[AlanZucconi]

To all my gamedev students who are thinking of plagiarising this project for their next assignment...
I SEE YOU.
👁👄👁

It’s always amazing to see how you deconstruct a big problem and then solve it piece by piece in such a calm way. Been a while since I did game development but this video inspired me to get back to it

[guillem]

The card shaders part was really interesting. I would love more videos recreating UI's of games :)

[iHeartGameDev]

Continues to be my favorite channel <3 Awesome work as always, André!

[Pirochiro]

Having the card visual just be a separate object that lerps to the actual card's position is such a simple but effective method! I am going to have to remember that one. 😮

[immortalsun]

As someone who’s addicted to Balatro (I have 120 hours in it) and who’s interested in making a roguelike deckbuilder game myself, this video is a godsend!

Brackeys and Mix and Jam are back in the same week 🤯

[random_precision_software]

I'm so HAPPY to see back again !😊 Please don't leave it as long for your next video...I really missed you.

[Shasaur]

Always super hyped when I see a new mix and jam video. Thanks for making this! You've taught me a huge amount about polishing

[DarkDax]

As always this was a brilliant video! Love how you break down seemingly difficult processes into a digestible and easy to understand way.
Great work mate!

[PeterMilko]

Thank you for makign this! I love how you set it up.

[sveden]

This is insanely good. You have an incredible talent for demystifying these concepts. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these. We all are looking forward to what you come up with next!

[GameDragonk]

Holy crap, that decoupling of the logic and lerping was such a simple and effective solution. I've never quite thought to do something like that.

[TheProtectedVoid]

You nailed it, very smooth, great job!

[MrEnvisioner]

Awesome & illuminating video! Welcome back! I didn't even think of having the board itself be 2D with anchored, separate 3D visuals. That makes so much more sense and really simplifies the way that you interact with things. 😀 Thanks!

[creativecipher]

Probably one of my favorites yet. Dotween is amazing!! THANK YOU

[abidounesaad]

Mix and jam is still the best gamedev channel on youtube as always

[meisterl]

It is very addicting how everything blended together from the sound effects to the way you interact with the cards, hits the dopamine real good heard the dev from an interview that he has a lot of testing just to make it feel right and it shows

[romancherrez]

Great video! Separating the logic from the visual makes the game feel so good yet so simple to implement, great way to add some nice effects to the game!

[toxiquid]

this looks great! amazing work as always :)
