After watching Yu-gi-oh, playing pokemon, and becoming intelligent from solitaire, it is time to create a card game...in 2 days because I got 9 days off but I thank you for this video! I'll add this to my watch later so I can come back to this!
How’s the time off going??
I'm glad you like the video :) There's now a server if you want to check out the community and get some more inspiration!
Oh, are you still interested in card games?
@@mohandasjung Yep! Got a whole Pokémon set and saving money to get Yu-gi-oh cards!
suck
Straight to the point! Thank you. Great video!
its crazy how you don't have more subs, your such a good youtuber!
Well, it's sad his website is not working :(
Man..... such a good video. Very helpful to people wanting to progress with their games. Thanks man!! :)
This was a great video and truly helped to inspire me to make my card game! Could you do a video on tips on how to make small printed letters pop, I'm having a little trouble with my small text on my cards all be super visible and fit.
Go a 0.5 font size smaller and use bold formatting, should fit in the same sized box but stand out more :)
that's all well and good, but how do I go about making my cards have insane market value that make top meta decks only for those with enough money to shell out a small fortune to be top tier while also having the time to learn degenerate combos that make each turn a 15 minute flex match?
Making the cards have higher value comes with the game itself having a higher value. Increasing your SEO to get first place on key words is a great way to start getting a wider audience, thus increasing the value of your game/cards. For example, I'm almost on the first page of google for "Mythology Card Game" meaning, once I get number one on google in time I'll surpass the few top dog competition in that genre. All of which comes with increasing your audience. As for the combos, and flex matches that all comes with designing your cards in such a way, and marketing said cards to be more rare than others. Which will increase those specific cards in value, as well as making it a key strategy to have said cards.
@@TCGNews lol yeah ik all that, i just wanted to make a fun comment on your video. Very thorough, very informative for new developers
You seem to know a lot. Thank you so much. I've actually been working on too many games and I have a few I'm about to finish. I've been looking for the best way to go about it and this video adds so much more perspective.
Sounds like someone plays Yu-Gi-Oh
Great video, thank you.
This is so helpful!!!
Design Games really Good Idea，much fun during these, you can share speical games with your friends.some times i do this with my daugther.But most time we produce large quantity Games for the designers. Really Fun.
@HTCGNews what would I use if I want to do foiled rarities, holo/metallic painted backs, and, on occasion, lenticular cards?
I've been on hiatus so I'm sorry for the 9 month delay lol. But MakePlayingCards & TheGameCrafter are two good ones for most of those! I think MPC may do Foil backs but not sure, and I don't think TGC does that. MPC does a lot of cool stuff, such as see through cards and such.

It was very helpful
What TCG is GrizzlyClaw Bearin Cheffin from?
I actually thought this would explain to me how I can program my own game using a program. Maps, rules etc. everything is ready...
Digital Card Games are completely different than normal card games, I've hired a few developers to work on Demi's online game and each time they've quit half way through leaving me with wasted funds and a product I cannot use so I wouldn't be help at that at all.
@@TCGNewsIf you do want to make one in the future, I suggest making a contract to greentree it gets made.
How many cards should one design?
Mines about a post apocalyptic future where people battle with tanks and some people modify there tanks
Good luck with the idea! It sounds like something that war fans might be interested in playing! Also, how do you plan to fund and print your project to fans?
Hello, I just want to create my own card game, for me, my family and my friends. I don't want to selling it or something like that. Just personally use. I have a full game concept and I have actually do my own card game before and it wasn't bad, but for my next game I want to have better quality than I can afford with simple printer and ducktape. I want to make my cards look like m32 linen air. Duck tape isn't wrong choice, but it has shiny skin instead of matte skin. My card game using 300+ cards. Where (or how) can I print this amount of cards, if I don't want to do it like amateur? Or can I do it as amateur with similar quality I want?
The Game Crafter is a very popular way to create and print your game for others
@@jackeverborn thanks for advice, my cards are already created 😀
@@starkex7230 what did you use to create them?
