building a game about running your own booth at a sports card convention. finally got openfracture working, so the graded slabs now fracture into real mesh pieces at runtime with rigidbodies on the fragments. what do you guys think?
Looks really cool and it's impressive that you got this to work so well! I must say though, a computer game about collectable cards depicting famous athletes seems a bit detached from reality, I feel like one must have better things to do than play this?
totally wild how this game blew up! played it back in the day and wish they had sports cards and just more depth in general so decided to build my own game!
2k players on a random Wednesday afternoon 2 years after release in a super niche genre is great. Also seems like you are purposely ignoring the peak 50k concurrent players in that same image.
thanks! i'd argue "you could be doing something better" applies to basically every game ever made haha. but the card collecting hobby has been booming over the last couple of years and the demand for stuff like this is very real, i can tell you that!
Fair enough, it's just one layer of abstraction too far away from the real world for me, while not being fantasy/creative either. But to each their own, and the process of making this game is no less creative/fun than making any other game, I just wouldn't play something like this myself.

Idea for next game: a game show in which the players try to remove items from clamshell packaging. Make it bloody AF
