Sphere CCG

Showcase
#1

Hey guys, just came across this site. Thought it would be a good place to showcase my virtual CCG that I am developing. I am about a one to two weeks away from a beta. I would love to have some of the forum members participate as they would be able to provide very relevant feedback. In the meantime, you are all welcome to visit the site: www.sphereccg.com

The site is very basic, as I’ve focused most of my efforts on the actual program.

Here’s a screen shot

Is there any one on today that has some spare time to help me test the Beta? It’s a two player game and I need someone else to join in. I also want to see if the client can communicate remotely with the server. I have converted the jar file to an exe so you will need a windows machine.

Just reply to this thread or send me a PM if you’re available and I will give you the download link.

The Sphere Beta is now available at: http://www.sphereccg.com/download/

I would love to have some feedback from some forum members, thanks!

I was able to login, but it did not connect after a successful login.

  1. The screens are to tall for me to see some stuff.
  2. The registration form should not require all fields.

Good try. Add a guest login even though they can’t save stuff.

#5

I press Exit, then I start the game again and try to login, but it says I am already logged in.

Yea, this.

Thanks for the input guys!

I’ve simplified the registration process (I don’t need all that info).

I will look in to the connection issues that you guys had. Could either of you get past the initial login window (to the main window that displayed “purchase cards”, “find a game”, “edit decks”, …etc)?

#7

yes, clicking “purchase cards” would lead to “connecting…” which would never happen

#8

Ah, Ok. There was a null reference to a resource that I was getting with the ClassLoader. It didn’t show up on my home machine because it was accessing the file, but came up null once packaged. Got it fixed, the updated version is available on the site.

Thanks for helping me fix that =)

#9

I’ve made a lot of changes to the site, as well as updated the look of the game (see the new screen shot above).

Since it may be hard to find a game for a while, the application allows for the ability to run two instances side-by-side. Just create two accounts and launch the program twice, and you can give the game a test.

#10

Just released a new update to Sphere to make the Deck Editor more graphically based rather than text/table based.

Thanks to those who have helped beta test - it is an immense help in allowing me to find random game bugs. However, I could still use more beta testers, if anyone is interested, please help out - I can really use the input.
