Miasma Chronicles - James505Games

Hey everyone, James here, Brand Community Manager at 505 Games and working on Miasma Chronicles.

This July, we delved deeper into the world and lore of New America – giving you a glimpse of the scale of the brothers' journey and more importantly, what’s at stake.

From the humble mining town of Sedentary, Elvis and Diggs will explore beyond the world they know. From the infamous Gator Zone to The DRC. The brothers will learn what caused the Miasma to appear and why Elvis was given that glove.

We’ll be sharing more info about Miasma Chronicles soon, so keep your eyes on our social channels. We’ll be seeing you.

Welcome to Sedentary - the only home the brothers know.

Exploration is key to understanding the effects Miasma has had on New America.

Ahh, the DRC - Dead Robot City - a beacon of light to those made out of steel and oil.

Important community update

Yacht Mechanic Simulator - dziadudziadu

Hi guys,

It’s Yacht’s main producer here. Day 1 was quite tough. We started with a positive attitude while launching the game but pretty soon it came clear that some things didn’t go well.

First of all, I’m sorry that we didn’t deliver the top quality on launch. We are a small team and it is safe to say that we were too confident with development process/testing. We tried to do our best but that doesn’t always work, right? We owe you an explanation and apologize to those of you who experienced serious issues with the game.

It seems that at least some of you experienced and are still experiencing major issues with our game. We are now focused on patching YMS. We are now compelling the list of crucial bugs, and soon we will enter the phase of fixing. That said:

You may expect patches coming your way. We are now working hard to deliver it as soon as possible. I want it to be properly tested and solid. This is our responsibility and we treat it very, very seriously. We owe you that and we fully recognize this fact.

With that said, I wanted to thank everyone who willingly contributed to our game. It is priceless that some folks spent their time talking to us and reporting to us. We are in your debt!!! And to all of you who play and enjoy the game, we are also so happy to see it.

We humbly accept negatives – we don’t blame anyone but ourselves. If you however like the game and you haven’t experienced any serious issues – your positive review would mean the world to us now. It would make our current work more meaningful.

Last but not least, please use this Steam forum thread if you want to report any technical/gameplay bugs: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1263620/discussions/1/3453716250587111209/

Thank you for your support!

Updating Development Plans!

Community Announcements - TinyTomato

Honored Magistrates!
We’ve just screened a new trailer during the F5 Games Show, giving everyone a glimpse of the new content that we’ve added to Ballads of Hongye during the most recent phase of development. If you missed out on the live broadcast, you can simply click the playback link below to view the trailer.

It’s been two months since we last gave you a progress update. Once we had released the June Demo and collated all of the very useful feedback we received, we planned out the next phase of the game’s development. It should almost go without saying just how much we appreciate all the feedback you gave us, but we’d like to say it all the same, we really couldn’t do this without you. Our latest plans include a great deal of content that is still under development and unfortunately wasn’t ready for inclusion in the latest trailer, so we still thought it would be fun to fill you in on a few details.

Dev Plans

Key Features:

-New gameplay elements: Hongye has various challenges and gameplay elements; providing a different and unique experiences at each level. The existing system also expanded with new gameplay mechanics such as "publicity campaigns" so you can immerse yourself in Hongye more while wearing the mantle of a ruler. You will order your workers to hang banners and posters and ride your horse to large avenues and give public speeches to spread your achievements to gain a positive standing with the citizens while improving the external reputation of Hongye county at the same time. Let your people know more about you and acknowledge your magnificent achievements in person.

-New advisers: Make your own cabinet of famous advisers to perfect your rule. The new famous advisers include but not limited to: Li Bai, the famous poet who is bold enough to refuse the emperor, or Mr. Wolong who is never afraid to take up responsibility. You may find famous and historical characters all over Hongye. Sometimes you will chase them, sometimes they will chase you and offer their services. Peasants might be content with peace alone but malevolent forces are always at work, so you have to pay attention to your relationship with advisers, managing their salary and happiness levels. They might become your guardian angels, help you mitigate the impact of scandalous events, or your harbingers of doom, by suing and taking you to court and ruining your reputation and disputing your claims.

-New disasters: Variety of disasters are improved. On top of previous urban and natural disasters, now there may be Tornado spanning the entire map, bringing in refugees and outlaws from eight different zones which may be affected by it. Your crisis management skills will be tested in a trial of fire. Devise your best strategy to turn the odds in your favor!

-New buildings: Refresh yourself at the "Leisure Square" while the sun is setting down, hit the "Soccer Field" to watch an exciting competition, browse through antiques and curiosities in the "Museum". Further decorate your city with a variety of flowers and sculptures, as well as new fantastic, spectacular buildings. Enjoy your vast catalog of constructables!

-Depth, improved story: During your advancements in Hongye county, you will discover clues and stories about people and places, piece together the past of Hongye and villainous forces that are still affecting it today. You will realize your true mission and identity as you move forward.

-Improved performance and optimization: More stable client and several improvements on optimisation. We are continuously working on bringing you the most stable, seamless experience.

In the comings days and weeks, we will be announcing a series of further updates, giving you dates for when you can expect to hear more about the content we’re working on, times when you’ll receive updates on our progress.
