A small v2.0.2 update is out to fix a few bugs 🚀 Get it via https://deepgreen.app or on the App Store directly.

This will be the last version to support iOS 16, because v2.1 will build on features that were introduced in iOS 17.

How do you like the new dark/light app icons, btw?

Version 2.0.1 is now ready for download on the App Store! 🚀

Besides the nice iOS 18 icons shown in the previous post, there are a number of improvements and bug-fixes. Full change log can be found at https://deepgreen.app/changelog.

It’s still the plan to drastically improve the game rendering, closer to what version 1 was, but it’s complicated and still a little out. In the meantime, the contrast has been noticeably improved, particularly in Dark Mode.

I'm finishing up v2.0.1 to fix a number of bugs and update the app icon to support the new iOS 18 modes. And some other niceties. Happy...

🚀 Deep Green has re-launched! ✨

Seven short years after the previous update, version 2 marks a new era of Deep Green. This is a full rewrite on a modern architecture that can be built upon with even more exciting features in the months and years ahead.

Deep Green is now free. Still with no ads, no tracking, no analytics.

I hope you like it. Enjoy, #chess: https://deepgreen.app

Now, the current version is essentially built on the iPhoneOS 2 and 3 SDKs, more than a decade ago, and getting it to compile, let alone updating it to present iOS and App Store requirements will take forever and is not a good use of my time…

Guess that sets a deadline for version 2!

As a consequence, the feature set will be cut tight, as if it weren’t already, which still leaves me under heavy pressure.

The Deep Green 2 release is hereby aptly named “Reborn”.

A little bit of “exciting” news from me:

Apple has informed that Deep Green will be removed from the App Store, if it isn’t updated and approved within 90 days…
