ArcoMage is a card game that was made as a mini-game for Might and Magic 7, and saw a recurrence in Might and Magic 8. It even saw a commercial release of it's own!

There wasn't really a "story" to the game until the commercial release, but, suffice it to say, you are one of two rulers/wizards/whatever vying for control. There are three ways to win the game. They are:

  • Getting your Tower (life total) to be, or exceed, a certain amount

  • Getting your opponent's Tower to be at, or go below, 0

  • Accumulate a certain number of resources of a single type


Specifics of how to play are included in-game, and will also be included here.

Cracking down on that AI

Finally got around to cracking down on programming the AI. I'm not 100% sure what exactly will happen if the AI plays a card that requires discarding, or a card that prompts to "play again". I also don't quite know how to switch the context of the Action button from "Select/use this card in the human player's hand" to "Cease display of the AI card, and continue with the game".

For what it is worth, I have seemed to manage to have the AI's card displayed on-screen for a half-minute before play continues. Saying that, I don't feel particularly confident about this game. I feel testers could help me weed out some bugs. Though, I know I've had a bad tendency in the past to act on my own before people can even respond to such requests.

Be that as it may, I'll be uploading a demo sometime in the next few days. I'll try recruiting said testers on the Discord channel, but, failing that, I may refer to this thread and quite possibly still fail.
Cards have stats! And have effects!
Cards that you don't have the resources for are greyed out, and cannot be played/selected!

This looks like my kind of Marrend game! I definitely will be trying this out later this year.

Small update. The short version is that there was a bug involving using the escape button to discard cards which I believe has been rectified. The in-game help-file has been updated, and I put in a little loop for the Show Choice command.



I still have no idea what possessed me to make this. I'm a little impressed by the fact that it took me two weeks, though. I thought/figured it would be a lot longer!
