First "MMO" homebrew: Triple Triad PSP Online trailer

Remember that Triple Triad PSP homebrew from almost a year ago? Yeah, the game based on the Final Fantasy VIII card game was quite a smash hit back then and right now, development for the game has taken it to a whole new direction: MMO Infrastructure. Huwhat?! Did we just hear that right? If No Gravity was pushing the graphics-side envelope of homebrew development, Triple Triad PSP is definitely pushing its online aspect.

Part of the Triple Triad Team is Zero-One, who tipped us off, saying that they're finally ready to dish out some info about the whole hush-hush dev project they've been doing for about a year now. alexmae from our forums was kind enough to post a translation of the changelog (which is in Italian) for Triple Triad PSP Online:

Complete graphic Restyle; Optimized code, 60 fps
3 decks besides the classic (FFVIII) , over 330 cards + bonus
For the first time MMO Infrastructure; Massive Multiplayer Online
A virtual world based on FFVIII world; Shop, buy and sell cards
Private messages; Live chat during the game; Friends list, black list
Possibility to view users' status, track their movements
New FFVII and FFX decks (coming soon FFIX deck)
Added help during online game and rules info

Zero-One has announced that they plan to roll out Triple Triad PSP next Monday, so you better be sure to keep your eyes peeled. Upon its release, we hope to get more info of how the whole online aspect works... This whole project is posing a very interesting revolution for the homebrew community. What say we release the source code for this game, 'ey, TT Team?

i dont play any rpg, mmo or strategy.....but i dont believe a word about no one playin this online...
people who play thi stypea game dont play for the weapons, cars or for the graphics....its a card game, which a psp's AI will get a bit monotonous after a few beatins...
online play means real opponents, which is what ppl want...
nice game, source release sounds cool too ;-)

that's pretty nerd!

Re: - (Unregistered) - 2007-03-26

» no

not at all, if they realease the source we will beable to do this in a lot games and not only a simple (great) card game.

Re: Ryalla - 2007-03-27

» Source Code?

They should not release the entire source code. Depending on how the game is handled, releasing it would only increase the amount of those who will cheat by modifying it, not even mentioning those who will use CWCheat + Cheatmaster with it. I say they release only those parts of it the game depends on for the MMO aspects, not those with the actual game. Add that with the server side communication code and that's all you need for this functionality to be added in "a lot games".

Re: W. Jones (Unregistered) - 2007-03-27

» I agree....

I agree with Ryalla.

Re: Ost (Unregistered) - 2007-04-01

I think they should release all the source code. Security through obscurity is pretty lame security.

» Hmm

Guil and buddys :S

Otherwise, it doesn't look half bad. I was never really into the FF8 version, but i'll give this one a try.

Re: Ryalla - 2007-03-27

» Nope.

No, they were online games. Not Massively Multiplayer Online games.

I love it

Re: Advertising -

Re: Danman (Unregistered) - 2007-03-27

» Song

yes, WHAT WAS IT?!

Re: It's a... (Unregistered) - 2007-03-27

» It's a...

Clint Mansell song from the soundtrack "Requiem for a Dream"

Search it on limewire, and you should find it...

Re: tor (Unregistered) - 2007-03-27

» no

Clint Mansell composed it, but the song is performed by the Kronos Quartet and it's called Lux Aeterna. There's four or five different versions as it's been on a number of different soundtracks. They seem to have butchered it rather terribly on this video, however.

And how tough is it to give musicians credit at the end of a video?

I loved this game when playing FF8.

by Hoola (Unregistered) - 2007-03-26

» Cool...

Yeah this is cool and all, don't get me wrong i like MMOs but i'm not a big fan of card based games... How about you do something nice with this code? oh say i don't know...maybe give it to the team working on the CounterStrike mod? so we could all enjoy some CounterStrike2d look alike on our psps...that'd be ownage.

Other than that, when this comes out i'll prob give it a run. Seems like an ok game.

Re: same (Unregistered) - 2007-03-27

» meh

yea i thought this was goin to be some kind of action game. I might try this when it comes out. good work anyways i guess. I hope homebrew one day will come to a level in which people will make 3d shooting and action games.

» music

I hope they use the original music that plays during the card game for this one. I can't wait.

I tried the Tetramaster game that's like TT for FFXI:Online but it wasn't very popular...
However, since this is on a PSP, it but be more successful than Squeenix's version. XD

by peoplechamp (Unregistered) - 2007-03-27

» thank you all

hi guys ,
i'm peoplechamp , the TTPSP main graphic, i'm glad that you like the trailer and the HB , the release date is near ...

i inform you telling that now we won't release the sourcecode of the HB (understand us ... we have been working for 1 year) ....

Re: sakya (Unregistered) - 2007-03-27

» sources

Hi...Peroplechamp...we are releasing source...it's GPL. :)

Re: Ryalla - 2007-03-27

» GPL..

GPL doesn't require you, persay, to release the source code. It doesn't even require you to follow it.

by Halopro (Unregistered) - 2007-03-27

» Interesting

I'm looking forward to this...

by Jujuforce (Unregistered) - 2007-03-27

» I know it :)

The music of the second half of the video is from the ost of the movie "Requiem for a dream"

Enjoy ;)

» psp soldier

this is not really the first online psp game,
quite some time back there was an online game called psp Soldier.
This the say this is not the first online homebrew game.

by dadf (Unregistered) - 2007-03-27

» afdfaf

Lies. The developers say they doubt they'll ever get this fully functional

Re: zero-one (Unregistered) - 2007-03-27

» nope

The trailer is from summer 2006 , since we started in may 2006,we wrote" the first mmo",but actually is not.thats true.we'll try to improve our ideas.
Actual game have accomplished ALL features listed,and more are not listed (for example real time traslation between users,or chat during trade,or even statistics or lobby shout).
this week gives time for us to translate manual into english + clear the server from old test records ;)
