This is highly parasitic: someone does a Show HN about their hobby project, and then you come and snap on to it like a leech with your to-be-paid-for completely unrelated game demo.

I find this kind of behaviour disgusting. Why don't you do a Show HN on your own?

"Chess-related roguelike" is a an very crowded genre for unclear reasons and it's difficult to stick out.

So far I've played Shotgun Queen and Pawnbarian. There's also Ouroboros King, Demoncrawl, The Rookery, Passant, Chess Survivors, Gambonanza, Mind over Monarchy, and many more.

I've not played as many (games in said genre) as you, jjmarr. And so, if you don't mind indulging me... I've an idea for a game that perhaps you'd be able to tell me if it's something you've already seen in play.

The mechanic is fairly simple for this board game (not computer/video): A standard chessboard and chess pieces are used, with a custom deck of cards for each player. Before moving any pieces, a card is revealed that effects enhancements/restrictions/story/etc. The selling point would be banking on the creativity of the deck, of course. If there is anybody that could run with this idea (if in fact original, which I doubt) before I do, I'd love to hear about it! ♟

> completely unrelated

They are both chess-inspired and roguelike.

IMHO this is a completely normal "hey I've been doing something similar" response. Why are you so aggressive about it?
