Fun little introduction to Shogi, and overall well polished.
I'm not a totally new player, but also not very strong. Didn't have much trouble completing the game, as the AI has some odd quirks - it's really weak to an early rook attack on file 6, and will just throw all it's pieces into the hole on c6 one after another.
I felt like the AI would have been stronger than me if it didn't do odd things in response to attacks sometimes.
Fun strange variant pieces - did you invent them?
Hmmm should check AI, shouldn't make such errors with the advanced characters (though early characters are very weak). Indeed the variant pieces were invented, to add some variation to the story :)
Amigo que gran juego muchas gracias!
¡Gracias, me alegro que te gustara!
May livestreamers have permission to do a "let's play" of your game? Also, FYI Lishogi (beta) has a free API although I don't know whether its use is restricted to slow games only.
Of course I'd be happy if anyone does a "let's play!" of it. And thank you for the info, I'll take a look.
