Slides from Minnebar 2025

Once again this year at Minnebar, I organized a Gamedev Microtalks session. We had 10 presenters, so I told everyone they had 2-4 minutes to talk. (We only went a few minutes over our 45 minutes!)

My talk was a bit about how I’m remaking Action Chess, but mostly it was about the chess glyphs, and how I’m embedding a bunch of fonts so they’ll be available for use in the app.

Probably they’re not super useful without my commentary, but here are the slides I put together for the talk:

Chess Variants at Minnebar 2025

I am showing some Chess variants at Minnebar this year. (Today, as I write this!)

There are two (kinda 3) games:

  • Chess Cubes (both a Chess & Checkers version)
  • ChessXGo

I am planning on selling sets for both of these, but I didn’t really get my shit together enough to have any information about this at the table. If you are at all interested in hearing more about this endeavor, please get in touch by sending me an email:

If you see me at the conference, please also say hi!
