We've been working on this one in secret! sort of. We did post about it in our discord several times. But aside from that, we're shocking the world with our second major expansion to Card Game Combat: Card Shop v1.0.0!

If you're keeping up with our Patreon, this was already being developed during our vote for the next major expansion. Go and sign up for our Patreon now to get in on future votes! We're about to start a vote for the next minor plugin expansion.

Reminder that this plugin requires Card Game Combat v1.5.4 or higher to work. It is an expansion plugin, it will not work standalone.

Feature List

• Card Shop Scene

The Card Shop plugin adds a Card Shop scene, as you might guess, which the player can use to shop for cards. But not just that, they can also sell cards, or, if you prefer, they can pay for the privilege of removing cards from their deck.

• Configurable prices for each shop

You can set default prices for each card through Skill Notetags, but if you want one shop to sell cards at a discount you can specify that when outlining the shop's stock. Alternatively, if you want a shop to sell 3 copies of a card at normal price and then one more at twice the price only for players who need to have 4 copies in their deck, you can do that too!

• Compatible with Deck Editor

We've taken special care to make sure that Deck Editor and Card Shop work nicely together. If Deck Editor is in use, the player won't be able to sell any cards that are currently equipped so they don't accidentally break their decks.

You can check out our documentationfor Card Shop on the CGC Wiki for additional details.

What to look forward to

That's right, just like CGC Core and Deck Editor, we're adding even more features in future updates!

• Unsellable cards

We want to add notetags to make cards impossible to remove through either Selling or Removal (or both) in the Card Shop. Make your curse cards even more cursed!

• Cards trading - Cards that cost other Cards

The shop is the best place for a feature that lets you trade in your cards for other cards directly. Instead of (or in addition to) gold, you can make a copy of Cut+ require that you trade in your copy of Cut.

• Shop stock randomization features

Right now you can get clever with Game Variables to make a shop's stock different every time, but if you're selling a lot of cards that may not be the best user experience. This feature will add keywords to card shop notetags that allow you to supply random ranges, or a random choice in place of numbers.

Final Thoughts

Happy to get this one out as it was in demand for a while. It got pretty close in one of the Patron Polls and we felt that it would be a good plugin to have in place as we move forward towards the last major updates for Card Game Combat.

We will turn our attention over to the next major Card Game Combat update and a number of exciting Patron plugins which we are looking forward to seeing how they will expand our suite.

Thanks,
