Hey everyone, I don't wanna to self promotion myself i'm not even going to mention my irch.io page. I really need help knowing where to share my work, most of what I do is free, so it's not about money. Where should I even mention it?

My game started as a card game, but at some point I thought what if I added chess to it? That one idea kind of took over. The turn-based strategy mode became the main thing, and now pieces have abilities and stats that shift how the game plays, while still keeping the chess fundamentals underneath.

I'm not entirely sure how to classify it anymore. It's local multiplayer focused, partly because teaching a person is just easier than training a strategic AI for something this layered the state space goes way beyond regular chess, with damage, status effects, whether a piece dies before a check resolves, and so on. The AI already calculates all legal moves and enforces the rules, so PvP is solid — players don't need to keep everything in their head. The weak point is just that the AI opponent itself doesn't play very well yet.

I still enjoy playing it, even in its current rough state. But it hasn't really found an audience yet, and I wonder if chess-minded people might actually be the right fit the logical, positional thinking carries over, the ability layer is just new information on top.

Honestly curious what this community thinks: does this sound like something with legs, or does it just sound fun to me because I built it?
