Dude, I lost my pants is a Texas Hold 'em poker game mixed with a queer interactive fiction game in which you play Rob: a hero trying to help his friend Jade recover his pants from a big night out.

This latest version completely overhauls the poker engine adding a tutorial, animation, background colours and a dedicated poker mode. The game is ideally suited to those completely new to or just starting out with Texas Hold 'em - especially if they are willing to play the comprehensive tutorial first.

My first queer piece, it includes implied adult themes and underwear but otherwise no graphic content. The game features full gamepad and keyboard support and may also work on some mobiles.

Some notes:

  • Corporate-friendly mode properly clothes the characters and changes the game's story and text.
  • Registered users can select "Just Cards" and "Self-play mode" to watch a never-ending poker match in idle mode. You can also place a wager on your favourite AI.
  • Alternatively registered users can take on the six AIs themselves. To be honest it's a lot more fun than playing just three.
  • You get a good glimpse of what you're paying for in the final part of the tutorial. As noted, the AIs are full-strength. That said, most registered users will probably enjoy the faster pace, fewer text-reads and fewer cheating options of the registered game.

Special thanks to:

  • Pierce Murphy for the opening song Metaverse
  • Holizna for the gameplay song Whatever
  • @DejiNyucu for the character art
  • Cosmo Myzrail Gorynych for the Ct.js game engine
  • Ivan Popelyshev might have written the projection card example upon which the graphics are based (his work has sort of disappeared from the Internet 😮)

Additional content by Michael Bell, j4p4n, brgfx / Freepik, Alucard, Singger, Duisterwho@BenChinapen and @goodnightkev. The game mutes its music after roughly 30 seconds of inactivity.

This version introduces an MCCFR AI. The AI tests better than all others but, I must admit, is not yet at a stage where you can immediately tell which one is MCCFR AI.

The registered version is a web-game only and should be appearing in the Queer Games Bundle 2024! Play the tutorial for a good hint of what to expect.

hahaha.. nice and fun - pity it's so short^^

Huh, well, that's certainly an interesting true story to be based on!
I can... sort of consider this a sort of strip poker, I suppose. Though I guess a one-sided, all-in affair.
While the content isn't to my general tastes, I will say the writing seems fine, and the art also looks nice. All in all, not a bad little game.
Is there much else planned for this, or probably about the same, just a 'dedicated' poker mode?

Yeah, I think there's a gap in the poker mode. I find this Texas Hold'em (Microsoft Studios/TikGames) to be much more compelling. I think part of it is nailing the in-poker-game audio, visual transitions, labelling and AI difficulty. I bought the sprites - so will probably use them again but I doubt we'll see this game specifically move beyond poker. Sounds like this might have been a front-page/search/new games find rather than through the Yaoi Game Jam?

I personally stumbled on it by just doing a check of the ol' 'Card Games' tag, and noticing the name.
But I see, I see.
