Show HN: Ember – a strategy game where everyone moves at once

Hey y’all!

Back in 2019, inspired by my love of board games and what’s possible with digital games, I created a little strategy game built around simultaneous moves and shifting pressure across a grid. I thought there was a really interesting game hiding in there, but eventually stopped digging as life happened. Work, pandemic, kid, the usual...

Then all of this AI nonsense pulled me back in and made me want to see how far I could run with the original idea. That turned into Ember, which somehow also became my first app ever on the App Store and Google Play.

I haven’t had this much fun building something since I was a kid. Hope some of you enjoy it!
