Card Hockey
New Member
Howdy everyone and please pardon my perhaps unwanted presence here? My purpose is simple though; I joined the forum looking to find another Christian Programmer to help me finish a personal PC Card game project I began years ago. I’m not a game developer per se either; just a 56-year-old technical illiterate with a pretty good concept for an online interactive card game. I found a fellow years ago to begin designing the game with me who is now a friend and finally we actually got a playable demo done. BUT, and the reason I’m here, the programmer who did the demo on spec because he liked the idea, is not a Game programmer by profession either and so isn’t skilled to go any farther and doesn’t have the time anymore anyway and I’m not capable nor can afford to complete the game to make it how I wanted. The demo is the world’s first/only true ‘Hockey Card Game’ and I’m only requesting help to fix the game-play AI remotely and to convert it to web-based so people can play online instead of having to download it. Brian the programmer would provide all the code if someone can help in their spare time or whatever or perhaps knows someone that just wants to get some practical experience using my game. Anyway if anyone wants to take a closer look, my dev website is here: http://www.tegarttech.com/cardhockey if that’s allowed for me to post it. If not please PM me and I’ll provide the URL.
However, I still haven’t given up on trying to get it marketed either. I.e. as an NHL product and I also want to do a Soccer version of this Game. So if someone wants to partner with me to do a real nice commercial version to shop around and if it ever does see commercial success, it would of course be an equal share of revenue too. Actually I think we could easily start marketing just a generic version of Card Hockey online and make some money just testing it that way if I can get the expertise support? I’ve even found a graphics guy in the UK who is a Hockey fan of all things and is doing some graphics for the project. But I need a Programmer who can take control of the whole project coordinating everything with me and remotely providing me with new installs etc. I also have an NHL Player who is interested to endorse but needs to see a completely finished demo. So that’s another option for anyone interested to help me try to take it farther than just a personal project.
But even if it doesn’t make a dime, I’d like to at least be able to play it for personal enjoyment and eventually share with others because it’s actually just as good and as fun a card game as any other I’ve played and quite challenging. I play Bridge too so I know my Card Games believe me and I wouldn’t waste anyone’s time trying to pass off a lousy excuse for a video game whether it’s the only One I’ll probably ever do or not.
In fact I guarantee it is as close to the real thing as a Card game can get but see for yourself if you like? It’s programmed in C++ but I am open to having someone start over from scratch and do it ‘their way’ as long as the desired Final result is achieved. Thanks and forgive me if anyone was offended by my asking around in your forum.
