Card architecture
Made every card a ScriptableObject containing its stats, effects, art, and narrative flags, allowing the content team to create more than 40 cards.
A narrative card battler asks for a large amount of interconnected content: cards, effects, art, narrative flags, scenes, and UI. With six people working at once, the technical risk was not only unfinished features—it was blocking each other.
I treated the first hours as a production problem. The goal was to lock clear boundaries early, then let every discipline build independently.
In a jam, architecture is valuable when it removes waiting.
