Hello, Fellow Arkers!
Chrono Ark EA v1.55 has arrived!


[h2]Selena & Helia[/h2]

[h2]Johan[/h2]


Three new faces have officially joined the Investigation Team!



[h3]New Boss[/h3]
Bomb Clown


[h3]New mode 'Hope mode'[/h3]

Casual difficulty has been removed and Hope mode has been added.

'Hope Mode' is a new mode that allows you to enjoy the Chrono Ark less stressful.
To put it simply, even if the party is completely destroyed, your progress will not be lost.
In the hope mode, after your party is wiped out, the 'hope level' increases and your party member's stat increases significantly depending on the character level.
Annihilation makes your party stronger, and it makes much easier to clear game.

Changes from the Beta

• Selena, Helia, Johan, and Bomb Clown must be unlocked in game to encounter.
  
  Quest NPC 'Sir Dorchi' was added.
  
• Skill Illustrations, Effects, and Achievements of the new Investigation Team Members have been added.
  
• Unlockable items for the new Investigation Team Members, Alice’s Gift, Sun Shard, and Moon Shard have been added.
  
• All character lines have been translated.
  
• Some UI improvements have been made.
  

Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where a save file disappears after the Quicksave with Selena and Helia.
Helia: Bugs for 'Black sun' have been fixed
Other minor bugs fixed

Improvements
Added the backup feature for the save files.
Now Chrono Ark’s save data will be saved by the hourly time frame!
There is a bug where some save data is removed due to an unidentified reason.
The bug happens extremely rarely, and we couldn’t fix it yet since we had a hard time collecting detailed enough feedback about how this bug exactly takes place.
We decided to make the game save the user data temporarily until we fix this bug completely.

Improving
-Selena & Helia's illustrations completed
-Completed some of Helia's Skill effects.
-Selena & Helia's lines added (Korean priority applied.)

Bug fixes
-Fixed a bug where the Bomb Clown added too many time bombs under certain conditions.

Hello, Fellow Arkers!
We’re here to announce that Chrono Ark EA v1.55 Beta has finally arrived!



Johan
Johan utilizes his fixed ability to constantly deal damage to enemies. Johan is an attack-oriented Investigation Team member who becomes stronger with more skills in hand.

Selena & Helia
Selena and Helia are twins who each use the magic of Moon and Sun.
They cannot be recruited alone, but only recruited at the start of the game when you select your first Investigation Team party.
Since they are characters who are always together, most of their skills include chain effects that are linked with each other.

Storyline Progress
We are continuing to add the last touches to the story.
We thought solely working on the story might delay keeping the game up to date, so we decided to add new content to the game first.
We now have 17 playable Investigation Team members up from 14!

It’s time to learn about each character’s past.
We have developed the main storyline which includes at least 5 hours of gameplay. The story does not feature the current roguelike style gameplay.
We have decided to pre-release some characters from the main storyline.


“I am Silverstein, the executive officer of Wild Cain, a multi-industry company.”
“Explain more so that I can understand!!”
“Huh!? There’s no way I trust your unreliable words!!”


“Do you believe in God?”
“It is my mission to lead a lost little lamb.” *smile*
“We are the only ones around here. There is no way out.”


“A-… aren’t we friends?”
“I- I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s all their fault...”
“I don’t- don’t wanna die… I don’t wanna die.”


“As for me, I'm the legendary bird, Phoenix!”
“Who’s the rat hiding their true identity?” *chuckle*
“I’m helping you! Don’t you trust me?”
