Hi everyone,

I wanted to provide a quick status update on the next game update.

As you may recall from my previous announcement, I've been encountering some pretty serious computer issues. Unfortunately, these issues are still ongoing. Despite my extensive experience and education with Windows computers and troubleshooting, this particular problem has me stumped. I've exhausted all avenues for resolution that I can think of, and it's incredibly frustrating.

The affected computer is my personal one, but I frequently use it for work and often have it up and running on the side of my work computer at the same time. Resolving this issue is taking up a significant (like REALLY significant) amount of my time and energy. It's been three weeks of this.

Regarding the game update, I've been making steady progress and it's almost ready. However, I need a few more solid workdays to finalize and thoroughly test everything out. Releasing it prematurely would lead to unresolved issues and unfinished/broken content. I'm doing my best to balance this with the ongoing computer problems. I know some developers would just release it, especially since the game is in Early Access, and then fix it later, but I don't want to do that. It would cause to many other issues.

So, I know many of you are eagerly awaiting the update, and I apologize for the delay. I'm working as hard as I can to get everything completed and released.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi everyone,

I had originally planned to have an update out by tomorrow. Unfortunately, at the beginning of this week, Windows updates caused a major issue with my machine, and I've been troubleshooting and working on it literally all week. Luckily, I think I finally got it.

As of last night, it seems to be stable, but I'm still not entirely confident with it – although it has been fine today with no further noticeable problems. (Knock on wood) This evening in fact, I stress tested it for several hours and everything seems good to go. Hoping it remains this way.

Regarding the next update, I'm still working on two fairly large additions that will take some time to complete. I should be able to finish them next week if all goes well. I have A LOT of changes and improvements in this next update, so I'm really excited to get it out there for all of you to enjoy!

This update has also taken a bit longer - besides me having computer issues - because I've been experimenting with some new features that have been requested. I don't want to be specific about what they are just yet, in case I'm unable to implement them, and also because I wanted it to be a surprise. So far, I haven't found a way to add them that I'm happy with. I don't want them to feel tacked on, so I've been brainstorming different options, but I'm not satisfied with any of them at this point.

Either way, I will try to post more news next week on the next update, or hopefully just release it. You can look forward to some new quests, more Steam achievements, some new areas to explore, and much more!

Thanks for reading!

Hi everyone!

I wanted to provide a quick update on the development status of the next release.

Since the last update a few weeks ago, I've been working on some new additions and changes that I'm happy with. The next update is taking a bit longer than expected because I've also been performing maintenance and making improvements to some of my older projects. I've received reports and feedback on some issues that needed to be addressed, and I want to ensure continued support for those projects. I believe that if you release something publicly and charge for it, you have a responsibility to maintain it.

One thing I'm really excited to announce is that Chaos Chain is finally approved for Steam trading cards/community items and I'm just waiting for the green light to enable them! This took awhile to get set up, but I think it'll be cool to have - just as my other games do!

So, please be patient, and know that I am making progress on the update despite juggling multiple tasks. I am currently supported five games and an application, so it can get a bit overwhelming at times.

Thank you all for your continued support and patience!
