Demo Update #2
Hey hey. I'm still working on the feedback received from the demo last week. Pawn moves One that stood out was regarding the movement of the pawns. My initial reaction was not to change what was already in place, as it seemed to me to be working just fine. How pawns moved before? The way it worked was that the pawns would follow the exact same rules as classic chess, which is that they can only move forward.
