RPG Chess♟: Today is the deadline to submit a demo for the Steam Next Fest, and I've made the decision to withdraw from the event. While I have a playable demo ready, there is just a tad too many bugs and missing features for me to release it to the general public. That being said... (1/6) #gamedev

The push for the demo deadline has yielded A LOT of progress on the game. Part of the reason I haven't provided any updates for a while is simply because I've been developing non-stop, resulting in the following additions to the game: (2/6)

- Full implementation of sound, composing multiple themes for the soundtrack🎶 - Introduced an elemental system, where the pieces and abilities have different element types🔥 - Implemented status effects, buffs and debuffs🔺🔻 - Added a bunch of new UI, animations and particle effects☄ (3/6)

While it sucks not being part of the event, I'm very excited with the way the project is taking shape! I haven't shared this since it's mostly due to another group of people, but I currently have 2000+ wishlists on Steam after a few TikToks/YouTube Shorts went viral, which is just insane. (5/6)

To wrap up this rather lengthy thread, I'll now take a brief break from development to focus on my studies. However, I'll be sharing new content from the game in the coming weeks, and I'll also aim to have a gameplay-trailer ready in the not-too-distant future👀 Thank you for all your support!♟ (6/6)

Although I was looking forward to see your Game on Next Fest, It's an respectable Choice to have made!!👍🏼 But It's really cool to see what insane Amount of Stuff you've added to it!✨🤩 I wish you good luck with your Studies! 🍀
