I have had a good idea that is really random! My idea is to make a game that is a combination of a real time strategy game and a turn-based game, where you play as classic chess pieces with soccer jerseys. The basic idea for a turn is you move one piece l, and then it slides over too the spot you chose, and then a little bit after the piece finishes moving time slows down a bit (but doesn’t stop) so the other player (or bot, potentially) has a little more time to decide what to do. (Time goes full speed again when a piece is moved) The positions of the pieces would be a little different, the king would probably be a goalie, the queen might be striker, the rooks might be midfield, and the other pieces would go somewhere (undecided yet) Oh yeah, and I don’t think pieces will be able to be captured unless someone comes up with something for it that works. So, what do people think about this idea? I would appreciate new ideas for mechanics, positions, and just stuff in general. ---

Oh yeah, and I kinda forgot to mention there would be a soccer ball that is hit around by the pieces.
