Christmas Cross-Content Update

[p]So if you noticed that there have been about a dozen updates in the last 24 hours, that's because I've been working on two things.[/p][p]The first is a glitch where menus wouldn't reset after exiting a loaded Skirmish. That's been fixed.[/p][p][/p][p]But the second, and the real reason I've had to push about a dozen updates or so in the last day, is because I'm happy to announce a new mechanic for my games called Cross-Content.[/p]
What Is Cross-Content?
[p]Cross-Content is an experimental feature I'm rolling out today where owning one cGh ONE game in your Steam Library will unlock additional content in other cGh ONE games.[/p][p]For example, if you own Tyrannis: Co-Prosperity or Infinite Voyager, Cross-Content would allow you to unlock additional maps in Tyrannis, and vice-versa.[/p][p]Also it wasn't my first pick for a name, but my that one was taken by an Adult Entertainment company, so that wasn't an option.[/p]
How Does Cross-Content Work?
[p]Cross-Content works by having the files for two or more cGh ONE games installed in the same folder. When loading up a game, the game will automatically detect any other cGh ONE games and unlock the relevant Cross-Content in the game you're currently playing.[/p][p][/p][p]For example, you'll want to have Steam save your files Tyrannis and Tyrannis: Co-Prosperity installed in the same location. Once you load up Tyrannis, the game will detect that Tyrannis: Co-Prosperity is installed. If Co-Prosperity is detected, an icon in the lower right-hand corner will be highlighted to indicate that the game is present in your library, which will unlock the relevant Cross-Content.[/p][p]Note that if you do not have Co-Prosperity, the icon will still appear but it will not be highlighted.[/p][p]Once the Cross-Content from Tyrannis: Co-Prosperity has been unlocked, you will be able to play with it in Tyrannis.[/p]
Cross-Content in Tyrannis
[p]By owning and having Tyrannis: Co-Prosperity installed in your Steam Library, you will unlock the forty maps in Tyrannis' Skirmish Mode. These maps can be selected like any other map, so long as you have access to them.[/p][p]From here, these maps play like any map Tyrannis' base game.[/p][p][/p]
Cross-Content and the Future
[p]At the moment, the only Cross-Content between Tyrannis and Tyrannis: Co-Prosperity is unlocking the latter's map in the former.[/p][p]While this is relatively low-priority (at least compared to developing Infinite Voyager and job hunting), I plan on adding more Cross-Content in the future as a "Thank You" to all of you who've bought more than one of my games.[/p]
Conclusion
[p]Anyways, that should do it for this update. I'm going to go enjoy the last hour or so of Christmas I have left. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays.[/p][p]-Chris "cGh ONE" Providence[/p][p]Sole human employee who gets worse healthcare than the dog I have as a mascot[/p][h3]Social Media[/h3][p]Web: https://cghone.com/[/p][p]Bluesky: @cghone.bsky.social‬[/p][p]YouTube: [dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Discord: https://discord.gg/B5TEdTkEzk[/p][p]Twitter: N/A[/p]
