Hey everyone!

Chaos Chain Supporter Pack 4 is now available for players who want to help me out and continue to have more community requests fulfilled while I continue working on the main game! Remember, I try to keep the base price of the game low but these extra support packs basically act as "tips" for me while working and help with keeping the lights on. If you read my previous post here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1536730/view/503977720511726080?l=english, this is why I decided to release this additional pack.

"Exclusives:

"Fanatic" - Exclusive title for your character to be known as that can be accessed through the PDA item in the inventory!

1x Extra Skill Point - Knowledge goes a long way in the sprawl. Get ahead of the curve with 1 free skill point!

Extras:

1x Molotov - An improvised incendiary bomb that can cause some serious damage!

2x Water Bottles - Clean, mostly purified water is hard to come by in the sprawl!

1x Antibiotics - A bottle of medicine for curing sickness, invaluable!

1x Steel Helmet - An old school steel helmet is nothing to scoff at, it might just save your life!

1x Memory Chip - An extra memory chip which allows you to save the game anytime and anywhere you wish!

25x Cred - Cred is the currency in Chaos Chain, needed for just about anything and everything!"

You can find it here:

Attention, freelancers!

Hey everyone.

So, for those of you who read my last status update, you know that my whole living situation, world, and life are kind of in limbo right now. This HAS NOT CHANGED unfortunately. I'm trying to get that situation sorted - it should only be a few more days max, hopefully. But, I really wanted - needed - to get some work done on something I care about.

With that said, today I spent pretty much my entire day just working on things for the game to put SOMETHING out because I haven't been able to get much done work-related for a few weeks and it's been kind of driving me insane and making me depressed. Among everything else going on doing so as well. Once I can FINALLY get settled into my new living arrangements (that were supposed to be all set as of over 2 full weeks ago), I can really start getting back into the development of the game and moving forward with my life.

So, here's an update for the game that I put together today. I realize it's a small update, and there are some random things in here, but they were all things that I had written down at one time or another to get done. So, I kind of picked a few things that seemed doable for me today amid all of the problems that I'm currently dealing with - such as sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag, not really sleeping, not having a real living situation at the moment due to circumstances beyond my control, splitting with my significant other after almost 10 years, moving across country, leaving behind a bunch of my belongings including my vehicle, etc. It's been and still is a bad situation that I just needed - and still need - out of. I'll keep everyone updated as the situation hopefully gets better or maybe worse as has been the latest trend.

Anyways, here you go.
