Title: Galactic Council - my first game, an adaptive sci-fi deck building bonanza Post by: h1ff on March 26, 2013, 11:42:48 AM Hey everyone!
I need some feedback on the first (ok - 4th if you count garage made board games :) ) game I've created, Galactic Council. (http://www.samthewebsiteguy.com/galacticcouncil/images/Where_Forgotten_Promo.jpg) The current site (found at http://bit.ly/ZXemhn (http://bit.ly/ZXemhn)) is a working prototype for a much larger vision, a community driven game website where members are encouraged to try their hand at card, rule, lore, and content creation - all under the umbrella of the game universe's lore (each player represents a member of the Galactic Council, battling other members for territory and resources and voting on how such battles are played out.) (http://www.samthewebsiteguy.com/galacticcouncil/images/ScreenCaps/screencap_3_25_13_smaller.jpg) Gameplay Pic (http://www.samthewebsiteguy.com/galacticcouncil/images/ScreenCaps/screencap_CC_3_25_13.jpg) Create-A-Card Feature I've built the game's framework using web technology (HTML5, php, jquery, ajax), allowing for faster prototyping, frequent updating, and a bevy of stat tracking. This means that you don't need to download anything to play the game (not even flash), just grab an up-to-date version of Chrome, FireFox, or Internet Explorer and start playing. This is one of my design philosophies - allow players access to their player accounts anywhere, on any browser-capable device.

I would appreciate any feedback - if it would keep you from coming back to the site, I'd like to know about it so I can fix it. A concept like this just won't work without happy & contributing players! Thanks for your time guys, Sam "h1ff" |
