MAGWest Preparation Week 1: New Art!

Board of the Kings: A Chess RPG
A browser game made in HTML5

Hello Kings and Kingettes!

Let's talk about something simple for on this hump day: new art! As mentioned previously, we're now working with Dan, the artist for both Kobold Tactics and Snackrifyce, and he's been a wonder to have on the team so far!

Say hello to our new Ice King! Evander McGalloway is not necessarily the protagonist of Board of the Kings, but he's definitely the face of the game for now at least. He'll be regarded as the first king you have access to in our game, so it's most likely the one most players will see! He's currently the only playable King in our Tournament Mode, or the mode we showcase most often (and will be again at MAGWest!)

We've also got the timelapse for Dan's work available on our social media which you can check out and also give us a follow if you're interested! We'll still be trying to post regular updates before the end of September, trying to get everything we've been working on in the game.

Until then, go Team Checkmate!
