Chrono Ark Story: Fate
Hello, fellow Arkers!
We have made a lot of progress on the storyline.

The storyline of Chrono Ark Story: Fate is carried out in a way that two of the main characters ‘Lucy’ and ‘Azar’ develop their own stories.
The Chrono Ark Story: Fate update will feature ‘Azar’’s story.


We’ve been brainstorming many ideas regarding the storyline since the early development of Chrono Ark, which has consisted of many sleepless nights spent planning how each character would play out in accordance with the main storyline.
We drew inspiration from 'Danganronpa' and have learned a lot from its unique story-oriented gameplay.
You may find some resemblances to it along your Chrono Ark journey.
However, we focused on developing our own vibe into the game since Chrono Ark has more dynamic features.






There will be around 10 episodes including the Prologue in Chrono Ark Story: Fate. This update will only include the Prologue.
We also have polished the previous storyline to make it more interesting.
Due to this decision, all storyline progress will be reset.



The Meaning Behind Chrono Ark’s Story
We are aiming to develop Chrono Ark as a game worth purchasing for its storyline.
Many of the added features, including Hope Mode, were intended to lower any difficulties so that players could instead focus on the storyline.
Don’t worry, the storyline will not interfere with the immersiveness of Chrono Ark’s roguelike features.
We still deeply believe that Chrono Ark is a roguelike video game.



About Roguelike
There will be new playable characters, addition and improvement of building type objects, new stages, and challenges once the storyline is added to the game.
This update has been delayed due to creating a completely new system for Chrono Ark Story: Fate, as well as new illustrations of many characters.
Now that the foundation is complete to some extent, we are expecting to work more efficiently regarding following updates.

Scenario
"Linuj" has joined our team as a scenario writer.

New Character Teasers
Characters will be released next Monday, Wednesday and Friday before the update!

Hello, Fellow Arkers!
Chrono Ark EA v1.55 has arrived!




Three new faces have officially joined the Investigation Team!





Bomb Clown



Casual difficulty has been removed and Hope mode has been added.

'Hope Mode' is a new mode that allows you to enjoy the Chrono Ark less stressful.
To put it simply, even if the party is completely destroyed, your progress will not be lost.
In the hope mode, after your party is wiped out, the 'hope level' increases and your party member's stat increases significantly depending on the character level.
Annihilation makes your party stronger, and it makes much easier to clear game.

Changes from the Beta

• Selena, Helia, Johan, and Bomb Clown must be unlocked in game to encounter.
  
  Quest NPC 'Sir Dorchi' was added.
  
• Skill Illustrations, Effects, and Achievements of the new Investigation Team Members have been added.
  
• Unlockable items for the new Investigation Team Members, Alice’s Gift, Sun Shard, and Moon Shard have been added.
  
• All character lines have been translated.
  
• Some UI improvements have been made.

Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where a save file disappears after the Quicksave with Selena and Helia.
Helia: Bugs for 'Black sun' have been fixed
Other minor bugs fixed

Improvements
Added the backup feature for the save files.
Now Chrono Ark’s save data will be saved by the hourly time frame!
There is a bug where some save data is removed due to an unidentified reason.
The bug happens extremely rarely, and we couldn’t fix it yet since we had a hard time collecting detailed enough feedback about how this bug exactly takes place.
We decided to make the game save the user data temporarily until we fix this bug completely.
