Chaos Chain News

Salutations, freelancers...

Here is the next update for the game. I've been releasing improvements and fixes all week, and at this point, all the problems that I know of with the game are FIXED!!! Woohoo! I was supposed to be on vacation but wanted to get these solved, so here we go. Starting this coming week, I'll be back to adding new content such as quests and areas! Check out the change log below!

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

[h2]BETA Update 1.36.1 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

FIXED a few dialogue typos
FIXED some contextual action displays
FIXED consumable items (Drugs and nourishment items in this case - medical items worked a bit differently, not allowing you to select a companion to use them on with the keyboard or a controller and only working with a mouse)
FIXED Gutter Sludge Road Travel Event not working properly and never activating the battle associated
FIXED a really weird issue which caused certain items (Not ammo) to show their quantity being 1 higher than they actually were (Related to the ammo system)
FIXED a rare case which allowed states besides Shock to still be added even when the damage of an attack was 0 or less
FIXED Throw Debris skill not having the standard 10% base chance to add Shock


Changes & Additions:

Added battery packs to Akio's shop listings
Updated movement logic for some special effects when in large exterior areas
ALL consumable items have been updated so that they automatically refresh the target window for who you want to use them on (Previously, they did not always update the window until it was manually closed and then re-opened, this issue was present with nourishment and drug items)
Removed an error message popup that I added in one of the other recent updates as I confirmed yesterday the issue associated is fixed
A few other minor changes

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

That's all for now, enjoy!

Here is the next medium sized update for the game. Though the change log is not huge, this update brings some extensive improvement rewrites to the backend systems associated with the game, which means that the game should be noticeably smoother in larger areas and when a lot is happening on screen at once. Check out the complete change log below!

[h2]BETA Update 1.36.0 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

Removed a leftover testing event
FIXED a broken dialogue loop (Caused by a typo)


Changes & Additions:

Disabled some engine-default stuff that isn't used in Chaos Chain
Converted the system which saves event locations from always running in the background to only running when a map transfer is requested (Improves efficiency and performance significantly - this allowed me to get rid of several background processes on ALMOST EVERY MAP and it improves FPS on large outdoor maps - it also reduces system memory usage tremendously)
Updated all maps and event saving processes to the new system (Detailed above)
Reduced the max weather sprites on screen at one time by 1 times the weather severity (1 for 1, 2 for 2, 3 for 3, and so on)
Slowed the rain drop splash effect rate slightly (Slowing this down made the system much more efficient and less prone to issues regarding performance)
A few other quick tweaks

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