Composite Hands - Play a hand from a consumable!

This was a prototype that I made, which I think has a lot of potential for some fun stuff.

I may develop it further, and may not. I'm not sure XD.

[normal fern]

this is very interesting

[hidden remnant]

you could collab with the guy making the chess consumables and turn it into that instead since you have the code and they have the art

[idle wasp]

All of these cool consumable mods emerging has got me wanting the default consumable slots to be bumped to 3

[vital drum]

BTW important, but All In and Pick A Card are not actual names in the mod XD

they are a placeholder sprite and mod name that I have for my mod testing workspace. that is also how fusion started

[placid talon]

hey! had this exact concept myself funnily enough. already made artwork for it if you'd like it for your mod.

[vital drum]

Oh! These look really good

Perhaps we could collaborate on that

[vital drum]

BTW the 3 ending ones, those are not real right?

[placid talon]

they're pieces from "fairy chess"

which is a sort of homebrew version with custom pieces

[vital drum]

fairy chess? interesting

fitting for hands the special hands XD

[placid talon]

also i only started at three of a kind cause i figured high card to two pair were a bit too common to need them

but i could work something out if you'd like em

[vital drum]

I kinda like it like this

[vital drum]

how were you thinking of calling them?

[placid talon]

was just gonna call them chess cards

[hidden remnant]

i was thinking checker pawn for pair and checker king for two pair

[placid talon]

that could work

[hidden remnant]

in the rare circumstances high card is also required i would recommend "no piece"

[placid talon]

im pretty sure its impossible to not at least play high card

the only time that could even happen is if you run out of cards

and iirc you game over if that happens

[hidden remnant]

yeah

[soft osprey]

You could use it if you needed an extra hand

[hidden remnant]

true

[placid talon]

ooh fair point

i never even considered that strategy

found the contender for high card

[glossy lodge]

I think some variants also have Stones

Which can’t move

Although other games call their pieces Stones IIRC

[glossy lodge]

Doesn’t Checkers have a Queen/Lady?

Although I know American/British checkers have different rules compared to other countries

[hidden remnant]

im fairly certain checkers only has two kinds of piece

i live in the us

[glossy lodge]

Exactly. The basic one and the Queen

[hidden remnant]

i call it the king

theyre probably the same thing

[glossy lodge]

I imagine the rules are different. In American, the King can’t move any number of squares and the basic pieces can’t capture backwards

[hidden remnant]

those are the same rules?

[glossy lodge]

Maybe you know international checkers then. Or Canadian checkers

Canadian uses a 12x12 instead of a 8x8—wait, we’re getting off-topic

[placid talon]

nice

starting to design the low three cards

[spring mist]

My friend. You got a lot on your plate lol

[vital drum]

?

[spring mist]

Just seems like you've been doing a lot

[vital drum]

not that much TBH

[spring mist]

You sound like me lol

[vital drum]

i got like, 5 mods i am working on, and one is not really

[spring mist]

I got Archived, overseeing Ortalab, Dragon Ballataro concepting, Tier 3 Vouchers

You say not much, I say I'm almost overwhelmed lol

[vital drum]

I got:
Codex Arcanum (almost finished with 1.1)
Fusion Jokers (Released 1.0)
Composite Hands (Started work, but it is pretty small)
Secret mod
The Math Mod (a joke mod I am concepting)

my focuses are still Codex, Fusion, and the future secret mod

[spring mist]

Thank goodness people love to help out in this community, right?

[vital drum]

true XD

[spring mist]

My main focus right now is trying to get the vouchers done before I leave for a week

[glossy lodge]

Math Mod?

[vital drum]

It started as a joke, but people are actually suggesting ideas and such

[glossy lodge]

But what's the concept

[vital drum]

look at #1227500439055110175

[spring mist]

Oh yeah. Forgot one that came to mind

Thinking of just making a Generic Consumable type for people to either use as a template to make a new consumable or for people to add random consumables that don't fit the Planets, Spectrals, and Tarots

[vital drum]

oddities API?

[spring mist]

[vital drum]

something autumn worked on

[spring mist]

Damn then one more project done

lol

[placid talon]

🦆

[olive pier]

oh im excited for this mod

[placid talon]

aaaaand the final sheet

unless there's some issue i haven't noticed yet

[wintry rose]

now this is sick

[vital drum]

duck

[hidden remnant]

duck

[vital drum]

BTW @placid talon Could you make some pack textures?

[shy wadi]

this seems really cool

[ocean crystal]

the art is amazing

[vital drum]

Implementation of the composite hands is done!

[ocean crystal]

woohoo

[hidden remnant]

🎉

[placid talon]

sure, I'll make a start as soon as i get back from work.

[spring mist]

Six Suit Compatibility when? (spectrums)

[vital drum]

That would be fun!

[spring mist]

Lol just use pieces from the Chess 2 video

Or old pieces than translated over into modern chess like the elephant

[vital drum]

Chess 2?

[spring mist]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mcivL8u176Y

[vital drum]

What new pieces does it add?

[placid talon]

i may need a reminder of what hands it adds

[spring mist]

Idr. I think it readds elephant. Adds the monkey. Maybe a few more

Either way, good video

[vital drum]

Oh that can be fun

[spring mist]

Though chess 2 is a fan project

https://www.chess.com/article/view/10-remarkable-chess-pieces-youve-never-seen

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_chess_piece

I’d suggest something like these

You can do giraffe, elephant, frog, etc

[vital drum]

We actually did use some fairy piece pieces

[spring mist]

Not sure 100%. I think spectrum with house and straight variants. You’d have to check

[gilded sonnet]

spectrum five, spectrum house, straight spectrum, spectrum

spectrum is any five cards that dont share suits

[placid talon]

thanks

[solemn wren]

Wait these are consumables that play hands??? 😮

[placid talon]

yep

[vital drum]

Indeed!

[primal radish]

could the part (curve) that links the top of the beak and the head be more curved/more beak like?

[tepid viper]

These are incredibly cool

I love how the cards are framed and designed

Truly unique in the mod art scene

[torpid frigate]

idea.

crossover hands from other mods should use crossover pieces from other tabletop games

[vital drum]

we plan on doing that

[torpid frigate]

oh nice

cant wait to play my connect four piece to play a spectrum house

fr tho might i suggest a checker piece and a domino?

[frigid yew]

Using fairy chess pieces for the secret hands is genius omg

[hidden remnant]

thanks!

[primal radish]

How are the pack textures?

[primal radish]

How the mod?

[wintry rose]

is this out

[shy wadi]

no

[primal radish]

How is this going??

[ocean crystal]

fr

[vital drum]

everything is progressing smoothly, don't worry

[normal fern]

will progress smoothlier now that 1.0 is around the corner i believe

[bright shale]

[still aspen]

i'm also wondering

[glossy dagger]

I am also
