Hey all! Multiplayer is right around the corner so I'd like to build the Discord community more with an AMA session.
Maybe this is your first time seeing ChessLocke or maybe you've been playing since launch. If you have any questions about the development journey, new additions to the end-game dungeon, or what's in store for Multiplayer, this is the place to ask!

30 more missions have been added to the post-game Dungeon, increasing the total maps from 20 to 50. What's the difference between the Campaign and the Dungeon?
Campaign - all 50 maps are mirrored or reversed image for equal advantage. Dungeon - all 50 maps put the player at a great disadvantage in various ways. For example, the enemy will have more pieces and/or the enemy King may be protected by walls. Even the game board and background music change to compliment the ominous challenge.
Players will have to use their upgraded abilities, chess skills, and puzzle-solving thinking to become a Dungeon Completionist.

Multiplayer is not yet live and still in development. The majority of functionality is in, with the only feature remaining being the "campaign" version of multiplayer where you can play an opponent and accumulate XP as you play the campaign Mission 1-50 against them. Right now only single matches are in with an XP limit of 1,000, but is not yet available to play.
MULTIPLAYER (Not yet live) -Added select random map feature -Added team piece preview feature before every match to see what level your enemy's pieces are for 5 seconds -Fixed bug where earning XP in Multiplayer also rewarded XP in your single player campaign -Added different sound effect for Reset Abilities feature -Added number and letter grid to map preview -Fixed bugs regarding Friend Requests -Various cosmetic updates
-Mission 2 was too difficult for being the 2nd map in the game. Adjusted the positioning of the bishops to be more useful at the end of the game. -Mission 14 could be won too easily by using King's Command. Adjusted the positioning of the knights to be less powerful at the start
-Mission 2 was too difficult for being the 2nd map in the game. Adjusted the positioning of the bishops to be more useful at the end of the game. -Mission 14 could be won too easily by using King's Command. Adjusted the positioning of the knights to be less powerful at the start of the game. -Enemy Ability artwork will display for 1 second longer upon using an ability in game -Pawn promotion by reaching the other side prompted a piece select screen to choose king, queen, rook, bishop, knight, but also a blank card that did nothing. Removed. -Some Abilities' orders in the Move History screen listed as activated after capturing a piece rather than listed before (Command, Seize, Authority, Joust, Squire). Fixed. -Walls are now colored gray rather than black and white. The coloration served no purpose and were confusing to some. Gray looks more like a static obstacle.
-Adjustment to the XP cost of abilities. Ability 1 and 2's tiers will now progress as 100, 125, 175, 300 and Ability 3's tier will progress as 300, 325, 375, 600 -Changed verbiage and function for Bishop's Peace - "Enemies in range of your Bishops cannot capture pieces on their n

Your Bishops can still be captured." -Removed Item Shop -Various cosmetics updates
