Why TCG Engine over similar assets?

-Run the game in Unity directly from any scene (faster testing)
-Client and Game Server use the same Unity Project
-Game logic uses the same code for: Solo, Multiplayer and AI predictions
-UI and Visuals code is well separated from the core rules and effects code.
-Using the official Unity Networking: Netcode (no 3rd party asset required)
-Secured web api for login uses https and jwt
-Author of this asset has published several card games for various clients
-Fast and accessible support on Discord
Current Limitations

-WebGL build requires 3rd party integration for Netcode to work
-No gamepad support yet

Coding
This is not a no-coding asset. And while cards and abilities can be edited directly from the data files (scriptable objects), you will need to edit the code to add features or change the core game rules. I made the decision to not include any custom editor GUI to keep the code as simple as possible and useable for a varied level of programming skills. I put a high priority on keeping the code clean and well structured. We have a Discord community for people to help each other if you are just starting with coding. And I will be glad to listen to any feedback to improve the code in future versions if needed. More info in the doc.

Hey Mark, thanks for your asset! I find it very inspiring, as I'm trying to build my own TCG and am looking for ways to do it.
But right now I'm still thinking about ways of how to create cards. I've ended up with developing a web-based tool for generating cards. Maybe this tool can be somehow integrated with your asset? I'm still a Unity-newbie, but I'm already tryint to recreate my logic in Unity.
It would be gratefull if you can take a look at my generator and provide any kind of feedback. I really respect your work and it would be very cool. Cheers!
I would be willing to buy this engine for sure if it had a Battle Grounds sort of feature like HearthStone Battle Grounds as that is the style of game I am trying to make. This engine looks so clean and thats the only thing that is holding me back. Is there any way you would be willing to implement this or sell it as a 100$ addon to the base engine?
Hello, this look awesome, but i want to ask if there is a possibility of a version for Godot?🙏
I'm considering making a Godot version eventually, but there isn't at the moment.
