Hi All,
Mark your calendars! Chess Survivors is going to be fully released on August 31st! The 1.0 release will bring a bunch of new relics, new achievements, two new characters themed off my cats, and a massive re-balance across all the relics, characters, and abilities.
I go into a bit more detail in this video:

I am excited, nervous, and sad to be wrapping up development on Chess Survivors.
I’m sad because this game is my first real game and even more, it's been part of my life for over a year now. I’ve spent a lot of time developing Chess Survivors, but I’d bet I’ve spent even more time simply thinking about the game. Needless to say, it will be strange to start a new project, but this game will always have a special place in my heart.
I’m nervous because I decided to cut many of the features or systems I wanted to add (boss fight, endless more, record system, etc..). This makes me nervous because some of these features are things that would take this game to the next level of polish, but I know it’s time for me to move onto my next project. I’m proud of the depth and content I’ve added to Chess Survivors and I think it has more than enough to match the value you would expect from a small indie game like this.
I’m excited, because I have so many ideas for my next project. I’ve become a much better developer and designer over the course of Chess Survivor’s development and I can’t wait to make my next game.
Thank you to all of you who have played my little indie game. A special thank you to everyone who has given me feedback or reported bug.
Cheers,
Aarimous
