Welcome to Chess Fantasy
At its heart, Chess Fantasy is the classic game you already know. The twist: you build your own fantasy world around the board, customise it to your taste, and play your matches inside it.
Honestly? This is the first game I've ever made, and this is its very first alpha. Some things will feel rough, some things are missing, and that's okay. I'd rather share it now and build it together with the people playing it than polish it alone for another year.
What you can do right now
Play classic chess inside your own fantasy world and make it yours. A session takes just a few minutes, and it's completely free.
The roadmap, step by step
I'm deliberately keeping this small. Rather than promising a huge feature list, I'd like to nail one thing at a time:
Phase 1 (now): player feel. Does the game feel natural to play? Is it easy to understand? Do you believe it has potential? This is priority one, and nothing moves forward until it feels right.
Phase 2: a proper, clean UI. Once the feel is right, the game should look the part: a clean UI that reinforces what phase 1 uncovered and makes the core game a pleasure to look at.
Phase 3: Steam, with friends. An extremely early version on Steam with local multiplayer, so you can start playing with friends. The first real step toward the free-to-play dream.
The roadmap will grow as phases complete, but only ever one honest step at a time.
Help me shape what comes next
Phase 1 is literally about what you think, so everything you share right now steers the game directly. If you feel like helping:
Leave a comment. What felt good, what bothered you, what would you add? I read and answer everything.
Or fill in the short feedback form: Feedback form for Chess Fantasy
Or join the Discord if you want to follow along and toss in ideas as the game grows.
However you found your way here: thank you for giving my first game a chance. I hope you enjoy it, and I'd truly love to hear what your fantasy chess world looks like.
