So it was a kind of deadlock issue, actually a bit more complicated than I thought... Next I need to fix the top moves which are duplicated across databases.

The long delay for e5 is because it was calculated on the spot but after that it is cached.

#unrealengine #chess #gamedev

Fixing the database bugs, one at a time (it looks scary but it's not that bad!)

#unrealengine #chess #gamedev

I've made some good progress with the style update, it was mostly about displaying the right graphics and moving the captured pieces to the right place. There are a few funky issues with the notation but I'll get back to it later. Database is next!

I recognize some Spanish words however I don't understand the meaning. As last resort you can try with ChatGPT or Gemini maybe?

Getting that piece in the drawer was more work than expected...but totally worth it!

#xiangqi #gamedev #unrealengine

Almost done with the style update! I just need to either place these xiangqi drawers correctly or remove them.

Also improved the chess set look.

Since you don't use hashtags you shouldn't really worry about curation unless your content is extremely offensive since not many people will effectively read it.

Now it will still be available to strangers, if that disturbs you maybe use some kind of private posting like groups or forums?

If it's about Mastercard/Visa going at war vs adult games, other games shouldn't be affected.

Ok it turned out that I was wrong, the other side was in another folder labelled v2, which was confusing because it is the first side...

So, good progress with Xiangqi and the figuriness look cool!

#xiangqi #gamedev #unrealengine

Big issue with Xiangqi! I realized that I had the Piece Sets only for 1 side! So I had to devise a way to create new sets and cheat badly to create the normal map...

Here is the advisor, I might have to change the font and circle otherwise it seems to do the job...

#xiangqi #gamedev #unrealengine

A few more labels to fix, add those neat Xiangqi figurines and I'm done with the style update!

You're not weird, you are being creative. There is a lot of silly stuff in the creativity process, but from time to time jaws drop.

Dali was painting melting clocks, when asked why he said because Jesus is cheese, wasn't that weird?

I have spent a few days sanitizing the board styles. The most pressing issues have now been fixed even though some are still lingering. This is an important step to finish before going out of early access...

#chess #capablanca #xiangqi #gamedev #unreal engine

adding alt text to media you upload is a very tiny thing you can do to make the world a little bit more accessible

While there is still room for improvement, the cinematics quality gives much better results than before.

I still have to fight vs the shadows being too sharp and the lights reflecting on the board though...

#chess #unrealengine #gamedev

After trying various things, I finally figured out that the active widget is not updated immediately. So it was necessary to add a timer to fix this horrible bug...

I've looked into Lyra and didn't find any such use of the widget stack, so it's probably a grey area here...

#unrealengine #gamedev

I hate those bugs. They are the most frustrating and difficult to fix! Also often lead to dirty code... The real fix is to disable F1 until the widget is really gone.

#unreal #gamedev #chess

The logic for the help screen is done. Now it requires some styling and more importantly some content! On the right side the tab help is shown.

The idea is that once you've seen the help you don't want to see it again, unless you press F1 or reset the help.

#gamedev #unrealengine #chess

Thanks!

Help Screen

Time for the Help screen, it is an important step before release because it's where I am likely to notice the features that don't work that well, the missing translations, the bugs and the unfinished parts.

It should also help the user getting around the app...

#gamedev #unrealengine #chess

Yw, those were analog synths, that explains the sound difference. Except for those who owned a Fairlight but that one was so expensive!

Along with the unstable update I have also published the modkit project for Unreal Engine.

This one is specific to creating chess sets and maps, but you can reuse part of this code in your Unreal Engine project if you wish to support mods.

Finally! The new update is on the Unstable Channel...

There is still a lot to do but the hardest part is behind.

The position editor is mostly fixed now.

A few more checks then I should be able to push an update soon...

#chess #shogi #xiangqi #gamedev #unrealengine

Presenting Caïssa Board's next update as a big or major update would be an understatement since everything broke for the new database, mod editor and board sizes.

After 15 months most troubles are gone but the position editor still need some love...

#shogi #xiangqi #chess #unrealengine #gamedev

Originally a chess interface that focused on visualizing tactics, now it does quite a lot more than that.

Checking Tactics before the next update of Caïssa Board, Forks are a tad too big, don't you think?
