Fate of the Spectre is a proof-of-concept superhero-themed trading card game. It follows the DC Comics pantheon of heroes and villains battling to control the Tower of Fate.
The idea stemmed from my love of trading cards as a child. I miss collecting and trading Marvel and DC Comics cards and set out to create a set of my own. The game mechanics are introduced to give the set longevity, interactivity, and a purpose.
The mobile version employs passive communication between mobile devices in close proximity to do battle as people go about their day. The leaderboard tracks your daily progress and nets you rewards at the end of the day.
Earlier versions of the cards incorporated custom character logos instead of game mechanics. I left this idea on the cutting room floor, most because the logos were competing with the art, and I would much rather highlight the work of the talented DC Comics artists. The logos and renders below were first drafts for a number of DC characters.
