Building a Galaxy at War

​

Dark Galaxy Tabletop LLC is an independent game studio and the creator of Warcaste TCG, a tactical sci-fi digital card game built around fleet combat, deckbuilding, and battlefield positioning.

Our goal with Warcaste has always been to create a card game that feels like commanding a war across the stars, where the cards you play matter, but where you deploy them, when you attack, and how you control the battlefield matter just as much.

​

OUR STORY

​

Warcaste began development in 2020 in Cody, Wyoming as a physical tabletop card game.

The early versions looked very different from the Warcaste of today. Over the years, the game was shaped through countless hours of development, experimentation, and playtesting.

Some of our earliest testing took place at our local game store, Game Haven, where players helped us refine the core gameplay and where we were able to hold one of our first draft tournaments.

Development later expanded online through communities such as POPUP Playtests, giving us the opportunity to regularly test Warcaste with other game designers and TCG players from around the country.

Every test, tournament, new faction, and redesigned card helped shape the game Warcaste would eventually become.

​

FROM TABLETOP TO DIGITAL

​

After years of developing Warcaste as a physical card game, the next chapter is taking the war to the digital battlefield.

The digital version keeps the strategic foundation built through years of tabletop testing while allowing us to take Warcaste further with Story Mode, computer-controlled opponents, online PvP, campaign battles, progression, cosmetic card collecting, and a battlefield designed specifically for digital play.

At its heart, however, Warcaste is still the same game:

Choose your Doctrine. Build your fleet. Control the battlefield. Destroy your enemy.

CREATING WARCASTE

​

Warcaste is an independently developed project.

The game's design, artwork, lore, card text, factions, and overall creative direction are created by J C Bullinger.

The digital version of Warcaste is developed with the assistance of OpenAI Codex, which is used as a coding and software-development tool, while the creative direction and Warcaste universe remain independently created. Audio featured in the game is produced by human artists.

What began as cards being tested around a table has grown into an expanding science-fiction universe, and we're only getting started.
