I think it was only finished around the very end of development. We tried so many things and they were all either incomprehensible, trivially easy or insanely difficult. That was just the visual side! The interaction design was another big problem, it played terribly for the longest time. With a single animation I was able to scale and rotate the entire trajectory from a single bone. It took me a lot of tests until I ended up figuring out a way to animate each axis on a separate bone and combine them in order to achieve the pseudo 3D motion. There are several animations accounting for hitting the chair, falling in the hat and rules to deal with draw order based on angle and strength of the shot. We originally tried to implement a more complex aiming system for which I built this trail that didn’t make it to the final version. Not only the motion of the card would be a challenge but also it´s interaction with the chair. Here's me trying it out to see how the card should behave. I decided to solve the problem myself, in animation. I naively thought we could have the card in actual 3D and simulate the physics but that was quickly discarded as too complicated. The basic idea was simple but making a card fly in 3D inside a hand-drawn 2D game was a big challenge. So it was storyboarded and written from very early on in the project, becoming a necessary part of the story. We immediately thought we had to have something like this in the game. The idea came from this brilliant demonstration by legendary magician Ricky Jay.

It seems absurd that such a short one-off moment took us so much work. Throughout the game, this technique appears just once and the interaction lasts only a few seconds. We spent more time working on this interaction than on any other technique in the game. If you played Card Shark it might surprise you that out of all the different mini-games, the “Card In Hat” was by far the most difficult one to develop. The original Reigns and two sequels are available on Steam for just a few dollars each!

You'll need that time to uncover the mystery behind your newfound immortality. Your consciousness is transported into the next heir so that you can continue your reign. Your military is too weak? Warring kingdoms will have your head.īut death isn't the end. The peasants become too prosperous? They don't need your leadership anymore.

As a kingdom's ruler, advisors come to you with their problems. It was a simple but very clever concept, described as Tinder x Game of Thrones.
