Hey, everyone!

This is a special demo update for the Steam Next Fest, which just kicked off! It brings new content for BOT.vinnik, a much more precise save system, and a series of tweaks that make progression feedback clearer. Here is what changed:

🤖 BOT.vinnik has more to say

  • We added 50 new positive reactions and 50 negative ones. He now comments on your moves with even more personality, praising your good plays and, well, making it very clear when you slip up.

💾 Pick up right where you left off

  • The game state is now saved with much greater precision. When you return to a lesson, you continue from the exact move you were on, instead of starting over from the beginning of the lesson.

✅ Real-time progression feedback

  • Lesson and exercise completion is now registered the moment you make the final move, rather than when you start the next lesson.

  • The progress display is now more consistent with your current state and shows how far you have come more clearly.

🐶 Laika animation fix

  • Fixed an issue in the Basic Module where Laika's talking animation would freeze after a few seconds. It is now synced with each of her lines.

📖 Smoother reading

  • The theory text now reads more fluidly, and the typing sound is more subtle.

🎨 Visual refinements

  • The opponent's move highlight now uses a single color (yellow) for both the origin and destination squares, making the indication cleaner.

  • Various general visual adjustments to improve the game's visual communication.

As always, all feedback is very welcome. Share your thoughts in the Steam discussions or reach out on our social channels. Enjoy the Next Fest, and thank you for your continued support! Rodrigo Araújo Deep Green Games
