After a bit over a year of development and whatever marketing efforts we could afford on our small budget, my game reached around 7000 wishlists. The demo releases tomorrow January 16th at 4:30PM EST. While I've worked in the gaming industry for a long time now, this is the first time I release anything as an indie.

It is a PvP turn-based tactics that mixes the complexity of chess with the champion identity of League of Legends. It would be cool to see people from jsp join the community and play!

I've got a few decently sized chess and TFT streamers that will be playing it over the coming weekend and next week.

So far people seem to get pretty hooked on the gameplay so it's a good sign. I'm nervous but excited for tomorrow.

Wow. Gl with this venture!

Congrats and shit

Good luck!

That's awesome good luck with launch

... and I'm out.

The fight was over before it even began.

And still the champion
🏆

Not too long after the demo launch, we're also going to put in a level maker that we'll keep building until you can do mini D&D campaigns with the champions.

There's also playing against AI.

But if you don't like things like chess, then it is what it is. The main gameplay is like chess.

Gl bro!
