New visuals, sounds, and small improvements in v0.0.10
Welcome!
Now that I've returned home from traveling and have a proper PC setup to move 3D objects around I've gone ahead and overhauled the visual of the game! This hopefully will make the game feel/look more cozy and have it looking like a proper game now. Below is the list of things added. Shout out to KayKit! If you haven't seen Kay Lousberg on itch then you should go check them out https://kaylousberg.itch.io/.
- New main menu visuals, this is just a copy of the actual in game setup.
- New in game visuals, the chess board and table are now surrounded by an actual room with lighting. You can't see a ton from in the game, but you can see the full surroundings in the main menu. The lighting mechanism has also been changed to give a more dynamic and natural lighting to the board and pieces.
I've also gone ahead and added sounds to most all actions inside of the game. Thank you to the amazing Kenney as always for the absolute amazing asset packs, please go take a look at their assets if you haven't already https://kenney.nl/.
- Added sounds to the UI for both hovering and clicking on buttons.
- Cards now have sounds for when you draw, shuffle, or hover over them.
- Pieces and Squares also have sounds when hovered and can be selected now as well. The sounds are slightly different to help distinguish them. I'm looking to continue improving this for accessibility in a future update.
- When you select an object there is now a select sound as well.
- Pieces moving also have a thunk sound when they reach their destination.
- Fixed an issue where uncapped frame rate caused a spike in GPU usage.
Finally, I've made a few improvements to game-play based on feedback from play testers! As always if you have any issues or ideas please leave a comment either here, or in the forum! I'm constantly looking for ways to make it more fun and improve.
- You can now discard cards and also play a card in a single turn. Discarding used to end your turn, but it does not do so any more.
- Added the ability to end your turn without doing anything. You can now choose to just do nothing if you desire. This is in combination with the discarding change so you have to now explicitly end your turn.
- The starting deck has been improved! Before is was randomly build (IE pick 52 random cards), but this lead to some not awesome decks which made the game not as enjoyable (and also tripped up the bot a lot). Now instead the deck has a set amount of each card. I'm hoping this makes it more enjoyable as the 52 card card was split proportionally to the pieces on the board. I'm still working on a future update that allows you to build your own.
- 26 Pawn cards
- 6 Bishop cards
- 6 Knight cards
- 6 Rook cards
- 4 Queen cards
- 4 King cards
