Semi-public alpha release


Hey all!

Today, I’ve got exciting news! As promised, it’s the 20th of January, and therefor I’ll release a (semi-)public alpha of Checkmate!

Woohoo! :D

What is (and why) semi-public?

GameJolt marks the download as a ‘Private’ build, but I do reference to it as ‘Public’. I do, because you actually need a key, which you can activate through your GameJolt account, allowing you to play Checkmate until the end of days.

However, keys are practically infinite and there are no real requirements for getting one; So therefor, it’s a “semi-public” release. It’s not private, nor public - Just someting in between. :)

How to get keyz?!?!

Luckily for you, I’ve got a couple of keys for giveaway:

NUfU6JtU
RSkt9Rgy
QWByngPW
KuR2XZnJ
b5XGVJBu

You need to activate them by going to: http://www.gamejolt.com/claim/PASTECODEHERE

Once there, just click the “Claim” button and you’ll have Checkmate in your library now.

Keys ran out? Check out other social media of mine (Twitter & IndieDB) to see if there are some new keys. I’ll try to release them in batches as slots get filled to keep things manageable. :)

Updates & stuff

I’ll be updating the alpha version as soon as any bugs / glitches are found, however, I won’t be pushing the release a whole lot. This, because the current version is an installer for the game, and you don’t want to be installing the game over and over again - It just gets tedious and annoying after a while.

I’ll also post a new “devlog” once I’ve made some updates.

Comments & Feedback

I’d love to hear what you think! Let me know in the comments, DM me on Twitter, email me - Anything goes!

All (sensical) issues will be adressed nearly immediatly where possible.

Hope you’re all doing well and catch y’all later! :)

It's been a while...

Back in action!

New traps, improved shaders, different gameplay design & much more!

We are under attack!

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

An infected room from the second part of Cybel ! Are you up for some cleansing?

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.
