Trading cards!

oh my god, this is an excellent idea, of course! Trading Cards!
*nice artwork too *

 

I was literally reading the 0.9.01 blogpost and then I clicked Devblog by accident and I saw the trading card post. I like the artwork a lot. Keep them coming!

 

just showed up i was like wtf is this.But what do you do with trading cards? It says its worth $20 but i cant sell it......

 

I really like the artwork style! The plain silver/coloured glass looks good and is a very smart way to get a consistent art style flowing.

I'm still not quite sure about two things though:

1. How much play time does it take to unlock a new card?

2. Is the more realistic portrayal of the Grand Marshal Police intentional? Is this going to be a special feature for certain cards?

-Edit-

Hilariously, there's already a listing for a 200BX trading card offered for a little over $520.00...

 

Heh, I don't think anyone would ever buy a trading card for more than $0.50, it's probably more worth it imo to just collect all the cards and get the badge.

 

The best deal I can find right now is a Miramar going for $0.30, and that's right after release. I think we'll start to see things stabilize fairly quickly.

 

im selling my bolide card for 3 mil canadian if you want it!

 

I'm confused... What are these exactly?

 

Steam Trading cards. You can access them in your steam account under "Inventory", and unlock more by logging a currently unspecified amount of gameplay time.

There should be one on your account right now. Let us know which one you've got!

 

I didn't even notice this until I got the Pigeon card.

 

Would I get multiple due to me logging over 300 hours on beam? Also, I can't check right now, as I'm on a trip.

 

No, you have to play more as the trading cards are new.

 

I've got 312, and I received the Hopper and the Hopper alone.

 

Dang it, well, due to the stupid amount of time I drop into this game, then I should get a lot of them very quickly!

 

Booya! first steam card collected in my inventory!

 

Kinda makes sense, it probably is beneficial for devs that people play trough steam and I guess this is way to encourage that, if it just would not be so bloated and slow way to launch the game, I would have a lot of hours instead of 22 hours it shows.

 

I got the hopper

 

I have (error) 404 hrs on BeamNG

I got the Gavril D15
as someone who collects baseball cards I kinda like this feature

 

Sorry to break it to you, but you get a maximum of four trading cards per game, until the market runs dry, and then they start dropping again.
