Inspiration

Things that inspired us were the legendary r/place, classic drawing game Exquisite Corpse (where a person draws something, folds a piece of paper and another person continues the drawing) and the Doodle a Day Challenge. We wanted to turn it into a bit of a light hearted competition and also in the end have a ‘thing’ - a way to immortalise the winners of the daily doodle. So we thought we can apply this concept to playing cards which we’ll actually print.

To make it fair, we will share ownership of the final deck with all the winning artists and voters.

What it does

We're drawing a Reddit poker deck together. You doodle ⅓ of a card per day, the hivemind crowns the winning doodle, and in the end we print the deck. Winners own their art.

How we built it

We’ve tried a bunch of different art styles and concepts, cut a lot of corners and think that we have something pretty damn fun!

Challenges we ran into

We’re mobile devs so used more to unity and flutter, so navigating devvit was a bit tricky at first!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’ve had a very limited time to work on this but I think we managed to pull off a fully working fun competitive art game which is easy to pick up, hard to master and should grow over time - it’ll take half a year to fill the whole deck!

What we learned

The real learning will be once we release it in the wild and see what the redditors think of this - we know there’s a lof of stuff to improve there from the voting algorithm, to the inputs and general feel. The main learning is that we want to make more collaborative art games!

What's next for Exquisite Deck

If this idea works, it would be great to build a bigger portal using a similar mechanism for crowd-sourcing stories, films and maybe even whole video games!
