Deckbuilder Templates
Create deckbuilder games with Summer Engine. Get inspired by templates below, or start from scratch with AI.
A deckbuilder turns a small starting deck into an engine. You draw a hand, play cards for energy, and after each fight you add new cards and remove weak ones, shaping a deck that does something the base set never could. The genre rewards synergy and the thrill of a run that comes together.
A template gives you that loop ready: a deck and hand with draw and discard, energy-cost cards, turn-based combat against enemies, card rewards after a fight, and a deck you carry between battles. With Summer Engine, the AI game engine compatible with Godot 4, you build on it by describing it: ask for a card that doubles your block, an enemy that punishes a full hand, a relic with a passive, or a new card rarity, and the AI wires the card data and combat with you while you play runs to test the synergies.
Balatro-Style Poker Deckbuilder
Create a poker-hand scoring roguelike where joker cards warp the rules, every hand is a gamble, and beating escalating blinds is the only way forward. Describe your twist and Summer Engine builds it with you.
Roguelike Deckbuilder
Create a card combat game with procedural maps, deck construction through rewards, and meta-progression between runs. Describe your vision and Summer Engine builds the foundation with you.
Slay the Spire-Style Combat Deckbuilder
Create a turn-based combat deckbuilder with energy-based card play, relic synergies, branching maps, and multiple character classes. Describe your world and Summer Engine builds the card engine with you.
