@Wololo: i can add a new swamp of “175089″ at the end of deck1
it could be used and i saw the new swamp in the ai’s deck
but when i add “129465″ Angel of Mercy to the deck
it keeps crushing while i start the game

one advice: lower the price of starter and booster in the shop and raise the price of those single cards.
it seems to me no reason to buy booster as i can just buy card i like in a relatively low price

Awesome, and thanks for the reply. I had checked the bugs list after I wrote the comment, sorry about the repeat of a currently already known bug. I didn’t read the pdf, as I don’t have pdf acrobat or other program to view such format. When I return from deployment I’ll check it out. I had to remove all the fireballs from my deck because I wasn’t aware of having to click back on the fireball. : / Looking forward to chainlightning, fork, and counterspell, cancel to be working the most of any card. Is multi-land working yet? I haven’t seen anything on this yet. Sorry, for asking if it has already been answered. Anyways, I love this game that you have made so far, I hope you don’t quit working on it. I’ll definitely donate.

@DangerMouse :
Lord of the pit : this bug is already in the list

Fork : That’s one of the cards that are impossible to add with the current engine. All “copy” effects are currently not doable, so no Fork, no Clone, etc… This will happen eventually, I hope !

Name the decks : Yes, that would definitely be great. I’m just too lazy to add an OSK, but I guess there are libs available for that

Chainlightning is not available yet

Fireball : The way to use this exact card is in the manual.pdf file >.<
Because Fireball can accept several targets, here is how you have to use it : click on all the targets you want, then click once again on the fireball card. It’s a bit difficult to understand, so I’ll try to improve that in the future…

Custom avatars : This will be needed when we have adhoc play, but it has low priority as currently you can change the file in the Res/player directory

Another nice touch would be custom avatars. Allow multiple images to be selected within the game. I don’t know if I can just change the images myself, I imagine I could, but it would be a neat feature to be able to add multiple images to the folder and then while in WtH be able to select the available avatars from a list while it shows the image selected on the list.

I actually came up across a small bug, I got “Lord of the Pit” from the store and when I sort the the cards to add to my deck he was available under artifacts and whites.. not sure if he was available under all colors, but that’s what I saw, and still see. I can test it further if you like to see if he’s just showing up under all colors. *shrug* Just tryin’ to help out.

Anyway you can add Fork to the cards list? I’m not sure if it’s already available or not, but it would be really good if you kept track of which cards you have made available to the game and that way every time you add more or add more from others it would be easy to see updates to the card list.

Also, a really good option for the decks is if the user can NAME the decks instead of them just being called deck1 through what deck*. This way you can name them after a theme that you stylized a deck too. I always gave my mtg decks names, like the bloody bruise deck, hence it was focused on direct damage and counter spells, aka lightning, chainlightning and fork, and was split into 3 colors only, red, black and blue. Also chainlightning, is that one currently already available?

Another problem I’m having is getting fireball to work. If I aim it at 1 target it just turns red and doesn’t continue on to damage phase when I’m done. It also ignores when I try to aim it at the player (in this case the AI bot).

Hope the feedback helps.

Thanks for the support !
I’m working hard so that next release contains as less copyrighted content as possible. So the card pictures won’t be released with the game, although the game will still be able to load the pictures if they are available.

Awesome! Well good luck! You’ve definitely got a fan here! I hope adhoc support will be in the works eventually. The game looks great by the way. Some cards are hard to read though due to transparency setting while playing. I hope we don’t lose the awesome graphics that are going into the decks, deck manager and shop due to copyright. Stick it to the man! Keep your shit the way you are doing it. If it weren’t done by you that way, I would have done it myself.

Hey DangerMouse
Unfortunately, bug fixes don’t progress as fast as I would like. On average, I can fix one card bug per day, and add one major feature or fix one major bug per week.
I’m currently working on the Deck Editor, however fixing the music has low priority because I’ve spent almost one week on it already and didn’t find the cause. I’m afraid the JGE library needs some fixes there, and I currently don’t have the knowledge for that.
My current goals for next release are a better Deck Editor, and an improved IA, but I change my mind everyday, so who knows

@Wololo: I’m sure you hear this a lot, but how have bug fixes come along, have you had any progress? I’ll just have to remove the music. Bummer. I’d reather have the music be controlled from within the game, but I suppose for now I’ll just use the music prx plugin. *shrug* thanks! I hope this resolves the issue with creating decks, but from the sounds of it, this isn’t an uncommon problem with others using it as well. GOOD LUCK ON THIS PROJECT! I’ve definitely added your site to my favorites list and I’ll be checking back regularly for updates!
