I got 2000+ ratings on chess, but this is confusing, maybe try to make some kind of visible icon on the pieces to easily distinguish them? thanks

It shows you the piece type when you drag them, and equipment when you click, but I could probably include an easily recognizable class icon when you click them too. It would help with equipment since you need at least one piece of gear from the original class.

Yeah, but when playing (and thinking) about the moves, players don't want to be distracted by some kind of input (for instances like clicking or holding opponents' pieces just to get information) especially at the latter stages when opponent's pieces are literally triple the numbers of the players (and also that annoying bishop).

And one more thing, maybe this is obvious since you have not done the UI on the item, but it really needs some description, just throwing it out there.

anyway, thanks for the game. :)

I think that piece icons on click should be enough until players learn what everything is. There's far weirder chess sets than mine out there. I don't want to crowd the board with too many symbols and indicators.

Item description UI of some sort is planned to be added, it's just  somewhat difficult to make and I have limited space to add it. I do want to add non-chess moves in the future, so having UI for that will be essential.

yeah, after I played a bit, I do somehow familiarize my self with the pieces, so yeah you are right, it will crowded the board somehow.


lol yeah I myself also despise making UI, anyway good luck with your game.

I just stalemated my opponent lol but it counted as a checkmate and I got two items instead, is that intended behavior?

(+1)

I'm going to say that stalemate should count as a victory, but I'll see if I can give it different text. The game tries to find if the king is in danger before picking which moves are legal, so it's coded to count situations where no moves are possible as checkmates.

yes a different text will do, interesting things I found in older and less popular chess software would also say something like that when a stalemate happened, I guess they don't bother change it lol.
