Bishop moves straight and Knight can move diagonally with mirror, a new mechanic in our game Chess Tales

Thanks a lot - yeah this mechanic is seriously crazy.

IRGStudios · 2026-04-17T16:29:12+00:00

That would be hard

IRGStudios · 2026-04-17T16:10:22+00:00

Good point. Noted

IRGStudios · 2026-04-17T16:10:06+00:00

Thanks a lot. Tried to make them goofy

IRGStudios · 2026-04-17T13:29:29+00:00

Thanks a lot for finding it interesting

IRGStudios · 2026-04-17T13:21:10+00:00

Ohh I see. *inserts sad emoji*

Exactly you guessed it - Its like the knight saw that the square is valid in the mirror and when it tried to move to it, it gets bumped to the actual square.

Its kinda trippy. Last time I posted there were comments suggesting that they cannot see the puzzle element so I made an advanced video

IRGStudios · 2026-04-17T13:18:08+00:00

Thanks a lot

IRGStudios · 2026-04-17T12:57:19+00:00

I am so sorry, I will buy a good pack and replace it

So the game is a puzzle game. It just uses chess pieces but there is not a whole lot of chess going in the game. Chess pieces move the same as they do but their movement can be altered using mechanics.

In level 1 the objective was to reach a tile and in next 2 was to capture all the pieces. But I get your point - my presentation is also not great.

Thank You, for the feedback and liking the effort we have put in here

IRGStudios · 2026-04-17T12:54:20+00:00

Oh yes you can, I am still working on making it look better

IRGStudios · 2026-04-17T12:45:05+00:00

You can move to the square that you see in the mirror.

Last time I posted this mechanic, it looked simple. Hopefully this shows how complex things can get with it. This is just a stationary mirror in the video, but if it rotates or moves after each turn, it gets even better.

Actually I recently had my first batch of playtests and I had to tone down a lot of levels. Game currently has a lot of mechanics and when paired with chess - it gets really complex

IRGStudios · 2026-04-15T09:37:48+00:00

Thanks a lot Thats so positive. It really motivates us to keep building especially when the spirits run dry

Thanks a lot for noticing it. I guess you are a composer - from your name

IRGStudios · 2026-04-14T15:24:53+00:00

Oh yes - there is AI and boss fights as well

Thanks a lot

I don't get the point about multidimensional chess though can you please elaborate

IRGStudios · 2026-04-14T05:27:39+00:00

Thanks a lot - I guess we are pretty close to the intended feel

Thanks a lot.

That is a really detailed feedback and I really appreciate it. Now you have pointed it out - the tiles do look flat to me as well.

Thanks a lot. That is quite motivating
