Chaos Chain


Hey guys, I've been working hard on the next update and finally got around to adding in the hacking system feature into the game which allows you to hack into computer systems!



Check out the detailed guide below!

Besides the hacking system feature, there are also going to be new equipment and gear, fixes and improvements, the next sections of the main story, and more!

I am extremely tired as of writing this right now as I have been working on this system all week long with little to no breaks, so please forgive me for the short length of this post.

I'll have more info soon!

Chaos Chain


Salutations, dwellers...

Hey guys, here's another quick fix. Sorry about this one guys, this issues took a bit to find.

  • Fixed an issue with the popup text trying to dispose incorrectly


Changes & Additions:
  • Added a 60 frame (1 full second) forced wait period for the player to be able to move as the game is attempting to autosave to avoid issues


Please let me know of any bugs or issues you may encounter so I can fix them. The update will be available shortly.

That's all for now, enjoy!
