We've been developing the dungeons and boss fights for the story of our quirky chess game, An Elaborate History of Chess! #ScreenshotSaturday

Sometimes our game is a lot like chess, but if chess had sort of loads of zombies and a really big giant one who gets real angry real fast.

Hi! We're making a very (very) silly chess game and would love to be included as we squeeze in before the deadline. A few screenshots below :)

A photo of a pond fully of green lily pads with pink and yellow flowers on the left hand side of the image, with a hand-drawn set of chess-like tiles on the right hand side with a mix of rocks, soil, grates, grass, and some water tiles, some of which have different lily pads in

Took a bit of inspiration from a recent day out and added some lily pads to our water tiles now that they're looking a bit more complete

New Paper Pirates trait! The Quester appears in Trait and Traits+ games as a new passive trait.

Each voyage The Quester is given a secret quest, such as to change their team some number of times.

If The Quester can complete their quest, they’ll get a special reward!

Made a start on building a new system for stuff that opens up after the demo... You thought the whole game would be an 8x8 square? 🌲 🪓

Find moving lots of pieces a drag in An Elaborate History of Chess?

Once you have a King, you can unlock additional movement options by levelling them up. Pieces can follow each other, and you can even group select lots of pieces!

New Paper Pirates trait! The Informant will appear in Trait and Traits+ games as a new passive trait.

At the start of the voyage, The Informant is notified of up to three traits that aren't currently in the voyage.

How will they use this information? Will they share it, or keep it to themselves?

Here’s a few cheeky screenies of An Elaborate History of Chess for #ScreenshotSaturday!

It’s got turnips, dungeons, puzzles, and a magic talking book that fills itself in automatically as you play. What more could anyone want?

There’s even a demo available now on Steam!
