Hey guys!

Turns out the changes I did to the <explosive> affix of monsters caused a nasty problem resulting in an instant crash when they died. I'm really sorry about that! Luckily, it is now fixed with this version.

Also, a very kind person here on the Steam community has agreed to assist me in testing builds in order to fix the permanent dungeon & save removal bug. Together we shall squash it very soon.

Thanks!


This time the update notes will fit:

Version 0.43.1
Fixes:
  • Fixed random crashing to desktop without error. It was the <Explosive> monsters. Blew up the entire game.

Hey guys!

Another update is here, and this time I've added 16 new passive skills (4 per class) and changed the skill tree layouts a bit, granting you some more interesting things earlier on. Some skills have also been changed, and you'll also find some new sound effects here and there!

I've also updated the sound system a little, adding a little extra effect to it! Your characters will now also comment on certain areas in the game, giving them a little character, so to speak.

You will also find that all your skill points have been reset - this is because of all the new stuff. Nothing is lost, however!

I've also done some changes to the file system, possibly taking care of some issues with persistent dungeons across saves and the inability to delete unwanted characters. If you're one of the unlucky players who got that bug, please let me know if this update fixes it for you! Otherwise I'll just have to keep working on it.

Thanks for reporting the bugs of the previous build! You guys did great, as always.

Oh, and Unstable Dimensions now only spawn elites.
Good luck :-)

Hey guys!

I got a bit carried away with this update - so this is the largest small update I've ever released! I can't even fit the whole update notes in the announcement, so you can read them here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/375480/discussions/0/541907675755502652/

With this update I've added a bunch of new areas to the existing chapters, many new accessory items, a few quests, and much more!

I've also done many changes to monsters, difficulty, many spells - and of course fixed a ton of issues. There's also a new menu option to reset your progress, should you want to do another clear of the game with your character.

Leveling pace for new characters is also much faster until level 5, then it resumes as normal. Just so you get to that next skill tier fast :)

Some of the community suggestions I've added this time is: use left stick on gamepad to navigate menus etc, player level visible on HUD, more responsive movement, and able to hover the mouse over dropped items for some info (can be disabled).

As always, thanks for reporting all those pesky bugs to me - keep them coming and I'll keep squashing.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one!
I'm off to begin work on Act 3 :D

Hey guys!

It's been the most exciting year of my life, and this community has played a large part in making it so. I want to thank everyone for supporting me in chasing my dream to become a game developer, and wish you all a Happy New Year!
Let's hope that the next one is just as exciting!


The Future
Recently there has been a large amount of let's plays popping up on YouTube, and they're all excellent. Take a look:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_sort=video_date_uploaded&filters=week&search_query=chronicon

Pretty awesome!

This has also brought many issues to my attention and as such, you can expect a new update in a week or so which will make the lower levels a bit faster in pace and flesh out the early areas a bit. For example the rather massive Lower Temple Halls will receive a makeover and be less of a grind to get through!

You can also expect a bunch of new items.. this time I've given the accessories some love.

After that I shift my focus to the next major content update. That is, the much anticipated act 3! There will also be an inventory and equipment revamp somewhere around this update.

If any issues arise in the meantime I will be sure to fix them with small updates whenever possible, as I usually do!

After that, in no particular order, the following major items are on my list:
  • Act 4
  • Act 5
  • Puzzles & traps
  • Skill modifying system
  • Improved questlog and quests
  • Some form of additional/alternative gameplay to the story (secret things!)

Along with maaaany smaller things. The future is bright! (And busy!)

Thank you again, and I'll see you next year.
