The second LoveChess, LoveChess Age of Egypt is coming.

We are putting the finishing touch on the game & site atm. I think we've improved it quite a bit.

I hope this screenie is decent enough.

it IS male vs female... right? not male vs male -_-'


Knotz(Posted 2006) [#3]
Ye, males versus females.


Neuro(Posted 2006) [#4]
(....lets also get some serious females vs females up in there......)

new particle system?


TartanTangerine (was Indiepath)(Posted 2006) [#6]
Lol, what's part 3 "Age of Atlantis"???


Knotz(Posted 2006) [#7]
new particle system?


Nope, more experience :)

And yeah, i will probably churn out endless variations on the theme untill i retire...


Grey Alien(Posted 2006) [#8]
cool. Also apparently 10% of males are gay so you might need a man vs man mode too, not forgetting that some ladies might like this too of course. This could sell buckets if you get the option to choose man vs man and women vs women! I appreciate this is many more animations and painstaking research required of course. Credit me if you do it ;-)

@Indiepath : you forgot one, "Age of Camelot" :-)


TartanTangerine (was Indiepath)(Posted 2006) [#10]
Credit me if you do it ;-)

With what? man 2 man animations?


Grey Alien(Posted 2006) [#11]
Tim: lol my arse off haha, eye's watering... lol. No I meant just the idea of choosing man 2 man or woman 2 woman in game to attract a bigger audience of players. Anyway they've probbly already thought of it and discarded it as too much work and possibly SORDID lol ;-)


ShadowTurtle(Posted 2006) [#12]
have this game a storymode?


Knotz(Posted 2006) [#13]
ye, a very deep storymode...check & mate

Never thought chess could be sexy...

Well, indecent possibly ;).


Grey Alien(Posted 2006) [#16]
the screenshot is cunning cos all the men are facing away from the viewer!


Paul Murray(Posted 2006) [#17]
Are they still called 'pawns' in this version...?


Q(Posted 2006) [#18]
Very interesting approach.


Knotz(Posted 2006) [#19]

If I posted a, more detailed, screenshot from the other side, I would be banned for life. I think this is as far as I can and want to go here.

Like the former version, this game was made with the ol' toolset, consisting of Blitz3D, gile[s], some stuff from filax and sswift and ParticleCandy.


Braincell(Posted 2006) [#20]
The male piece furthest to the left has his piece sticking out tho... Its only 2 pixels, so it won't cause an inferiority complex on anyone (and im sure the mods dont want to make a statement about themselves by sanctioning). The screeny is quite fine, its not offensive at all. Haha. Great stuff. I dont like chess tho. I saw adverts for this game all over semi-adult sites.


jfk EO-11110(Posted 2006) [#21]
Good luck with this. It's one of the few successful titles written in Blitz3D. Looks good so far. Maybe needs some FX like vol fog, or how about the sunbeams in the air thing as seen in the archives. Some bloom maybe.

Have you ever considered that this is an unhealthy fetish?

O_o


LineOf7s(Posted 2006) [#23]

"Porns" perhaps?


Knotz(Posted 2006) [#24]
Have you ever considered that this is an unhealthy fetish?


Fetish? Nope, not in my view. Erotic arts and games are available since thousands of years, more or less openly published depending on the prevailing manners. The current Dutch culture, for how long it lasts, allows us to do our work without being outcasts, quite the contrary actually. Whereas it could well be that the current culture of the USA, where you live, thinks of us as perverts with an unhealthy fetish. It is as it is.

Very polished product you have there Knotz.

Congrats!


Anatoly(Posted 2006) [#26]
Dude! Did Macho Studios release LoveChess in Russia? Why did you do that? Nobody ever buys their stuff because it has reputation of being cheesy as hell even for porn! Or did they pay you up front?


Knotz(Posted 2006) [#27]
They paid up front.

and made a hilarious cover for the CD :D
