THANK YOU, TIM!
Please bring back tree player card, amazing artwork!
You're like the 10th person on reddit to ask me for that. ;) What did you love about the tree card, out of curiosity? Can you band together with all the others who loved the tree card and tell me why you guys miss the tree card more than the other cards we removed?
Cuz
Come on! The chicken spray crew was more specific than that.
Have you ever looked at a tree? A life sustaining plant that gives into the world it's gift freely asking only for a place to grow. Let us celebrate this gift that nature has given to us. As we push forward into new technology and resources we should always look back at the basic ones we need to even exist. Fresh clean air is a thing to be protected and shouldn't we honor those you create it?
To quote the good Dr. Seuss and his book The Lorax
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
Also that book is about trees and I think it would be dope if the tree card came back.
Damn. That's deep.
As someone obsessed with the game's lore, I understand that some old lore has been retconned and some of those player cards may have been related to that, but that tree card really was special, as well as the stained glass card.
I loosely theorized that the tree was a sequoia or redwood that came too close to Radianite and grew to an astounding size. The Stained Glass card seemed like a reference to First Light, or maybe to a particular girl with some exceptional radiant powers.
The Haven Formation one was also spectacular, paired with the mystery of the device within. The Radianite explosion card stirred discussion regarding what kind of refining Kingdom is doing to the Radianite to produce the Spike "explosion" versus the explosion depicted in the player card.
I miss them, regardless of their involvement in the current lore; but if I had to pick one, the nameless Tree Card is definitely the most missed.
Edit: Thanks for your contribution to the game's art, and if you're able, send my love to the environment artists!
Thanks for this thoughtful writeup. :) I'm not an artist (just a producer), but I will tell the wonderful environment artists. I miss them so much now that I don't sit near them anymore due to quarantine. :'(
