» State of our online video strip poker project

The online strip Texas hold'em we are creating has made good progress. The game is now playable even if many technical issues are still to be fixed. In this article, I will share some thoughts on the gameplay and I will explain some technical problems we are facing with the strip-tease video. At last, I will show a few screenshots of the prototype.

Generally speaking, the game of strip poker is now well advanced but the game isn't stable enough yet to release a beta version for the public. For now, only developers can have some fun ;). In the current state of the game, 2 or 3 players can play with 2 very sexy girls an online strip Texas hold'em. Only one strip poker room is ready but the technical implementation for several rooms is done. Players can enter the room at any time and the video management works.

The screenshot on the left shows the page for choosing a room (this page will probably be redesigned from scratch because it's not the best UX experience ever right now). The screenshot on the right shows the room before the beginning of a strip Texas hold'em game, when there are not enough players on the table. The room has a name "Lust room" because the idea is to customize every rooms with different colors of backgrounds and tables. A room can handle up to 7 players, girls included.

Video are the most important feature of the game with a high value-added and their integration in a gameplay both efficient and exciting is far from being obvious but we're working on it. For now, video are displayed on the poker table over the flop and the pot. Each time a girl plays, she gives her decision (bet, call or fold) on a video. These one are very short, 2-3 seconds maximum to make sure the rythm of the game is not slowed down too much while letting the opportunity for the player to see the girls he is playing with. When a player plays, no video is displayed so that the flop is visible. In order to spicy up the game, it happens sometimes at the end of a turn that a girl offers to do a little show in exchange of chips. If the players give her enough chips, a video of the girl doing her show is displayed. And of course, when a girl has lost too many chips, she will rebuy by doing a strip-tease.

Video come with many technical issues. The game runs thanks to the new

Our online strip Texas hold'em is a "sit and go" game. Tournament mode will be implemented later, probably after the first release. The game in "sit and go" mode brings many problems difficult to solve. It woudn't be fair that a player sit at the table where the girls are already naked: he wouldn't have taken any risk to see their show. To avoid that while keeping the "sit and go" mode, we probably will have to set up an "entry fee" which value will depends on the game state.

These first screenshots should make the project more real to the eyes of the readers. Our online multiplayer strip poker is improving days after days even if many things are still to be done. The beta version on invitation will probably be ready for this summer. I hope you're as excited as us ;)
