10/24/24 - Chaos Chain Update 1.58.1

Chaos Chain


Attention, freelancers!

Here is the next update for the game. Check out the full change log below!

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

[h2]BETA Update 1.58.1 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:
  • FIXED certain branch cancel elements from not working in choice option menus (Please let me know if you encounter any issues with this - this has been a problem in the past and I keep improving upon this system, but it seems like it may still has rare cases of weirdness happening even after all these changes and fixes so keep me posted please and thank you!)


Changes & Additions:
  • Updated some dialogues
  • Base feature points in character creation are now set to 5 instead of 3 but you only get 10 points to spend instead of 18 (Min/Maxing is still possible but it should be a little more balanced now and the idea is to have characters be a little more "rounded")
  • Added some new randomized ambient sound effects
  • Added some new flavor items and text
  • Added some new icon art images
  • Sped up text line display time by ommitting more special characters from the delay logic
  • Added some new randomized dialogues for various generic NPC types
  • Various minor tweaks and adjustments

[h2]BETA Update 1.58.0 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:
