Triple Triad Beta on DBT

Deceptor

Former Developer
We're happy to show you the first public beta of Triple Triad :) A card game well known from Final Fantasy 8, and if you don't know it you'll love it!

As a gift, we've given all existing users 30 Gil, this is the currency used in the game which you can gain by posting (5 for posts, 10 for threads). Simply head to Triple Triad (from the header) and purchase a Starter Pack to get some cards, you can head off to the battle arena to go against the CPU or arrange a match with another user!

Please be aware Triple Triad is still under development, the Tournaments section is currently off-limits to all users until it is ready to be used publically and you may encounter any bugs - which if you could report that would be great!

As a demonstration of the battles, here's one I just had with the Easy AI resulting in a draw: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/tripletriad.php?do=arena&act=replay&id=1
As a second demonstration, this is against the Hard AI which we've configured to be smarter, it also shows effects occuring with rules applied to the game, this one I managed to win: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/tripletriad.php?do=arena&act=replay&id=82

Feedback is welcome, enjoy! :)
 
Please stop using that ugly as heck triad board image! It's exactly the same one from RPG Inferno and it still pains me to look at it. Maybe get one of your graphics designers to whip up a new one? :p

Other than that though, being able to view replays is awesome. :O
 
Regardless, the board still looks pixelated and really needs a graphical update.

If you guys aren't than I'll have to do it myself whenever this mod actually gets released... :p
 
Okay, first bug- if you win a match, then try to take more than one card, you get the following message:

"You must select 1 cards to take from your opponent."

That's it. No back option, no refresh, nothing.

thats because you selected 2 cards, you forgot to unclick the first one you clicked...^_^ if you wan to go back just use the back button in the browser..^_^
nevertheless, they need to refine this

i think that is because they optimized the images for fast loading time, dont forget that this is the web, you should optimize every image as possible...
 
I will wait until then to purchase the game :)

It would be great if we could have Shout PRO intergrate with Triple Triad
 
In regards to the FF8 TT background, it's the one used in the FF8 game and the image provided to my by Cosmic, if you can find a higher resolution of the background I'd be happy to use that as stock. Keep in mind the image can be changed to whatever you like - the only constraint is you keep it the same dimensions.

The error message bug, not really a bug but I'll include a back-link :)

As Cosmic said, I should have this finished and ready for you by the weekend, until then enjoy the public beta!

I should note that the AI is not "specifically" easy/medium or hard, in this we use guages and attitudes to give the CPU certain attributes and accuracy to determine how well it can play. The attitudes are aggresive/offenseive with aggressive-defensive sub and defensive-aggressive sub, then an overall agg/def accuracy. This should make for the ability to create really stupid CPU players (more so than our Easy AI), and fairly tricky AI's (like our Hard, obviously the rules of a match will add depth to the AIs abilities).

PS: Don't attack the hard AI until you get better cards, this is what happens otherwise: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/tripletriad.php?do=arena&act=replay&id=57 :p
 
@ Deceptor; Lol! taht was my game, i have some good cards from Medium AI and just tried the Hard AI, but it went directly to the battle, it didnt let me choose my cards, thats why those level 1 cards were the ones played...

Musta picked the "random" rule ;)
 
The Random rule is absolutely infuriating. To have a chance we have to dump our entire collection except the most powerful cards, as the AI will have a perfect set every single time.
 
Actually the AI has its cards chosen at random also - although it will probably have a stronger pool to choose from.

;) This is just here to let you guys try it out remember, which means we need to have different rulesets available for people to see.
