Zems is an online card game that can best be thought of as Hearthstone meets Chess. Cards you play are put on a hexagonal grid and can be moved around, making positioning a very important aspect of gameplay.

I have been working on Zems for roughly four years now, refining the concept and gameplay over time. The game has been prototyped in several different frameworks and my team is now committed to using Unity.

For ludum dare 29, we created a buggy but playable prototype using a square grid. You can play it here. We're currently working on a new build using a hexagonal grid and several game rules refinements, which should be done around the end of this month.

The team is officially incorporating a company within the next two weeks. We're also contacting a lawyer and getting the proper paperwork made so we can distribute the alpha with a TOS and/or possible contract. Stay tuned! I'll post more updates here as they come.
