New art and animations!New unit art
Some of you may have already noticed that 2 weeks ago the units received a major graphical overhaul. Over time new skins and colours will be added to the game and they will be unlockable in various ways! I know that a lot of you play on simple graphics mode and similar customisation features will also be supported there in time as well.
Full Animations!
The huge change released today are new animations (and additional sounds) for basically every effect in the game!
Previously only a small amount of effects had any visualisation at all, everything kind of just happened invisibly and it was very difficult to understand what was happening in the game. Now each effect is clearly visualised: what it does, where it came from, where it is going and when it happened.
Even veterans of the game will find this change incredibly helpful, I myself have been surprised many times how certain mechanics were working behind the scenes. Also: its more fun to see things move around!
At this point the limit of what can be achieved graphically with the game has been reached and there is no future graphics work planned. There will be improvements here and there, especially to the UI, but from here on the main focus is gameplay! With the animation system done this opens a lot of doors for effects that would have been impossible to have before!
Timeline
I also think were long overdue on a timeline of the future of the game. They are not in a specific order but they are all planned for the near future.
Game-related:
- Local engine evaluation for singleplayer modes (this will improve engine play by 100x)
- New gameplay content (redesign of reinforcements mechanic + new class)
- Balance changes (Assassin lance+rook combo, your days are numbered :P)
- Non-AFK mode (play the chess part yourself vs the AI/other player)
Community/Marketing-related:
- Steam page will receive a massive overhaul with new artwork and trailer to match the current state of the game.
- Goal to participate in various indie game festivals this year to build larger community.
- Host a multiplayer tournament with prizes, more details soon!
See you in the Arena
[ 2024-04-22 09:15:32 CET ] [ Original post ] 
AFK Chess is a PvP chess auto battler - you build up your army and watch it fight against other players!
You will constantly be deciding on the best way to improve your army based on the random selection of units, items, upgrades and events that are offered to you in each turn.


You play against other players in either a relaxed Arena with no timers or an intense real-time Versus mode with up to 8 players. In both cases, you will need to come up with strategies and counter-strategies to win!
As you progress you are matched against stronger players, do you have what it takes to beat them all?


Discover synergies between a constantly expanding roster of units, classes and items. Strike fear in other players as you discover insane scaling strategies that will demolish their run!

Game modes
- Arena - Chill Async Multiplayer with no timers and a random opponent each turn, can you get 10 trophies to win the Arena?
- Versus - Real-time Multiplayer with up to 8 players - will you be the last one standing?
- Custom lobby - Play with your friends with custom rules, bring as many of them as you want - there are no limits!
