Edge Lords is a fan recreation of the mini-game Vantage Masters from Trails of Cold Steel 3 and 4.
Vantage Masters is a card game played between two people. The easiest comparison that can be made is to games like Magic: The Gathering or Hearthstone. It has its own twists on the format but if you're familiar with those games you're off to a good start.
I've drafted a Google Doc explaining the rules as best as I know them. If you're not familiar with Vantage Masters, I'd recommend reading that. I've also been referencing this GameFAQs guide (spoiler warning!) for the card list and other miscellaneous information.
The main goal of this project right now is to create a backend that can be utilized by any number of clients. The backend will handle deck assembly and game state. Once I'm at a comfortable place with that, I will begin making some kind of client.
Backend milestones:
- Game state can be serialized and saved somewhere
- Natials and Masters can move around the board and attack each other (in a bootstrapped game)
- Players can summon new Natials (in a bootstrapped game)
- A game can be started from scratch and players can take turns
- Victory condition is checked and acted upon
- Natial and Master skills can be used
- Natial and Master abilities are triggered
- Spells can be used
