You can choose the song that play for When you are Tied, Winning or Losing. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32250949%2Fb34af965e7f1798bf7915b0612036e3719ca7aca.png Contextual Highlights Pieces now have colored Highlights for various states of game play Green - This piece has an available move.

The other drawers are less 'twitchy' and the minimap stays until you close it. Next…

The default was U.S.A - East coast but now most major Regions are provided. Try it out Europe! Also - Night Mode is in! To Toggle NightMode, Hold Left Control + T. This might change in the future but that's it for now!

• Suggest New Formations! - 5 September 2018

  https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32250949%2Fc1e3c7cac70a58ebd1f4318693fc19d3b9ce2bec.png In tradition Chess the 3rd row is empty but in Chess Cubed the is a formation option that allows some extra pawns to be placed there. Question: What other arrangements would you like? Are you against formations where pieces are spawned below the Cube? Are you open to formations that introduce extra Rooks, Knights, and Bishops? This is all optional of course but we'd like to get your feedback. Thanks in advance!

• New Stage for Night Mode! - 1 September 2018

  https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32250949%2F7b6a4abe97461c51bacb6d9a06a42e64d660aee1.png The Drawer Tab on the lower right has a Toggle called Environment. Use it to change stages. The Space Stage is for Night and Dark places. Hope it helps Lukas and co! Later on, the stage will have asteroids and planets rotating around the cube. We released this earlier for the contrast in brightness the stage provides.

• Games Up! Create Achievements!? - 1 September 2018

  If you or someone you know would like to be featured in the Game, we have some ideas for Achievements we want created in about a months time. Just message me or this Post for a shot!

• We are launching, Early Access, Today! - 1 September 2018

  In 30 min. Feel free to tell your friends on Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Thanks for the support people! Be sure to give us hell so we can make a better product!

• Should we launch NOW, without the AI and etc? - 17 August 2018

  Edit: Poll Here We've had quite a few people ask about the status of the game so I thought I'd clear some things up: 1 - We planned on launching when the AI was finished(close but not done). 2 - Integrate a mode where people could play each-other for money. 3 - Change up some of the games inner-workings and matchmaking menus. The game is quite playable and already has local and online mode with replays. The Question is: Would you all be willing to play the game in its current state? It would be about a month early but I guess this is what Early Access is for right? I don't know how to do a poll but if someone made a poll, or enough people respond to this announcement, then I will launch the game next week. That sound good?

• Mayan Pyramid Stage Finished! - 18 May 2018

  The in game menu tray now has bgm and sfx options among other things. We feel that the games 3d enviroments are alot more immersive due to players moving around the camera to see the game. Loading times have been improved as well. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32250949%2F49b7290bf33a7b3b881a9766957ffc0282b61c27.pnghttps%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32250949%2Fafa33b3afdf1b981b3728cf856bf547a0fecddf4.png

• New UI is In New Trailer! Also Looking for mods. - 29 April 2018

  Game menus have been revamped and should be visible in the trailer along with some more insight to the games mechanics. Hope it was worth the wait! Who wants to be a mod? Looking for people to help out in the forums for when the game launches.(which is soon)

• 2 Solver Behaviours Added?! New UI 90% done. - 17 April 2018

  First - what is a Solver Behaviour? Think of it as a silent observer that watches your game with an intent to modify the cube to a Pattern it desires. In between turns, The solver will rotate the cube so long as neither player are in check/mate.This is optional. Don't freak out! Here are the 2 we have so far: Normal this solver is self explanatory. The solver will rotate the cube on the shortest path to a completely solved cube. Undo Similar to Normal except this Solver solves the cube by Undoing all moves made by players! A subtle but important difference. Checkered and Stripe patterns are next but first we'll see how these do for now! Once again, these are optional. Don't freak out! As for the UI: Before: https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32250949%2F8f9c9ef5fb63240af9506ea669a9bfe0fbc97bb0.png After: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/…

• New UI Incoming. Take a look at the before and after! - 8 April 2018

  We've got an overhaul of the UI in the works. It should give the game a much better feel. The widgets in the game screen are gone and moved to a tab that can be pulled out anytime during gameplay. Again, sorry for the delay. Early Access is supposed to be where some of this stuff is tested but we feel that some more elements should be refined before we release. The AI integration is going great as well so hopefully we will be launching soon!

• Slight Delay on Release. - 31 March 2018

  We are delaying the release by a couple of days to attempt to get the AI in working order. As you might imagine, given the games complexity, it's not a walk in the park! Thank you for your patience. Right now these are the features we have for Early Access: Online Multiplayer is done. Local Multiplayer is Done. Replays Done. Mid Match Resume / Game Saving is Done. Game modes Done. We are working on Some extra modes though. Tool tips and basic settings Done.
