Homebrew FFVIII game goes MMO

Triple Triad is no ordinary piece of homebrew. Like Wandria, or Hexaxis, this title is pushing the limits of what we thought homebrew development could produce. But, this game isn't a graphical showcase. Rather, it's pushing the online capabilities of the system, becoming the first ever homebrew MMO game.

The game is based on the card game from Final Fantasy VIII, with over 330 cards from Final Fantasy VII, VIII and X (with XI to come later). Not only will you be able to buy, sell and trade your cards with others, you'll also be able to send each other private messages, chat during the game, and more. You'll be able to have a friends list, a blacklist, and you'll also be able to track the movements of other players. Quite ambitious, is it not?

Hopefully, this revolutionary project will be able to deliver on all its promises. There won't be too long to wait, though: the game is planned to release this Monday.

Is this in development or has it been released and I just missed it? I know about the early releases, but was one like this ever made?

No freakin way, Triple Triad has it's own game? YES!!! That was one of my favorite parts of FFVIII. Are the cards gonna be the same with the numbers and whatnot? I wouldn't mind paying $40 for this thing if it was a UMD.

Wow! Won't it be hard to make a game like this one?

No, unless you have a great understanding on how to.
