Rules & specs · Chronos Breach

Creator Rulebook

The short version

The full rulebook comes with your onboarding. This is everything you need to keep open while working.

Tone & style

Chronos Breach is a parody TCG: ironic, cheeky, the joke comes first. Every card needs a visual gag matching its name.
Style reference: humorous comic art in the spirit of Munchkin (think John Kovalic). Bold outlines, exaggerated anatomy, flat colors / cel-shading. No photorealistic shading, no epic dark fantasy.
One set, one style: your set is your edition. Your personal line is welcome, consistency within the set is required.

Technical specs (validated at upload)

Artwork	Square PNG, at least 1024 x 1024 px (keep a 2048 source)
Color	sRGB, flat file (no transparency unless briefed)
Safe zone	Keep faces/gags ~5% away from every edge (corner badges overlap)
Small-size test	Zoom out while drawing: silhouette and gag must read at inventory-icon size (~200 px)
Source files	Keep layered PSD/CSP/Procreate files, we ask for them for key art and promos

What a set is

You choose the size, up to 100 cards. Card names come from your file names and stay editable.
Theme gets approved before you start drawing (protects your time).
Stats, effects and balancing are added by the studio at release. You deliver names and art. Suggestions (via the description field) are welcome, but we can not promise they get implemented.

Hard rules

No generative AI, at any step. 100% hand-drawn (digital or traditional). Submissions are checked, including technically. AI submissions end the collaboration.
Parody yes, copy no: no real logos, no protected characters, no real people. Legally distinct archetypes carry the joke.
No extreme NSFW: cartoon violence is fine, gore and sexual content are not.
No watermarks, signatures or logos inside the artwork. You are credited in the game and on the set page; the image itself stays clean.

What you confirm on every submission (v2026-08-04.1)

Four separate checkboxes, each one required, logged with timestamp and text version. If the wording changes you confirm the new version on your next upload.

This artwork is 100% hand-drawn by me (digital or traditional). No generative AI was used at any step (no base, no inpainting, no backgrounds).
This artwork does not infringe third-party rights: no trademarks, no protected characters, no likeness of real people.
Upon acceptance I grant the studio the exclusive, unlimited license described in the Creator Rulebook (in-game, Steam items, marketing) and I waive further commercial exploitation of the motif outside this project.
I accept the revenue-share model as described in the Creator Rulebook. The exact percentage is defined in my individual agreement before release.

Submission is not acceptance: an artwork becomes part of the game only after admin approval and your signed individual agreement (which also fixes your exact revenue-share percent, the standard rate is 25% of net booster revenue). Rejected works remain fully yours.
