In the past few weeks, a series of patches have collectively included the the following changes:

Misc:

  • Mac and Linux versions are available (since about 8/29).
  • Colorblind mode for r/g blindness.
  • Some changes clarifying the purpose of various UI elements.


Bugfixes:

  • Very minor graphical bug fixes.
  • Fixed a bug that caused CPU opponents to get stuck "Thinking..." in certain conditions.
  • Fixed bugs that caused the game to get stuck "Looking..." in certain conditions. All known causes of this bug are addressed in the current version.


New variants:
The community has developed some very sharp lines on the Standard board. Tired of losing to (0T5)Qf3>>x(0T1)f7+? Join the official Discord 5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel Discord and try to develop a defense, or discuss the newly added variants and weigh in on which might be the new Standard for competitive play.

  • Standard - Defended Pawn
  • Standard - Princess (featuring a new type of Queen w/ only rook+bishop movement).
  • Standard - Turn Zero
  • Standard - Two Timelines


Upcoming Content Update:
A larger content patch is currently in development, which will feature clocks for online and local matches, more non-standard pieces, as well as variants and puzzles featuring these pieces and other interesting situations and challenges.
