Artistic art! I need an artist that can do the pictures. I'm fine with icons and background pics, but not pictures.

If we were to finish this

If we were to finish this game, would we get it published?
Maybe we should make a list of some of the cards there would be.
Would you have it set in your world?

I already have many cards

I already have many cards designed for my version and about 1/3 of the graphics done. If I can get 100 cards completed, I will start looking for someone who can publish it. I'm intending to start a website soon called (edited to protect from ransoming). Avakia is the fictional world the game takes place in. The Christian version would take place in the Old Testament.

I also have an older version of the card game that I've used to test the system, It's extremely consistent and very balanced, brains always triumph! (meaning I always win, even with weaker cards)

"The Christian version would take place in the Old Testament."
I guess we can do that.
Or maybe a fantasy world, with out magic, and instead, have the god our God. And then we could use that world for some other games.
Or just do both .
There is more content for a OT one.

I don't think you'll get a good artist to work for you unless you pay well. Except for the Christian version. Someone might volunteer for that.

Also, did you r3j!5+er that d3r-Maine yet? (because if not and someone sees this they can r3j!5+er it and then try to sell it to you for a ransom) (I'm spelling it weird on purpose in case they search for those terms)

As for getting artists to work for me, I'll promise any participating artists; something I haven't decided on. Maybe a percentage of the profits, or maybe some limited edition cards that could be worth a lot if the game ever becomes big.

That sounds cool. Gives you greater freedom.

Getting an artist is going to be hard.
If you can get an artist that is a big card game fan, they may do it for the limited edition cards.

When are you going to do the w3b$ite?
What host do you plan to use?

Ubiquity Hosting, they give a reasonably good deal, but it's their customer service that people really seem to like, and I'm going to need it. I'm not sure when I'll get it up, but I bet if I register the domain and start the monthly payments I'll be motivated to work on it.

I figure if I get enough people interested in my card game I might get lucky and one of them might be a reasonable artist. Believe me, an artist will have a huge amount of power over my card game if they will work for free, and of course I'll give them loads of freebies and bonuses. If I can get a good artist, they will enjoy a godlike status.

Money shouldn't be a problem, taking out the trash should cover it. I have several options for publishers, one company that manufactures a christian card game already, and one of my friends has an uncle who is a printer and ownes the proper machinery that could make the cards.

Unfortunately, I can't use the picture, it's from dreslough.com and I don't have permission to use it in any final design, so I'm just borrowing it for the proto.

I'm glad you like it, I'll make a second one for you to see. In the meantime, do you have any suggestions for improvment?

But you could do a another cad game using crayon art, and maybe have it so kids can submit their art. That way, you would be set for the life of the game . There may be a market for it, I've got to see.

Btw, have you ever tried to make a paper and pencil game before?
