It‘s crazy to me that with a few of my games turning 10 years old, I had a players come and say „I played this game when I was a kid“ and now they are 20 and going to colledge. But I was still 10 years older as them now, when I made those games. A true hide the pain moment 🥲.

Currently working on adding @maxfiedler.bsky.social new interaction FX animations to #CardCrawl2. Here you can see Master Wu's hero spell card (Meditate) in action, which refreshes already used inventory items.
