ChessLike - Game Art

I met [Tyr|x] during the Secret Santa Jam 2021. His idea was to develop a game like chess - but with a twist. The players can choose between the well-known classic board and chess boards with distorded and skewed tiles. The later boards allow players to move their pieces in certain zones in unusual ways.

I liked his idea and supported him with all the game assets he needed to implement this fantastic game.

Interactive UI elements for a customized mouse cursor, volume slider and buttons. All elements were designed for two states - default (no interaction) and active (for a destinctive visual feedback in moments when users interact with these elements).

The chess pieces follow the overall design aesthetics - an acient, stone-like texture combined with a futuristic, tech-like glow.

The boards and their tiles come in many variaties - giving room for unusual rules of how to move the pieces on the board. The arrangement of the tiles and pieces were done programmatically by [Tyr|x].
