Supermodel Snapshot [v1.0.0] [Belle]

Known points:
If you discard a card throughout the mulligan section, your first assault in opposition to a Challenge card in turn 1 gained’t be highlighted to point out its validity.
This is solely a beauty bug and would not have an effect on gameplay.

The day is lastly right here. Today, you get to strive out the cardboard game for Supermodel, although in a restricted type. This is what I’ve been placing a lot work into for a few yr or so now, and I hope it exhibits.

What are you able to anticipate from this release? First, there may be a transient, non-interactive tutorial I strongly suggest you go by. After that, there may be one single match of Snapshot you could play as usually as you want with a premade deck of playing cards in opposition to Vanguard from Supermodel: Defenders of Desire. Each such match ought to take you about 10 minutes from begin to complete.

What are you able to not anticipate? This is not Supermodel: Defenders of Desire, not but. You gained’t discover any storytelling, dialogue, porn, and even Nudity on this release. There is a variety of horny stuff right here, however nothing specific. I would like Snapshot to be streamer pleasant. If you would like porn, await the complete (properly, full first release, anyway) Supermodel later this yr.

I’ve saved issues easy for this primary release. Your deck primarily accommodates Common playing cards, the game’s most simple, important playing cards. These playing cards type the bread and butter of most non-advanced decks and will cowl many playstyles. But I actually have additionally included a small handful of Uncommon (inexperienced) and Rare (blue) playing cards to point out what they may appear like. In later releases of Snapshot and the complete Supermodel, you’ll solely get these playing cards by taking part in the game and opening card packs (earned with in-game cash — no microtransactions right here!). While Uncommon and Rare playing cards are inclined to be extra highly effective than Common playing cards, also they are extra situational. They would possibly require specialised decks to really shine. As such, these playing cards could also be onerous to seek out good makes use of for on this model. But they will turn the game round alone if you happen to can get them to the desk.

Needless to say, the complete game (and all future releases of Snapshot) will include many extra playing cards than what you see right here. This is solely a preview to whet your appetites, although I don’t need to underplay issues. This model nonetheless has 24 distinctive playing cards so that you can play with.

Why am I releasing the cardboard game as a standalone game as an alternative of going straight for Supermodel: Defenders of Desire? Well, card video games like these are enormously sophisticated and unattainable to stability as a lone developer. I want suggestions centered solely on the fundamental card game to ensure that it is pretty much as good as I can presumably get it and that every one the game mechanics work accurately earlier than I combine it into the closing game. Furthermore, I have to make sure the game is FUN earlier than committing too onerous. I discover it very gratifying to play, however nevertheless, I’m biased. I would like YOUR opinion and to listen to every thing, each good and unhealthy. Did you play a notably thrilling match? Tell me about it! Did you play a match the place you felt doomed to failure irrespective of what you probably did? I would like to know. Do you’re feeling a number of the playing cards are ineffective or that others are overpowered? I’m all ears! I would like suggestions; the extra, the higher.

Finally, it deserves to be talked about that this is not any atypical first release for a crowdfunded game like this. I actually have given Snapshot a large quantity of polish to make it really feel slick and skilled, not less than for a game made in Ren’py. I even spent an inordinate period of time composing the music myself to keep away from a repetition of the licensing mess in Long Live the Princess, so I hope you prefer it.

What’s subsequent on the agenda after this? First, I intend to complete model 1.01 of Long Live the Princess and release it without cost. This should not take me lengthy. After that, work will proceed on Supermodel Snapshot model 2.0. My present plans for that model are so as to add the capacity to earn playing cards by gameplay and a deckbuilding mechanic that lets you create and customise your personal decks you could then play with. I additionally anticipate so as to add yet one more mannequin so that you can photograph, however extra on that later. Once 2.0 is out, I’ll be able to transfer on to work on the primary model of Supermodel: Defenders of Desire, which is the true aim right here.

A observe on the Android model: Supermodel Snapshot was developed with Android tablets in mind and has been extensively examined on one. It ought to play splendidly on a pill. However, Android telephones are NOT SUPPORTED. The game’s interface will seemingly be far too small, and Ren’py’s in-built telephone changes will seemingly mess up sure components of the game. If you want to play Supermodel Snapshot on the telephone, you achieve this at your personal threat.
