Nice tutorial. :)

Thank you, sir!

Excellent intro tutorial. I got up and running with Multideck as I watched you. Saved me tons of time. Thank you.

[@PnPHideaway]

Glad it helped!

[@DustinPorta]

Having difficulty getting Multideck to recognize the csv file and image folder; getting the yellow triangle Validate: “Image folder is not within the Project Folder”. All I need is the image without a title/label or text, so do I still create all 4 columns? TYIA

[@PnPHideaway]

Hi Jane, I get that too. It's not a fatal error, in that it doesn't stop me from specifying my CSV file and Images folder. It just means that if you move the CSV or Images folder, Multipack will not detect those movements and you will need to re-tell Multipack the paths to the CSV file and images folder. Hope this helps! :) You create as many or as few columns as you need. :)

@@PnPHideaway Thank you! I connected with Mutltideck as well. I figured out my struggle in that I only wanted to print images, so selecting plain/rich text only gave me png text of the image. I also saw the warning triangle on your Validate checkmark so that was reassuring. I’m a therapist creating a therapeutic board game for kids so the games-icon and binder clip stands were incredibly helpful!! Thank you!!!

Is there a Windows equivalent?

[@PnPHideaway]

Check out Nandeck. It’s not as easy to use as Multideck, but once you’ve conquered the learning curve, it is very powerful.

[@gameon2553]

@@PnPHideaway Excellent. Thanks Martin.

@@gameon2553 If Martin had allowed my message, you would have had three alternatives for Windows, but for some reason he didnt allow it through :(

[@gameon2553]

@@ThePigeonofWar I doubt Matin blocked you. Why would he? What were your alternatives?

[@ThePigeonofWar]

@@gameon2553 Well, hard to say, might have gone into his spam folder or something for manual review :p Alternatives I mentioned was, nanDeck, as he suggested as well (quite powerful, but not so beginner friendly). Card Creator, on steam. One time purchase. Probably the least powerful of them all, but still quite intuitive and easy to learn. component.studio, which is subscription based, created by TheGameCrafter, the one I have used the most. Probably the most similar to MultiDeck, in sense of what it can do, and how easy it is to learn.

Awesome technique of organizing! And nice tutorial! I wanna make my own game too! Do you sell your game? Have you try making any kickstarter campaign sir? Maybe you can share your thoughts in kickstarter campaign please. Thank you! 😊 more power to you!

[@PnPHideaway]

Thanks for your kind words! :)

This tutorial was fantastic, great job!!

[@PnPHideaway]

Thanks, glad you found it helpful. :)

[@danielstamm9957]

So helpful - thanks a lot! Do you know how I can make just some words bold/different colors in my text? I understand how to make a whole item/all text bold etc but I can't figure out how to just select one word and affect that. I can format it that way in Numbers but it doesn't seem to transfer that kind of information?

[@PnPHideaway]

Have you tried Rich Text? I believe that supports formatting. :)
