Chess In Space - Open Beta

I am Maximinus, a solo developer from Grenoble and Nice, France.

I've released 20 games on the Xbox 360 Indies service between 2009 and 2014: Globe Clicker, Red Tie Miner, Blocks and Tanks.

I am now developing for the PC.

Open Beta / Early Access :

This is the Open Beta release. There is no minimum price, you can purchase it for free on Itch.io and have access to all the future updates. I am looking for feedback and compatibility testing.

Looking for feedback :

I am looking for feedback on anything you want to communicate on, and on these points :

• hardware compatibility : did you have any issue running the game on your machine? Was the framerate smooth?
• 3D legibility : was it easy to distinguish the pieces? Would you prefer 2D sprite-based graphics?
• mouse input : was it easy selecting and moving pieces with the mouse?
• mouse input : was it easy moving and scaling the camera?
• computer difficulty : did you find a computer skill level that was not too hard, enjoyable to play against?

Planned features :

• save and load a game in progress
• undo move
• load .PGN game file
• analyse previous games with the Stockfish engine

Possible future features :

• 2D sprite-based rendering engine
• online multiplayer "correspondence" chess
