(Texas Hold'em Strip Poker)

Strip Poker is by far the most popular on EAdultGames.com

We've had a lot of requests from fans suggesting that we add in a strip poker game that allows players to play against the model in a bidding style where players and/or model can raise/call bets. Currently our classic strip poker games allows fans to only play poker in a video poker style.

We would like to create a Strip Texas Holdem game where fans can play at a Table against 3-4 other girls. Each girl will have different playstyle/character/personality. For instance, at your table, you might be playing with Jana Cova, Jesse Capelli, and Martina Warren.

You will be able to see icons with the head/face shot of our models representing them at the table. Clicking on the icons you will get a full view of the model on the right hand side of the screen. (Similar to our Strip Casino). In the play area (game table), you will then be able to play Texas Holdem. The game play will simulate multiple models playing with you. Your goal is to beat all of the models by winning all of their money and get them naked. (Each time the model loses their money they will turn in clothes to get more money to keep playing.)

Each model will have their own play style in which you will discover through the course ofplaying. For instance, Jana Cova might be more aggressive in betting. She might bully you with her winnings by going all in more frequently. Martina Warren might be more conservative and fold more to be on the cautious side. Jesse Capelli might not always raise the bet, but she'll call them just to stay in the game without taking too much risk.

What do you guys thing of this game?

*I* think its a cool idea.

It's a very interesting concept, but sounds as if it might take a really long time to play. It already takes a good deal of time just beating one model in Strip Poker, and though the mechanics of this new strip game differ somewhat, attempting to beat three models could be a lengthy process. I recall that there's been one or two people who complained about the amount of time it can take to win a game of Strip Blackjack, which is certainly much faster to play than Strip Poker. I also know for myself that long and involving games like Strip Breakout, Crack Down, and Xtreme Solitaire have quickly lost my interest because of the numerous hours they take to play in an effort to beat them. I don't really mean to be negative, but I just thought it would be beneficial to give you an objective opinion.

Okay, I see what you are aiming for with this now, and better understand the concept. It will definitely be nice having a choice of which model to try and strip.

Can't wait for this to be introduced, exactly the sort of development I was hoping for. Laughing

We are actively working on producing this game still.

We hired a programmer and a photoshop guy recently to help us increase our game development process.

We're churning out new games as you can tell from our latest news updates in the past month!

We're excited to get back on track again...

We'll be shooting tons of new models soon and pumping out new strip games in the coming months!

Texas Holdem is no doubt the most popular thing today. And we're getting alot of emails and requests for a Strip Texas Holdem strip poker game.

I think this game will really be popular on our EAdultGames site.

Since we will be doing various versions of this game, you'll see the game in different layouts and formats...

One version will have about 4 girls that will be sitting at the table. Possibly 5. So there will be 5-6 players total. This will include you. The limitation of how many players will fit on the screen is because we have a limited view area on the screen to display the game area and the model's full image. In this version of the game, the other players (models) will be represented by an headshot icon. And they'll have cards and $amounts next to them.

The game will play Texas Holdem like you've seen before elsewhere. Each player taking turns betting, raising, folding, calling, etc. You can click on the model's icon and you'll see her on the right hand side in the model view area. So you can click on different model's headshot icon, and it will focus on that model showing you what she's wearing and what she looks like in full view.

A special version of the game, we're going to try to have models laying down similar to our current classic Strip Poker. And try to fit in 3 models. This will mean you are playing against 3 other players. Since there is no need for a side panel for viewing the models, this will give us slightly more room to show all the girls. Hopefully this will work out fine. We will be reshooting or go over our old classic Strip Poker photoshoots, and find poses that will fit this game. We'll make sure there are tons of new poses and images that you have never seen before be used in this version. Currently, our classc Strip Poker has about 3-4 images used when tipping the model. Nude stage has about 6 images. We'll increase the images you'll get to see for Strip Texas Holdem. Our special editions will probably be the most popular since it's very custom tailored. There will be voices for this special version Strip Texas Holdem.

Another special version we plan to customize will have some video. We'll be using some special effects to make the girls actually move and feel lively, similar to how we did our Virtual Project. Just image the Virtual Project be mixed in with Strip Texas Holdem. The girls will talk to you, move around, holding cards, and strip of course. So we'll get to see them actually taking the clothes off.

