch will have unique stat modifiers, letting you farm for a truly optimal beast to face off against your most formidable foes.

Mini-games - Mining, fishing, and rumor has it that there's a built-in trading card game just around the corner...

Anyway, I suck at marketing but if you have any questions, I'd love to help out. Welcome to Thistle's Path!
