Hi everyone,

I’m designing a card game (non-digital) and looking for game dev forums to discuss the development of it / improvements / successes etc and gamedev.net was listed as the number one site for this purpose so I signed up!  However a very short time later It becomes pretty apparent the board is primarily geared toward video games (which I love but am not developing hah). In short would I be welcome to discuss my game here or better looking elsewhere? Ironically the current game is inspired by a video game and a future project I’d like to work on is inspired by low level computer architecture haha but that link is tenuous at best!

Below is an image of the games current state so you can see what I mean.

Eitherway thanks for your time, looking forward to a response!

The Game Design and Theory part of the board covers that type of discussion. Theory, gameplay mechanics, and balancing elements apply just as well to video games as tabletop and card games.

It is quite common for innovative games to start their lives as cards, dice, and notebooks, and most big games see multiple paper-based revisions before a line of code is written. Discussion about your non-digital game's design and theory will fit right in.

Hey thanks for the response that’s great news! When I get a moment I’ll take a browse and go from there.

Regards,

Nyt.
