Hello everyone,
I am happy to announce that This Ain’t Even Poker, Ya Joker will be launching right here on Steam on December 11th! There are 3 main phases throughout the game, each unlocking new mechanics allowing you to progress further and further. The demo version of the game, which is now offline, featured the 1st phase.
Full game features
Phase-based progression: Work your way through stages that introduce new mechanics in order to defeat the Jester and escape the carnival.
Expeditions: Find new otherworldly cards on exploration expeditions, or remove cards from your deck with destruction expeditions
Upgrades: Throughout the game there are several upgrade trees allowing you to improve your cards abilities to earn more money.
Ascension: Meet Mary the Fairy, who teaches you how to ascend in exchange for poker chips. Spend those chips to buy extremely powerful upgrades and bonuses to help you slip out of the Jester’s grip.
Quests & Achievements: Unlock quests and achievements, allowing you to supplement your earnings to quickly grow your coins.
Joker Cards: Unlock the Joker Shop to buy Joker Cards that pair with your decks and open up new ways to reach even bigger payouts.
Card Merging: Unlock merging expeditions, allowing you to combine cards to create even stronger versions and set up wild, over-the-top synergies.
Powerful Upgrades: Unlock new suits, values, rarities and even entirely new Poker Hands (5 of a kind? how is that even possible?) by ascending, allowing you to even further boost your earnings.
Rune upgrades: Find runes, then spend them to upgrade your cards to give yourself a fighting chance against the Jester.
