Demo Patch 31/01/2025

First of all I'd like to say a sincere thank you to everyone that has played the game so far, and everyone who's reported bugs. It really helps me improve the quality of the game. I'll continue to update the demo with bug fixes and will likely do a bit of a content refresh/ update for steam next fest, so stay tuned!

Known issues:

• 1 turn checkmates with buffalo and camels
• AI issues recognising the courtesan
• issues where you are able to move out of an enemy dragon king's check
• Issues with the chess ai level not saving properly between games/ play sessions
• The stats page may have issues correctly showing the badges you've used
• the atomic badge now lets you move yourself into check - It doesn't break the game, but your opponent will take your king and send you to a gameover
