TSK app preview and Arkham Nights
Added 2022-10-11 21:05:58 +0000 UTCThank you all as always for the support for the app. Your contributions directly support the servers that make campaign sharing and custom fan-made content in the app possible, and I'm deeply grateful for the support.
As you've hopefully been seeing, the app continues to be receiving timely updates to support new content (and as you probably know, there's been a LOT of new content this year). Customizable was quite the challenge, but it got released and I'm pretty pleased with the results.
One behind the scenes project from the last few months that has now rolled out, I changed the app to load cards from my own servers instead of ArkhamDB. This has let me make card loading a bit faster, and also lets me release cards more quickly. Did you know you can deck-build with all of the TSK cards today by toggling the Fan-Made content on the Settings page -- you can't upload them to ArkhamDB yet but when they are released there you will be able to.
In addition to adding support for many more fan-made campaigns (Call of the Plaguebearer, Cyclopean Foundations) and fan-made side-stories (Against the Wendigo, Jenny's Choice, Fall of the House of Usher, The Colour Out of Space), I've spent the summer laying the groundwork for the upcoming Scarlet Keys campaign.
If you've been following the FFG previews you probably already know that this campaign is going to feature a very different structure, centered around a map that lets you choose your path. If you thought this might be a huge amount of work to add to the app, you would be correct -- but I enjoy the challenge and am doing my best to make sure everything will be able to work just as well in the app.
Here's some early screenshots of the interactive map I've been working on, including thematic info about the cities (I've used the FFG tweets as placeholders for this content for now):
Adding an entire new campaign is obviously a lot of work, but I will try my best to have the full campaign out as close to the launch next month as possible.
Also, if you are going to be attending Arkham Nights 2022, I'm going to be there (my first time at Arkham Nights). Please say hi!
As always, the best way to contact me is via email at arkhamcards@gmail.com.

Just seconding all the other comments! Loved the game but the set up and tracking was always to much work for my friends to really get into the game. But with this app we started with weekly plays! Thank you so much!

2022-10-11 23:08:13 +0000 UTCJust amazing work. Going as far as early implementation of mechanics that haven't been released yet it's more than I expected.
