Hey, all. I've seen a handful of posts about private online games recently. I've been working on a similar product in my free time, which might be of interest to some of you. Unfortunately, it's not ready for release yet. With everyone staying in, this may have been a perfect opportunity to launch, but the game is still pretty rough.
Here's a quick hand video:
. Apologies for the rough recording quality. Note that usually a player wouldn't be able to make betting decisions for other players (obviously). I've just enabled that for my own testing here.
Some info about the game:
- Just NLHE cash right now
- Will eventually include tourneys
- Not married to the name. I originally wanted to call it Side Bet Poker, but side bets don't exist in the game yet, so I thought that may be misleading.
- Games are group-based. You can invite other members to be in your group and anyone in a group can play in that group's games.
- Runs entirely in the browser.
- Not sure on pricing yet, but would likely be freemium model. I'd guess NLHE would be free for all members, but you'd have to pay to unlock other games.
- I created this from the ground up in my free time over the last nine months or so. I made all the art assets in the game and wrote the code.
- There are probably a billion bugs.
If anyone's interested in doing some beta testing, let me know. I don't have any plans in place to make that happen, but I could use some more eyes on the game. I thought maybe I'd front some micro-stakes buy ins and winners could keep what they won.
Thanks for looking!
