Help in a Expasnion-based CCG

dragon6860 · 05-28-2008

HI Everyone, as you may or (probably) may not know, I've been working on making a Inflation based Card game. Been working on it for a bit, but there is a rather severe problem. There is no way to actually PLAY the game, which is why I've come to you for some help.

There's the link for the card set, and the rough layout of the rules.

Now, what I need help with is some way of actually being able to play this game with each other. I thought something flash-based might work, but I have negative skill points in flash coding, and no time to learn. (Med school leaves you with little free time)

So what I need is someone, anyone to lend a hand with this. Any ideas of how we could play it, how to work it or anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

Here be a helpful tip.
Try to be usin' somethin' better than MSpaint.

Heh, naturally, but that IS my level of drawing skill. There are numerous other pieces which are NOT MS paint, done by a large number of artists, but it's not really about the art. What did you think of the rules and how the game worked?

Did ye get permission to use those pictures from the actual artists who be makin' them?
I be findin' meself suspicious on this account.

Lol I found it pretty funny and interesting too bad no one here meets on physical basis so it can be played

You can try to play with the coding for the Magic: the gathering program Apprentice, I mean they are able to make cards and sets for it so I guess if you have enough skill as a programmed you could probably modify it for your own game.

dragon6860 · 05-29-2008

Apprentice eh? Hmm...that might work. Have'nt heard of the program, but if it's based on Magic, and you can make your own cards and sets, and you can do net play, that may work really well

I'll download that program and take a look, may work

And LGS, Yes, I got permission for as many as I could. There were a few artists that i was unable to talk to, due to them being gone from the inflation community, I got permission from most of them.

Yea it is a tool players use to make and test decks so they know if they are possibly any good before they go out and buy the cards. It also supports the option for 2 people to play each other, so good luck.

hey this is Kutono, this is actually my first post on this site regardless of being a member for over a year. I'd be willing to help design the cards my tip is to find a bunch of good WG or Inflation artist and ask there permission on the art problem. But I'm here if you want me to design the cards.

dragon6860 · 11-22-2008

Hehe, sadly, the problem isn't making the cards, it's getting some kinda program to actually PLAY the game :-D everything I've come up with doesn't work that well

Not sure what to do about that...

There's a flash thing on Newgrounds that has a TCG game that is online for free, maybe we could ask the creator how you go about making a online card game.
