Hey everyone, we have an alpha release date!

Thank you everyone for your patience.  The other rewards are coming along as well.  Stay tuned for information on how everything, including those alpha keys, will be distributed.

Hey everyone!

I know, it has been a while.  We've been hard at work on Quantum Chess so we can get it out to all of you.  Here are some updates on progress!

We Have a Logo!  Check it out on top of the familiar space background.  Let us know what you think in comments for this update, your feedback can make it better!

Game Progress:

1.  The Networking port is nearly complete:  The original networking code was written using tools that are no longer being supported, so we had to redo it using new code libraries (vague I know... NDA's, sorry).

2. New Art:  Since we had to work on networking for the Alpha release anyway, we figured why not put the artists to work to give it a shiny new look!

3. Custom Music:  Again, we have been using the wait time wisely.  The Alpha will launch with some great music (If you watch the stream you've gotten a taste!)

4. AI:  We managed to stretch some of the funding to get a rudimentary AI going.  That means the Alpha will launch with a computer opponent!  It isn't very smart, but it is a start!

Live Stream 5/26 at 6:30 PM PST (GMT -8)

Join us tomorrow to watch, and play with the audience, some Quantum Chess!  We'll talk all things quantum.  Chat live on our Quantum Chess discord channel!

Progress Update:

Here's a little update for all of our patient fans waiting for the game.  We're hard at work getting the alpha out to you guys.  Integrating it with Steam for distribution is under way, and it might even have a bit of an art update!

QC Team

Live Stream Coming!

Hey everyone!  I realize this is the first post-kickstarter update.  Sorry for that, I didn't realize we could continue posting updates after the completion!

I want to send out a big thank you to all of our backers, and the whole Kickstarter team!  

We couldn't have done it without everyone.  And now Quantum Chess is coming to the world!  We have some exciting development news that we'll be dishing out in the near future.  But first, we have a live stream coming on our new Quantum Chess twitch channel!

Saturday, 3/26 at 12PM PST (GMT -8) we have a live stream coming with Chris and Kevin (MadnessMethodOperation) Yazdi again!  Check it out here!

We want to start doing these streams weekly, so stay tuned for the schedule!  And be on the look out, we'll be sending out some surveys soon to get information so we can get you guys your rewards!

Thanks again,

QC Team
