Chaos Chain News

Hey guys.

Not many of you are on our community Discord Channel, so most people won't know this, but I was aiming to release the next major update for the game either this Friday, or next Wednesday if everything went according to plan... I'm probably going to need a few more days. I got some unfortunate news today.

I'm writing this after just learning that a family pet that has been in my family since I was a teenager - I'm 27 years old now - is being put to rest tomorrow as he has become very sick and his quality of life has diminished. I was very close with him at one point in time and what's worse is that he is across the country from me, so I cannot see him to say my final goodbyes before this all takes place.

I know that this is going to be on my mind pretty heavily for the next few days at least, so I appreciate everyone's patience as I take some time to mourn and also to continue working on the update itself. This kind of thing is really tough and I'm pretty down about it all.

I've been working very hard - both day and night - on the update. It will be very significant when I finally release it, but I'm just going to need a bit more time. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you all for your understanding.

Sup, dwellers?



It's been a bit since I posted a status update on how the development is going for the game. I wanted to change that.

What's been going on?

Over the past several weeks, I've been working on a variety of things for Chaos Chain, but also have had to do some quick patches and dev stuff for some of my older projects to keep them all ship-shape. My attention has been a bit divided unfortunately because of this, as well as some personal matters going on in my life outside of work including dealing with chronic insomnia which, if you know anything about it, is a terrible thing to live with. Trust me on that... That said, I've made a TON of progress on the next big update. Lots of changes, improvements, new stuff, etc. I know it has been a bit longer than expected, and I still need a bit more time on it, but I feel it will be worth the wait. I'd much rather release a solid update than release BS and have it break everyone's game and then I'd be scrambling to fix all the issues. This stuff takes time and I appreciate everybody's patience thus far.

Who the hell is Cryptic and why is he marked as a dev on the forums?

Ha, I had someone pm me this. I'm Corrosion/Cryptic. I just decided to change my alias from Corrosion to Cryptic since I've been using Corrosion for 9 years now. I felt like it was time for a change. So, no, some dude is not pretending to be a developer. That's me. Yay me.

When will the new update for Chaos Chain be out?

Gonna answer this straight: I don't know. I don't have an exact schedule for it. Originally, I wanted to have it out at the end of April, but since April just ended, obviously that didn't happen. Now, I will say that a lot of the stuff that I had planned for this particular update is already set to go, but not everything. I'm still working on main quest stuff, extra improvements and revisions to systems that I've been planning (or putting off) for awhile because I knew they were going to be a PITA to do and take a good amount of time. I decided to do them now to get them off my to-do list, let players enjoy them once I get them working so they become part of them game moving forward, and to clear out some of my backlog.



What will the new update have in it?

A lot. More of the main storyline (a bit more for now), new enemy types for use in the future including all the drones, an overhauled battle callout system for enemies which makes it so that enemies can appear in mixed groups and not be saying the wrong phrases (like having a dog say "F*** you!" in combat instead of barking or something), new equipment such as new armor and even some new weapons, further balance on enemies, new skills and abilities, more lore related stuff, and a whole lot more. Pretty much every part of the game has received at least some work.

I will of course have more information very soon.

Thanks for reading and your continued support!
