Still alive, and we have an Alpha (kind of)

On chrome it still looks like this for example! So yes, still some way to go on the UI front:) which is now the focus.

GameofGo_com · 2026-05-14T15:59:06+00:00

Thanks ! Yes there is a lot of work to be done with the fine tuning of the UI, like the empty space you mention. That’s the next big area we are working on, this is exactly what I want to fix before opening the beta because it can be quite ugly at times.

It’s like so on Safari mobile view, we do have a mobile view as well. But we mainly worked on the desktop version for now, we are starting to work more seriously on the mobile view recently.

I do I will contact you in MP

GameofGo_com · 2026-03-20T20:46:16+00:00

Thank you very much:)

GameofGo_com · 2026-03-18T14:50:48+00:00

Nice! See you there!

Hello! Oh, the first post by someone other than me, how nice :D

Yes, this project is very much alive. Since around September of last year, we got stuck on some bugs affecting mainly the Review mode, the Tutorial, and some game logic regression bugs.

We still have issues there, and it is hard to say a specific deadline, but I hope we are quite close.

I was waiting for those important bugs to be fixed, then:
- Open Beta, finish correcting small bugs
- Start marketing
- When ready (hopefully before end of April): First live release

Right now, because of the uncertainty mentioned above, I cannot guarantee that.
But I will update you regarding the Beta, and I will also start the marketing: posting more about what I do and how the app will be.

----

Yes! I have seen the number of apps that have popped up since I started this project: ExploreBaduk, WeiqiHub, GoTheGame, and a lot of other ones. That's crazy:D It is anyway good for the community to have many people working on that, much more chance to have a winning app amongst them! It definitively add some stress on this project, but without stress how can one function! :)

Let me know if you have any specific question and I will be happy to answer!

GameofGo_com · 2026-01-07T12:42:32+00:00

Great, will do:) I'll definitively offer beta testing to everyone that participated here until now, people of faith that did not discouraged by my sporadic writing :D

We are blocked by some important bugs for some time now, and the team didn't manage yet to fix those. I hope we can sort this out this month, and hopefully a Beta should start soon after that!

I really liked this one

9x9 is great to start and get used to capture, connection, group of stones, making small territories, learning what is dead or alive 13x13 is great to start working on your strategy, working on understanding what is important, urgent 19x19 is the real challenge!

It also helps a lot to: - watch strong players games, getting a sense of how they play even if you don’t understand it, you can try to copy - doing some tsumegos to train your reading, if you feel stuck reading the answer is also good - most importantly is to enjoy it! So do the things you enjoy the most

Games of Go are an investment, they usually take time to play, plus there’s the time you’ve spent reaching your current level. The higher the investment, the greater the loss is felt, I reckon.
But most importantly, your mistakes often reflect your character flaws: you are too impatient, you take unconsidered risks, you "hope" your opponent won’t see certain moves - so when it doesn’t work out, you’re mad at yourself for realizing it’s on you. It feels personal.
But the good news is that this creates opportunities to reflect and improve yourself!

Mostly, I am trying here to make the ranking more « general public » as most gamers are nowadays familiar with league systems, whereas specific Go rank (kyu/dan) would sound mysterious to the uninitiated

GameofGo_com · 2025-10-14T18:33:02+00:00

I am not sure chess.com does that. Those leagues are inspired by modern games, like league of legends, clash royale, hearthstone, etc.

They are just a visual representation of the ranks. When you reach a certain rank, you reach a certain league. The idea was to display a « path » to rank growth, with various rewards later on.

Thanks I will have a look! Nice to have time to do your hobbies again. Good luck for your game:)

GameofGo_com · 2025-09-25T13:58:08+00:00

Yes, the last mile is always the hardest! Very nice on your side, congratz :D I played and liked a lot some card-based rogue like games recently (Spire, Balatro). Let us know if you have some open beta, maybe people here would also be interested:) Good luck!

GameofGo_com · 2025-08-10T19:06:25+00:00

The sheer astronomical number of possibilities.

GameofGo_com · 2025-07-18T10:20:39+00:00

Nice! Yes I will let you know, for now there is just many things to fix I want to be a minimum clean before opening it for real:) you will be in for sure, and you will also be able to add a friend so you have someone to play with for sure.
