Had an amazing interview that I had with the Smiternal ECG. This game looks like a lot of fun, and really excited to see what more is to come.
DESCRIBE YOUR GAME?
Smiternal ECG is a fast-paced and a competitive strategy card game where you use your units in battle to claim your victory. You can use the effects of your cards to gain advantages against your opponents in battle. There will be different unique play styles that you can choose for battling against your opponent. So, good luck and battle wisely because you will need it!
HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE GAME’S NAME?
I came up with the idea of lightning then somehow ended up with strike, but I still thought that it was still not good enough. So, I went to Smite and stick with that. Now, for the last part of the name, I was thinking what if the game is meant to do some decently fast plays and maybe like striking people endlessly. So, I decided to choose between “Eternal” and “Infinity”. I eventually ended up on taking the word “Eternal” after so many additional thoughts. So, I made it Smite + Eternal equals “Smiternal ECG”.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON YOUR GAME?
1 month
WHAT MAKES YOUR GAME DIFFRENT FROM OTHER TCG'S?
Smiternal ECG is similar to a Rock/Paper/Scissors game, but played in a more strategic way of doing it with how things work in the game. Also, This game is somehow similar to the board game called “Dice Throne” since there is going to be status tokens as cards instead of status tokens as circular items. So that, you may use them for your advantage.
WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES YOU HAD IN CREATING THIS GAME?
Since it is still in development, I had nothing hindering me from anything for now. So, there is not much I can say about it.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE CARD IN THE GAME?
Trash Servant #4, Reyows. He is my favorite card since he can allow any player that owns him to play any unit from the discard pile to the field instead of playing any card from your hand to the field.
WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS FOR YOUR GAME?
My future plans for “Smiternal ECG” is to make at least 4 decks ready. Then, I could make a tournament after that. I will also be having creativity events where your own cards will also be inserted to my game. But don’t worry, most of the arts will be made and owned by the creator of the game.
AS A CREATOR, WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO OTHERS WHO ARE TRYING TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS?
I would like to say that “If you are about to make a card game, always remember that never let anything stress you out. Just always remember to keep a positive attitude when anything bad has happened to you. Also, Take criticisms from people when they want to comment something that may make it personal for you or not, that’s just how life of a creator works out. So, with that aside, Let’s just hope that you do a good luck in creating your own card games in our own way as long as we can make ourselves happy with what each of us make. Because it may let you down in any possible way.”
