It’s not about neutralizing turns, it’s about forcing them to reposition on a grid. If you move a piece down 1 with your siren, they need two moves to get to a position they wanted to before instead of one if it’s a queen or a rook because chess is based on a grid. If you pull a rook diagonally, it cannot just return to its original tile without a minimum of 2 moves, which can even be blocked so they might even need more moves than that. If you pull a bishop 1 down, you just made them have two bishops on one color. You can even pull pieces to expose checks and even checkmates. If you actually took some time to think about it thoroughly instead of just being mad, you would realize this changes the game quite drastically. And I have the procreate files with all the different layers that took me months to make, so I don’t know what you are talking about for the artwork. I’m not going to argue with someone who’s so angry at the world, I hope life gets better for you man

What about the post looks AI generated? Half of the post is from another post I made before and the other half talks about the pieces and a couple of links. Have you tried playing the game? There’s a free demo and you’ll realize that I thought through all of the pieces and that the game is actually quite balanced. Obviously there will be things that I will oversee but I even thought about how pieces can be used together like catapults with the bomb to create new checks/checkmates. Pulling opponents pieces with the siren into the bomb range so they are forced to move it next turn otherwise you can attack the bomb and make them lose their piece. There’s so much to it and it’s fine if it’s not for you, but at the end of the day I’m just trying to make a fun chess variant

leblanc-james

Oh my, what did the world do to you to make you so angry?

leblanc-james

I thought about doing that at first but it seemed too overpowered so currently it doesn't, but depending on how often it is played I may change it to a stationary capture.

leblanc-james

Nope! Just a new chess game that hasn’t been marketed very much

leblanc-james

Thanks!

leblanc-james

Thanks! Yeah :( it makes me so sad that I didn’t catch the bug earlier

leblanc-james

Thanks!

leblanc-james

Thank you!!!

leblanc-james

I've been mostly just been posting on reddit on updates about my game, I think the steam board game fest is playing a huge role in the promotion

leblanc-james

Thank you!!

leblanc-james

Thanks!! And yes balancing is definitely going to be tricky
