Hey mixx,

This looks pretty good so far! Just the only two things i'd comment on is that your going to have to make sure that the tower you made doesn't interfere with the other squares. It has those side towers on it, great idea, but the side towers are going to have to be taller than any other piece on the board so if there beside that player.. its not going to be an interference. I haven't read all the posts so im not sure if you've already got that under control. Also the other thing i was wondering is, you think you could take a picture of some concrete outside and use that as your texture? Maybe marble :O. I know the game your talking about, its awesome.. haha. Its even in starwars in the original ones, when there on the millenium falcon .

I don't know if you've figured out all of them already.. but these are what we call the pieces here in canada:

Pawn
Tower
Knight
Bishop
King
Queen

I really like the dark red glow you have under the knights visor right now, very cool . Keep it up!
