Life update: Moved to San Francisco to build Nilo, now a @a16z@speedrun backed company with a 1M pre-seed round.
Nilo is on a journey to make game creation faster, more joyful, and more accessible.
And what a journey, I couldn't be more grateful🙏
Sharing more details soon!
Just realised that all my 3 games ( Chess Twist + Checkers Twist + Minesweeper Twist ) are shown on @tokyo_game_show steam page. Not only that, but they're in multiple tags/categories 🙏 https://t.co/x8bXSZDGGx - We installed the stands today, so many other cool games to try.
Taking off to Tokyo today for @tokyo_game_show where my game Chess Twist got selected🙌
If you're nearby and want to chat anything Chess, @threejs, @polygonjs, proceduralism or games/3D in general, come and say hi. I'll be at the booth A75 in the indie section.
I've added puzzles to Chess Twist ♟️
I hope this makes it easier to get a quick taste of how fun those twisted boards can be. If you're into mind-bending puzzles that is
This one is an easy one. You play as black and have 1 move to checkmate
Can you see how?

You can find daily puzzles on

I've had a few reports of levels in Minesweeper Twist with very few mines. It was due to a bug the internal solver that ensures levels can be completed with logic only and no luck.
Debugging this can be tricky, so here I generate many levels to check they're still challenging
A couple of people suggested adding symmetric boards to Chess Twist.
I initially declined, and gave the reason that asymmetry is more fun and does not put one player at an advantage
But the idea stayed so I decided to at least test it. And turns out the boards look really nice
update #1 on Chess Twist, after the very kind & constructive feedback players took the time to share.
Thanks a lot to you all! 🙏
- board is more muted, easier to read
- tutorial is more obvious
- castling now possible even if you've been in check
