BlackThornProd Game Jam 2021

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game trusts both players to play according to standard chess logic. There is no underlying logic to protect both players. So please be careful when moving a piece!

Chess is more

Each death of a piece allows you to upgrade another unit.

Local Multiplayer: Pass the mouse after your turn and hit the "End Turn" button

William Porter - Art, A small amount of programming (for earlier Godot version)

Daniel Nguyen - All Unreal Programming

Left-Click moves units, Right-Click upgrades.

Movement

Pawns can move only one square forward

Rookes can move the entire board only in vertical or horizontal lines

Queens can move the entire board in any direction but only in a straight line

The King can move one square in any direction

If your King(s) die, it's game over.

Upgrades

If a unit dies the player gains one point to spend on other units. Pressing Right-Click on the desired Unit allows the player to purchase the upgrade required. Players can also purchase an extra King to help protect them against a potential game over scenario.

1 point = Rooke

2 points = Queen

3 points = King

Thank you!

I hope you enjoy! It was a tough project for me initially but Daniel helped tremendously with the coding logic and converting to unreal! Maybe in the future I'll be trying again in Godot to properly cement my understanding of that engine!
