Good day! It is necessary to develop a story (background) for a CCG (collectible card game)
The card game offers the player to build a deck according to their play style and the opponent's play style, but this is not an easy task considering the vast number of available cards to choose from. Tactics and knowledge of mechanics play a key role in CCG, as different opponent decks require different approaches. Each card has unique properties indicated on it.
The goal of the game is to achieve first place among 8 players (initially it will be PvP - one player against another).
Each player will have their own little assistant (character) with a specific ability, which will determine the subsequent game tactics and card deck choice. One possible option is:
Each player can choose one assistant at the beginning of the game, which can be leveled up to level 5. Following that, the player receives a chest with 3 random cards (minimum to enter the game), and the next cards will need to be either won or purchased in the market.
That is, the little assistant is an ability that affects the cards (with leveling up to level 5)
Cards - for battles and the game itself
Clarification: Before the start of the battle, the player will not know the opponent's card deck; matches will be created randomly based on the overall strength of the player.
Cards will be divided into 6 types:
- Shield Keepers
- Mages
- Archers
- Healers
- Assassins
- Swordsmen
There will also be a main character in the game (currently in the development stage), with the following options:
- Dragon (female)
- Axolotl
- Mythical creature
He should play a central role in the story, although he will not influence the game between players, he should have a mission.
In short: Player1 fights Player2 using their card deck. Only one takes the victory and prizes. The little assistant gives certain abilities to the cards. The main character does not influence the turn of the game, but he needs to be included in the story, this is important.
Task: it is necessary to develop a game story that will motivate users for prolonged play. It should be as interesting, fairy-tale-like, and emotional as possible, but not too cruel.
I lean more towards the Japanese style, but it is not necessary to adhere strictly to it. I repeat, the game and idea are in the development stage, any of your options can have a significant impact, so unleash your creativity to the maximum!) The main thing is that there is logic in it, so I recommend starting by familiarizing yourself with the theme of card games.
It might be important to clarify that it is not related to games like "Fool," "Solitaire" 😉
A very good example is Mobile Legends: Magic Chess (I recommend checking it out)
Target audience: 18-40 years old, not children
Below I attach images that inspired us during the creation, perhaps this will spark a suitable idea for you. I believe in each of you, good luck!
