Hello again everyone!
As promised, here is the fleshed-out Elluin (non-final draft):
Elluin have teal skin, a lanky body, and are about six to seven feet tall when fully grown. They are nimble hunters who spend most of their time high up in trees, watching down on prey with their sharp eyesight, waiting to strike. Their favorite weapon is their famously hand-crafted longbow, and they've mastered the art of extracting poison from local flora and fauna to add to their arrows.
This week, I've been spending most of my time working on the main menu -- boring, I know. But here's a fun animation I added to it!
I've also set up a wiki! It's mostly for my own use in planning the worldbuilding and keeping everything consistent, but it's all publicly accessible. I'm planning out the settings menu here. Please drop a comment below if there are any settings you'd like to see that aren't yet there!
Finally, thanks to Akihiro Sakurai for sharing my game with the Japanese audience at Automaton Media, and thanks to everyone who has signed up for playtesting already! If you haven't done so yet, you can apply here. We're still on track for the closed beta being ready by the end of March, and I'll be closing the form a few days before the playtest begins. I'll be back next week with some updates on the elemental system!

(Note: This game does not include a "large language model" nor GPT-like AI.)
Features:
- Custom card creation. As you play, you'll discover hundreds of cards. When choosing which cards to take, you have to not only consider the card's effects itself, but also what cards you could create from it.
- Card battles with physics-based simulations. When you shoot arrows at an enemy, there's not just a generic slashing animation. Instead, arrows fly out towards your enemy and collide (or not!) with them.
- Text-based events. Every event can have serious consequences. Do you choose to help a goblin in need, hoping for a reward, guessing that he won't try to steal one of your cards?
- Play your cards even outside of combat. Special purple options appear during dialogue if you have a card that could be useful. These options usually give you additional rewards. Carefully consider how to balance your deck between combat and non-combat cards to successfully traverse the continent.
- Complex elemental system. Each enemy has their own vulnerabilities, resistances, and immunities. If you try to attack an enemy wearing chainmail with a dagger, it won't be so effective. But try shocking them with lightning, and it might just double the damage!
- Nonlinear exploration in a randomly generated map. Each time you play, a new map with different arrangements of biomes, settlements, and rivers is generated. You can choose to backtrack, but you'll have to keep an eye on your rations. The maps are in hand-drawn style (and if you want an authentic version without colors, you can choose that in settings!)
