The Creator
HinChi is the creator behind Dynasty TCG
It all started as a lockdown project in 2021 at the age of 20. He was bored of the constant updates and changes to the trading card games he played, he found solutions to other problems and packaged it into Dynasty TCG
The First Takes
Through extensive tinkering and refining of game mechanics, the original concept art for Dynasty TCG began to take shape. This marked the birth of the iconic OG20 cards. In the initial stages, the first iteration of these cards was created by affixing printed paper onto a card base. While not elaborate or extravagant, this modest approach allowed us to make progress and propel the project forward.
​
These early iterations were crucial in laying the groundwork for what would become an extraordinary journey. They served as a starting point from which we could build and improve, bringing us one step closer to our vision for Dynasty TCG.
​
Though they may not have boasted intricate details or sophisticated finishes, these early cards held the essence of the game within them. They provided a tangible representation of our creative process, serving as a tangible reminder of our humble beginnings.
The White Boarder
Following the inception of the "print and play" cards, a significant milestone was reached with the production of our very first deck of cards.
This inaugural print, recognized as V1.0, marked an important step in the development of Dynasty TCG. Although not available to the general public, this initial print run was a pivotal moment for us.
​
While the quantity of the print run was relatively small, its significance cannot be overstated. It served as a proof of concept, showcasing the potential of Dynasty TCG and laying the foundation for future releases.
These V1.0 cards represented the culmination of our hard work and dedication, bringing the world of Dynasty to life in tangible form.
The Black Boarder
Introducing Black boarders. These cards were produced more extensively, serving as a means to test and experiment with different prints.
As a testament to our commitment to excellence, these cards were released to the public, allowing enthusiasts and collectors to experience their unique qualities firsthand.
The First Holos
During the design process, iteration becomes a crucial aspect, particularly when dealing with various combinations of product manufacturing.
As a result, we embarked on a remarkable journey that led us to the creation of the highly sought-after version 2.0 Holos of the original 20 cards, and behold, we proudly present a true gem - a framed uncut sheet!
The First Kickstarter
Kickstarter 1 marked a pivotal moment in the journey of Dynasty TCG, where we applied the knowledge and skills we had acquired and created something truly exceptional for our collectors.
This Kickstarter campaign played a vital role in propelling the growth of Dynasty TCG, and it's safe to say that without it, we wouldn't have reached the remarkable position we hold today.
A Fresh Look
From v1.0 to the v5.0 demo kit cards, Dynasty underwent a remarkable transformation. The artwork received a stunning update, accompanied by a fresh redesign that redefined the face of Dynasty.
Notably, these new and improved cards were not just visually appealing but also playable decks, introducing the epic battle of Wu Kong versus Jinso.
The Second Kickstarter
Bid farewell to the era of "new type" cards, as we embrace the winds of change. With the passage of time and unwavering determination, we successfully ventured into a second Kickstarter campaign, marking a significant milestone in our journey.
This endeavour granted us the opportunity to produce the much-anticipated supplementary cards exclusively crafted for the full decks.
​
Moreover, this second Kickstarter campaign also paved the way for the inaugural print of each meticulously designed card that was originally conceived during the testing phase at the very genesis of our venture.
These cards hold a special place in our hearts as they embody the essence of our beginnings and hard work.
​
More importantly this Kickstarter has helped propel us to phase 3 of Dynasty TCG
The Third Kickstarter
Moving onto the next phase of Dynasty TCG came the third Kickstarter,
this Kickstarter allowed us to develop new artwork that was more refined and helped us look at better packaging options, it was a great new development. However, something wasn't right, we felt like the cards had become bland and we lost a lot of the original feel and atmosphere. Hence we moved on...
The New World
Having taken all the lessons and tribulations of our journey of development, we looked to bring back the feeling of the ks 2 cards with a less realistic art style and more stylised splash artwork to give a sense of uniqueness to the game. We also managed to update the UI of cards to make the game easier to understand. Overall it is the most refined version that will be the blueprint to future cards.
