Tetra Master & RPG Mod

[Noctis88]

Hey guys, i wanna give suggestions about the tetra master games, basically its the same card board games just like triple triad, but it has different formula. You can check out on FFIX Tetra Master, and i wonder if in the future you guys will release a game project like tetra master too?

And im really looking forward to have RPG Mod, do you have any plan to make it too? because i think it's popular Mod

Thx u!

No plans for Tetra Master at the moment, maybe way in future.

Already planning to make 2 RPGs =)

I'm curious, and am sure this has been answered somewhere, but if Triple Triad was a game in Final Fantasy 8, then how do you have legal permission to use it?

We sell the software with all the front and back end etc included. It also contains rules which were popularised by Final Fantasy 8 - we're not selling the game itself, nor any code from final fantasy 8. AFAIK the rules of triple triad are not patented anywhere, and game rules are not copyrighted upon creation (See every fighting game ever using combos, health bars etc, The hundreds of Pac-Man clones, Galaga clones...)

Games borrow elements etc from each other all the time because they are not individualy patented/trademarked.

The only grey area is us using the name. It's one of those situations were Square-Enix could request us to change it - If they did, we would, but i doubt they care =P

Ahhhh, I had no idea about the patenting of card games. Thanks for the response.

Wow! Will they be similar to RPG Inferno?

Tetra Master is something I've always wanted to make, so at some point in the future I will see it happen. When is not specified, but I have every intention of making it at some point Breath should not be held, however.

Please.. please PLEASE make sure at least one of them isn't Anime/Asian themed. I'm just not an Anime fan and would like to see a more traditional RPG created.

Haha not my style either.

one of them is going to be a monster raising/breeding/battling RPG, The other a traditional RPG Inferno style RPG.

Excellent news. =) Unfortunately I never did see RPG Inferno so... I can only guess from everyone else's reactions to it how full of awesome it was. So my hopes are high! =)

Either way, both sound kick ass and I can't wait. =)

 

[Webbstre]

I never saw RPG Inferno either. Is there any place we can still try it out? Just curious as to what exactly it was.

Tetra Master is not like Triple Triad whatsoever.

TT:
Static cards
Single values
Sides
3x3 - fully usable

TM:
Dynamic cards (values/corners change/can grow)
Physical/magical values
Corners
4x4 - random blocks

 

[Outlawed Offroad]

The RPG sounds good, I just hope it's modifiable enough that I can change it's theme from Fantasy/Anime/etc. to a Street style with crackwhores, drug dealers, etc.

 

[Noctis88]

The other a traditional RPG Inferno style RPG.

Awesome! i wonder if its based on Final Fantasy series? if that so then im looking forward to buy it

Thx u for the reply!

=) Will be a completely unique game/story.

The battle system is likely to be quite similar to the traditional JRPG ATB systems though, but i've not decided for certain yet ^^

Not to resurrect a dying thread, how much thought have you put into the underlying rules such as attack/defense balance and that sort of thing? Or character classes/races? I know I've labored the point in ShoutBox before, but this project is near and dear to my heart.

Just call me Mr. Impatient.

For the traditional RPG - very little, since it's quite a way from development.

For the Forumon monster RPG, quite a bit, most of that was planned out about 3 months ago when fillip was over at my apartment and we were planning the launch of the business =)

Don't worry, I'm quite good with this sort of thing =P Designing RPG Inferno gave me quite a bit of experience - we had over 10 million people play that thing xD

EDIT:

Here's a little taster of some work out Sprite Artist has been doing for the RPG =)

These are all unfinished images, because I don't want to ruin the surprise xD. We've got a large library of finished ones so far though.

The body parts are very interchangable as well, giving literally millions of possible combinations.

 

[Edrondol]

I guess I didn't realize you had written inferno. Damn it! Now I'm even more impatient!

I can't take credit for coding it- that was Zero Tolerance, but designed it including the stats, battle system, balancing etc.

Doing tetra master will require a lot of reserach into the mechanics of battling with the cards, i don't think anyone really has any idea how the card battling system works, it seems pretty random. whoever, if Fillip H. takes this up in the future i'll help out with it as its something i too would like to see. (i'll most probably end up making card sets for them ) tetra master was an awesome game though

I think i already suggested this a while ago.
