Chess: Holy War

Game´s Description


It is a turn-based strategy game, as is the common chess. However, in this project, role-playing game features are added so that during the games the pieces can improve or equip themselves with objects.

It is a hotseat multiplayer game (for now) in which the games are faster, creating a strategic and frenetic atmosphere in each game.

My roles during development

  • UI/UX Designer: I designed the main menu and all the interface present during the gameplay. Also design the feedback given to the player after different inputs.
  • Game Design: Together with the other game designer, we designed the idea of the game, its rules and all the mechanics in it, and we translated it into the GDD.
  • 2D Artist: I made the artwork for the game interface, the cards of the pieces and the usable objects.
  • SFX Artist: I made the sound effects for the game and placed them in such a way as to provide correct feedback to the player.
  • Gameplay Programmer: I programmed the game tutorial
  • Tester: I tested the game in its different development versions to find minor and major bugs.
