Hunduel Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 CARD CASTLE INTRODUCTION Card Castle is a Yu-Gi-Oh! variant designed exclusively for online playing. The gameplay will feature some major modifications compared to the original game, and designed both for casual players and competitive tournaments. Unlike other CCGs, Card Castle will have some new rulings that will completely vary the gameplay. FEATURES Features that you cannot find anywhere else: - The design of the cards will feature a "textless full art" template, as the game isn't designed as a paper specific game. It is designed as a Digital Only card game.- Completely new and different Types and Attributes. The former will be called as "Races", and the latter will be called as "Affiliations" here, which will be more like "creeds" of the creatures in that Affiliation.- Two creature types will be introduced at the launch of the game: "Normal monsters" that are in your Main Deck, and "Evo monsters" that are in your Extra Deck. (Of course, "Normal" monsters will still have effects.)- The game will be archetype-specific since the release. However, these are deck archetypes rather than card archetypes. An archetype is based on a Race/Affiliation combination, but even in an archetype, there will be sub-archetypes with minor differences.- The archetypes will be constantly updated equally, and will be much bigger than several archetypes in YGO. RULINGS Here you can read the basic rulings & deck building rules/advices of the game. Still work in progress, but only advanced things are missing now. [spoiler=BASICS]- Card Castle is a two-player customizable card game (CCG), where each player uses their own deck. A player can have 4 copies of any cards (except "unique" cards, that only can have 1 copy per deck), and must have at least 40 cards in their deck. Along with the "Main" deck, there is an "Extra Deck" for other specific cards.- Each player stars with 8000 Life Points (LP). If one player's LP reaches zero, they lose the game. They also lose the game if they run out of cards and cannot draw from their deck.- To attack their opponents and reduce their LP to zero, they must Summon Creatures that are quintessential in this game. Once per turn, You can Summon any creatures from their hand, but each creatures have a different way to be used. The lower the level, the lower their stats are, however, low level creatures can be used for their powerful effect. In contrary, high level creatures has way better stats, but their effects are specific and not that powerful. For example, Level 4 creatures usually can only activate their effect when they destroy another creature by battle.- There are another type of creature introduced in the beginning of the game, and these are Evo Creatures. They are different from "Normal" Creatures, since they aren't in your Main Deck, but in your "Extra" Deck and can be Summoned by using your normal creatures.- Summoning an Evo Creatures does not take yor "Normal" Summon, as it is treated as "Extra Summon". However, you can only Extra Summon once per turn, so you have 1 Normal and 1 Extra Summon in a turn. Also, you cannot use a create as a Material for the Summon of an "Extra Deck monster" during the same turn when it was Summoned.- Aside from creatures, the game will contain "actions" and "reactions". Actions can only be used during your turn and can be activated from your hand immediately, while reactions can be used in your opponent's turn, but must be Set face-down and cannot be used the turn it was Set. - Also, reactions ARE the only cards that can be activated in reaction to an other card's effect. For example, if someone uses a creature's effect, you cannot activate an action in answer to that effect, nor another creature's effect. You can only answer to cards by reactions. Because of their nature, reactions will have only effects that actually reacts to another cards - so you can only use them when *something* happens, when you can actually react to something (if one of your creatures is destroyed, when you lose LPs, and so on). [spoiler=DECK BUILDING]- As previously said, your deck must contain 40 cards, and you can use 4 copies of a card per deck, except unique cards, which can only have one copy per deck.- Extra Deck size is 10. Same rule goes here too: 4 copies of a card per Extra Deck, except unique cards, which can only be used at 1 copy of the card per Extra Deck.- The game will have deck types not based on their name, but on their type combinations. While some cards will be "neutral" and can be added to your deck, and there will be "multi-type" decks too, in most cases (at least in the beginning of the game), you choose your deck by choosing a combination of "affiliations" (colors) and creature type. For example, SUN/HUMAN is a valid deck that is based on "united we stand" strategy.- Deck mixturing is NOT prohibited, just not recommended, since most cards (at least at the beginning of the game) will only work with specific combinations. So, mixturing SUN/HUMAN cards with AQUA/BEAST monsters may be not the best idea, except if you have a hyper combo in your mind.