No pressure, right?

So the way the art team works is we'll play the game to get a general understanding of like the emotions you feel as like you go through the core gameplay mechanics.

And for this one, what we really loved was the training aspect, right?

That's where the tension is.

That's where the excitement is.

And we really wanted to jump off of that feeling, those cards and the excitement of like trading something that could be really funny, but also really exciting to have.

So we thought about people who trade a lot and we're like, oh, my gosh, sports trading.

okay, instead of athletes, what if it's misfit mascots?

And the goal of the game is that you're trading different mascots and you want to like build this ultimate dream team.

Sell me a Sasquatch.

Oh.

This one we're like, what if people are trying to find and trade cryptids and or famous magical animals?

Okay.

This next one is cats who are also car salesmen.

To be the best salesman, characters can be stock traders, car salesmen, street vendors and other famous deal traders.

But imagine it's cats instead of people exploding kittens.

Let's bring animals into it.

Yeah, you know, this is really the explorational phase.

So right now, this part of the process is a lot of like seeing what sticks.

Like this one feels right.
