New added pieces in Mana Chess: Unicorn, Winged Pawn and more + minor fixes

We have added six different pieces in Mana Chess:

1) Winged Pawn - a variant of pawn
2) Whip Pawn - a variant of pawn
3) Spriggan - a variant of Knight
4) Unicorn - a variant of Knight
5) Castelan - a force combining Knight and Rook
6) Cones Queen - a cousin of our beloved Queen - her power cannot be underestimated!



These are in a constant state of change - we are working very hard to improve their movement patterns so to give the game an extra edge. Watch this space - more improvements and more special wicked pieces are coming soon!



This update also include some minor fixes to smoothen the player experience, for example:
Notation switching fixed

Demo updated

Navigating a multi-layered chess battlefield can be overwhelming, that's why our UI team focuses on legibility and visibility in the game. We have recently added features such as a movement log, dynamic piece tracking, toggleable 3D coordinates, and colour-coded move indicators—ensuring players always have a clear tactical view across all levels.

As always - we welcome your feedbacks if there is any visibility issues within the game!

Notation has been fixed to account for skipped moves whilst keeping the order number legible.
Logs now show active pieces and their move patterns in their position.
Board coordinates toggle-able ON/OFF and Auto


ChessFinity Demo is LIVE! 🎉

Hey everyone! 👋

We are a small indie dev team, and we’ve been working on ChessFinity, a game that reimagines chess with 3D movement, 4-player battles, and a unique Mana Chess mode. After a lot of development (and many late nights), our free demo is finally live on Steam! 🎉

🔗 Play the demo here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3463010/ChessFinity_Demo/?beta=1

What Makes ChessFinity Different?

✅ 3D Gameplay – Move pieces across multiple levels for new strategic depth.
✅ 4-Player Chess – Play 2v2 battles with layered boards.
✅ Mana Chess Mode – A strategy game twist where you summon pieces with mana like a deck-builder.
✅ Modded Mode – Customize the board, pieces, and mechanics for a new way to play.

We’d love to hear your thoughts—what do you think of the game so far? Feedback, suggestions, and first impressions are all super valuable to us!

Thanks for checking it out, and if you like it, please wishlist it on Steam—it really helps small devs like us. 🙏
