Chokur is Coming Soon!

Well, the game has been in development for a year now and it has been quite the journey for this humble studio of one. As was previously stated on the store page, it was the plan to make the game available in Early Access come August, but as you can see the date has now been pushed to November (28th).

The reason for this comes simply from the fact that I have recently had to take on a side contract to bring in development (and survival) money, so my time is now split between the two projects. I did everything I could, from selling the car to anything not bolted to the house, to cover expenses in a way that would allow me to focus 100% of my time on the game and it got me this far-- which is great but obviously not great enough to deliver on the originally promised release date.

It pains me to my core that the first promise the studio made to you was broken, so I hope to make it up by launching with the biggest discount rate permitted by the store, which is 40%. My first thought was to gift the game to those that have wishlisted plus the first 500 that wishlist after that, however that doesn't seem possible (using some external channel could work but would be prone to abuse by bad actors). I'll also follow up this announcement with a post detailing the current state of the game, the roadmap, etc, and from this point on will keep you updated on the progress being made.

Being able to work on Chokur only on nights/weekends is obviously less than ideal but we're definitely close to the finish line! I'm also very thankful for the opportunity my cousin gave me, where I'll be modernizing an application written 30 years ago in C, because without that income everything would come to a halt. So hang in there, because the chess derivative of your dreams will be in your hands soon and once it's available I'll be counting on your feedback to make it the best it can be!

Thanks!
