Good day Card Creators! Today we want to share with you two brand new guides for Card Creator. The first one covers duplicating project structures. Let’s say you have some blueprints that you want to use in different projects, or that you want to start a new project from some older designs. Or maybe you’re creating an expansion or bigger version of your game, who knows. Well, in this guide we explain you how to duplicate your projects, so you don’t have to start from scratch every time. The second guide is much simpler, but no less important: restoring backups! We have all forgotten to save a project or suffered an inconvenient blackout. Check out this guide to learn how to restore your backups. You can find both guides here! https://www.notion.so/pixelatto/Guides-b245bdefc0fa4fdb9ed7de15097a27d0 For more information and tips and tricks for Card Creator, if you want to send us some feedback and suggestions, or just meet other game designers like you, we recommend you to join our community! You can find us on Discord, Twitter and Facebook. And if you are already working with Card Creator, send us your best projects to [email protected], we’re preparing the first Card Creator Showcase!

Hi everyone! We have great news for all game creators: Card Creator joins the Steam Summer Sale with a whopping 50% off discount. If you are a game designer looking for the most flexible and deep card creation tool you could think of, your search ends here. If you are an aspiring designer, you are covered too -- Card Creator’s intuitive UI and extensive documentation will quickly put you up to speed!

And don’t hesitate to email us your best creations to [email protected], we’ll start showcasing the best CC projects later this month!

Hi everyone! It’s been some time since we posted here more than patch notes. We are always available through our social media channels and Discord server, but from now this Steam page will also be more active than ever. For a start, we want to highlight some of the awesome designs you have been making with Card Creator. We are incredibly proud of how talented our community is, and we want to celebrate your creativity by showing some of the projects that you have made. Once in a month we will choose a project and discuss it here with its creators. If you want to take part in this, please send us more information about your Card Creator project to card.creator.projects @ pixelatto.com. We’re looking forward to seeing your best creations! At some point we are going to start talking about our plans for the future, as well -- it’s too soon for that yet… but stay tuned!
