Cardcraft-Author Sponsorship Package

Support the workshop

The CardCraft Engineering Author Supporter Pack is a cosmetic-only DLC for players who want to support continued development. It adds no cards, skills, currency, progression bonuses, or combat advantages.

Included

• Three procedural battle scenes: Author Foundry, Blueprint Vault, and Gold Reactor, each with three deterministic variants
  
• Three author workshop themes: Drafting Studio, Blueprint Room, and Archive Room
  
• A gold mechanical portrait frame with an optional low-intensity animated finish
  
• Three author-themed card backs and two card-frame and foil finishes
  
• An Author Supporter badge and title verified through Steam DLC ownership
  
• Three original soundtrack tracks and a five-page workshop design-notes PDF

The three DLC scenes automatically join the random pool while the pack is owned; there is no manual battle-background selector. Players with and without the DLC can play together. The host shares only a validated scene and variant ID, so supporter cosmetics never block multiplayer. If Steam is offline or the DLC is uninstalled, standard visuals are used while saved choices are preserved. The base game is required.

A thank-you, not a shortcut

This pack exists to support the people making CardCraft Engineering. It adds atmosphere and identity to your workshop without changing the decisions that make a match fair. Every gameplay value, card budget, skill, reward, and progression rule stays exactly the same.

How the scenes behave

When the DLC is owned and available, its three procedural scenes join the normal random pool automatically. There is no manual background picker and no advantage to choosing one. In multiplayer the host sends only a validated scene and variant ID; guests without the pack still see a compatible standard presentation and can play normally.
