Alrighty, I'm working on a new web project.
I'll be making what's known as a "Duel Academy". Basically, it's like an MMO guild/alliance but for TCGs.
We gather duelists, use the best of the best for wars with other Duel Academies, and train new members/players to become the best of the best.

Anyway, so far I'm in the planning stages while I work on getting the money ready for a host. (Most likely 1and1 since I'm familiar with it.)

What I have so far is the background/banner for the site and that's what I want your opinion on. (I'll probably be making minor edits to it anyway unless otherwise suggested.) Also, note that the big white space is just a placeholder for the actual content. Without further ado...

So... what do you think so far? Questions/ratings/comments all welcome.

wow that looks awesome so far, I can't wait to see the game in action or at least in-game screenies.

Baffled. Stupefied. This looks professional... Did you cheat?

Thank ya kindly, you two~

Though, I think I explained the purpose of the site wrong. (You're not the only one to get confused by what I meant.)

It's not actually a game. More of a forum/site that's dedicated to gathering the best Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic: The Gathering card players for competitive play while teaching new players how to be one of the best. It's kinda like High School for card games. We teach people while competing with other "schools" for nothing more than fun and glory. I plan on including all sorts of useful features to make it much more than just some forum as well.

Really, I'm using this kind of as a gateway to my next project I've planned which is actually a online strategy/RPG that's connected directly to a forum system. More information will be released once I actually start this project.

I have teams for both projects, but I'm doing this project before I tackle that big game project in say... a year or so.
I really need the practice coding and running a big site, plus the graphic/web design practice in general.
Also, advertising... definitely need to work on advertising. It's not an easy subject to cover.

Anyway, I hope this clears things up a bit.

(Still accepting all questions/ratings/comments/etc.)

oooh I see, sorry for that

I hope if it works out well that you still have time to come here tho o.o

No problem.
I realize I didn't explain it very well. My fault entirely. ^^;

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #6 on:** January 10, 2010, 03:46:45 pm »

it's ok

{AP} · « **Reply #7 on:** January 10, 2010, 03:50:22 pm »

Also, I'll definitely have to come back to Omnimaga.
But, I'm not sure if I can keep the Admin status here...
I don't do much actual admin work here anyway...

However, regardless of my position at Omnimaga, I'm definitely going to work on making time for it.
You guys were my start. You're like family now. I'm not just going to walk out on you. ^^

That is a nice idea and I think there is audience for that.

I never got too much in those games because of being addictive plus buying and trading cards involve money. But I do have a deck and know the basic rules and stuff. I had some good afternoons playing and were great.

One thing, I would like to do is a web browser combat cards game (by combat it means something like MTG) in PHP. But this is very on the bottom of my projects list. xD

Will you still be making games tho? (PC, Calc, ROM Hack)

If so I wouldn't mind if you still remained in the staff no matter what (providing you are still a bit active), but it is your choice

Geekboy1011 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 10, 2010, 03:57:09 pm »

one thing i think would be epic with this is make it so teh ppl online can dueal each other kinda thing(java applet and tehy make a deck with there cards ect

btw look amazing so far

Well, you'll love my second project then, Galandros. =D
(More info to come one day.)

Geekboy, I'd definitely love to work on a project like that... but my god, that'd take forever.

There's already a few programs that allow others to play online so we'll be using those and handle everything else at the site.

Thanks for the compliments though, everyone!

(DJ, I'll answer the PM in a second. I'd have replied earlier, but a friend of mine that I haven't seen in a year came over unexpectedly, talked for a bit, then left.

So this site is more like a gathering place then? A place to find people to play against, socalize and sharpen your skills using pre-existing tools to battle against other people online? I am a big fan of TCG's but I haven't played much recently. I was huge into Yu-gi-oh at one time and I used to play MTG for a while(but that was some time ago ^^).

{AP} · « **Reply #13 on:** January 10, 2010, 06:21:29 pm »

That's EXACTLY what it is, Art of Camelot! ^^

Everyone's welcome, so if you want to get back into TCGs by playing for free online with others...
Then by all means, join~ (when I get it up and running) =D

BTW, I bought the webhost and domain today. Domain isn't up yet though.

TIfanx1999 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 10, 2010, 06:24:14 pm »

That sounds pretty sweet. I have played Yu-gi-oh onlike in the past, so maybe I'll get back into playing again. MTG too, it was alot of fun, ^^ though I've never played MTG online.
