A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

The default was U.S.A - East coast but now most major Regions are provided. Try it out Europe! Also - Night Mode is in! To Toggle NightMode, Hold Left Control + T. This might change in the future but that's it for now!

Question: What other arrangements would you like? Are you against formations where pieces are spawned below the Cube? Are you open to formations that introduce extra Rooks, Knights, and Bishops? This is all optional of course but we'd like to get your feedback. Thanks in advance!

Use it to change stages. The Space Stage is for Night and Dark places. Hope it helps Lukas and co! Later on, the stage will have asteroids and planets rotating around the cube. We released this earlier for the contrast in brightness the stage provides.
If you or someone you know would like to be featured in the Game, we have some ideas for Achievements we want created in about a months time. Just message me or this Post for a shot!

Edit: Poll Here We've had quite a few people ask about the status of the game so I thought I'd clear some things up: 1 - We planned on launching when the AI was finished(close but not done). 2 - Integrate a mode where people could play each-other for money. 3 - Change up some of the games inner-workings and matchmaking menus. The game is quite playable and already has local and online mode with replays. The Question is: Would you all be willing to play the game in its current state? It would be about a month early but I guess this is what Early Access is for right? I don't know how to do a pol
The in game menu tray now has bgm and sfx options among other things. We feel that the games 3d enviroments are alot more immersive due to players moving around the camera to see the game. Loading times have been improved as well. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32250949/49b7290bf33a7b3b881a9766957ffc0282b61c27.pnghttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32250949/afa33b3afdf1b981b3728cf856bf547a0fecddf4.png
Game menus have been revamped and should be visible in the trailer along with some more insight to the games mechanics. Hope it was worth the wait! Who wants to be a mod? Looking for people to help out in the forums for when the game launches.(which is soon)
First - what is a Solver Behaviour? Think of it as a silent observer that watches your game with an intent to modify the cube to a Pattern it desires. In between turns, The solver will rotate the cube so long as neither player are in check/mate.This is optional. Don't freak out! Here are the 2 we have so far: Normal this solver is self explanatory. The solver will rotate the cube on the shortest path to a completely solved cube. Undo Similar to Normal except this Solver solves the cube by Undoing all moves made by players! A subtle but important difference. Checkered and Stripe patterns are ne
We've got an overhaul of the UI in the works. It should give the game a much better feel. The widgets in the game screen are gone and moved to a tab that can be pulled out anytime during gameplay. Again, sorry for the delay. Early Access is supposed to be where some of this stuff is tested but we feel that some more elements should be refined before we release. The AI integration is going great as well so hopefully we will be launching soon!
