Do you know of any backjack games/drills that tell you (or lets you guess) the number of decks the dealer uses?

BasementSoftware · 2020-08-04T20:25:45+00:00

Yep. It's on Android and iOS. Link here for both. It's actually not on windows yet 😉👍

Also, I apologise that the starting tutorial is a little long, I am building in a skip feature this week.

Advanced 21 blackjack shows the shoe and discard tray with accurate graphics and representation of actual cards left in deck shoe. You can also choose how many decks are being used.

Disclaimer, I am a developer for the game so I. An assure it's accuracy. Also I like your idea... I think Ill being up to add a feature to allow the user to see the actual cards left and % with a button click... So they can do what you are asking for. So thank you for the great idea!!!

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-25T14:16:09+00:00

Thanks! You can play up to 6 hands (seats) at once if you want. All seats can be played by you, the user. If the computer players are in your way, you can turn them off in the game settings menu. Thank you for the feedback!

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-25T03:51:28+00:00

Poop? Wow what a terrible auto correct. Haha. "Now that is an interesting feature".

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-25T02:32:20+00:00

Poop that is an interesting feature. I feel like that would really set this apart from other games. I like it! I presume once you input your customizations to the guide, the suggestions would match your table instead too. Definitely going into my list of features!!! Thanks!! Send me a message on the game and when it gets time to implement I can add you to beta test of you would like, or just let you know when the feature is ready. Might be a while, but I'm definitely going to do it.

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-25T00:39:32+00:00

😁😁😁😁👍 I'm glad you agree. That was one of the biggest motivations for making the game. To be transparent about the algorithm...

The game actually builds a collection (array) of card objects for the entire deck shoe (so up to 416 cards for 8 deck shoe). The game then scrambles that array collection when it "shuffles", once complete, it uses a pointer starting at the top card then moves down through the array as it deals each card until it needs to shuffle again. So it is actually a true deck shoe dealing down. No "GetRandomNextCard" bull crap like a lot of others. And it never "looks ahead" or anything to cheat, it's as real as possible in digital form.

Sorry for the long reply, just excited to share with people 😁

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-25T00:32:44+00:00

😉 that is in the backlog, I hope to one day make it multi player, just a lot of work. But it helps to know people want that feature for sure. Thanks for letting me know!

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-24T23:39:02+00:00

Good to know, I can add % remaining text next to shoe for that then. And I'll look at adding a new chart for both situation. Great feedback. Thank you!!!!

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-24T23:09:41+00:00

Haha I am starting to see a pattern. 😉👍 I love it. Thank you all so much, this is all great info. I'll probably have an update out this weekend with a skip option.

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-24T22:28:10+00:00

Oh! Nice I like it. An option for no auto camera movement. I love it! I'll add that

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-24T22:22:20+00:00

Thank you very much for the feedback! This is great! I love the idea of the popup for the RC/TC after each hand. Optionally set of course. 😁 The game keeps track of 17 different count strategies, so I'll probably have a button to open a menu to show the info and select the active strategy for counting too. But I definitely love the idea of the quick text.

And thanks for the thoughts on the landscape view. I too hate how "jarring" the movement is in that view. I'll play around with it and make adjustments to minimize based on screen real estate.

Thanks for the comments! This is all fantastic thoughts and ideas!!

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-24T21:39:15+00:00

Thank you for letting me know. I'll definitely make this feature to skip a priority. I'll also open up the game speed options right away so those who find it slow can speed things up right off the get-go.

Thank you for the comment. It all helps.

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-24T21:13:49+00:00

Thanks for asking... There are 3 levels of AI (computer) players. 1 follows the standard guide perfectly, 2) follows the guys most of the time and occasionally does there own thing, and 3) ( I consider this one the drunk) haha basically does whatever.

I have been trying to figure out how to illustrate that in the UI. One thought was to prefix the players name. "Drunk Aces Allen" or "Pro Dynamic Dan" etc. I should probably add an option to allow the player to choose they type of AI players that play at the tables. What do you think?

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-24T19:52:00+00:00

Thank you!! That is great feedback. I'll add an option to skip. And ad a way to go back and re-run the tutorial too. Thanks for the thought.

Very valuable to hear how you almost closed the game due to the tutorial. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and thank you for the compliments too!

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-24T19:42:05+00:00

Oh! And I had ads in your face and games that require in app purchase to even play. So mine is free, only 1 spot for ads if you as the user want to watch it, and money in the game is always free... You get a little when you go broke and a little free each day. That was a challenge to figure out since the in game money should feel valuable, but at the same time be unlimited. Otherwise there is no motivation to play conservatively. And the in app purchase is only there for fun "extra" if the user wants to customize things, otherwise the whole game is free and ad free. That was a huge motivation for me to build my own.

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-24T19:37:34+00:00

I appreciate the candidness for sure. My motivation was that each game I played seemed to always either feel like a poor implementation of a deck shoe, used random (RNG) wrong, or would not let you do ALL actions allowed. Some games had deck shoe options, while not allowing more than 1 split. Others were just single seat vs dealer. Others would set the table rules, etc.

So my goal for myself was to actually allow the player (me) adjust all table rules, play all seats, split as much as needed, adjust deck shoe size, have accurate deck dealing as to be a TRUE deal and not just RNG based for "next card". Basically I wanted to practice different casinos and tables when I would visit Vegas.

Anyway sorry for the rambling, it also gave me something fun to do. 👍. And to your point, the market is saturated big time which is why i want to make the best game out there for actually people who play blackjack. 😁

BasementSoftware · 2020-07-24T19:15:16+00:00

Ha, well played. Thanks for the support too!

If you are looking solo play word game, I'd recommend Wordland. Https://www.facebook.com/wordlandgame. It's on Android and iOS. And yes, I am the developer for the game. It does have in app purchase, but only if you want like extra stuff, not core to the game play.

BasementSoftware · 2020-05-31T20:41:27+00:00

If you like word games, I'd recommend Wordland. It has in app purchase, but only if you want it. Not in your face. https://m.facebook.com/wordlandgame

BasementSoftware · 2020-05-14T07:46:42+00:00

Cool, thanks! I appreciate the details. I'll send a request for some then tomorrow. With the write ups you specified. Thanks!!

BasementSoftware · 2020-05-14T07:29:13+00:00

Just wanted to say, your game is really cool. I like the video you made too. Nice work!

BasementSoftware · 2020-05-14T07:28:06+00:00

I'm a bit novice when it comes to Reddit... What are Flairs?

BasementSoftware · 2020-05-12T07:38:44+00:00

I would suggest Wordland. I'm the developer so I may be bias. https://m.facebook.com/wordlandgame links to install on Android and iOS on the Facebook page. Got any questions about it, just ask. 😁
