I spoke with the creator of Frenzy- here are his answers to my questions:
Q: Please describe your trading card game!
A: Frenzy is a two player game where you get to choose 1 of the 4 factions to go into battle. You have 4 zones on the field and attack the warrior in front of you. First person to send 5 warriors to the Rest Zone wins.
Q: What inspired you to create your own TCG?
A: I always loved making games when I was little. Me and my brother would always test out my original card games that I made out of card stock. My inspiration would just be cartoons involving card games.
Q: What TCGs did you grow up playing as a kid?
A: I played mostly Yu Gi Oh and a little bit of Chaotic, and magic.
Q: What sets Frenzy apart from other TCGs?
A: I wanted make Frenzy as simple as possible so anyone can play. I wanted to make each faction different so there’s was something for everyone. You got Dragons, Ice Knights, Heroes, and shadow knights. It’s also great because it’s a quick game too. I didn’t want it to drag out or be really complicated with all the effects. Maybe later on I’ll add crazy stuff but for now I wanna keep it simple.
Q: How did you come up with the name Frenzy?
A: I was trying to find something short so people could remember it. I went online and looked up synonyms for words having to do with battle, havoc, chaotic, etc… that’s when I saw Frenzy and knew that’s what it had to be called.
Q: How long have you been working on the game?
A: I’ve been working on it for about 6 months. I’m working on Set 2 right now hopefully to be out in February.
Q: What is the illustration/design process like?
A: At first I hand drew everything and was originally going to use the hand drawn characters. But when I put it on the digital card I didn’t think it looked right. So I used Procreate and started to draw them again. This was also the first time I ever used procreate or any digital software.
Q: What are your future plans for Frenzy?
A: For now I just want Frenzy to be on the Game Crafter so Anybody can get it. I love the homemade TCG community so I want to keep it simple. Hopefully more sets and starter decks will come out soon.
Q: Will you be at any upcoming conventions?
A: Not yet but hopefully someday I can go to conventions and teach people how to play.
Q: Do you have any advice for someone looking to make their own TCG?
A: My advice for creating a TCG is to draw a lot, watch cartoons, and anime involving card games for inspiration, and support other TCG creators.
