On the AI front, one test is to try to lose. I had a go just to see what happened, and I found it very difficult to lose 200 without being obviously insane.

For high-card problem, shouldn’t be a fix in this game, alas.
But I intend to re-use the engine, so, it will be fix then, elsewhere, as well as IA. (probably in some “progressive difficulty”, the most smooth way to do it)

The “question” is a tribute trick to meetnfuck games, where the direct gruesome answer is always the bad one In this case, it’s just the opposite, and I probably tricked a lot of people with that.
Just a little joke

I won’t go into details (you can read my blog for insights and stories about that anyway), but making the graphics is by far the hardest part, at least for me, lol. So, if I COULD do 2 or 3 other girls, you would have 2 or 3 new games a week or far bigger ones, garanteed.

And yep, slow gameplay is frustrating as hell. Either you try to make your gameplay quick, or you try to make it interesting. In-between is just painful.
But as far as hentai players goes, it seems no one enjoy “playing”, in fact, and prefer by far hentai without gameplay. (story/dialog hentai, “straight to the point” ones, etc)
So, I’m sort of going the wrong way, with all that, alas. :/

(I should definitely learn how to do short answers, in some other life ^^)

(and yeah, the MMO should have some fight club thingy like you described, if it gathers enough support, it’s planned !)

As yayporn99 says, the logic of comparing high-card hands is broken. Any chance of a fix?

I found the gameplay a little bit too easy, but I accept your point that it does have to be fairly easy. I have played quite a lot of these type of games and got the hang of them.

The “question” asked by the slut at the beginning seems a bit pointless. Why would I want to play “just strippin”?

I would like it if you released more variants on this—all you have to do would be change the graphics (possibly not very much), and alter the girl’s poker-playing behaviour (e.g. a girl who bets a bit more aggressively on good hands, or one who bluffs more), I think two or three more versions would all be worth playing for a couple of hours.

(I admit, I don’t know how much effort goes into making the graphics, I’ve not done that sort of thing).

To finish with another compliment—I really appreciate the speed of the gameplay in this game. I get annoyed by card games where you have to wait for cards to be slowly dealt etc.

I once programmed an “unbeatable” chess IA.
I suck at chess, but I like the foundation : nothing random, known to everyone, easy to adapt to anything. It was the carpet gaming for a story-telling thingy I’ve done in the past.

I figured out the IA like this (as far as I remember), each turn :
- list every enemy pieces in random order.
- check all them for each of those actions :
- if it can take a player’s piece, do so. (and end of turn, obviously)
- if it protect another piece, don’t move.
- if it is about to be taken, move it.
- when moving, chose somewhere that prioritze the same actions (move it in priority somewhere where it will be able to take a player piece, etc…)

Somehow, no one seen any real thing about the game, because among hundreds of players, none was able to beat first stages of the chess minigame inside, with that IA !
Because IA don’t do mistakes, and given enough “phases” of reflexion/action (this one has 5, more or less, to handle everything), that can avoid anything and don’t miss any opportunity to beat you down.

And that IA was the EASY version, made quickly ! Because it’s very very obvious it could have lots of other phases : checking if taking a piece put you at risk and/or unprotect your piece, prioritize the pieces (queen, pawn, etc…), running a “chessmate seeker” phase, or just adding the checks and planning for turn+2, +3, or +10 !

And I don’t EVEN mention the fact IAs can be made to cheat a little, just to spice things up !
Let’s say, in our case, I don’t know : counting how many time a poker IA folds (which is already in place), and add definitive levels of cheating when too many, like probability to obtain the right cards to make big figures, hmm ?
And that’s just the easy way, there’s far more trickier stuff that could be made ^^

Yeah, maybe someday, when I feel players are ready for a little challenge and would appreciate it

But other than that idea is nice =)

But I think he is a nice one, among trolls : he was really gentle about it, usually people don’t take half the pain of focusing on what they would prefer, when they bash the rest, so…

And anyway, it’s a good reminder of why we don’t have 10 good hentai games a week, nowadays, and how people completely overlook NOTHING force creators to do anything, or to share it with other people, given how hard it is.
And even when there is, the fragility of it before “it’s not worth it” deadline is astonishingly ignored

But in hentai sphere, contrary to a lot of thing, we get what we plant :/
Too much bash, no games left, period, starting over from scratch.
(and too much compliments and support, games are rising by the hour !)

Thanks for getting at the castle’s tower equipped and ready, anyway, always warming my heart

And for the record I am NOT putting down Mattis at all, someone of his talent should work on something with a FUTURE, not some game genre/design that has been farmed and beaten to a void of boredom.

How about you make your own flashgame, animate, draw, and build it from scratch just to show us how its done. If not, don’t go bashing others for things you yourself won’t take (or can’t take) the time to do.