- HOWEVER, it doesn't mean that you cannot build creative decks: each combination will have different goals by your decision. For example, MAGMA/UNDEAD will be an archetype that "mills" its own deck (sending cards from their deck to their own graveyard). However, you can choose from two different types of "milling": you can go by quality by deciding which cards you actually want to send to the Graveyard - but it will only send a few cards to the Graveyard - or you can go by "quantity" strategy by sending LOTS of cards, but randomly. And as soon as new Extra cards will be introduced, the possibilities by using those cards will increase the different strategies. DUELING PORTAL As soon as the game is approved, I will start uploading the game in "sets". Sets will be upgrades similar to either trial/structure decks and/or boosters. CREDITS Thank you everyone who contributed and/or enjoying this project. However, some honorable mentions for the people who helped the most: - Grezar: Not only he helped me in the template, but also made a structure deck template I used for the first picture.- Thalzon, Magellan, Xstutz: Graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dova Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Seems very interesting, especially for an Infinity Wars players! Noting interest. Just curious what you meant here: Also, you cannot use a create as an "Extra Summon Material" during the same turn when it was Summoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunduel Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Seems very interesting, especially for an Infinity Wars players! Noting interest. Just curious what you meant here: Thank you! I'm glad you like the project.Ah, I was really tired when I wrote some of the parts in the ruling section. I guess I need to rewrite a sentence and two. What I meant is that a monster cannot be used as an Material for the Summon of an Extra Deck monster in the same Turn when you Summoned it. So it doesn't matter if you Normal or "Extra Summon" (Special Summon equivalent, which will be a bit different) a monster, it gets "Summoning Sickness" the turn it was Summoned. Also, I forget to include the details about Evo Monsters, and Extra Deck in general. I will include them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunduel Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Modified the rulings in some places. Also, I forgot to mention how the addition of cards will work, so let me explain that too. For the first "Season", I will release 5 "deck types" that you will be able to modify as you wish, as I release several additional cards for each deck types. After that, you will be able to playtest not only the decks, but also the game itself. Soon, I will allow for people to submit not only their own ideas for these deck types, but also to create their own deck types. In this game, you will be also able to create completely new Types for your own taste. Each submissions will be judged by the game's "coordinators", and the chosen cards will be added to the next "Season". Sometimes we will also submit some "Mid Season" cards if we want to refresh a game. So even though the game seems to be only "ruled" by some chosen moderators, this is quite the contrary: even though we want you at the beginning to discover the game's nature first, later, you will be able to post your own cards too. There's only one difference between other format's submissions and Card Castle: you only have to post the card's text. The art and template will be created by us to fit the overall design of the game. If there's still some questions unanswered, feel free to ask it here!

VampireofDarkness Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I was in support of this when you posted the idea in DA, and I am support of it as you post it here! Really looking forward to seeing what this has to offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatMed Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 we definitely need a DP for this !!and I may make an Archetype and send it yo you :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunduel Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 The launch will be postponed, because a few things still needs to be done in Duel Portal. Until then, I started to work on a Wikia site for the format that will be posted as soon as the basics are done (still work in progress). However, if you have any questions, or just want a few cards to be posted here, I can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunduel Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 While it still misses some cards, feel free to check out the Wikia I have been working for a while for the game. It is featuring lots of additional information (like skills, cards, etc.):http://cardcastle.wikia.com/wiki/Booster_Set_1:_Five_Elements- The first booster for the game, and while not each card is uploaded, the 1/4 of the cards is up for now. I think it is much easier to organize all the card in such a site rather than post it here comment by comment. As soon as we start the format by Booster 1, I will allow submissions after than, so feel free to suggest or think about ideas already if you're interested in the format!

mr. waifu Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'm interested, although I don't think I could so much since I can't access DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Considering Hunduel hasn't been on lately (or even made updates), chances are that he's forgotten about this format or ditched plans to advance it further. But in the event this is wrong, PM me to unlock this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
