🚀 Deep Green has re-launched! ✨
Seven short years after the previous update, version 2 marks a new era of Deep Green. This is a full rewrite on a modern architecture that can be built upon with even more exciting features in the months and years ahead.
Deep Green is now free. Still with no ads, no tracking, no analytics.
I hope you like it. Enjoy, #chess: https://deepgreen.app
Some of the highlights in version 2 are:
- Refreshed UI and graphics updated to latest iOS look and feel
- Third generation Deep Green chess piece design in both 2D and 3D
- High-resolution 3D game rendering based on SceneKit
- Fluid animations and subtle touches during gameplay
- System sharing, copy/paste, import/export of games in PGN format
@deepgreen First of all, congratulations and thank you for the new release. Been a paid user since your first launch way back and it’s the first app I install on any new iOS device.
Secondly, could we please have the earlier version’s theme and pieces - at least as an option if not as default? Those pieces were one of the primary reasons I love Deep Green to pieces! Thanks in advance!
Hi @owlsays, thanks for your support.
As you may have heard, I was suddenly under tremendous time pressure to get v2 out. I’m not content with the current look either. It will definitely improve.
And as you may also have noticed, it’s no longer just pixels. Deep Green is now modelled in 3D, even in the 2D perspective. The pieces have been designed over a period of two years. At this point, it’s basically a matter of reworking lighting and material.
That’s an ongoing process. Hang on…
@deepgreen Thanks a lot. Appreciate your candid response. Look forward to the upcoming changes.
Also, thank you for creating something beautiful for iOS.
Deep Green
