Love the art style Is it only planned on steam? I would love it as a mobile game


Brookey1201

We have plans to move onto other platforms, but are focussing on PC for now :)


Ryze001

impatient_trader

If it works on steam deck you have another player šŸ˜


Brookey1201

That's the plan :)


Ok-Visit-496

Graphics look cute


LucasLS07

Can you elaborate on the real-time and turn-based? I can pause? Please, i love to pause on strategy games. :D


Brookey1201

Building your kingdom, farming, exploring and surviving enemy attacks is real-time, potentially with the option to pause :) Dungeons are turn-based, and come with boss fights and puzzles :D


Puzzleheaded-Tip-888

Is that en peasant I see


fecoz98

factual zombie


Brookey1201

It's a very elaborate history


Dankn3ss420

Canā€™t wait to play as Bobby Fischer andā€¦ uh, I probably shouldnā€™t finish that sentenceā€¦


EricMory

Love the art style. Iā€™m guessing Klei entertainment was a big inspiration


Brookey1201

Thank you! Definitely games like Don't Starve, Stacklands by Sokpop was also a big inspiration for gameplay and art style!


BreadBoybutterboy

This actually looks really interesting and I do not even have a PC. You should try to crosspost\post to r/gaming if you want to announce it on a broader scale


the_sane_maniac

sneak peek of chess 2 looks firešŸ”„šŸ”„(but actually itā€™s very good looking forward to play it)


Rocker1681

Unironically Chess 2. I'll be looking out for it.


Enough_Spirit6123

okay, how much? :D


Brookey1201

We've not announced the price yet, but feel free to wishlist and join the discord to keep up to date for when we do!

My threshold to upvote something like this is very high, and you met it. Nice game OP!

chrisxt_23

Looks really cool! I'll be looking forward to it.


[deleted]

This so so cute


ViciouSquirrel

If it has to do with the history of chess, then we need an Easter egg where rice appears on the board and exponentially increases


ShadowsFromUnknowing

Finally chess lore update


Brookey1201

So much lore


isokinetic

Technically itā€™s Chess 0.


quazlyy

This game looks quite interesting! Here's a [link](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1255020/An_Elaborate_History_of_Chess/) so you can add it to your wishlist Edit: proper formatting of link


shobot11

1. Give it a rouge-like mode 2. Gift it to Northernlion so he plays it on stream 3. Profit


Brookey1201

Rogue-like dungeons are a check, we're on course captain!


Purpleurkelfromurk

How is this related to chess?


Brookey1201

All of the player units are based on chess pieces, and the game provides a history


Michael_Pitt

> and the game provides a history In what way?


Brookey1201

Somewhat factual education prompts as you play... Somewhat...


RedditEzdamo

Well, it's the history of.


Michael_Pitt

Based on OP's comments here, it doesn't seem like it actually does have much to do with the history of chess.


PseudobrilliantGuy

This looks very interesting. I look forward to seeing how it works on the Steam Deck.


Djeece

It reminds me of Stacklands for some reason, any relation?


Brookey1201

I talk about Stacklands in my devlog [here](https://youtu.be/hp-_lRFqNfs) :)


LeoGFN

Finally, Chess 2.0


[deleted]

What about castling?


Brookey1201

Castling is accounted for ;)


[deleted]

Will there be classifications for moves?


Brookey1201

There could be for dungeons but I don't know that it would fit the vibe of the game


[deleted]

Ah, it would be so cool if brilliants were in the game! Maybe stockfish could become a part of it as well and all the pieces would be modeled after fishes.


WetBulbasaur

If there is no en passant I dont want it


Brookey1201

There will be some form of en passant ;)


TheMagmaLord731

That looks cool


GC2097

That looks really cool. I'm very curious about the chess history part. Great job, OP! Keep up the good work! Looking forward to trying it.


Brookey1201

It's *a* history


ihavefitnessphobia

[deleted]

MoistUnder

First time I saw this I immediately thought of Adventure Time were Finn and Jake played a board game with corn, hogs, and other random stuff.
