just ran into one...
I downloaded the demo on my iphone and I ran into a few setups where the opponents only piece is in line with my rook. this makes the finisher kind of too good. I ran into a similar situation where edea was in line with my rook. I found this kinda strange and wanted to let you know. great game btw :)
epic game i already got it on steam and am playing it during class rn
@oriolcorsp I have a piece idea! a mix of the knight and pawn called a leeway
is there a port planned for android? (Google translate)
it'll be on android in about a week
I have a Game item Idea. a item that removes pieces except the king and unknown to the player. the pieces get moved the boss fight
Found a bug = While trying to get queen in the training grounds. a pressed queen and hit continue. in the next fight. the queen was not there
Yep, I'll be publishing for mobile (both android and ios) within the next month
i think i am gonna get it in google play,i dont like to buy games in sites
why when i saw bowman's attack pattern i thought "kingless queen"
Can i make a fanmade ouroboros king inspired game
Could you elaborate a bit more?
Describe your idea a bit, and what parts from the original game do you want to use?
custom chess pieces? and the earn chess pieces thing. I mean I definitely would give credit for the idea and I wouldn't reuse the custom pieces already present in The Ouroboros King. Just making sure you are ok with it
From a copyright standpoint, I think you can copy almost any mechanic you want. I wouldn't be against that, but even if I was I don't think I could do anything about it.
You cannot use materials from the game (sprites, music, ...) or a title that is too similar. If you'd like to do any of this, we could talk about a licensing agreement when your project is a bit more advanced.
Good luck!
thanks. anyways I will likely start making the game once I get my computer which is the end of this week
do you think this is enough to at least make a demo of the game im trying to make? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cdNY6VCbZtX08C28Je41JvZBvA77_8xQ/view?usp=shari...
man,if you want i can help you make the sprites,cus i am a pretty good sprite maker.Do you want my help?
The spiked fence is useless
yep, it is for the demo. I'll remove it
is the pawn supposed to move diagonally without capturing pieces? it feels weird
yeah, I did it this way so it isn't completely useless when there's a rock in front of it
what about the double move thing after the first move
the idea is to improve it, because otherwise it's way worse than other pieces
cn u make it easyer
there's an AI difficulty slider on the main menu settings, that should help
if this game comes to switch i will buy it no doubt, i dont use steam
even though it probably wont, one can wish
I'm actually working with a publisher to make it happen.
It should come out in the 1st quarter of 2024.
:O
btw your a really good developer because you reply to everyone which is nice, this game deserves more people to see it
tbh, I can do that because there aren't that many comments
true but still
If the full game becomes available here I will buy it.
Hi Trajan95, why is this? you don't like Steam?
No I don't like steam. I don't like thier refund policy and I am not a fan of always on DRM. So I only by games from GOG, Itch.io or Humble Bundle when the game comes from the creator's website and is DRM free.
Bug: Sometimes spawn Andromeda for no reason ;-;
i feel like multiplayer would be better
the full game has local multiplayer (you can play 2 people on the same computer)
i wish this game could be getting the other pieces like Tabitha and andromeda
the full game is just 10$ on Steam, and there's lots of new units
just fought two queens lol
yep, there's a bug in this version that allows you to fight some characters that you shouldn't be fighting
When I get all translations, I'll upload a new version with some bugfixes + the translations (this should be roughly at the same time I upload the Mac version to Steam)
is it out for mac?
I'm working on it. It'll probably be out in a month or two (I'll make an update with mac support and multiple languages)
yay (also you are very dedicated to this game, i like that)
if your king dies from the martyr exploding it doent rewind time. you just lose. please change this
certainly didn't lie about being unexpected
wtf
edea jumpscare
Yep, you definitely shouldn't be finding those pieces in there.
Did you somehow hack the game?
All I did was raise the number of enemy pieces. Maybe you forgot to make sure they can't spawn that way.
Thanks, I'll make sure to look into it
love it
uh there were 2 eadas in the boss and 1 on the secoed last battle
A few of my games that I played for me the emany king and my bowman dance A bunch of BS and my only opisan was to slatemate
Can the AI see blademaster combos coming? I feel like it can sometimes but sometimes it can't
It tries to avoid getting units killed by blade danger in general. But if you fork there's nothing it can do, and also it doesn't look too far into the future.
follow up: at difficulty 30 does AI do better? or did I just get an unlucky enemy formation
no, the AI is all the same level
The bot keeps on hanging mate and always checking, its annoying when they spam check only to hang mate in one
beat the game on max difficulty catapult is very op
this is just the demo, the full game's on Steam and is more difficult.
Its good but your opponent doesn't blunder
edit: old version comment
very good would like to see more games like this
Thanks! Glad you liked it
Incredible design for the mascot of the game, did you make that yourself?!
Nope, it was done by the Spanish illustrator Isaac Murgadella -> https://twitter.com/Ismurg
realizes that the AI can't handle blade dancer combos in its CPU and sometimes moves into some obscure combo checkmate...
well it was already my favorite piece but now it literally breaks the AI. Truly awesome
The game doesn't load for me
in one of my playthoughs i killed the king with finsher but because of the bodygurd horn the queen killed me and the game said it was a vitroy for a short time then defeat
why
Oh, I guess it's a bug. I'll try to fix it.
Incredible game <3
Try to get closer to the rooks with your king while dodging the checks and after that try to get your other pieces more involved in the game
I think sometimes Immortal and Portalmage are too powerful. and starting units are unbalanced. two Catapult of two Portalmage almost forces checkmate. maybe you should nerf them. however, the game is amazing I already play it for 7h on steam. thanks for a good game even if it's just a demo.
Hey I tried joining the discord but it said the link was invalid
sorry, you can join here: https://discord.gg/VeDmFJZrR9
I'll update the link when I have some time
Thanks man, I just joined the discord.
ouroboros king is cool (add it for mac and mobile)
Thanks!
Won't be on Mac on launch, I may add compatibility later (I blame apple for making it so hard... Linux is so much easier).
As for mobile, I may do it in the future.
How much would you pay to buy the full game on mobile?
i never really paid for mobile but 10 bucks or something idk
Is there a way for me to reset my game data?
Probably deleting cookies or something.
Maybe playing from another browser or in incognito mode would work too
ok thank you.
