Chapter 7 now available!
Thank you for waiting, Chapter 7, the finale of Fuchian Chronicles, is finally here!
After the events of Chapter 6, the future of the Empire is shrouded in uncertainty, but now a new operation is planned to end the war once and for all. Will it succeed? If so, at what cost? And what will it mean for Kimi and her crew?
In addition the new chapter, several things have been changed/balanced and a few bugs have been fixed. The demo has also been updated with these changes where appropriate. They are as follows:
- The map in the ending scene of Chapter 5 has been redone for consistency
- Healing items and skills now show approximately how much they restore in their description
- The “Transfer Energy” ship skill now transfers 50 energy instead of 100.
- Enemies are slightly harder to stun.
- Fixed enemies dropping the wrong weapons when killed.
- Settings for autosave interval and combat mode have been moved to the Options menu. The settings have been reset to the default (5 mins autosave interval and ATB combat), so please check the settings before you load your game!
- Added “Quit Game” button to main menu (finally)
- Added difficulty selector at the start of the game. You can still change it at any time in the settings!
- Added a new joke game over to Chapter 1 with its own achievement
With the release of Chapter 7, Fuchian Chronicles is now story complete! However, that doesn’t mean the game is ready to come out of Early Access just yet. I would like to take some more time to give the game a once over, polishing up a few things and adding some extra content. Here are some of things I want to do in this phase:
- Additional character portraits, such as for Fitz
- Character profile entries in the encyclopaedia
- Proper unlocking of encyclopaedia entries like in the demo
- More CG
There are others, but these are the main things I’ll be working on. I will also be doing more work promoting the game during this time, so I may not get to all of them so I don’t want to overpromise and under deliver. Life as a solo developer isn’t easy after all. Either way, I’m planning on finishing and fully releasing Fuchian Chronicles in Q1 2024, and updates will come monthly as usual.
That’s it for this time, I hope you like the new chapter! As always, if you encounter any bugs please post them in the Steam Community thread or email me at [email protected]. There’s no price increase this time (mainly so I can participate in sales), but there will be one final price increase when Fuchian Chronicles comes out of Early Access, so this is the best time to get the game with an Early Access discount! Thank you again for playing my game, and happy holidays!
