Hello Monster Tamers and Farmers!

The time has come for the massive pre-1.0 release (just to double check compatibility and bugs). With this update comes quite a few changes.

Price Reduction:
Steam: $14.99usd -> $9.99usd
Mobile Android/Apple: $9.99usd -> Free to try and $4.99 unlock full game

The reason for the price drop is to stay competitive (but let's be honest, there are a ton of AMAZING games for $15) and I felt although Chronomon has a ton of content, that it was only fair for the price to reflect the experience. On another note, Chronomon has not done that well in terms of sales, the customer is always right and with the reduction i'm hoping more people will give it a try.

Current News:

Multiplayer -I would like to be as transperant as possible. I have spent the last few months working on the live multi-player. It still needs more work but in reality, I'm not sure that adding it in anymore will be feasible (server-costs). As much as I want to keep going, Chronomon just isn't doing well enough to justify the costs that are going into it. HOWEVER, if the new update and 1.0 go well I will 100% continue it.

Status of Multiplayer: A ton of it is already done and working, realistically players could join granted I didn't allow player 2 to leave the farm. The issue is the world spawns, cutscenes and syncing the towns. Everything else is ready to go. Turns out multi-player is a massive amount of work.

1.0 Release:

This will be the final pre-release before 1.0. I want to make absolutely certain that all bugs are tackled and most importantly, the controller feels natural. This has been by far the hardest thing to tackle coming from being a mobile dev only.

Update Log:

(Kinda massive)
