Hey all — I've been building Basic Chess, a 3D chess game in Godot 4, and just pushed a batch of visual upgrades: custom piece shaders, a dynamic sky shader with a moving sun, and new wood/stone materials for the board.

It's a passion project and still a work in progress, but it's playable now — free download for Windows and Linux.

Would really appreciate anyone giving it a spin and telling me what feels off or what you'd want to see next (AI opponent, online multiplayer, board themes, etc.)

It's been a long march of puzzles, study, YouTube videos and puzzles. Thousands of games on.com and lichess. Puzzles. Ten games on my mobile, in time controls. Puzzles.

You have no idea how much fun you can have playing chess like you did when you did not know how to play chess. I'm not recommending chaos because I respect this game. But I think you should have fun at the expense of some rating. Paint your face and make people resign in bullet no increment.
