Doing a little bit of searching, I happened to find this thread. While not anywhere close to being complete, I love the level of polish in the design. In my perfect world, the creator would have made and provided files for the card templates, and a browser-based program like the X-2 Card Creator would exist using those templates to speed up the creation process.
I really do think, if we (you, me, and/or the community at large) want an updated compilation of standard-size cards, we need to recruit a graphic designer to create the templates at the very least. My graphic design skills are nowhere near being adequate enough to create professional-quality templates on my own. If the stat/ability entry is on the same level of simple as the X-2 Card Creator, I'm more than willing to put in the work to help compile everything. |
I have the skills of making my own templates and am quite good at photoshop. Its been one of my playgrounds for the past 20 years. However. What you're asking of the designers of the card templates is above and beyond a graphic designer. Putting the templates into a working code based system that works through a web browser is more into computer coding territory. I have been debating doing a smaller sized card design for scape for some time now. Its not that the ones out there arent good. They just arent too my taste visually. There's a fine line between visually unappealing because there is no style to them, or too much going on, compared to the perfect amount of pictures, text, and interface to make the card do what you want it to. I've made custom card templates a plenty before, but don't have the coding skills to do what you are after. If you can find someone to do the coding part for this and I can pick their brain for other projects of mine, I could possibly be the guy that makes the templates for said custom project. Even if there were templates made for the text and such, importing the pictures and hitzones is still another thing entirely for the people making the cards. If I'm being honest, wouldn't it be better to wait on this kind of thing for the new generals of scape 2.0 to come out so you could at least see what format they are using. If they use a different format, you could copy the new format.

The need for a coder/programmer was something I neglected to mention in my response, and would of course be a necessity for the scope of what I'm suggesting. In my mind, the first step is to create the card templates and from there find someone to handle the setup of a user-friendly plug-and-play card creation program. Even with X-2, users still need to add their own images of figures and hit zones outside of the program proper. Could a feature be added in which the user can drag/drop/insert/upload edited images into their respective fields on the card? Certainly, as long as the recruited programmer is willing to create that feature.
I do agree that this could wait until we have more information about AoA cards and their format. Realistically, this wouldn't be completed before 10/1 anyway (due to peoples' personal and work schedules). That said, a program like this would (IMO) be a welcome asset to the community.
