Show HN: Faction Fiasco – single-player card battler, 100 unhinged characters (factionfiasco.com)
3 points by arowe 48 days ago
Built this solo over the past year. You build a deck from 100+ cards - Karen-zilla, Nigerian Scamurai, Dumpster Fire Angel, Florida Man - and fight AI opponents across a 3-episode campaign.

Can't die from low player count. Free account required to play.

Stack: Laravel + Vue 3 + TypeScript.

Would love feedback on whether the first game makes sense without hand-holding.

Does not work on DDG+Android, never get past the "please install" screen with Chrome and Safari prompts
Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it. I hadn't tried on DDG yet, and the PWA is a bit of a stop-gap until it becomes an actual app.
Bleh AI card art. One of the best part of card games is the ability to showcase high quality illustrators.
Thank you for the feedback. Long-term I'd like to able to hire designers, but for demo purposes it wasn't feasible.
I would rather see MS Paint art like Slay the Spire than ai slop art. I think you could have done ai art for a demo but it's so obviously ai, it immediately turned me off. And may turn others off too.
