Unity PC version

title suggests it all

Is anyone else thinking of mucking about with an online, 2 players in a fight (but otherwise MMORPG) version of TFT?

would be quite a bit of time to do, but hardly compared to what passes for truly ambitious Unity projects

Seeing that Battletech has a Unity game I could see it.

I've played a few online games already through tabletop simulator, but that isn't exactly automated.

tabletop simulator? never seen it

is that like a pic of the table game and you just play it with online dice?

It's sort of a physics simulator that happens to be a virtual table with dice tokens and whatnot on it. It is on steam, pretty good for online play.

I've been gradually working on such a thing as part of developing my hex map libraries for various game projects... not just for TFT, though that's a natural starting place for me.

I'm currently using it to track map positions for the PBP TFT game I've running on the TFT Discord server.

Please don't upload digital versions of our games unless you have a license from us to do so.

Naturally, I wouldn't.

The above link is just to a screenshot of me using a program I wrote and am running on my own computer to track map & counter positions for playing TFT and show players the map.

hey Id never dare unless some SJG guy had given a go ahead .. wouldnt do to go against the wishes of the copyright owners, after all, they could just take your game off you anyhoo .. so youd have built SJG a free computer game they wouldnt hafta credit you for! lol

no any experiments I do will be private until I theoretically had a version worth pitching at SJG themselves .. just wondering if anyone else had wondered the same thing

Im a big Fallout fan and am well aware that it started as a GURPS game before good ol feature creep mutated it out of all recognisable shape .. but when I play F1+2 I can still feel their ancient TFT genes (I think of GURPS as a descendant of TFT), and morn what worked out differently in some other timeline .. naturally I experiment and wonder