Here are more details on how the Stripping part of the game will work:
The game has a fixed buy-in. So you and the model will each have a buy in of say $1000. (this number is subjected to change based on play test).
Whenever a model loses all her money, she will remove a piece of clothes, and trade it in for another $1000 buy-in so she can continue the game. Once her clothes is off, its off, so even if she wins back another $1000, thats it for her. She will however use her big pot of money as leverage for an all-in. On her last piece of clothes, she'll trade it in for $1000 and play full naked until she has $0.

Now along the way, you can tip these girls, to see what else they have to offer you. Show some tits and ass or whatever (different poses), for a small tip amount. She'll use her tip as part of her money pool. So becareful tipping unless you're raking it in.

Since there are multiple girls you're playing with, you own money pool should be pretty fat and loaded, you'll be able to afford tipping them and still win all the money back. Smile

If the girl is naked and you tip her, she might use that money to play and try to win all her money back. Wink

If you lose your buy-in, then the game is over, and you restart. Don't get discourage if you lose. Hopefully, before you lose all your money, you will have stripped at least one girl. Twisted Evil

If you're just there to see girls get naked, you might be able to play safe and bet small, and fold, and let one of the girls beat the other girls naked. Then of course, you'll be up against a bully that will have more money then you.

The game will offer various dynamics and strategies for different goals, completely winning, or just seeing a few girls naked.

Now we'll have different personality and play style for the girls, so watch out. You might get an airhead blonde, or a card shark hottie!

That's all for now for our updates...

We'll provide you will more updates later on. Feel free to post your comments, replies, and suggestions here.

Let us know what you think of our Strip Texas Holdem game development.

i say do it. what do you have to lose and if they do not like then do not play.

We recently finished coding a few personality routines for the computer opponent.

4 play types so far... with variations to them...

The aggressive computer is really good. Wins alot too.

We're testing and tweaking the AIs this week.

Also- we're working on designing the table layout and animation this week as well. Hopefully, we have a more presentable game (beta) by next week.

When will the game be ready to play? the sooner the better.

Forum Admin Joined: 18 Oct 2003 Posts: 3670

This weekend or middle of next week.

We have to do card animations still... alot of tweaking.

It might be 'playable' 'presentable' next week. With some models that we select as the opponents... just for now during the testing phase. (and let you guys test it.)

We still have to be the model selector menu interface to it. And go through each model and determine the 'personality' type for each of them.

And make sure you can't have 2 opponent that is the same model (wearing different outfits).

Lots of stuff still to do to polish the game.

Not to bad for the first go. When do you think it will be up to 1.58 beta? but all and all it is good.

Version 0.61 (beta) is up!

Tipping is now in the game! You can only tip in between the hands...

(The reason for this is to prevent exploiting of tipping girls when you know you have a good hand. A player who knows he is going to win with say a full house or royal flush, tips the girls, then All IN tricking them to spend their money, and thus winning it back, thus gets away with tipping the girl for free. Also- I believe it is illegal to 'add money' into the session during a game in progress.)

The text for Raise when posting blinds is properly displayed now.

When checking is free (not calling a bet), the fold button is now grayed out, so you can't fold.

We made alot of bug fixes with the graphics, button click responses, slider bar for the raising). Animation fixes, for posting blinds. Additional sound effects.

There are some other known issues/bugs, that we will try to fix later on. Feel free to report them, anyways if you see anything wrong.

Overall, this new version works pretty well.

It's really fun and addictive to play! The girls' AI (Artificial Intelligence) routines are pretty good providing an interesting challenge.

Forum Admin Joined: 18 Oct 2003 Posts: 3670

Currently, the game ends when you don't have enough to make the big blind.

Which is actually a bug....

You should be able to do an "All In" with all your money, even though you don't meet the blind requirements. A side pot gets created for this situation.

We'll get that fixed later...

Also- just an FYI- you won't be able to tip away your money if it causes you to not meet the blinds. Since tipping occurs after a game, we just want to make sure you get a chance to play the next game, instead of blowing your money away accidently on tipping.

FYI- the blind changes based on the size of the stake.

the Holdem game is great so far but why do the models get different sums for the same piece of clothing to buy back in. When they get over $400 for just a top it makes it awfully hard to win anything. I think if it was less you might have a chance of at least getting close to winning. As it is I have yet to get anybody naked but I'll damn sure keep trying

Forum Admin Joined: 18 Oct 2003 Posts: 3670

Currently, it's programmed to allow models to strip their clothes and get a buy back in for "half" of the highest person's value.

