Chromosome Evil 2 News

UPDATE TIME
Bow&arrows are back


Good news, we managed to push one more big update for you!

A major update. Version 1.5x
. For those who have played recently:
1 Added a new bow weapon. At first, it is not strong, but it does not waste bullets, but consumes materials.
2 Improved ammo has been added:
-Enhanced. It just increases the hit damage.
Incendiary. If hit, there will be a chance to set fire to the target. Arrows are set on fire immediately. The target is constantly taking damage and will not live long.
Poisoned. If hit, there will be a chance to poison the target. Arrows infect immediately. The target slows down, weakens, and takes damage.
Explosive. Radically increase the damage. But we need to get to them...
-Weighted arrows throw off enemies.
3 Improved the burning and poisoning of enemies. Changed mechanics and damage. Also now they continue to burn and die even after losing their legs.
4 Everything except car repairs and mining can now be done on the go on the global map.


New enhanced ammunition types



For those who played around the release:
1 At least 3 times there was a serious revision of the balance of the game. The complexity has increased, global effects have been added, and mechanics that did not work well at first have been debugged.
2 Added story missions during evolutionary jumps. The evolution system has also been revised. Enemies now have weapons after clear stages.
3 The cards for the grind have been replenished.
4 A lot of management changes. Fighters are now much more responsive, less sticky when managing allocation. The change of equipment in the inventory has been greatly reduced.
5 Heavy mode is now really heavy.
For those who haven't played yet:
If you were in doubt whether to take the game or not, now is the time to play a demo version and see that the game has become much more enjoyable to manage.lp of feedback from the players, we managed to improve the gameplay, bring the balance to a pleasant level, and introduce several mechanics that made the game even more interesting. Now you will be able to see not a raw game, but one that is quite worthy of your attention. Since the release, many bugs have been fixed and many edits have been made to make it better. The game is not dead, but continues to improve and I am always open to suggestions.

Hey Players,

It's been 2 weeks since we released the game so now it's time to share some of the data behind the curtain, a summary, and a big update.


First good news, Chromosome Evil 2 got approved for trading cards, we just uploaded the trading cards artwork and we are waiting for final confirmation, I estimate they should be dropping by the end of next week.



Summary since the release:

- bug fixing, my partner had a marathon in fixing bugs, it's hard to track but overall he made fixes each day since the release, and we must add here an addition Thank you players for having patience with us
- minor balance adjustments
- minor quality of life features

Today's BIG Update

- Re-balance, today a huge re-balance of the game took place, mele was to OP and the game lacked that dangerous element, we noticed in many videos that people would just grind everything, well no more, now you will need real survival skills
- New content, we added 5 evolution event scenarios(chapter 3) that will get triggered on certain evolution stages to spice up the survival experience.


WARNING: because we added a lot in this new update there might be some new bugs, if you encounter them please report them, and my partner will fix them.




Our current situation

Well unfortunately here the situation is not very good for us.
We failed to reach any of our major milestones in matter of sales and Steam engagement.

This was due to a number of factors, fortunately, the game quality is not one of them.

Right now we are on the floating line and we must consider our next move very carefully.
We probably have funding left to keep making games until the coming winter, so if any Game of Thrones fans around here know that for us the"winter is coming" expression is BRUTAL.



The future

We have read all the reviews and noticed that the people who played it liked our creation a lot, which brought joy to our hearts.
So, right now we are going to fix all bugs that get reported including balance adjustments.
And if the game will get serious attention from the player community in the future we will also consider adding more extra content to it.



Thank you, players!









Regards

ITS OUT!





Chromosome Evil 2 just left Early Acces for the full release. May the Emperor protect!




What have we prepared for you?
A heavy tactical survival adventure set in a Lovecraftian horror theme and mixed with heavy management.



What's next?
Well, the first thing is that during the first 2 weeks after the release we are going to do maintenance, meaning we are going to adjust things and kill all the reported bugs(if any) because a good bug is a dead bug.
We strongly recommend that you use either Steam Bug report main topic or our Discord Bug report room, please do not create new topics for bug reports.



Then we need to decide on the future road map for future extra content and DLCs, this will be based on how many support milestones we get from you in the first 2 weeks after release because surely if you don't like the game there will be no point in adding more content.
If you want to know the exact details of what we consider a milestone you can join our discord to find out.







How was the Early Acces for us?
Well, we were barely on the floating line, we have chosen to move forward without a publisher in order to have total freedom in our creativity and legal bindings.
But on the bright side, we managed to reach all goals from EA meaning all planned content was successfully implemented, so no broken promises, HURAY!
We haven't had an EA game in a long time so this was a fresh experience for us.









This being said we really hope you enjoyed the game and if you think we are on the right path please do let us know.






Best Regards,

Good news everyone,

We set up the full release date: 15 February 2024, just around 3 weeks away.



We work non-stop on adding the final content until the end of this month and then we will have 2 more weeks to flush out and fix all the new bugs that will occur with the new content addition.

How can you help?

1. Please report all the bugs you encounter and how we can replicate them in order to have them fixed.

2. We are a team of only 2 people so spreading the word about this upcoming release with your friends on social media can really make a difference in our studio's future.
