Greetings Dark Chess players! Today were releasing what is going to be our final major update for Dark Chess. A game that started as a dream and became our first Steam release. We spent a few years developing it, learning a lot along the way, and thanks to your feedback we made it even better after the release. Before we get into whats new, we just want to say thank you. Your feedback, your passion and your support brought Dark Chess to life and kept it going all this time. This game will always be special to us and we hope it holds a special place for you too. Whats New in This Update? Goodbye to Online Multiplayer After two and a half years, were shutting down the online servers. In the last six months multiplayer activity dropped significantly, so it was time to let it go. The chess battles can continue, just a little closer to home. You can still play against friends using the Pass and Play mode on the same device. Bug Fixes & Improvements Weve rolled out one last round of bug fixes based on the issues you reported. Thank you to everyone who sent us feedback and reports. Ukrainian Language Support A big thank you to Serhii for his help in improving the Ukrainian localization! If you want to help us bring Dark Chess to your language, were open to community translations. Let us know every bit of help counts! New NEXT Button We know some levels in Dark Chess can be really tough or not as engaging for every player. To keep the experience enjoyable for everyone, weve added a NEXT button. If youre stuck or just want to skip a level, now you can. Whats Next? Weve been supporting Dark Chess for over two years, but now its time to focus on our next game Untraveled Lands: Chantico. While we wont be actively working on Dark Chess anymore, were still here to fix critical bugs and issues if they come up. Don't hesitate to share your findings with us. Thank you for every game, every piece of feedback, and for being part of this journey. This chapter is ending, but a new adventure is about to begin. See you in Untraveled Lands: Chantico! Dark Chess Team