We are still testing this for balance....

We may change this to be 1/3 of the highest person.
OR
We may change this to be fixed values, (first piece of clothes is worth 100 buy-in, and raising each piece value by 100 from the previous.)

The reason for why we currently have it as (half the highest) is to make sure there is still some 'competition' for the person with the highest amount. Otherwise the person with the highest amount might just bully "all in".

Again, we're still testing the value of each piece they strip.

Previously we had a 'fixed' value which seems to easy... And more towards the later stage the last few pieces of clothes are just too small...

Again, we're going to be tweaking this later... We need a good solid week of play testing to see how long it takes for people to win.

We're keeping track of how long people take to play per game session. Winning/Losing.

I had a situation where Bella Starr had 300+ chips, and then Jana Cova did a buy in for 150+ chips and I was sitting at 14 chips.

Bah!

So yeah-- it became a bit too challenging to get back into the game.

It is possible to still get at least one girl naked, buy just playing cautious. Folding alot and All in only when you got it for sure.

The game balancing at this point really is the 'cost of stripping'.

"How much each piece of clothes is worth for buying back in..."

Currently in version 0.61, we have girls stripping and buying in for half the value of the person with the highest number of chips.

Some suggestions and ideas was to fix the number per piece of clothes, incrementing at a fixed value. For instance, 100 for first piece of clothed strip. 200 for second piece, 300 for third piece, etc... (incrementing by 100).

This could work.

But another idea I'm thinking is take the total number of chips in the game pool. By adding up everybody's chip and then divide by the number of players. For instance, when we first start out.... There are 6 players total (each person has 100 chips). If one person loses all their chips, this means 100 is distributed to the other 5 players... Thus the total size pool is 600. Divide this by 6, which will give you an avg. of what the buy in should be.
So the losing model, would strip and buy in for 100.

Next time somebody strips (loses all their chips) and wants to buy back in... The total chips in play is now at 700. Divide this by 6 gives you 116 (rounded down).

Just a working idea.... Gonna test this later on internally.

The only other idea I have is to have a game option at the start...
"Easy Mode"... (for fixed buy-ins)
"Hard Mode"... (for variable buy-ins based on the highest player)

Version 0.62 is now up... We're going to test to see if this is too easy or just right....

Each stripping is going to be worth 100 chips buy in. (assuming that it meets the requirement for buy in for a No Limit game.)

If the 100 chips is not enough for the case where the big blind has changed, then the buy in will be adjusted to 10*bigblind.

No Limit rules states that the buy-in can't be less then 10 times the big blind amount. And no more then 100 times the big blind amount.

This should make the game alot easier now to beat.

This might be too easy, but that's what we're going to test....

From here... If it is too easy, then we might throw in a rule that gives the girl "half (maybe 1/3) the value of the highest player" ONLY on their last piece of clothes. This will be her last ditched attempt to win.

Seems like setting the chips at 100 per piece of clothes is going to be balanced. Not a problem anymore with that.

We're now tracking down crash bugs related to stripping the girls completely butt naked. If you guys experience problems where the girl is completely naked with a balance of 0 (or even a balance less then the value of the big blind), please take a screen shot and send us the bug report!

Thanks!

There is a known bug related to when one of the model is "butt naked" (no more strip stages left. no more buy in.)

And a 1 on 1 show down scenario with another model.

The game crashes and reports a message saying error in shockwave playback, please report to the author.

We're looking into this bug.

Just wanted to say what a great job on the strip texas holdem game you've done in a short time. A long time ago when I asked you if it was possible you said you would try and now you've done it. You're the only site that I know of that has. The $100 buy back for clothes works great and the game strategy does also, don't know when thet're bluffing or have a good hand so it's a real nice challenge.

I realize this is just the test version so when you get the time to concentrate on the end of the game I hope you can make it to where you can get the girls butt naked and out of the game instead of constantly buying back in but also still be able to tip them. As it is you can't win. Can't wait for the final product and thanks for making it work

Thanks Cyborg for your support!

Hopefully we will have a new version by the end of this week, with some bug fixes!

Once, we get those bugs fixed, we'll add in the model selection lobby. And possibly an avatar selection box as well.
