RPG Chess♟️: As it was becoming increasingly tedious to add features due to the amount of spaghetti code and quick fix solutions, I decided to go in and rewrite the ENTIRE code. I'm pleased to announce it's yielded great results and everything feels way smoother now🥹 (1/3) #gamedev

RPG Chess♟️: After a pause in development to finish my thesis, I'm back to work on the game! Started adding some new abilities, and I'm quite happy with how this one turned out🙌 #gamedev #chess

Had a lovely chat with @chilltownblues.bsky.social where we talked about RPG Chess! You can check it out here if you're interested👇 #gamedev open.substack.com/pub/chilltow...

An update on the release of RPG Chess:

RPG Chess♟: Early look at one of the overworld maps from the roguelike singleplayer-mode🌄 #gamedev

RPG Chess♟: Each piece has its own unique skill alongside attack that can be used at any time. The pawn has the skill "Gambit", which has it sacrificing itself to give some experience to the king👑 #gamedev

RPG Chess♟: One of the new abilities that's been added☄ Now featuring audio🔊 #gamedev

RPG Chess♟: Today is the deadline to submit a demo for the Steam Next Fest, and I've made the decision to withdraw from the event. While I have a playable demo ready, there is just a tad too many bugs and missing features for me to release it to the general public. That being said... (1/6) #gamedev

RPG Chess♟: Did a little level-up animation, what are we thinking?🤔 #gamedev

RPG Chess♟️: Black pawn is once again eager to show off the newest ability added to the game⚡️ #gamedev

RPG Chess♟️: Some fresh new screenshots showcasing the updated visuals of the game📸 Very satisfied with the way the development is progressing, and I can't wait for you to get to try it out when the demo drops in a month!⚔️ #gamedev

RPG Chess♟: Quite a few updates! - Added a new Main Menu and UI🖥 - Testing a 100% cel-shading look🎨 - Modeled the first opponent avatar🐭 - New ability: Inferno of Doom🔥 Would love to hear your thoughts😊

I'm back from vacation!😎 On that note I'm delighted to announce I'll be having a demo of RPG Chess ready to play for the upcoming Steam Next Fest! The event will take place between February 24 and March 3♟️ It's good to be back!💪 #gamedev

Just saw that RPG Chess has reached over 100 wishlists on Steam!🤯 Being a new solo-developer, it means so much to see that kind of support😭 I'll be taking some time off for the holidays, but I'll be back once the new year rolls around! (With a possible demo looming on the horizon👀) See ya in 2025!♟️

RPG Chess♟: New ability - This time inspired by the big blue🌊 For this one I wanted to try out a 2.5D style, and I think it turned out quite nicely! #gamedev

RPG Chess♟: Gameplay from the mountain board⛰ Featuring a brand new move from the black pawn⚔🟣 #gamedev

RPG Chess♟: Implemented a couple different functionalities, such as being able to run and switch in battle🏃‍♂️ The latter allows pieces in combat to swap out with other pieces that are in attack range, and can also be used to switch positions on the board🔄 #gamedev

RPG Chess♟️: Gameplay footage from one of the new boards🎬 #gamedev

In addition to the Steam page being released, here is the brand new official trailer for the game!♟⚔ #gamedev

Celebrating the launch of the Steam page, here are some of the fresh new screenshots from the game📸 #gamedev

RPG Chess♟️: Started making animations for the abilities, and here we can see what happens when the pawn finally gets to fight back against the queen🚀 #gamedev

RPG Chess♟️: Decided to try cel-shading for the battle screen, as I thought it could provide a neat contrast from the board section🤔 Thoughts? #gamedev

RPG Chess♟️: Exploring different level designs, and how they will affect the battle screen. For the beach level, I liked the idea of the pieces engaging in combat on a miniature island🏖️ #gamedev

RPG Chess♟️: Began work on the default attack animations for each piece, and I imagined the queen would simply do a royal bonk on her opponents #gamedev

RPG Chess♟️: Did some work on the Battle transition, and I'm pretty happy with the direction it's going! Would love to hear your thoughts😊
