Patreon, Discord, and Quality-of-Life

Hello fellow kings and kingettes!

We're still hard at work building our game. It's been a challenge this month with most of the team working at our day jobs while also addressing all of the feedback from MAGWest 2023. (Thank you to those who attended!)

Now, with a new tier and a new showcase planned (Sac Gamers Expo 2023), we're ready to start work on some of our bigger expansions to put the RPG into our Chess RPG!

First of all, our plug...

Patreon and Discord!

We're happy to announce that we've added a rewards tier to our Patreon! So far, the tier includes access to new builds, and access to our developer's Discord. We currently have plans to open the Discord to the public, but we're not quite ready for the bandwidth. If you're interested and would like to support for early access to Discord, and the newest build(s), please consider joining our $5 tier here:

We actually posted our first updated version after MAGWest 2023 for download here (v0.0.1.02):

This leads to our next point:

Quality-of-Life!

We fielded a lot of feedback from players at the latest event. It was all very good feedback, and we've already started working some of it into our game. These aren't yet special new features outside a normal Chess game, but they are important, so we thought we'd share them. These are currently only available in the build on Patreon, but will be part of the main game in the future.

Interactable 2D Board!

Our 2D board is now clickable!

Pawn Promotion!

Basic Chess functionality?! Sure, why not? We're using our ability menu to handle this for now. We haven't decided if that's how we should utilize it in the future. Let us know what you think!

Camera Controls and Rank and File numbers

Oooh! Angle-y!

Well, that's all for now...

How was your month?
