First Glimpse: Chess Avatara

OK, I've dropped plenty of clues, but here's a first glimpse of what Chess Avatara is like. :-)

What you see is nothing like how it will look. Funny, eh? You see a sungeon scene and two suns with names, apparently. The suns are just graphics I swiped off Google. There will be normal characters instead, in the end. The dungeon represents the first room of the game, but it will not look anything like it does now. Firstly, the room was designed to be small here for the sake of development. In the final game, it will be huge and scroll on the screen. Also, the graphics are also ones I snagged off Google.

The player names are final, for the most part. The yellow name represents the player you are controlling. The white name respresents another player on the server. This screenshow was taken with Aragog playing. (HP fans, get the reference?) Currently, the serer/client system works very solidly, and the player movements are indeed happening live!

I will have over the coming months. Intended release date is sometime in January, but no guarantees. I'm developing as I find the time.

Fun stuff. OK, time for more. :-)
