12/6/25 - Chaos Chain Update 1.89.0 (Barter / Loot Update Part 2 / Compression)

Chaos Chain

Attention, freelancers!

First off, this is update 198 for the game. Hoooooooly Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-

As promised, here's part 2 of the barter and loot update! I added 13 new valuable loot items that you can find and sell for a good boost to your CCred while exploring Slade City Sprawl. Some of them will obviously be worth more than others and some will be significantly more valuable than others, but I think with these item additions and with the changes from the first part of the update (increased loot percents, more merchants/vendors who will trade instead of just selling stuff, more money by default gained from credsticks, etc), that this will make progression - in terms of equipment and upgrades - much more enjoyable. Looting will also be more enjoyable I think now since you can find more and better loot.

I also compressed the game files (as well as my other games, those updates have already been released!) and reduced the game size by 60 (yes, SIXTY) percent! Woohoo!

Check out the full change log below!

*Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.*

[h2]BETA Update 1.89.0 Change Log:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

FIXED an incorrect carry weight for a couple items (They said they weighed more than they actually did, the numbers now are identical - the weight stayed on what they said in the description box as those were the correct values)


Changes & Additions:

Asset normalization and file compression (All mp3 and wav files have been converted to ogg format - this has reduced the file size but almost 60% of the original size!!! --- This also helps make the game run even smoother --- A fresh install will remove the old and unnecessary files and free up a bunch of space! 
****YES, OLD SAVES STILL WORK JUST FINE***** --- this method WILL BE OR ALREADY IS being applied to my other RPGs and those updates either are already or will be available soon)
