Chaos Chain News

This is a special sale that I wanted to run since I wasn't able to run many discounts around the time (Sept 20) that Corrosive Studios turned 10 years old just a few months ago! So, to make up for that, here are some of the BIGGEST discounts I've ever run on Steam!

Check them out below!

These products couldn't be listed on sale due to very recent sales of their own, but Chaos Chain has DLC on sale!

Attention, freelancers!

This is a quick update to allow the game to run without one of the dll files that comes with it. Basically, the file allows the game to disable the F1, ALT+ENTER, and F12 keystrokes as the engine uses those by default to do various things but they will really mess things up with the game. Especially F12 - which will immediately bring the user back to the main menu! Either way, I added a warning message to pop up that if the game cannot find the file on startup, it will still run, but it tells you to avoid pressing F12. I am only doing this because for whatever reason, some people are having issues where others are not - getting an error message that the file can't be found even though it's in the right place. No clue why. But this will help remedy that issue. Check out the full change log below!

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

[h2]BETA Update 1.63.0 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

FIXED a typo in one of the new lore items


Changes & Additions:

Added 4 more lore variants (Letters, journals, etc)
Added 1 new paydata type (Guard rotation schedule)
Added an exception handler to allow the game to run without the "System/F1AltEnterF12.dll" file but also included a warning that if you hit F12 with that file not present, the game will immediately return to the main menu

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

Attention, freelancers!

Hey everyone! So, this update comes with a focus on the Data/Paydata/Lore system. I originally had the lore system just carry over from my previous game, Lawless Lands, where you could read notes and messages and such to learn more about the game world, but I expanded on it so that those items were also given to fixers for potential rewards. Well, it didn't make much sense how it worked because you could either read the data to get a tiny bit of experience, or you could give it to a fixer for experience and a possibly quite large monetary reward. So, I decided to recreate the way the system functions. With this, I also added 39 new bits of lore and pieces of information which can be found to keep things interesting. Check out the full change log below for more details!

[h2]BETA Update 1.62.0 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

FIXED a typo in one of the new dialogues added last update


Changes & Additions:

Colorized the tips/important messages during character creation related to weapon proficiencies when selecting skills
Redesigned the Data item and how it functions (It didn't make much sense how it was before - Before, you could either just use it to get a tiny bit of experience and learn something about the game world OR you could turn it in at a fixer for experience AND a possible monetary reward - Now, you need to check data as you get it to see if it's just some random piece of info or something potentially valuable)
Added Paydata plot item (Possibly gained when examining data)
Added 39 new data item variants (New notes, logs, journals, reports, etc - World Building stuff - There is a lot more variety now)
Giving paydata to a fixer now reward the entire team with 10 experience instead of only 3 experience and only being for the main character
Added new fixer paydata type (Extortion payments - Also makes paydata more likely to actually be worth something since there are more valuable options in the list overall)
Special (High paying) paydata now rewards the entire team 20 experience instead of only 15 experience and only being for the main character
Updated Data item description
Added sound effects to play when using data and it varies based on what it turns out to be
Various other minor changes and tweaks

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

Attention, freelancers!

Here's just another quick patch! I hope everyone (who celebrates it) has a Happy Thanksgiving!

[h2]BETA Update 1.61.2 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

FIXED a bug where the quest giver for "Shady Shipment" returns to his default state after the quest is completed so you could do it again indefinitely


Changes & Additions:

Thugs and Red Saints no longer throw Pipe Bombs (It was a little odd in my opinion for random thugs to have stuff like that - they still do have access to molotovs)
A few other super quick tweaks and adjustments

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