Ohm's Chess

[wicked epoch]

Hi all,
Introducing Ohm's Chess, a fun new combination of Chess and Dota.

Ohm's Chess is normal chess except that each non-pawn piece is also a Dota hero that has a special ability that players can use once throughout the game. Examples of heroes and their abilities include -

● LICH : Sacrifice one of his team's pawn.
● NATURE'S PROPHET : Teleport to anywhere on the board.
● PUDGE : Hook a piece to himself.
● AXE : Force the enemy to capture a piece.
and many more.

You can checkout the game here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2966635250.
It is in alpha stage right now, as I am not sure if the game is balanced.
If anyone would like to contribute to the project, please feel free to reach out to me. I am especially looking to improve the look and feel of the game and help with testing and balance.

Special thanks to everyone here in Moddota for their invaluable help.

very cool mate

don't worry about balance, just throw it out there

the more people play the more you can worry about balance later

what firetoad said. release early, iterate/update often

Once you have a stable enough version, you should eventually ping Ian Nepomniachtchi. He is allegedly a dota fan.

yeah, was thinking about it, once the world championship ends and I can get some sort of short trailer ready
