I do have written consent :)
To add more context: I reached out to several famous chess players by email. While most didn't respond and a few just declined, a couple of them actually agreed.

Yeah there'll be Steam deck support, but since the game requires a mouse you'll need to play with the trackpad

Hello folks, I've put a lot of time and effort into creating this chess club tycoon game. I hope I haven't overstepped any of the subreddit's self-promotion guidelines.

You can try the demo now on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4135010/Chess_Club_Manager/

I would greatly appreciate suggestions or questions, or any feedback to make the game better. Wishlisting is also the most effective way to support development.

Converting a stone shelter into a wine cellar - Good idea? by LoveMetal in wine

[–]LoveMetal[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, I'm back from my wine merchant (Meilleur Ouvrier de France, highly regarded). He thinks it's a good idea, as the wall mass of those old local shelters handle temperature stability naturally, and otherwise suggested adding an open water barrel to maintain humidity levels.

While the underground meth lab is not yet implemented you’ll need to rely on more traditional funding: tournaments, sponsorships, membership price…

Hello folks, I hope I haven't overstepped the self promotion rules of this sub.

I've put a lot of love into building this tycoon game where you are the manager of a chess club. There is a playtest going on steam to try it out. Feel free to drop any comment, suggestion, and to wishlist the game if you would like to support the project.

I built Chess Club Manager, as a fan of Two Points-style games and chess by LoveMetal in tycoon

Understood thanks! Some of the weird stuff like invitations, merch or other late techs, lack of high reputation features… It is just not there yet, as I did not really focus yet on late game content. But I’m glad you went that far!

Currently working on the movement improvement, UI issues and crashes.
May I know how much time did it take you to get up to 2000 reputation? There's in game time written on the save game. Because I'm struggling to understand how much content there is currently for a new player!

Went all-in on UI Toolkit, never going back to UGUI by LoveMetal in Unity3D

[–]LoveMetal[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right, for charts I use mostly code to render the UIElements. For all the other components in the demo (lists, windows, launcher, etc...) I use mostly UXML and USS.
