It's a phrasing thing for simplicity's sake. If standard cards refer to challenge cards in their effects, they will always be specific about it. I also don't tend to use the phrase "in play" for challenge cards unless, again, I specifically mention those.
But here's the thing. The card isn't specific about it. Some cards require you to have a certain skill level of something, but for cards like Duct Tape, they're not considered as a card of that type anymore. Wouldn't it just be clearer to say "Deal 2 damage to all CC for each Skill CC"?

You've got it backwards. It deals 2 damage for each skill engine/upgrade card in play. It's a card that rewards decks that focus on Skill cards, not a card that rewards you for being pressured by Skill CCs. Again, if it refers to CCs, it will state so explicitly. As such, you answered your own question.

Got excited when I found this but then saw the card game stuff. Oh well good luck with it though.
The card game is optional and can be turned off in the preferences. I believe I make this very clear in my release notes.

Ah sorry, my bad, never saw that bit, I read the overview spoilers but don't tend to read dev notes as well. Will give this a go then. I loved LLTP (y)

Is there only 4 match available only?
Yes, for now, and the bonus matches will eventually get removed. Each match should be tied to a specific photography session, so I can't really add them until the story calls for them. No worries though, there will be plenty as the game moves forward, including a brand new match against Blink in the upcoming update.

Yes! I finally managed to implement my long-awaited filter functionality in the deckbuilder. This has been one of my most wanted and most dreaded improvements to the game. It makes deckbuilding so much smoother, but the underlying code did not support this kind of thing at all. I spent most of yesterday and the early day today working at the problem though, and I got it working. Deckbuilding should be much less painful now.

Also, Update 1 is right around the corner. Like, within the next day or two unless something dramatic happens.

Supermodel Update 1 - Blink

This release is available to backers at the $5 level and above at either my or pages. You can find the download links in this and this .

Welcome to the first post-launch update for Supermodel: Defenders of Desire. While there is a versioning system in the game, I have opted to keep things as simple as possible by forgoing version numbers and simply naming the updates with sequential numbers and a short title. This version is called "Update 1 - Blink".

I haven't decided yet how we'll handle the tiers for Supermodel releases, so for now we'll do it the same way we did with Long Live the Princess. This means that Update 1 will only be available to backers starting at the $5 tier. It won't be released to the general public until Update 2 is out for backers. This release pattern may change in the future.

Let's get something important out of the way first: there's very little story in this update. If you've disabled the card game and just want more story, you might want to wait for Update 2 instead. Update 1 focuses entirely on expanding and improving the card game. Going forward, updates will jump back and forth between the story and the card game, with the story probably taking precedence most of the time.

If you're still reading, that probably means you're interested in the card game. If so, you'll enjoy what this version has to offer.

First and foremost, Update 1 gives you a proper introduction to Blink and lets you do your first photoshoot with her. She comes with her own set of 4 unique model cards and her scenario includes several new challenge cards that focus on Blink's core game mechanic.

In addition, five unique new cards have been added to the booster packs. As some of them can appear multiple times, you have 13 new cards to collect. These revolve around a new concept that opens up new options for decks with more than one trait. I'm excited to see how these cards will shake up the meta.

On top of all this, you'll find a number of minor bug fixes and balance adjustments as well as several quality of life improvements. Chief among these are the history function during story chapters and a new filter function in the deckbuilder. The filter is accessible via a button in the bottom left corner of the card list and should make it easier for you to create your own decks.

Please keep in mind that I have limited ability to properly test the game balance. Blink's game mechanics are so complex that there is no way for me to know whether they are fair or if they even accomplish what they are supposed to accomplish. The limited testing I was able to do felt right, but only you, the real players, can fully judge that. If you have any feedback on the game balance, please let me know so I can make adjustments. I want Supermodel's card game to be challenging and satisfying without becoming frustrating or a pushover, and I can only do that with your help.

Enjoy!

Changelog:
  • Added Blink's brief introductory chapter.
  • Added a new scenario for Blink with four new or modified Challenge cards.
  • Added five new cards that can be found in booster packs. Four of these cards are Uncommon and one is Epic. Since you can have up to three of each Uncommon card, that means there are 13 new cards to collect.
  • Added four unique Model cards for Blink.
  • Added History to the game menu while you play the story chapters.
  • You can now filter your card collection in the deckbuilder using the new button in the bottom left corner of the screen.
  • You are now limited to a maximum of 2 Epic cards per deck. If you already have a deck with 3 Epic cards, you can continue to play with it as before, but if you change it in the deckbuilder, you must first get rid of one of the cards.
  • "Resourcefulness" now applies its cost halving *after* Burnout has been calculated.
  • The game should now force the saved data to be written to disk between chapters. Previously this only happened when the game was closed, which meant that a hard crash could result in data loss.
  • Removed Burnout effect from "Ready When You Are".
  • Fixed visual bugs in Anna Chapter 2.
  • The Deckbuilder card list is now draggable on all platforms. This is an experimental feature and may be reverted based on feedback. Let me know what you think.

The official soundtrack for Supermodel: Defenders of Desire, just 30 seconds shy of a full hour's worth of music, is now available to the Wizard and Grandmaster tiers on my Patreon and SubscribeStar pages. I have a received a lot of requests for the soundtrack and I'm proud of what I've made, so it was high time I put it out there.

You can find the download links on my or .

The long-awaited ability to view pictures taken during photo shoots is finally coming in the next version. I've held off on announcing this since I wanted to make sure it would work, and now that I have finished implementing it, I know it does.

The next update is coming very very soon, within a matter of days. Unlike the previous update, this one is story-focused.

Supermodel Update 2 - Nightmare

This release is available to backers at the $5 level and above at either my or pages. You can find the download links in this and this . The previous release is now free to download for everyone.

With this update, we're finally starting to expand the story in a significant way. Update 2 adds a brand new story chapter for Blink, the largest chapter in the game to date. The new chapter follows on from the previous update and gives us a better understanding of Blink's powers and her struggles.

We're still not at the point in the story where the real sexy stuff starts to happen, but we're close. This update deals with darker, non-sexual themes that are important before the main storyline continues.

In addition to the story content, you'll now find a new icon on the banners for the card games once you've beaten them. If you click on this icon, you can see the pictures you took during the photo shoot without the user interface covering them up.

As for the patch notes, they're pretty sparse this time around, but that's mainly due to the chunky new chapter.

Enjoy!

Changelog:
  • Added a new Blink chapter ("Nightmare"), the longest chapter in the game so far.
  • You can now view the pictures from a photo shoot by clicking the icon that appears on its banner after completing it.
  • Clicking a character banner for Blink, Seraphim, or Vanguard in the main menu now displays their full name, making them easier to remember.
