Hey guys

[Michael Y]

good point. I'm not really thinking tonight because I'm busy working on my Snails tutorial

You can't use anything from the original card game- meaning names, gamestyle (2 anything, 2 plains, 2 mountain, 2 forest, with 7/7 damage/health), etc. You can use it as a springboard and influence, but you can't copy it.

This already doesn't sound very well thought out if scanning the original graphics was grabbed up instantly.

This is a PocketPC, which allows alot of new paths to be taken that weren't possible in a card game. Think about the possibilities- the biggest mistake you could make is making this a "card game". Solitaire anyone?

I'd suggest you get a portfolio of the coders work before you jump into a venture. Some of them don't have a history of finishing a project. Something to think about so you aren't left hanging 2 months into the project.

Ya, that was my first thought, too, randall. But you know you could just work on it and release it through warez channels without any author information on it. Then atleast it would be out, and all of us would no it was you that did it. Or you could contact Wizards of the Coast and ask for authorization to create a "port" of Magic the Gathering to the PPC. Make a deal to split the profits 50/50 or even 75/25 in their favor, since it's obvious that you're not in it for the money.

Example of PPC game development thread.

Haxor666: Dude, I'm gonna make a baldur's gate type game for PPC. Anybody have any suggestions?

DragonLord: Hah, I've been playing BG for years! I love it! Please, Please, make this game!

Elfboy: Yes! Finally a cool isometric PPC game is being made! Please let this be so..

GirlXXX: You guys are stupid.

LittlePoke: Shut up GirlXXX! I think this is awsome! I can do some artwork for the game. My email is Littlepoke@Poke'mon.com

Doom123: I also can help. I have programmed in C++ for years, just let me know what you want me to do.

*2 weeks pass, with more people posting how great of programmers, artists, and musicians they are, with the occasional RPG nerd saying how cool this game will be*

*4 weeks later, a website never appears. Haxor666, is nowhere to be found, and Reality Check starts posting how this project is dead.*


That pretty much sums up about 90 percent of the PPC game development threads.

Yeah TechMage, that's exactly what I mean, but I'm sure this project is totally different from those

I dont want this to turn into another argentum so Im just going to work on it myself and give info as it progresses. Later when I need beta testers i might ask but thats it for the new. I just said it out loud to see if there would be a big enough audience for the game.(And rob i keep trying to talk to you but im usually only on at night....same tonight dude)
