First of all, once again, thank you. Chained Echoes has crushed all our expectations already. With great success comes also a great amount of feedback. Here on Steam. On the Discord. On Twitter. On Facebook. Reddit. Even TikTok. We are overwhelmed. Thank you so much.
That also means we just can't answer every thread, every question, every tweet. We wish we could but that's just impossible right now. That's why we're writing this post, to let you know what we are currently working on.
Patches & Updates
While we had an extensive beta phase with the Kickstarter Backers, some issues we didn't find. In most cases the savegame and crash issues result from edgecases. We're reading all the steam threads and the messages on other platforms and we're currently fixing one issue after the other. Keep in mind that due to certification processes on consoles, console patches require some time to be released.
Additional Languages
We'll unlock Japanese probably next week on PC. Further languages are not planned at this moment. We know that there are quite a few of you requesting it in Chinese and Spanish. And while we would love to have these languages in the game, we need to make decisions based on numbers. Yes, both languages are the two most spoken languages on the planet, yet sales wise the territories are, especially for indie games, not doing too well. If Chained Echoes had less words, that'd be not a big deal but with more than 200.000 words, the situation is a different one.
Future Content Plans
Matthias is currently working on NG+ and some smaller Quality of Life improvements. Anything else, may it be a DLC or a Sequel... honestly, we haven't really thought about that just yet. Once we're finished with patching the critical issues you've found, we'll sit together and discuss possible options.
Firstly I want to say on behalf of us at OOC Games thank you so much for all your support so far!
The following bugs have been fixed!
- Holiday Ruin NPC movement fixed - KG's throwing force is a bit less intense - Turkey's ragdoll geometry reduced - Current held weapon gets updated in a next level/restart - Restart button available in pause menu
Thank you for your continuous support as we push and polish Thankskilling day for you all!
It is now always possible to choose “Obtain” on storage buildings.
Storage buildings set to "Obtain" in a district without a Hauling Post will display a warning.
Bugfixes
Fixed input boxes (such as the one used to rename a unit) that would not be focused right after opening.
Fixed several crashes.
Issues with macOS Ventura should now be fixed.

IMPORTANT REMINDER
Saves created on Update 2 and before are incompatible with Update 3. This sucks, yes, and we try to limit losing save compatibility to the minimum - but it’s not always possible. With the reworked storage system added in Update 3, it had to be done.
However, we have added Update 2 on a separate branch. This way, you're able to continue your U2 playthrough as long as you're fine with not having access to the U3 features. Please check this thread if you want to play on the Update 2 branch.

Hey guys, it's officially winter and so I thought bringing a small winter update to Dashpong would be cool ❄️
I've added a new Ice map and a new special mode called Gifts. In this mode, Santa crosses the map and drops gift. When you open the gift by dashing on it, you can either freeze the enemy, freeze your own goal (as a protection) or freeze the opponent's side, making it slippery. What comes out of the gift is random and applies automatically.
I've also added a new dynamic camera option! It's enabled by default but you can switch back to the static camera at anytime by toggling it off in the settings. I personnaly really like the new camera, it feels like you're in the game more.
I hope you'll enjoy this small update, and see you tomorrow for the Winter Sales! 🤑
Byyye 👋

Changes
Skill quests exp rewards scale with required item amount. Previously if you took skill quest which required 250 or 500 of the same item, exp reward per item was the same. Now higher amount awards more exp. Therefore it is more beneficial to take quests which require more items for completion. It will be applied to base exp calculation, therefore quest quality will multiply that. NB: Carpentry is not included into that formula

Arrow displayed on top of scavenger hunt chest Should make it easier to notice the chest in a crowded place.
