Since Wagic was released, I’ve received many requests to code such or such card. I’ve put lots of efforts into the parser to handle the most frequent effects, and Wagic is now one of the most promising card games in that aspect, since we’ve gone from 300 cards to more than 1000 in a few months, with lots of parser improvements.
Now I’d like to focus a bit more on the other components of the game, but I know people (including me) always want more cards, because that’s what a collectible cards game is about. So I decided to come up with this solution:
This is a “game” for all people who donate until April,1st 2009.
With each donation, give me the name (and the expansion name) of a card you’d like to see in the next release of Wagic, and I’ll add it!
If you prefer, you can invent an original card, its name, its description, and I’ll put it in a brand new set. How cool would that be, cards that can be found only in Wagic and nowhere else! (I’m sure everyone has dreamed once to play the “10/10 protection from everything” Chuck Norris legendary creature!).
Rules:
- people who have donated/donate for Wagic between august 2008 and April 1st, 2009 can participate
- Donators send me an email at wagic dot the dot homebrew at gmail. The email must contain the name (and expansion name) of two cards (I need one card as a backup in case I can’t code the first one).
- Instead of official cards, you can give me the description of an original card that you created (name, cost, abilities,…), as long as it respects the rules of MTG.
- The cards MUST require me to write some code. In other words, the cards must NOT be compatible with wagic 0.4.1. If you’re not sure, send me an email anyway, I’ll reply to you and ask you to choose another card if that’s the case. For reference, a list of “offical” cards in wagic 0.4.1 can be found here . But remember some other cards can be found on the forums too.
- You agree that this is not a promiss. I’ll do my best to create the cards you ask for, but as always, you donate for the work that has been put into the game so far, not in the hope that I will become your employee
Of course, the cards created that way will be available for everyone once they are ready!
Right now this is a one time only event, I might not renew that kind of offer in the future, depending on my motivation and the success of this thing.
Looking forward to your requests 
In the past releases, I’ve focused on increasing the number of playable cards. I think this went pretty well, but the more cards we add, the more the AI looks stupid, as it can only use a very small percentage of the cards. So for next release I’m trying to focus on AI improvements (don’t take my word on it though, I generally change my mind several times a week on what I work on).
It’s been a while! For people who somehow got used to the “monthly release” rate we had so far, sorry if we made you wait, but it’s for the greater good.
