What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We would like to get feedback from players to decide how big this game should be. It is structured to allow for many different chess variants, puzzles and game modes. We need the help of the community to decide how many content and modes this game should have.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Between 6 and 12 months. It can be more if players ask us to add even more content that we have already planned.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to develop more content for the game, but how many more will depend highly on player feedback. The game will also be more polished in the final version and we may add new game modes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable and it has 10 Chess Variants available. You can play those variants against the AI or agains a friend (local). There are also more than 300 chess puzzles available for you to solve (from 4 different variants, at the moment).”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, it will cost more. How much more will depend on how much content we will add during the early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are interested in obtaining feedback from the community through the Community Center. We are especially interested in knowing which new chess variants we should develop next.”
