This is source code and where can I download game binary ?

https://chaosus.itch.io/modern-shogi - Its better to download directly through itch.io client

Is this game free ? What kind of License ?

Yes its completly free(except some assets - see LICENSE for more information). You can create your derivative work or contribute to main project. Source code is licensed under MIT license. If you want to help developer you can subscribes to my patreon - (https://www.patreon.com/chaosus).

Why is this game is free ?

As its my first big project, I wanted to make this game free to all other shogi fans + I cannot compete with big shogi creators such as 81dojo or UNBALANCE corp. unless making it free.

Which languages in-game will be supported ?

English and Russian. I wish to support Japanese and Chinese in future.

What kind of shogi game types is supported now ?

Classic 9x9 shogi for now(with several handicaps). But I plan to add more variants of shogi later.

What kind of gameplay options game currently have ?

You can play against AI, other player on same computer, view replays(in KIF format) or play with other players through master server.

What about AI ?

Game can use YaneuraOu engine(https://github.com/yaneurao/YaneuraOu) and evaluation book Elmo(https://github.com/mk-takizawa/elmo_for_learn) (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0XpI3oPiCmFalVGclpIZjBmdGs) - latest version from 2018/5. You should download them or compile yourself if you want to develop AI. Place them in "engines" folder in exported binary folder and/or Godot engine binary folder.

Why do you use Godot ? Why not Unity or Unreal Engine 4 ?

Unity have an ugly and small UI interface, and C# API in Unity is ugly too. UE4 is overcomplicated and does not have comfortable(for me) script language. Godot gives me required level of power from box.
