Cactus Game Design Message Boards

                   Hello everyone! Does anyone out there have programming experience, computer animation experience, or sound technician experience? I'm looking to make a Redemption app for iOS and Android. My goal is to make it so one could play online with friends and other random players looking for matches. It will have a campaign-like single player mode with rewards. It will have every card from every expansion but they must be purchased via micro-transactions in booster form. It will be fully animated and have sound effects for everything. I'm also looking for illustrators and designers willing to join the team and bless the Redemption community by allowing it to blow up and be recognized by millions more.
                 There aren't too many faith-based game apps out there and I believe many Christian parents would rather have their children playing Redemption TCG Online than Candy Crush or Clash of Whatever. If the Redemption community backs this tremendous step forward, we could have this app running sooner than later and see thousands of people playing the Redemption app and, with the link to the Three Lions Gaming site and Cactus Game Design site, they will be able to order cards and merchandise through the app as well.

I'd be willing to help sponsor and financially support this project if the app will also include the ability for users to purchase Redemption products and card supplies from my business, Your Turn Games.

um micro-transactions when lackey is free? 

Lackey, although it is free, is not a very well known program and it doesn't have a mobile version. Many of you have only heard of Lackey through Redemption. I know over 100 people personally who own large collections of Yu-Gi-OH cards and still play the Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links app and buy through minitransactions in attempts to rebuild their decks. Do not underestimate the collector factor. Also, believe it or not, not many people have even heard of the Redemption card game, and I believe this app could introduce them to the game. Minitransactions are a great way to ensure a line of income for future development and for Cactus Game Design to receive additional revenue in order to release more expansions. My role as of now is all of the above and design, hence the search for different talent and advisers. I am looking for like-minded individuals to work with me, not for me.   

Without significant funding a project like this will go nowhere.

i've honestly expected to fork $2,000,000 to do this app properly

Good luck and God Bless on this project.

I have already received confirmation from various companies that are willing to sponsor and financially support this project once we get Rob's approval.

Just for my own curiosity are these companies aware that the total Redemption player base numbers in the low hundreds (if that)?

I don't have much experience with programming apps and such, but I could help with some pseudo programming. It isn't much, but I will help wherever I can.

Having had conversations with Lramos89 for quite some time now, I am confident that we will be able to see this through. As Vega said before, there have been folks praying for something like this to become a reality. May God bless our current efforts and make our way forward.

we are (at this moment) in an online meeting and developing the foundation

would you mind designing a welcome page? maybe the opening screen?

I would be interested in the entire setup for this venture - also wrote this to Lramos89. So how will collaboration and coordination work etc. ...

I'll emerge from my hiatus with a question. Would you guys be streamlining the game at all?

I can't imagine how difficult it would be to code the game with Redemption's VERY complex ruleset. Part of the reason I stopped being active in the community was because of the now VERY complex rules.

Hearthstone for example is a mess when it comes to coding and that game is much simpler than Redemption and Magic and is run by a multimillion dollar dedicated gaming corp. Hearthstone still has spaghetti code and it's been out for over 3 years.

If you've played any video game TCG's that require steps or counter play during another opponents turn it can get very tedious to play online with other people. Look at MTG Online (which note never made it to IOS, Andriod, Mac or Steam, it's a PC only thing), if you watch game play a significant amount of it is just passing the phase.

I can totally see this becoming a thing for PC or Mac but I'm not sure Redemption can fly on IOS or Android without being significantly streamlined via either the cards released for the platform or with slight gameplay changes.

I hope you guys succeed but what has stopped most people before you has been the coding and with how complex the rules are for Redemption now that problem will only compound itself.

Also the images you guys posted looks great but I can't imagine having 20+ cards in territory on the field and having a 5+ card battle going on all at once on a phone let alone a iPad screen. Doable for PC or Mac but way too much stuff on a tiny phone or iPad screen.

Images? Thought those were a joke by kariusvega? Here they are not shown when moving the mouse over - withing all other threads in this board I can see all images (also in the RoJ thread). Can I see them somewhere else?
