Building the node-based WebGL app @polygonjs
- Try it: Making Games, next up is Chess Twist

[Guillaume Fradin @fradingue]

How about a tool that gave you:
💎procedural scene creation like @sidefx houdini
☊ geometry nodes like @blender #b3d
🔥 event system like @UnrealEngine blueprint
🌟 exports to #webgl
🚀 built on top of @threejs
🔌integrations coming soon w/ @webflow @vuejs @reactjs + more

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!

@finchinspace thank you. And yes, that's correct. Electron for desktop/steam, and also capacitor for iOS/android

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.

[Guillaume Fradin @fradingue]

I'll have a couple days before and after the festival to visit Tokyo. And I've never been, so any tips are very welcome.

[Guillaume Fradin @fradingue]

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.

@garrettkjohnson @vsaitoo @jo_chemla @phoenixbf @liberostelios @lojjic @jaillot @arobertlong hey @garrettkjohnson - I rely a whole lot on your other libraries, but I don't remember using 3DTilesRendererJS. Unless it was a while ago and my memory is failing me?

[Guillaume Fradin @fradingue]

This puzzle is pretty tricky. Still available for 2 hours. The next one is a little easier.

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?

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

[Guillaume Fradin @fradingue]

There is almost a fractal aspect about them.

It's really the kind of option where I now wonder why I didn't do it earlier.

[Guillaume Fradin @fradingue]

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

[Guillaume Fradin @fradingue]

Just stumbled on a biiig reddit thread about minesweeper twist.

Very glad to see it played in the wild.

[Guillaume Fradin @fradingue]

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

[Guillaume Fradin @fradingue]

And the demo is here for you if you happen to be in a boring meeting on a Monday

I thought the peeps at r/anarchyChess were a bunch of savages, before they really are lovely folks!

They had nice things to say about Chess Twist🙏
