- Dev Log #4 The Evolution of Sente’s Story - 26 May 2026
The previous Dev Log talked all about the Robot Bar and how the popularity of Sente has grown amongst the robot population. Now it’s time to look at the wider world of Sente and how it came to be.The Story So Far…Sente hadn’t always had a theme, but when the developers had landed on Sente being the board game of the future and that AI would challenge other AI to compete against, This led the team to envision a world where robots had risen to the same social standing as humans and, in some cases, even surpassed humans in terms of technology and, in Sente’s case, entertainment.Rather than a post-apocalyptic world where robots had taken over, Sente sees robots and humans cohabitating in a utopic society. Cohabitating might be a strong word… robots have displaced humans as the most dominant species on the planet, for example, robot athletes have taken over sports, robot entertainers take th…
- Dev Log #3 Enter the Robot Bar - 12 May 2026
The Robot Bar is your starting point to the world of Sente. And as Sente is a game made by robots, for robots, you’ll need to find a way to walk amongst them, improvise and find a clever disguise to take part in the latest game taking the digital world by storm. How it StartedIn 2019, Sente was a concept brought to life on a blank board, no table, no bar, and certainly no robots.Originally, Sente was set in a void in a nameless location. Robot figures loomed in the darkness, merely disembodied arms manipulating the screens. Far from the vibrant and bustling bar you’ll see in the game.When in development, the team originally didn’t feel like Sente needed a theme. After all, games like Chess don’t have a theme… or do they? After going back to the drawing board and doing deeper research, it seems even the classics are themed around something. In Chess, for instance, you have Knights, Kings…
- Dev Log #2 Simultaneous Combat Explained - 28 April 2026
A turn-by-turn breakdown of Sente’s simultaneous combat system.Sente features a simultaneous turn system where you’ll not only have to plan your next move, but also anticipate your opponent’s.Adapt on the fly and catch your opponent off guard using intricate circuits to deliver the final blow!Evolution of Simultaneous CombatSente didn’t always function as the simultaneous battle of the minds you see today. In early development, Sente followed a more traditional sequential turn system where one player would make their move, then the next etc.However, we wanted to test the waters of how rounds would play out if each player went simultaneously. This raised new challenges such as “if Player A moved to a position Player B was placing a core in, what would happen once the turn resolves?” The result: they both explode!Chain reactions became a core aspect of the development of Sente and how dif…
