I always had a deep appreciation for the Final Fantasy series. But Final Fantasy VIII was, for me, something of an outlier to the rest of the franchise. However, getting older has changed my opinion on the game and I respect it far more than ever, especially its addictive mini game, Triple Triad. I had always wanted to own a physical copy of this enjoyable card game but found no such luck unless I wanted to spend an arm and a leg to get one. I decided that it would be good for me to develop my own version in order to both practice my own art and pay tribute to many of the creatures in the Final Fantasy pantheon.
As the project grew I decided to attempt to balance the game by creating nine elemental types and one non-elemental typing for ten groups and chose ten creatures for each. Each group has a card whose values add up to the following numbers: 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, and 28. This way, no one elemental group or card of the same overall value would be better than another. The key was to focus on succeeding with what you had. I certainly can't say it enough that is a free fan game based on Triple Triad and that I am in no way associated with Square-Enix, the owners of Final Fantasy and Triple Triad, and I certainly do own the designs that my art in 100 Fiends in based on. My art for this game is meant to pay tribute and celebrate my appreciation for the franchise and my love for Triple Triad.

Happy gaming all, and here's to a productive new year!
