About the Project

The development of The Reapers of Universe 3 began over a decade ago as a personal endeavor rooted in a passion for trading card games. While the core design, mechanics, and card concepts were created by myself, the project remained on hold for several years—until the rise of AI-generated artwork offered a way to visually bring the game to life. Although AI is a key creative tool in our process and will remain part of our future direction, we are also open to collaborating with artists to further enhance the visual identity of the game.

Origins and Design Philosophy

As a longtime trading card game enthusiast, I found that many of the games I once enjoyed began to shift in ways that no longer resonated with me. This game was born out of a desire to create something that recaptured the fun, strategy, and unpredictability that I felt was missing. A great deal of thought has gone into designing each character, with several abilities drawing subtle inspiration from the mythologies or histories of their namesakes.

One of the core design principles is player agency—games are designed to be fast-paced and dynamic, with the potential for massive turnarounds at any moment. To succeed, players must embrace a bold playstyle: holding onto key cards for later may backfire, while going all-in each turn is often the best strategy.

Production Status and Future Plans

Currently, the game is in an early production phase. All cards are printed to a high standard using professional printing services, though updates to finishing touches, packaging design, and product presentation are planned. Importantly, no major gameplay changes are expected, and there is no active ban list at this time.

We are in the process of preparing a Kickstarter campaign to officially launch the game on a larger scale. While we do not yet have a launch date, our goal is to bring The Reapers of Universe 3 to players worldwide with your support.

Creative Process and Community

Aside from early collaborative development and playtesting, the majority of the game’s content—from card layout and mechanics to branding and production—has been crafted solely by me. A rich narrative and expansive lore are also in development to further immerse players in the universe we’ve created.
