Hello Everyone!

Adding in a quick patch to fix an infinity jump bug that was found. I also fixed a visual bug that was part of this glitch as well.

Enjoy playing the game!

Hi Everyone,

Another small update to help me behind the scenes. I added some extra logging in case bugs pop up. The new logs will help me address any issues quicker.

I hope you are all enjoying the game!

Hi Everyone!

Small update today. There was an error in the movement tutorial where the custom colored tiles were not getting initialized and would not update in the gameplay settings.
This has now been fixed.

Thanks for playing the game!

Hi Everyone!

Two bug fixes are going in with this update

• One of the boards in the Casual mode for the Sand Kingdom has been updated so the position is no longer starting with the king in check and causing Stockfish to crash.
  
• When the promotion screen is up, you can no longer move other pieces within the level. This was causing a duplication error within Stockfish but is now fixed.

Thank you to everyone who has been reporting these issues as they come up. And thank you all for your patience as I work through them!

Happy playing!
- Doug

Hello Everyone!

This is the last content update before the games release! In this update you can expect the following:

Updates

• You can now change the color of your pawn to be any color including black by going to the Customize menu option and moving the slider to the left of the pawn.
  
  
• You can now adjust the colors of your boards by going to the Gameplay menu option and moving the sliders for each board. These color changes also allow you to change
  
  1. the color of the 'available moves' highlighting,
     
  2. the 'AI move' highlighting
     
  3. the 'bad move' highlighting
• Changes to menu UI sounds
  
• Changes to player jump sounds

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where 5 fold repetition causes game to be unplayable.
  
• Fixed a bug where restarting while in the middle of a super jump would spawn you under the level
  
• Fixed a bug where restarting with a super jump active cause the blue trail to follow the player

Hello Everyone!

In today's update I am adding checkpoints to the Adventure Mode!

What does this mean?

If you enable checkpoints, once you get to a new section, a button will appear at the start of the level allowing you to get back to that section whenever you want. Passing through a section checkpoint will take your fastest time for that section and save it. Once you hit the button you will be spawned to that section and the time will start playing when ready.

You will also notice a new number displayed in the bottom left of your screen. This is for keeping track of how many moves you have made in your current run. This move count will be used for certain achievements when the main game releases!

Other Fixes:

• Fixed a small bug with the locks on the boards displaying when in the incorrect section.
  
• Added a prevention for Stockfish bugs where each Stockfish instance was being set with the incorrect board position.

Hi Everyone!

Today I have added some animations to the piece movements so that it is easier to see Stockfish's moves. You can adjust the speed of these animations in the Settings -> Gameplay options.

I have also added the following optimizations:

• Faster piece loading
  
• Faster board loading
  
• Decreased number of player loop calls when falling increasing FPS
  
• Fixed a bug in the distance based board loading for increased FPS

As always, don't forget to join the discord for the latest!

Hello everyone!

Here are the fixes in today's patch:

• Attempting to move chess pieces from a section that you are not currently standing in will no long result in a Stockfish error.
  
  
• You can no longer softlock yourself by trying to move pieces in a different section and getting checked.
  
  
• Standing on a square where Stockfish decides to move it's piece will no longer clip you through multiple pieces. It will instead put you at the closest adjacent empty tile.
  
  
• In the Famous Stacks level you can now move pieces on top of yourself as intended.
  
  
• Changing controls in the middle of game play now updates the controls immediately instead of having to restart.
  
  
• Some localization updates have been made to better contextualize the translations.
