# Despot Development - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `despotdevelopment.com` ## Description Despot Development Pty Ltd is a game development company and community of gamers behind TEWT, its first digital strategy game. The company describes TEWT, short for Tactical Exercises Without Troops, as a modern take on the strategic foundations of chess, shaped around the realities of contemporary warfare. Originally conceived as a board game, TEWT was developed digitally first, with the website citing production costs and the COVID era as reasons for that decision. The game combines tactical decision-making with hidden and fake units, allowing players to conceal information and choose from a limited pool of units before and during play. Unlike traditional chess, it supports two to six players, including free-for-all, team and solo formats. Timed turns, generally capped at 30 seconds, are designed to keep matches fast-paced, while custom lobbies offer options to adjust or disable the timer. Despot Development presents TEWT as a skill-based game in which players begin with equal opportunities and outcomes depend on their decisions. ## Industries - 🎮 Games - 🖥 Computers Electronics and Technology - 🖥 Video Game Design and Development _(under Computers Electronics and Technology)_ ## Links - [instagram](https://instagram.com/despot_development) - [twitter](https://twitter.com/DespotDev) - [youtube](https://youtube.com/channel/UCSv7YgrHtwu3UTCtDChxuNg) ## Logos & icons - icon _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idROl-4ji3/w/400/h/400/theme/dark/icon.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1792888817007) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | East Bay | #3d3d83 | accent | | Crown of Thorns | #842029 | dark | | Double Spanish White | #e6dbb9 | light | ## Fonts - var(--bs-font-sans-serif) — asset _(custom)_ - var(--bs-font-sans-serif) — asset _(custom)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
