Xadrez changelog

If you're one of the many who loved PSP homebrew developer Joao Bastos' 3D Chess game for the Sony PlayStation Portable, Xadrez, then you're in for a treat. The latest version, version 1.0 is now out and ready to be played, with a neat new feature that lets you play head-to-head via Ad Hoc support. Yes, you read that right - multiplayer Xadrez. Awesome.

What's new with this update, then? Well, besides being Joao Bastos' official entry into the Homebrew Idol contest, version 1.0 also yields an adjustable camera perspective that lets you view the action from all the angles. Handy for making sure that your ingenious battle plan won't be foiled by a piece hiding behind another piece, eh?

In any case, enjoy this very excellent current-gen interpretation of Chess. Be sure to read up on homebrew installation before you tinker around with things if you're new, however.

PSP homebrew developer Joao Bastos has just announced the release of his very first full game, titled Xadrez (Beta). This app is a 3d chess game for your PSP, and (quoting Joao) also carries specular highlights, stencil reflections, color blending.

All standard chess rules appear to follow, with players able to select either the black or white factions. The game AI is very simple, and just reacts based on the pawn's current position. An easy-to-pick-up game for the guys who'd like a quick chess match or two on their handhelds to kill time. Enjoy the download, and wait up in case Joao Bastos makes plans to update Xadrez.
