Fun fact about indie TCG development Most of the work done happens late night after our 9-5 jobs. For the last two years, we have been working on card designs, balancing mechanics, world building, adjusting wording, and coordinating with our wonderful artists. Its been a long Journey. But worth it

Not all heroes wear capes, and not all look the same. In #TheJourneyTCG you'll meet inventors, spellcasters, guardians, and wanderers from every corner of the world. Different backgrounds. Different powers. One thing in common: a story worth telling. #illustration by @dusky-woods.bsky.social

It's quite gruff, but I needed to get some feelings out of my system to share them, and didn't have much time to indulge in it. #art

Finally! Whenever I finish an arwork, I never know how to feel about it. This one was inspired by some long-necks and my weak spot for mysterious abandoned things. #illustration #originalart #nature

Story is at the heart of everything we do. In our game, every character, every item, and every land has a purpose. Each one is part of a living world, rich with lore waiting to be discovered. We want you to feel the world, not just play it. #illustration by @mrsillust.bsky.social

A hero isn't just someone who wins battles—they're the symbol of hope. Seraphina and her companions from the Sky Watch Islands are that symbol of hope in the sky #tcg #tradingcards #indiegame #newgame #supportartists #illustration
