Hello, everyone. I would like to present to you the first update of the SPD card game.
*About the concepts:
I defined some concepts about the format of the cards, which may seem incomplete in the published artwork because there is no text involving the rules of the game. I defined concepts such as names, categories, types/classes, descriptions, and actions. For example, each category will have its own card background and specific colors for the boxes for better synergy. I even used warrior as a class, and now I need names for the heroes. Do they have their own names somewhere in the lore?
*About the art:
Although I have corrected several details and made some myself, I have no skill in creating drawings, vectors, or pixel art. So I always use the assets extracted from the game’s source code (available on GitHub) and make some changes. Whether it’s to compose text boxes or background images. I had a little fun creating silver, gold, and emerald textures for the borders, just like 00-Evan does.
*Other things:
The rules are solid in my head, but when it comes to putting them into text, I feel that the biggest difficulty will be adapting the formulas and calculations so that the game has a fun and interesting pace, while at the same time you don’t need to carry a notebook and a scientific calculator to play.
Finally, I plan to add different game modes, one for playing the dungeon alone (the mode currently in development), another for cooperative play, and a final mode being player versus player, like the dynamics of Munchkin.
Sorry for the long text. That’s all for now.

Olá,
Quanto à sua pergunta sobre os nomes dos heróis, não tenho a certeza se eles já foram publicados, mas o Evan disse que deseja adicionar muito mais informações sobre os heróis num futuro próximo. Então, talvez seja melhor esperar por isso.
Quanto à arte, eu não me preocuparia muito com isso. Se você conseguir manter esse ritmo, talvez consiga um artista de pixels do seu lado ;) Embora manter todos os pixels dos sprites com o mesmo tamanho deva ser possível apenas com os sprites do jogo base.
Continue assim, você certamente encontrará alguém disposto a dar uma mãozinha :)
It would be great to have artists contributing. Their names could even be credited directly on the card. I don’t know if Evan did all the art for the current game, but I’m thinking of crediting him as an artist as well, in addition to the credit given to him and Watabou as creators of the base game.
Will cards like shortsword have rules text on them.
Yes. The rules are under development.
