Check Mates (built in Unreal Engine) was originally intended as a strategy roguelike, but due to the time constraints of the game jam, we had to pivot once we had most of the mechanics ready. We ended up changing the game into a wave-based game, where you try to collect the most points via properly positioning your characters and coordinating with your teammate. You have to move your characters as chess pieces would move, with the bishop/rook/knight pieces costing more energy than the king/pawn (which are free once per turn). We decided to remove the queen piece, since the combination of being able to move as a bishop or rook covers all of the queen’s possible squares. In the future, my team and I may revisit the project to execute on the original vision.