Cocktail is a great software for making cards Fernando! You can find more information on it on our server guilded.gg/TCG
Here some tips: Dont make.complicated stats, start with simple one like atk up,draw1card If you draw the art by yourself, dint draw the background just use simple effect like sphere light or flashy lighting Dont make too many card at first set make it less than 100 Do the test play very often you will surprissed how everything that you made have many flaw Use social media or gameshop as your market Sorry for my bad english
Can you get different rarities printed?
Hello, this reply is a year late however I have made a video on this! kzhead.info/sun/gcejmcerp6unnIE/bejne.html Here you go!
I created an original card game and I am unsure if I should try to patent it or not? Is it worth the cost? I am in Canada
I'd get a copyright or possibly a trademark the name/game if it's not expensive. I live in the states and depending on the state it can range from $50 such as where I live, and up to several thousands in others if you're forced to get a lawyer. It'd be extremely hard to patent a game unless it's the entirety of the game (Though I am no lawyer or professional so this is just my personal opinion)
How do I get the card template once on the Guilded Chat? Where do I go, and what do I need to do? Thanks.
Go to the Indie TCG group, then go in the HTCG Resources forum.
im making a card game like yugioh and magic mixed with deck masters i just dont know what type of mat i should use for my game
The result will be Duelmasters😊!
My idea is 'Dead TCG' I go to all the failed kickstarters and asked them for their card art and rights to use it. Then I make 3 play styles for each Dead TCG. ... only game where you can have pokemon wannabe fighting super saiyans fighting undead, fighting megaman...
What if I wanted to make my own card game based off everquest. If it's for personal use and not to be sold can I avoid copy right since I'm not selling it?
You can still get hit with a C&D if they wanted to. There's a lot of personal projects that were making no money that were hit with C&D. Most of the time if you just remove it there's nothing to worry, but it's still a risk if they wanted to do something more.
I’m creating a gwent type of game just a lot less complicated I’m stuck on the point system I need help on that
Feel free to join our community and ask there :) There's tons of game devs that are always willing to help brainstorm stuff with you :D
I'm at the point where I need to find a way to playtest my game to solidify the core mechanics and start to get an idea for the balance and pace. Are there any good online resources for making tabletop games and card games?
You have two major ones, Tabletop Simulator which is the best imo, and Untapped. I have a video on how to upload your cards to Tabletop simulator if you're interested! Hopefully this helps :)
And Tabletopia! You can do quite a bit on a free subscription there
@@travisbuschette8609 I'll look into that and make a video on it as well :)
I have brilliant idea but limited resources I need app edit on Android to make card and play it
Same here...
I'm a bit late to both of you, but we're helping someone out right now who's only using a phone. I'm also going to be making a video for this! Check out our server to get more help on this matter! www.guilded.gg/i/24AmzGGk
Do a video on homemade print press maximum immunity safety security
I have N idea but want to k ow when I actually want to create it to.sell where do I go and how to go on about it.thanks
Watch our videos, we explain almost all of that! Feel free to also join the TCG community. Guilded.gg/TCG
@@TCGNews ok thanks which video please if you remember
I also wanna use Make playing cards.com. Question about the template: if you want a black border around the card....do you still make it in the space directly outside the red line?
Yes, for the border it's safe to make it the entire rest of the card.
If possible can anyone explain if it's possible to trademark or patent the game I'm unsure
Asking the same thing. But I think what you and I are mostly looking for is to trademark.
I’m not an expert in this but I remember a KZheadr (Dice tower I think) recommended not to get trade marks, copy write, ect. This industry runs on slim margins and your copy writes will cost more money. As well if someone does steal your work it’s up to you to charge them, and most likely hiring a lawyer. There is also no garentee you will win a case, or if you win your theif might just declare bankruptcy and you just spent $50,000 on nothing. Other companies try to patten terms like “trading card games” to kill off competitors. Those competitors then used “collectable card games” (yes wizard of the coast did try this) If your worried of people stealing your work try this: post online on several forums of your game. The more info the better. Then make your game easy to buy. If anyone wants to steal and sell your game, they will see that anyone can do it and your already a easy person to buy from. This it’s not worth it. But if your still worried, send your game to your self via post/ mail carriers. Do not open it. This will hold up in a court of law that you are the owner. Cheers
What are unique ways to promote one’s game? Sell it? Promote?

