Finally, after more than a year's work, I have got my game ready! It's a freeware, multiplayer only (can be tested without other player) chess game called Chessage.
The game started as a simple network test, intended to be finished in two weeks. No graphics (save for the board and the pieces) or menus or anything.
Well, the plans got out of hand, and here we are. Complete multiplayer chess game, with 4 graphical themes. (Good graphics = something that every chess game should have...
)
Actually this is still Release Candidate 2, as some bugs (that matter anyway) may still exist in the game...
Some screenshots:
You can download the game
here (16.7 mb's, sorry about that
).
EDIT:
I've updated the game to RC2. Here's the list of most significant changes:
- Basic moves can be shown
- Saving systems works (again)
- "Safety mode" to create logs if the game crashes
- Eaten pieces no longer float in the air (unintentionaly)
- Sounds can be turned on/off
- Windows' mouse cursor can be hid when useing the running in window mode
- Reduced the size of the installation file
Known bugs:
- The game may crash on some computers. Please run the game in "safety mode" and send me the log gile if this happens on your computer.
- Fire ratling can be heard in the medieval theme even if graphics are set low and there is no fire in the fireplace.
All comments and bug reports are most welcome!
