Hi there! ːmyfrogː
A month ago, our latest major update, Raddest Rewards, Biggest Balance & Sickest Synergies, came out, hope you all have been enjoying it! We started working on the next things right after that and we thought it would be a good idea to let you know what’s coming next to My Card Is Better Than Your Card!
I can almost see the finish line...
We’ve entered the last phase of Early Access! Our roadmap has just a few features left, and we’ve already started working on the big features that will be in the 1.0 version content update. We expect to be ready for 1.0 release in early 2027! There will be an announcement with a more precise date once we are bit further along with our plans.
(up to date version of our roadmap)
You might say, “but 2027 is sooo far away!”, and you would be right! That’s why we’re also going to do an interim update in October as well. There will be playtests for the October update in the near future too, so if you want to participate in the playtests join our Discord!
Spill the beans!
So, what’s coming in October?
We’re going to add even more hybrid stickers! We added a lot of them in the Raddest Rewards, Biggest Balance & Sickest Synergies update and they were so fun we’re adding more! We’ll be especially giving some extra love to sticker themes that didn’t get as many hybrid stickers as others.
We’re also improving the game experience with color settings! You’ll be able to adjust the brightness, saturation and contrast of the game. Since there are a lot of different monitors (and eyeballs) with their own quirks, these settings will allow you to easily tweak the game’s visuals for your comfort, for example if the colors of the game are too intensely saturated for you.

Gameplay assistance settings are also coming! Both success and failure are meant to be a part of the player’s journey in becoming the coolest kid of the playground in our game. But we also recognize that some of our players would prefer to have the option to alter the standard rules of our game in some way to make the game more accessible and enjoyable for them. For example, we will have an option to retry card battles if your playground rival happens to get the better of you.
Let us know if there’s other gameplay assistance settings we could offer that would make My Card Is Better Than Your Card more enjoyable for you!
We are also addressing some unintended behavior with our save system, which allowed players to reroll some RNG-related aspects of the game, like rerolling the sticker contents of shops and some other events in the game. Technically this is a bug fix, but we don’t want to surprise our community with this change, since it is quite a substantial change for those who are using this hidden trick.
That's all for this Playground Construction Diary! Huge thanks to all our players for the continued support! ːmycrabː If you'd like to have the chance to try some of the new things coming to the game, be sure to join our Discord to get notified when the playtests start!
