only the resource icon is different, and it’s not very intuitive. I haven’t figured out the best solution yet
Simplest solution would be to use bright and contrasting colors, even at the cost of sacrificing a bit of visual style. Clarity > beauty in UI.
You may look at what I have done in my game – although my visual style is much more minimalist, so it is easier for me.
I may look for a better way to display text in the future.
As a first step, consider using a some font with good low-resolution hints, or maybe even raster font. For example, I use Ubuntu Condensed, which does not fit “fantasy” theme at all, but is very readable as small size.
balance between Mana and Gold resources is a good foundation,
Although I did not say that last time, I did read some cards in the “library” and I feel that card sets has some depth and thoughtfulness. My point was mostly that it is still way too similar to playing yet another new expansion of MtG. On the one hand, you can take it as a compliment, since most hobbyist card games do not reach that level easily. But on the other, I still feel lack of “justification” for player to spend time on your game.
I mostly used MidJourney.
Ah, pity. Given your background, you may consider using local models instead. It is harder and requires decent GPU, but gives you much more control and ability to guide generation process in case your need to keep overall style.
I am certainly open for more play-testing in the future.
