[This is part 2 of my Study of Digital Card Games series.]
The first notable CCG that made it to the digital space was, guess who, Magic! There have been several software allowing to play the game on a computer, but the first to embrace online play was Magic: The Gathering Online, shortened as MTGO and released in 2002. The pitch is simple: it is exactly the same game, but playable on a computer with folks from all around the globe. It is still active today.

[This is part 1 of my Study of Digital Card Games series.]
In my intro to this series, I said I was going to focus on card games that were digital-first. Let's start with a mandatory exception to that rule: when Magic: The Gathering was released in 1993 by Wizards of the Coast, it was not (yet) a digital card game. It is, however, the Holy Father of CCGs. It is the starting point of the genre, and thus we need to start this journey with it.

Collectible Card Games, shortened as CCGs, are a kind of card games that I have been playing for a pretty long time. I started with the Pokémon CCG when I was about 10, then got into Magic: The Gathering a few years later. I'm still playing Magic regularly today, about 20 years after I got into it. But as soon as I started playing them, I also started creating card games. I remember working on a card game on my family's computer back when I was, what, 11 years old? Since then, the idea of creating games, and creating a card game especially, never left me.

Dans mon dernier billet, j'annonçais ma volonté de fonder une entreprise coopérative de création de jeux vidéo. De ma découverte de la société Motion Twin il y a 15 ans à ma rencontre avec l'intelligence collective, en passant par mes désillusions chez Mozilla, voici pourquoi et comment j'en suis arrivé là.

Depuis maintenant 7 mois, j'ai quitté Mozilla (où je suis resté près de 9 ans) afin de poursuivre un rêve d'enfant : créer des jeux vidéo professionnellement. J'ai créé quelques jeux, en amateur, sur ces 10 dernières années, principalement en participant à des Jams — vous pouvez retrouver une liste de ces jeux sur ma page Projets. Mon arrivée au chômage était l'occasion idéale pour moi d'enfin me lancer dans cette aventure !
Voici une petite histoire du jeu que je suis en train de créer, de l'avancement de celui-ci et de ce que je cherche pour l'avenir.
