Star Deck changes
Hi, my name is Alex and I'm the solo developer working on this game. I hope you'll join me for this pre-recorded walkthrough of a single run of the demo, to give you an idea about the game mechanics for how the different weapons work, and core game mechanics.
At it's core, Star Deck is a deckbuilding roguelike experience, so many players will feel comfortable if they have experience with similar games like Slay the Spire.
The difference in Star Deck is a dual wielding weapon experience where the deck you build becomes a mix of the weapons you choose on each run. The demo has 2 weapons available, the laser blaster & ice hammer. Final game will have 5 unlockable weapons, and the fun will be experimenting with different combinations as you play more difficult New Games!
Final game will have 5-6 levels to play through on each run. The robot city, aptly named Robotica is just the first level that I've made for the demo.
I'll be running a Kickstarter next month, on March 5th this year, so please follow it here if you'd like to see this game come to fruition: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/572883522/star-deck
I won't be able to finish the game without funding, as there is still a lot of work yet to do. With your help I plan to release the finished product in Q2 of 2025. Thanks so much for your support, and I hope you enjoy the demo... game on!
