Chaos Chain


Salutations, dwellers...

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

Meet Jackal, the newest companion

Jackal's starting loadout equipment - he also has a processor installed and a special milspec chip that provides him with greater combat capabilities

Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed 45mm incendiary grenade ammunition being listed as explosive damage instead of burning

  • Fixed face wrap not equipping to the correct slot
  • Fixed Armican Renegade assault rifle having the wrong default animation assigned
  • Fixed Cassia only starting with half the experience bonus points that she should have (40 instead of the intended 80 from her background)


Changes & Additions:
  • Differentiated the stats 68mm rocket ammunition types (Just implemented them last patch without putting in some of the specifics)
  • Renamed Novikov Dragon Grenade Launcher to "Novikov Drakon Grenade Launcher"
  • Added Festung Schlagen Rocket Launcher [Inv: 5, Dmg: 10, O-Explosive, Init: 17, Hit: 4, Crit: 5, 68mm Rocket Launcher - S] (2H, +30% Shock, +50% Bleeding, +50% Stunned) "Portable gut punch."

  • Added Jackal face and sprite graphics files
  • Added Edge: Professional (Jackal: +1 Skill Point, +1% Instant Kill Chance, +5% Critical Chance, +5 Initiative)
  • Added Flaw: Survivor's Guilt (Jackal: "They died, but I didn't." (-1% Mettle Regen, -5% Confused Chance, -10% Mettle Max)
  • Added Background: Spec Ops (Jackal: +1% Instant Kill Chance, +1 Skill Point, +5% To Hit, +5% Shock Resistance)
  • Drako now starts with a medium backpack instead of a small backpack, a reinforced trenchcoat instead of only a reinforced jacket, an SD-1C processor instead of an LD-1C processor, and he also got sub-dermal armor cyberware (His starting loadout was really underwhelming compared to Cassia and now Jackal)
  • Some various other tweaks and 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!

2/2/23 - Chaos Chain Update 1.6.3

Chaos Chain


Salutations, dwellers...

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

[h2]Update 1.6.3 Change Log:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed a few tileset pathing issues


Changes & Additions:
  • Doubled the time for all important messages during system hacking to wait before closing (It was originally 2.5 seconds, for some reason, it got switched to 1.25 seconds when I uploaded the original update containing the system hacking, but now it is back to 2.5 seconds and this feels like a good amount of time to me - let me know what you guys think - the idea behind making the messages automatically disappear after that amount of time is to prevent the player from repeatedly having to hit the continue key in order to proceed because I tried it like that originally and it was incredibly annoying)
  • Added handling for the new "Kickstart Kit" DLC (Completely optional - relax - It's also only going to be $1.99 for people who want to help me out) which will release within the next week or so (It's just a DLC to help me make a bit more money to make sure I can keep development going and pay my bills and it awards your character some extra stuff to kickstart your adventures in Slade City)


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!
