Nice Games! I wonder how you came up with the gamedesign;)!
Thanks
thanks for adding a kind of “guide” when placing pieces! i don’t know how to play chess but I did have some good fun :-)
Thank you for playing . Yeah i had to make the calculation of possible moves anyway, so I could just add some visual help easily
Nice Game
Thanks for playing
Chess is good game and is interesting making it with a skin but is not innovation
Yeah, the original plan was to make tower defense game using chess rules, but i was running out of time so i just turned it into regular chess. Thank you for playing
Fun chess game, great job making an AI to play against! I like that the AI was pretty easy, cuz I'm bad at chess so it gave me a fighting chance. My match still ended in a stalemate, but I had fun playing!
Thank you for playing. I tried to make the AI play "smart" like a human and not just move pieces around randomly,
I saw your steam and it seems like it was too eager to sacrifice pieces, even the queen xD
Good job making a functional chess game with AI to play against.
Thank you, doing the AI was harder than i thought to make it not just move pieces randomly
Nice concept, sometime i had a little hard time clicking (you need to have the camera absolutly still), but good idea for the game
same
Thank you. It was my first time doing a 3d game, I'll improve the click hitboxes in a future update
Hello there, a good game of chess, for some reason I thought all the pieces were going to move like rooks lol (but they have normal movement. Nice Ai too, great job!
That idea would be hilarious xD and thank you
Nice simple idea! I'm not sure if anyone else had this problem but I wasn't able to make any moves. The center white front piece would move and then the game would get stuck.
Are you playing on pc or phone? Also i found a bug that sometimes the camera is not on the right side but you can freely rotate it
I'm on PC. I've been rotating it but it wasn't changing anything.
When you click on the any of the towers do they turn green?
No not for me.
I haven't found any bugs at all here, so well done. I'm curious, how does the AI work?
Thank you for playing.
The AI calculates all possible moves and then uses a simple score system to pick the best move available. Stuff like putting the enemy king in check, capturing high ranking pieces or protecting it's own king have higher scores. It also has some randomness so it does not make the same moves everytime.
Chess with towers, I like the concept but I felt like its quite boring. but I mean I really like the models and the smooth camera movement!
Thank you for your comment
The original idea was to make a tower defense game using chess rules but ran out of time so just made it into a regular chess game
I like chess, but the mechanics in this don't even work.
What bugs have you found when playing it?
