A good motto in any type of conceptual development seems to be “stick with what you know.” During yesterday’s SafeBucks (you know, when there’s a Starbucks inside the Safeway) brainstorming session we kicked around the idea of integrating some sort of trading card scheme into our games. Like many children of the ’80s, we spent a good chunk of time buying, trading, and generally obsessing over baseball cards (heck, we even spent summers begging for stamps and packing letters full of cards in hopes of getting player autographs through snail mail). So, why not develop a fun little trading card framework that can be easily integrated into XBox games? With that being said, we are now officially working on our first set of Team2Bit Virtual Trading Cards. Collect ’em all and be on the lookout for appearances in upcoming games! And be sure to get a plastic sleeve for Dr. Karate’s rookie card.
