It is with some reluctance that I send this announcement. I found myself increasingly unmotivated to continue work on Cooperative Chess, and the technical problems I continued to encounter surrounding electron and Steam, while surmountable, didn't feel worth tackling. So I've decided to make Cooperative Chess entirely free (ok I added a small speed bump to sign up for my newsletter, but that's it). And Cooperative Chess, which is made entirely with web technology, will remain only on the web (so not on Steam) and can now be accessed for free either through itch.io or hosted directly at my website https://marplebot.com/coopchess. Thank you for showing interest in Co-op Chess, and I hope you have fun playing!

The story behind Cooperative Chess
Cooperative Chess is part of what has retroactively been termed a "molasses jam" run by the Bay Area Dev Collective. The theme of the jam was to make a violent genre non-violent. Somehow the idea of co-op chess came up during a brainstorming session, and I knew immediately that I had to figure out how to make it work. And now you and a friend get to experience it yourselves.The other molasses game jam games are also on steam:
