I'm sure you have better ideas of how to utilize the bonking dwarf?

Chess but craft your own formation with new pieces, what if chess was unhinged?

My own, cloud pricing is a bit steep... at least for me

Threw it onto a fairly cheap digital ocean droplet. Only big thing is can't be cheapest since needs some additional ram otherwise server goes down after like 16 hrs of running

I originally used it for my chess multiplayer, and it was pretty straightforward to setup/use/extend

I have since moved away but that's because I went to p2p and steam matching for evergreen and not running a server

Nakama is pretty easy to setup and work with 😊

They might be CC0 but everyone gets logged and will always be credited

The Tyrant, as nimble as a queen but will chain close units down preventing them from moving/capturing...

Perhaps it is a little overpowered...

#gamedev #inidegame #indie #chessvariant

Might be adding something a little OP 🫢

Yaknow sometimes stats for small creatives can be disheartening

But if you look at it as percentages it can seem a lot more hopeful,
an extra 5 Wishlist's for a game with 50...

well 5 isn't that many but it is an increase of 10% which is pretty huge!

I'm cooked if I don't go first

#indiegame #indiedev

Did I do it right, is this the build to rule all builds?

Got labelled spam again on X, right after complaining about how the algorithm works o.O

Someone said I should've add a burn effect to piece under dragon fire

Can you spot when the demo released?

Good luck for Nextfest!!

That's a fair strategy

I went through a rollercoaster of thinking my GPU was borked and would have to buy a new one. Once I got it working again losing the work didn't seem so bad then.

When chess gets it's first patch in over 2000 years...

Thanks dude!
The first 10/100 of everything is usually always a struggle tbf

I have a feeling that the ability for AI to replace entire people, we will have a resurgence of 2000's YouTube where long unedited formats will feel much more authentic and relevant...

Or maybe it's too late and the next generations are already use to hyper edited new formats

HEYOOO 100 people have wishlisted Chessemble

To me that is unbelievable, I am blessed!!
