Hey Trailmakers!

We just pushed a small hotfix out for the Mirror Mode update with a couple of fixes for some pressing issues.

- Fixed the trees that were not correctly being rendered in Stranded in Space when using Jobified Rendering.
- Fixed a bug with Mirror Mode that caused blocks in the Mirror Plane being duplicated to mirror incorrectly.

We have a slightly larger hotfix coming later in the week to fix some more known issues, but we want to spend a bit more time getting these fixes ready first! Thanks to everyone for playing the Mirror Mode update, and those of you who have dived into the High Seas Expansion!

Do you want to battle on the go? Soon you can!

Android version is currently under testing and soon to be released!

Hidden by the soft cloudy whiteness is a world where floating islands are home to great schools for young magical creatures from five realms. Cute little red dragons, clumsy pink fairies, spiteful yellow gnomes, small blue unicorns, and green frogs who dream of becoming princes show up at the gates of schools, with the hope of being admitted to the great hall and being able to admire the famous professors of their realm.


In Eriantys, a game full of strategy, tactics, and twists and turns, you run one of these four great schools and compete with other wizards to increase your fame! Carefully plan your moves and try to control your opponents' moves. On your turn, play a card, place three students, and advance mother nature a certain number of steps across the islands. The island on which mother nature lands is evaluated, and whoever controls it can erect one of their own towers, possibly taking control from an opponent. Additionally, adjacent islands controlled by the same player can merge with that one.


The game ends if only three islands remain, if the students run out, or if a player builds all of their towers. At this point, the player who built the most towers wins.



With three different game modes, including team play, Eriantys always offers different and interesting games. In addition, if you play with the expert version, you can use the fantastic skills of the special characters; each adds many possibilities, enriching the fun and beauty of the challenge.

Version 0.4.6 has officially left the beta branch and is now in the stable branch! We'd like to thank everyone who downloaded the beta and provided feedback and bug reports.

Our next major update will be Hero Pack #3, introducing 3 new wanderer heroes into the fray.

You do not need to unsubscribe from the beta branch if you are currently using it, as both beta and stable branches have been updated.

Now, on to the details of the major new features from the previous stable version of 0.3.10. We previously outlined these features in a developer update, but we'll go over them again here if you missed it. A changelog specifically for version 0.4.6 is at the bottom of this post.



One of the most frequent things we've heard from players is that the game tends to involve too much "grinding" to find the appropriate skill books to level up, and to acquire the relics you most want to use. It would be much more fun to just play the game, using the various heroes available as best you can, and make progress as you go!

To address this, we've removed all the various skill book types except for Encyclopedia (which has a heavily reduced drop rate), and added a new system for leveling up skills. Heroes will instead earn skill points through 3 different methods:

• Defeating bosses for the first time to earn a Boss Badge
  
• Earning XP in battles like a traditional RPG
  
• Completing specific Hero Quests

You can then spend the skill points to level up skills, even mid-mission. This system also serves to help us level out the difficulty curve from Act 1 to Act 2, since you'll be steadily earning skill points instead of getting books in small dumps. Several bosses have received updates or overhauls to better match the new difficulty curve; some are now a bit easier, and some a bit harder.

Every hero has 3 unique quests that, when completed, award them skill points and another new feature: an Infinite Relic. Claire also has several quests tailored for her various forms.



By completing the relevant quests, hero-specific relics can now become infinite. Infinite relics can be duplicated as many times as you want for free, allowing you more freedom to bind them to any hero you'd like.

Boss relics, shop relics, and relics found only via missions will still need to be either found or crafted, but this also serves to make them a bit more special, and will allow us to add a few more of them as well.




Another point of feedback has been that the building upgrades aren't as interesting as they could be, they cost too much, and there's too many options presented at once. Now that particles don't need to be spent primarily on acquiring skill books and relics, a larger focus will be on purchasing building upgrades.

We've reduced the cost of the building upgrades in general, and reworked many of them to provide more interesting effects that add more "flavor" to various damage types or situations. In addition, instead of purchasing the buildings, they will be unlocked via a town progress bar that increases as you rescue and level up new heroes. This also further serves to incentivize trying out new heroes and completing their quests.

The Town Progress bar also unlocks other things over time, such as Time Break techs, additional reserve and bundle slots, and Skill Points for Claire.



Endless mode has also received a facelift. It will now work similarly to Singularity mode, in that each level will present a set of specific challenges, instead of simply increasing the levels of the enemies. Defeat the final challenge, and you might even find something special!

Speaking of Singularity mode, heroes in that mode will also now earn XP like they do in Chronicle. This allows for a bit more creativity when choosing your rewards after the battle, since encyclopedias won't be quite as important to take.



With the overhaul to Endless mode, wanderer hero rescues have now been moved to a new Special Missions feature. At certain times, Quinn will present Special Missions aside the main story to earn special rewards. These are short custom-crafted missions with unique encounters, leading to a reward. Right now these are all rescues of a Wanderer hero, but we have some plans for other special missions in the future.




We've also added quite a few quality of life and other requested features, such as an Auto Battle option, a Battle Log, hover info on battle icons, party menu improvements, some improved interface features specifically for mouse users, and various other little things.

The following is a list of changes from the previous 0.4.5b beta branch version.

• Fixed bug where overlapping enemy sprites were sometimes not hidden properly when taking damage
  
• Fixed Samurai's Sword Tech skills being usable at less than 100% charge
  
• Fixed town upgrades based on Boss Badge progress not applying properly to Claire's sub-forms
  
• Fixed Ka being able to use Takedown without level 3 Sabertooth on Caveman
  
• Fixed Paladin's Oaths not being swappable after being rescued in Singularity mode
  
• Fixed enemy Toxic Spores skill not being resistable
  
• Fixed Pursuer's PR3D Missile not resetting charge between battles
  
• Addressed a possible rare soft-lock issue related to taunt skill in the Big Blob boss fight
  
• Reduced the number of enemy kills needed for two of Medbot's quests
  
• Town vendor now has one guaranteed slot for non-hero relics and one for single use bundle items
  
• Fixed Forest Heart boss' animations breaking during later phases
  
• Adjusted Forest Heart boss' lost turn type spore effects to be less punishing and limited in number
  
• Kraken boss can now only summon 2 tentacles at a time instead of 3, and tentacles have a little less HP

Hey everyone!

We've decided to split the DLC from the update we were working on alongside it, so we're releasing the update immediately, and the DLC early next year. Originally we planned to bundle the two and release them both before christmas, but looking at where we are, we wouldn't be able to get things to a level of quality we are happy with on time. The DLC is 99% done, but that last 1% is always the most important and time consuming one!

This being our first DLC release, we really want to get it right, and do right by everyone who loves and supports Chronicon. We hope you will find it worth the wait!

In the meantime, we've updated the DLC store page with some fresh new screenshots, and we'll have a lot more to share on the DLC and future content in the next year!

Have a look:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1599010/Chronicon__Ancient_Beasts/


Anyway, on with the 1.31.0 update!

There are some significant fixes and tweaks, which is why we decided to release it a bit earlier.
In particular, some balancing changes to boss health and damage in Anomalies (we expect to need to tune this further based on your feedback), as well as tweaks and fixes to some weird item and skill interactions. In particular, Crown of Innate Possibilities double dipped on Mastery and item/power-boosted procs, so if you find that this has impacted your build a lot, do let us know, as we suspect the item may need need some tweaks after this fix.

As always, thanks for your reports and suggestions, and please let us know if any issues pop up and we'll get right on that.

Thanks, hope you enjoy!
