I’ve been hard at work on the latest update, squashing all the bugs I can and refining the flow in preparation for final release. We are now stable and giving it a nice polish. Here is a short list of the general changes in this update:
- Multiplayer now operating smoothly with 2 to 4 players, ready to jump into some online matches!
- The lobby has been cleaned up and easier to use
- The waiting room now lets each player customize their sets and colors
- The master user that creates a new game can change the order of the players
- Added 8 chess sets to play with and 12 color textures to swap
- Enhanced the Waiting Room chat and in-game chat with visual enhancements and better scrolling
- Captured pieces now jump to a random area on the right side and back of the players table area
- Fixed issues with the game timer and move time
- The scale of the board has been brought down in preparation for the Hololens and Project Tango release
- Cleaned up with GUI to be better at scaling to different screen sizes
- Added more languages supported for a total of 52 translations
- Now handles decision vote process when a player leaves prematurely in multi-player game
- Many other minor fixes to handle strange scenarios
Stay tuned for more updates to come. We’re excited to bring this magical game to the public, and can use your help to reach that goal. If you want to play a multi-player game against me, let me know and we’ll schedule a time to play.
