Monster Nomster Gambling Game work
5 days ago
Hello Nomsters! Work on the game is still underway with 11 new gulpy animations finished. Several of these will be part of a new gambling minigame encounter where you will play poker dice with one of 4 special visitors to determine who is winner and who is dinner. The poker dice scripting and programing was a bit of a pain as it was very different from the current gameplay but It is done and I eventually figured it all out so hooray!
My version of poker dice may be slightly different to what you may have seen before. Main difference is a straight is a higher rank than a full house as it's harder to get a straight with dice than it is with a standard 52 card deck. The other change will be if both players have the same hand (for example 1 pair) The tie will be determined by the total sum of all a players dice and not just the 2 dice making up the pair. This was because of 2 reasons. Easier to program and it makes your whole hand more important.
Anyway I'm pretty happy with how the minigame turned out and look forward to getting everything put into the game and all the new tasty animations in too. As always, thank you so much for playing and for your interest in my silly little gulpy game.

Honestly valid reasoning for changing the traditional rules of poker. I would hope you have, somewhere, a rough rulebook and/or at least a tier list of the 'hands' so that people can reference such as they play.

Yes the list of hands in order as well as this rulechange will be in text on the right side of the screen when you play.

You could also add in Blackjack, that's a fun and simple gambling game :3
