Hi all,
Update: As the game is up for almost two years now, I'm updating this post with new information.
First, thanks to The Player, we have a Yu-Gi-Oh soundpack, bundled with Mush client for Windows. You can grab it from their Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qrhu16a4r7781 … k.zip?dl=1
The same link is also available in post #25.
I've received numerous requests to enhance the game with the remaining Duel Monsters cards and new features, like tag battles and a tournament mode. Unfortunately, due to most things being hardcoded, rewriting the game from scratch would be a much easier undertaking. The current game was not designed with modularity and extensibility in mind.
Rewriting the game will take a considerable amount of time, but it will have a huge list of benefits. For example, we will be able to create custom clients, with music and sound fx support, voice chat, support for additional platforms, a tutorial, etc.
Currently, there are plans to create a game engine which uses Lua for the battle rules, which would allow almost anyone with very little programming experience to extend the game with new cards. This is crucial to add the complete five thousand or so cards from the original series, which was my goal all along. Unfortunately, unless it becomes a full-time paid job, or we can get a few proficient programmers, I will not be able to complete this alone in the near future.
Still, the game in its current form has hundreds of different combinations, so it is certainly fun to play.
Thank you everyone for your support! Game on!
(Below is the original announcement):
I'm here to announce the availability of one of the underestimated gems of the Brazilian Portuguese community, a text-based Yugioh game.
A few years ago, we had a Brazilian and an English version available, however it was not quite manageable in its current form.
With the permission of the author, Edward Martin Suli Manias, I am hosting a version for the English speaking community.
Grab a telnet or mud client and join tardis.pw on port 1963. Assemble your deck from more than 300 cards and let's see who is the king of games!
Other than completing the translation and fixing some card names, this is entirely the work of Mr. Martin.
See you in the dueling arena!
