## About This Game
h8machine is a cardgame about internet arguments featuring anime art
generated at runtime by a machine learning algorithm!
the game is set in a dystopian future in which Artificial Intelligence has
completely overtaken the online world
## deepest lore
after learning the intricacies of social interaction from its me*tbag
predecessors, the AI has taken upon itself to replicate all kinds of
behaviours observed in humans on the internet…

controlling others
## falling in love at the first sight of a m’lady
woo the lady of your dreams by bringing in that hard earned
## hectic chaos of ticking timers
no one uses realtime-with-pause in cardgames, probably for some good reason.
but screw it, I like RTWP so I just put it in!
in h8machine, you will strategize around the use of timers as the flow of time
is your main resource! there is no turns and all cards time out, resulting in
a gameplay you haven’t seen yet in a cardgame. will you get lost in the hectic
chaos of ticking timers, or will you optimize every fraction of a second at
your disposal? remember: the active pause system allows you to play any card
you want while the time stops. use it to make your decisions and execute
powerful combos!
## deckbuilding with a personality
are you tired of collecting cards one by one and having to remove the crap
ones from your deck as a deckbuilder game goes on? looking at the bestseller
section of roguelite deckbuilders, evidently not… but hey, it can’t hurt to
try something else just for the hell of it.
in h8machine, instead of trying to collect a deck card by card, you grab
packets of cards with their own “personalities” – internet stereotypes and
whatnot. each of these personalities contributes 1/3 of your deck, and you can
mix&match them to easily form decks with a pre-constructed feel
## AI in charge of art!
the portraits in h8machine are all generated at runtime, thanks to a compact
neural network that can create… reasonable quality drawings in real time.
play around with the sliders and create a perfect anime avatar, and then watch
it post complete garbage – it’s just like real life social media!
