2a) The Decks I MIGHT Include

I'll sum up this post very quickly - Custom Archetypes. I've been designing custom cards for a good few months, and always make sure that every card I make is both balanced and usable. Whether I end up putting customs in this game I'm not sure yet - but I'd love to end up including certain custom sets I (or other people, with their permission) have made. Here's a card from a custom set I made a few weeks ago, as a sample.

2) The Decks Needed

Wow, the past couple days have been a lot of work. I've been doing a lot of codework on improving the in-progress Dueling AI, as well as character concept work, and figuring out what steps are needed to be taken next.

So, as I mentioned previously there's going to be decks based on every single recognisable archetype. There's also going to be a few loose deck types. So I figured I'll post a list of all these deck types here for now. This is not a total list; more will be added over time.

1) The Concept

Hi there guys!
My name's Mike, though a lot of you may know me as AEtherchild from DuelingNetwork. I'm 20 years old and have been designing games for about 9 years on and off. This Blogspot is going to be following a new game project of mine - I shall start with the basis of this idea, followed by the in-depth details, and we'll take it from there!

Okay, so. What I am working on is a Yugioh videogame, for now named Planar Shift. I'm planning on cramming in a LOT of storyline which I have been working on, loosely based from the Yugioh stories available to read in the Master Guides. There will also be a Free Mode, where you can duel against an AI using decks you make, or a Network Mode where you can play or chat with people online. This blog for the most part will be around Story Mode.

A large factor here is that I am planning on making every recognisable archetype see play. Every one. This includes archetypes that see almost no play, such as Phantom Beasts or Dark Scorpions. Because of this there are going to be over 100 characters in this Story Mode, each with their own deck. Some duel with you; some duel against you; all of them you will see in action on more than one occasion.

This is it for the first post. Over the coming weeks I will be posting new storyline ideas, potential Deck Lists to use in this game, character profiles, and general progress. In a short while I will be posting the first chunk of storyline, to give you guys an idea of what I'm doing here. Watch this space :)
