Warframe Mini Game; Undead Chess

[GIMO]

I got this idea from playing as Nekros in a room with one or two other Nekros', and seeing two players activate Shadows of the Dead.  I think a little mini game to break up the action and maybe a way to kill time while waiting for alerts or updates and such would be nice to have.  So, who would be up to play a little Undead Chess

 

Two players will have a birds eye view of a faction themed chess board and will be given a choice of energy color.  This will determine the color of their "chess pieces", which will be Nekros' cloned enemy mobs.  The colors and board are decided on, and the game will begin with Nekros' Shadows of the Dead animation.

 

 - Board Themes will include Grineer, Corpus, and Derelict tilesets.  The board that is selected will determine the theme of the game pieces.

 

 - Mob Pieces may include:

 

 Pawns (Infested Chargers,  Grineer Sawmen, and Corpus Prod Crewman)

 Rooks (Infested Leapers, Grineer Shield Lancers, Corpus Railgun Moa)

 Knights (Infested Runners, Grineer Scorch, Corpus Fusion Moa)

 Bishops (Ancient Infested, Grineer Seekers, Corpus Mine Osprey)

 Queens (Phroid, Lech Krill, Raptor)

 King (Lephantis, Vor, Jackal)

 

 

-  Perhaps have each piece use in-game animations while taking another piece.

 

 - Perhaps each player will be able to choice their own Board Theme, and the board will be divided in half, allowing each player to have a say of which faction they want to use and not force someone to use one they don't want to.

 

 - Perhaps allow for other players to Spectate the game.

 

PLAYER SUGGESTED IDEAS

 

 - Make it a Dojo room/decoration.

 

 - Keep traditional rules of chess for game pieces.

This game needs mini games for sure. I would love to play a 3D cipher puzzle. You walk around in a maze and connect all the parts.

I could see this working somehow as a dojo room, a big hall with a platform at either end for the players and holographic projections of enemies in a lowered arena-chessboard area. Great idea anyway, we've got drums to mess around with so why not a giant chessboard?

[N7Arthur]

I really like this idea, brilliant. As for the rules, standard chess rules I say, no other fancy things needed. This would be awesome, two of my favorite games combined.

I would enjoy a chess mini-game very much. Might require a decent amount of work to be implemented, although DE should look further into it for sure :).

Haha, kind of quirky, but I like it! I definitely agree with the Dojo element that people have suggested though. :) Have a +1 OP.

[GIMO]
