Playtest Beta Now Available!

Hey everyone, hope you’re doing well! Turns out the previous announcement isn’t the last one before full release, but there’s a good reason for it! A playtest version of the final build of Fuchian Chronicles is now available for anyone who’d like to help me playtest one more time and catch any bugs that I’ve missed (or if you just want to play the final build early, that’s fine too!). It includes all the previously shown UI/walking animation updates, a brand new logo/main menu, expanded Databank, new portraits, and a few tweaked/expanded scenes. Aside from bug fixes and perhaps one or two more tweaks, this should be the final version of Fuchian Chronicles. I hope you like it!



To access it, right click Fuchian Chronicles in your Steam Library, click “Properties”, click “Betas” on the left, and enter the code “foxesgokonkon”. That will unlock the “devtestbuild” with the playtest version of the final build and you’ll be able to play it. The main reason I went with an opt-in build instead of updating the main one is because the final release build requires you to start a new game due to some new functionality. If you’re in the middle of a run, feel free to finish that first if you don’t want to lose your progress. As always, please let me know about any bugs or issues you run into in the Steam Discussion thread, or email me at [email protected], which leads me to the last thing for this update.

Your feedback and help with playtesting has been a great help to me while Fuchian Chronicles is in Early Access. As such, I’d like to put everyone who has posted in the bug report and suggestions threads, and those who have sent me emails, in the game’s credits as playtesters for the final, final release. I don’t want to assume that everyone’s okay with it though, so this will be an opt-in thing. If you’d like to be added to the credits, please either reply to this announcement or email me at the address above.

That’s it for this update! With the bulk of development done, I’ll be working on updating the store page and marketing material such as screenshots and trailers from now till final release. Thank you once again for all your support thus far, and I hope you enjoy the final version of Fuchian Chronicles, whether you decide to play it now or at release on April 19th!

Sincerely,
- ShenTzu
