Constraints

You must design and build your game within the given constraints. The constraints are deliberately chosen to get you considering deeper designs, and to help remove the blank canvas syndrome.

  • Design a sequel to Chess
    • The game board must be new or modified
    • 2 of the pieces must remain the same
    • 2 of the pieces must be modified
    • 2 of the pieces must be replaced with new pieces
    • Create 1 new special move
    • You are allowed to modify the core rules

Advice

It can seem daunting to be given creative constraints and be mandated to create a game within them. Constraints can actually increase your creative output if utilized correctly. Lean into the constraints and think of clever ways to apply the theory.

  • Find the Soul - What is the heart and soul of Chess? Use that as your core pillars
  • Playtesting - This project will benefit greatly for early and often playtests

Rules

These rules are steadfast and unbreakable. Abide by them.

  • You must submit your game before the deadline.
  • You can only use assets that you have a license to use.
  • The majority of game has to be original.
  • Respect your team members' roles.
  • Keep the scope of the game small - try to focus on a single feature.
