Hi all! I'm a solo dev and Commander player, and I've built PodMate, a life counter where everyone at the table plays on their own phone and everything stays in sync: life, commander damage, poison, turns and stats.
What it does:
- Joining: create a game, and your pod joins by scanning a QR code or typing a 6-letter code. It works over webcam too (SpellTable etc.).
- Commander damage: deal it from your phone, and it comes off their life on theirs. The 21-damage rule is built in.
- Commander stuff: tax, poison, energy, the monarch, the initiative and the city's blessing.
- Turns: a high roll on everyone's phone decides who goes first, then turns and rounds follow round the table.
- Friends: add friends with a code or QR and invite them to your game.
- Stats: every finished game is saved to your account (record, win rate, history).
- Languages: English, German, French and Italian.
Before I can release it on Google Play, Google needs at least 12 testers for 14 days. Will also test yours. I'd love your help:
How to join (2 minutes):
- Join the tester group:
https://groups.google.com/g/podmate-testers
- Open this link with the same Google account and tap "Become a tester":
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.tesh999.mtglifecount
- Install PodMate from the Play Store page that opens.
Please stay in the test for 14 days. If you leave early, Google's count starts over. Playing even one or two games with your pod would help a lot.
Everything you need is free; you don't have to buy anything. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome here or at [support@podmate.ch](mailto:support@podmate.ch).
Thanks, and may your topdecks be kind! ๐ฒ
