Currently I have done Texas Hold'Em, Omaha Stakes, Double Flop TH, and Tournament TH.

Scrabble is almost done.

Other places have Bingo, and single player casino games


What other games would you like to see developed?

Personally Im looking for multiplayer games for social interaction.

I would like to see live dealer Blackjack...with options of single deck...up to 5 decks possibly. 5 or 6 player spots available with Double-down. Split, Insurance, and even multiand options where you can sit in at more then one hand. I play cards b/c i don't trust machines...and all the BJ i have played here has been a scripted dealer that could certainly be rigged. Blackjack skills include math...and i have done the math with many automated tables here and i know they dont deal straight decks.

The beauty of your TH and other games is that its not a profit churning game for the owner...it adheres to real life dealing from actual decks. I would like the same option in Blackjack, with a single deck or two, brning cards at the deal, and actual positions where you have a third basemen who knows the game and can help/hurt the ohers with his draw. yes the house usually wins with BJ, which is fine because atleast i know that the strategies of the game would be recognized rather then the randomness of these scripted ods systems in place now.

That's a really interesting possibility, and for some reason, all of a sudden, I'm thinking Rainman. :)

I'm not sure what other games there are, especially in the multiplayer game dept. But if lag could be lessened in some cases, we could have more games that are dependent on "twitch" action.

Archaegeo, when you said

, I was seriously thinking of some sort of a mini-Dungeons & Dragons.

Arch, I have a working scrabble board if you would like to take a look at it sometime.

I also have Othello, Chess, Checkers, Backgammon, with several other games in the works.

Currently working on an old favorite of mine called Survive. Great game with a sinking island that you have to save your peeps off of.

Othello! I forgot about that one... good to hear... it's the game that takes a minute to learn, a lifetime to master! Not unlike Second Life. ;)

I've never heard of Survive. The sinking island part, though, tells me it is markedly different from the TV show "Survivor". :)

Thought that was Mastermind. But I could be talking out my ear due to post-flu-brainmelt. :D

Yay, Mille Borne! But to really do it right would require land space and a racetrack. :) Line up six cars, which each player drives in, and as you play cards, you move to the finish line. Your car could even get flats, and you'd have animations to fix them, or to add gas with the gas can.

I wouldn't know the *first* thing about going about construting it, of course. A combo of game scripts, car design, animations, and land ownership. But it'd be *really* kule. :D

Jay, my major drawback to putting out mp dealer led bj tables is that counting cards is a viable strategy in blackjack, and since your playing against teh house, and not other players, i could lose a ton :)

Which is why i suspect that normal blackjack tables in SL are not dealing strait, but going on a percentage of wins system.

My only problem with a lot of these games is how to let the player see their pieces/potions without letting the opponent...

I am working on it though.

Actually i htink you are both correct...i have both and I would have to check but either on the box or manual for Othello as well as mastermind i believe that is their tagline.

The other that just came to my mind is a game i palyed called Pente for up to 4 people. Always loved the colored glass playing pieces and the strategy with 4 people playing can be very competitive.

Ok, Mille Borne added to the list, just because i love it too and it should be doable, save if you have like 15 cards in yoru hands due to the size of textures when shown.

Oneironaut,

If you have a working scrabble board, i would love to see it, and its code, if you want to share, if not i understand that too.

But if yours is working, ill cancel work on mine, hate reinventing the wheel.

But i would love to see how you accomplished some issues.

Good point..although by running a 5 deck deal, cutting the bottom 1/3 out, burning a card each deal and prior to hit round, and then of course the major factor "players who don't know the game" - you can definately still come out ahead. The methods of the best players able to "count" or use count tricks per se is there, although you get 3 noobs on the table it will balance it towards the house. Not to mention table limits are common so those who have an advantage of sorts, will still not completely overcome the fact that several will take poor hits or misread the dealer's up cards. Vegas has some similar liabilities but it's still obvious to me, the house wins overall.

Anyways...here's another idea. Just like TH, you could run it in tourney mode with a set buyin and chips...which would minimize House liability. I thoroughly enjoy BJ irl, and have played some tourneys, always social and you have another aspect when you have 4 or 5 players playing the dealer, and seeing how each handles there hand.

Can you do a table top version of Second Life? Have little Avatars that you can customize on little rectangles that you can buy and little boxes with games in them... like Second Life!
