Board is up to date! (Part 8)

Kings and Kingettes! We’re alive!

With a new demo!

This build took a lot of work. As you may have seen from all the previous posts we’ve done, we have a lot in progress, and a lot to share.

A majority of the changes from December to today were focused heavily on player experience. We’ve dropped the “End Turn” button, and we’ve come up with an alternative approach to making unique abilities and choices available to the player.

We also added two new upgrades: Bishop’s Life Grip and Pawn’s Noble Step !

These upgraded abilities will show up randomly in the single-player tournament.

We also started showing some other elements of how our pieces become more than just pieces, by introducing in-game dialogues. These dialogues are short, situational, sometimes snarky pieces of conversation.

This demo is available NOW for Web and for Windows.

Give it a try!
