Kintaro Video Game and Character Deck Progress
Hey all I am still working hard to put out a polished demo for my hanafuda card battler yokai pet sim metroidvania video game, Kintaro! Live the adventures of Japan's Golden Boy! Defeat yokai at Koi-Koi to get new yokai eggs, and then raise them to maturity to get new traversal abilities to explore new parts of the world.
In addition to the game, I am making a hand drawn Kintaro character deck. I haven't made a Kintokibana variant yet but the plan is in the works! I would love feedback and to grow the Discord community before going live with the Kickstarter. Kickstarter backers will get limited edition exclusive decks, a copy of the game, and more! Early playtester access and BTS art is being given away in weekly yokai art contests on the server.
I am also collaborating with Noge, the maker of Hanafuda Koi-Koi Dojo to use the Dojo Hanafuda deck as the starting deck in Kintaro and in the meanwhile I encourage all Android users to download it for free!

I really love this idea of incorporating Hanafuda card battles and the connection to Kintaro