If you hand drawn your art and don't have money for commission, or photo shop, how to scale and redraw your art into cards, or make cards in paint?
You could look into using Gimp or other free alternatives to Photoshop. It'd still be digital and would look significantly better than hand drawn
@@TCGNews I am planing to put my hand drawn into my computer that’s the plan I like hand drawing because of trail and error it puts character and sweat redraw it or keep it no redos.
@@TCGNews if I sound like Aggressive or offended that wasn’t my intention sometimes text add volume when typing thank you I will check out gimp.
@@MagicApocalypseTCG I never got the impression of aggressiveness or anything :) Good luck with gimp, I'd recommend using your hand drawn and just tracing it over on Gimp to make it digitalized :) That's what my wife does as she's the artist in the household lol
@@TCGNews I already have color them in but I will trace them with gimp see if I like it, thank you.
How much the artist that help you with Demi charge?? because i want to make my a tcg but can't draw shit
Sorry for the extremely late reply, he charged $50 at the time but since retired. I ended up giving him around $6k for one final large design spree and that was enough for him to build his own house, as well as open up his own physical store so now I'm in search for another designer myself. Realistically you're going to be extremely lucky to find someone for $50 an artwork, most will be around $100 unless you get lucky like I did.
I'm stucked on mine for a year. Many versions were made, the system is almost ready. But, when I think about doing an official version, taking care about all process, I shit myself and give up. It's been happening for a year. This feeling throws my energy away
Make smaller goals, if your overall goal is to make a fully official version of the game and that is so daunting then look at breaking down that goal and make smaller goals. It can be as small as Digitize one card, and when you do that the next goal is digitize 5 cards, etc. Once you have the entire game digitized you can look into "Finding the right place to print the cards" doing it this way may help your mental state as you will actually get dopamine for completing the smaller tasks which will 'refill your energy' to progress versus getting overwhelmed with one large goal.
im going to try to make a russian roulette card game
Making game about all my girlfriends personalities
That actually made me laugh
Not even 300 subs? Epic editing? Entertaining?
Thanks so much
Brief from my bot aid comp
If anybody needs artwork, I am open for commission :3
You should join guilded.gg/TCG there's always people looking for artists!
How do I discuss your rate?
Does the site and stuff just not exist anymore?
Negative, It had all fused into guilded.gg/xyphien-llc
Denny, is that the name?
If you're referring to the TCG I mentioned in the video it was probably "Demi" also known as "Demi Card Game"
@@TCGNews please rethink the name
@@TCGNews Denetros
@@TCGNews demetros
It was an already creat the game. Why would they rename from when asked
Is there no app or program that's not copying other cardgames? Like a program that's especialy for creating cards? Man, i'm really sad that there is no good app or program to create your own carddesigns. I mean real good ones. There are some crappy websites for these things, that copy cardgames like yu-gi-oh and pokemon, but that's not what i want 😅. I'd like to be able creating my own design. Then there is the possibility using photoshop and stuff, but i'm very dumb using image-programs... For example how big the card should be, how many pixels it'd need to have the perfect size. Then there is designing the corners, designing the text, designing the background of the texts, symbols, bla bla. I really suck and i can't remember stuff that i learn through tutorials in such programs like photoshop 😂 Which actualy is weird because i'm okay at editing videos 😂 Also it costs way to much 😢 It would be nice to have a program or app solving all those problems
I'd look into Cocktail. It's very easy to use, we're also partnered with them and I personally use it for a few card games I've made so I know from experience it's good. Cocktail dot software
Is you're company hiring more artist?0
My personal company isn't however if you'd like to join guilded.gg/TCG there's always people looking for artists there for hire!
You need to increase the volume of your videos. I can't hear a word you're saying on my phone with volume on max.
That's absolutely your headphones' fault.
Hey man, have rally cool idea about TCG, would you be interested to hear me out and possibly coop with me? Hit me up. Cheers.
Heya id be down to hear you out
