The visuals is intentionally desaturated :) e'm prolly going to use this look for cinematic narrative direction ^_^y #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #Godot #RTS BGM : Yuki Masuda-Zutto Kimi Ni Soba De

Chessemble 0.5 - Era of range is now live - New pieces: Yabusume, Trainee Archer - Search pieces in forge - Check feedback - Ability to surrender Read more: lundregan.itch.io/chessemble/d... #godot #indie #indiedev #gamedev #chess

Corfu was a beautiful little island

Was hoping to push a small update but things came up, and last minute bugs always strike when you least expect them. Probably won't be a patch next week either

Yabusame The horseback archer gives up their capture on move, for a more elegant ranged attack #chess #godot #indie

Ummm who gave the pawn a bow, this is highly illegal shizz... #godot #indie #indiedev

Working on a large refactor to support some more exotic kind of abilities and effects for pieces, will be aiming for a smaller patch, but will include some things like: - Feedback for king being in check - formation renaming - ability to surrender #gamedev #godot

Looks like the servers for Chessemble were misbehaving. They should be back up now, apologies for any disruptions.

Had a lovely chat with @chilltownblues.bsky.social where we talked about RPG Chess! You can check it out here if you're interested๐Ÿ‘‡ #gamedev open.substack.com/pub/chilltow...

Perhaps sacrilegious but don't think ill be including the checkmate rule, but instead only warning when the king is threatened... Potentially there may be many ways to escape checkmate, plus I think its pretty cool to actually take the king. #indiegame

As I add more pieces, it becomes more important to offer better tools for managing your formation. First iteration allows you to search for pieces from the big list Other filters will be added as mechanics are cemented and the available piece list grows #gamedev

Chessemble 0.4 is now live - New piece: Hound - Ability to change display name - UI sounds to button clicks - Movement animations for pieces Read more: lundregan.itch.io/chessemble/d... #godot #indie #indiedev #gamedev #chess

With a variety of new pieces upcoming, there should be a way to see what a piece does... in the future I would like to have some visual gifs of their movement/attacks/abilities. or maybe a render board showing their use #gamedev #solodev #godot #indie #indiegame

0.4 will include a few nice QOL updates, think it would be good to revisit QOL every few patches - UI sounds - Renaming yourself - Renaming formations - Unit information panel - move animations

Spearmen, hounds, cracked pawns... what in the magnus is going on... What would you like to see from a chess game where you can customize your starting pieces? #gamedev #indie #solodev #chess #godot #gaming #indiedev #indiegames #gaming

Thought it was about time there was some kind of move animation #gamedev

Awesome site for referencing easings: easings.net/en

Still find it amusing that loading indicators are called "throbbers"

The Hound Sometimes you need mans best friend, for protection or maybe a distraction. Captures 1 diagonally, and moves 2 orthogonally #gamedev

What if chess pieces had ranged attacks, OP? #gamedev

Introducing CHAZZ (chess jazz) The white pieces have all their normal movement, but because of the items they have they can also take like checkers pieces. The left most white pawn "evolves" when it's chilling in the center of the board. The bishop has a gun (can capture from a distance). #gamedev

Chessemble 0.3 is now live - music - sound effects for moving and capturing - new audio options - config file - auto saving/loading of settings Read more: lundregan.itch.io/chessemble/d... #godot #gamedev #indie

Thinking about how castling should work, since you may not have a castle or in a different position hmm...

Thinking sound would give Chessemble more character, so looks like it'll be pulled forward to the next update
