Title: Freefall Card Game Art
Post by: Joat on December 11, 2006, 09:08:10 PM
These are some of the cards for my new freefall game (not on the market -- yet). Though they are in the art section of these forums, they are the very antithesis of art.

Well, good art, anyway.

Yeah, not some half assed card game like the thousands of card games already out there.  Where's that damn "You Fail" card when you need it?

I don't actually think that, but it is pretty funny. :lol

What is this "life" you speak of?

You're not expected to know every comic out there.

Just the ones with the same name as what you're suggesting. A quick google would be worth looking at...

Yeah, it's quite clear that you're ripping off Kingdom of Loathing (http://www.kingdomofloathing.com)

If you aren't, YOU SHOULD BE :V

Believe it or not, I am not ripping them off. The stick drawings come from the fact that such is the only art style I have. Considering how I am with a pen (or mouse) and considering that the best art program I have is Paint…

Jesus, you guys are dicks. Freefall was a term before it was a comic, they don't lay claim to  it. Do you go around whining at people that have the name Jack?

And bullocks to the art! I played Munchkin the other day for the first time and it was the most fun I've had in forever. The art isn't "amazing" and indeed you could play entirely without the art.

I named my card game Freefall because that is the tactic I used to create it. I just jumped into the task. In the beginning, I had no idea what I was doing.

May you reach Terminal Velocity with it, then.

Heh. I’ve actually test-played it with people. It’s a fairly strategic game. I have, on numerous occasions, thought, “Ah, crud! If I hadn’t wasted that card earlier, I wouldn’t have lost.”

is that fly swatter a precursor to the flyswatter of doom used by a ninja mouse mod of doom i used to know?

I just felt like making a flyswatter. That’s where it came from. However, there are a few parody cards, like Slideshow Bob and Ix 36.

Paint.NET (http://www.getpaint.net)
This needs MS .NET 2 (.NET 3 probably works too), which bloats the download if you don't have already it

The GIMP (http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net)
...for Windows. The GIMP is a little unwieldy for just drawing but probably fine if you've never used anything else.

openCanvas 1.1 might also work for what you are going for... besides, all the cool people use oC; you want to be cool, don't you?

Well, now is the time of new art. Five new cards have been digitalized.

And yes, I am still using paint. It may not be the best thing out there, but it has everything I need and it is very simple to use.

Also, I modified the title slightly so there will (hopefully) be no misunderstanding.
