The animation's fine, there's great post production quality to the whole thing, where things have a soft analog glow and feel, gradients applied to backgrounds that would've otherwise looked flat.

Didn't like the AI voice. It detracts from the whole thing.

How have I never seen this before, lmfaooo

Thanks Takeover Tuesdays!

I love everything about this, lmfaooo

Can't wait for E1M2 gallery. Hope it gets into some native america, azteca, tarascan de michoacana art.

I guess it would be much longer game if it did the chess thing, and it didn't allow your King to put itself into check.

It's a neat spin on the game, I dig it. I love the theme and style it has to it, and it'd be cool to see more variations to this. Like, it's already unique that it's a condensed space, everyone's right up on each other in this shrunken board, but I'd like to see it go further. Like a creative spread of duplicate pieces, a creative assembly of different maps that are in weird shapes so that you have bottlenecks, chokepoints.

Or hell, even unique pieces. Like in a map this small, knights would be OP, but their absence is really noticeable. Maybe if you did really large maps, you had a variation of knights that were like winged demons or something, so instead of a knight going two out and one beside, they had an extended range like three or four out, two or three in.

Kinda like how Advanced Wars had Artillery (Knights), but they also had Rockets (this new piece).

Also sometimes the pawns get hidden behind the tall royalty pieces, so it would be beneficial to have a look around function- I know that can be kinda limiting given the retro aesthetic of this pixel art, but even if it pulled a Doom and the sprites remained camera-facing, I think it's possible for a sequel.

This is a really fucking cool atmosphere. Like an impending storm looming toward an ancient cathedral consumed by vine and pipework alike.

Touched my heart. The only time I was ever a moderator was on the General BBS, and it's gone.

I had even been curating a new thread for days to open up discussion about the military, and it's lost. When I tried to re-open the tab, all of it got autodeleted. It is a question that'll never be asked.

Hopefully this charges activity into people's review-spaces and news blogs. That traffic just finds somewhere else to be, because that's all that COULD happen. Somehow, I know this will benefit the community here. Just doesn't seem like it yet, but it will.

OHH FUCK, THIS RIPS.

Always loved this Soundwave design
ALWAYS loved OG Soundwave and his color scheme

This is a match made in Cybertronian Heaven. I love you for this.

I love little gremlin Velma 'miring her.

I'm zooming in as hard as I can to try and deconstruct how you're doing this. Like, how you're giving them that bonafide cartoony line-quality, I can't tell if it's an illusion from the gradient in the background, or if it's a blurry drop-shadow behind all the inkwork, or what the technique was when you went about coloring this, but I'd love to learn how you did it. It's really good stuff.
