Hey everyone!

It's been a while. We'd like to thank everyone for another great year of Chronicon, and also give you a little hint of what's coming next.

We've been working hard with a brand new game, which we'll be announcing properly sometime in the next year. Though for now, we can let you know that it's part of the Chronicon universe, and that it'll be something on a smaller scale than Chronicon. But we hope to make it just as fun!

We know a lot of people are excited for the possibility of a sequel, but after 9 years of Chronicon, we really want to do some shorter projects, and try some new things first.
After that, however... who knows? steammocking

Thanks again for another great year. We want to wish you happy holidays, and a happy new year!
Stick around for more news, and we'll see you next year!

- Squarebit & Marruu

Hey everyone!

We are finally here. A little over a month ago we reached the end of our Post-Release Roadmap. Since then we have been working on various bugfixes, balance and QoL improvements, and looking at your suggestions - old and new - for things we want in the final version. This update is the last planned update, and with which the game is considered "done". There may be more updates further down the road, with fixes or minor tweaks. But as far as big content updates and DLC goes, we're done!

This has been an incredible journey, which has spanned almost exactly 9 years from first prototype to where we are today! We are very grateful for all the comments, suggestions, bug reports, and support over the years. This community has turned out so great, and we are incredibly happy to have shared this journey with all of you.

Thank you everyone. We hope you will enjoy this update.

...And we hope to see you on our next adventure!
(We'll let you know when it begins!)


[h2]1.52.0:[/h2]
Complete Edition:

• Owning both DLC's will now unlock the new UI Theme for "Chronicon Complete".
  

• Rather than fixing the bug which lets you autocast skills by hitting Esc while binding the key, it has been extended to also work with gamepads. Enjoy :-)
  
• Buff display has been extended so that you can now see up to 30 buffs on the HUD. Debuffs were moved to be displayed underneath buffs (instead of above) because it made more sense.
  
• Buff durations are now fully paused during area transitions.
  
• Companions now have portraits on the UI displaying a counter for how many are alive and any timers (if they have a non-permanent duration). These portraits only show up when playing solo due to interface space constraints.
  
• Added a new entry to the Help Index with information on the Mechanist and her unique mechanics.
  
• Added a new entry to the Help Index with information on all enemy Affixes.
  
• Larger damage numbers should now display on top of smaller numbers.
  

• Lucilla's Vision (TL Helm) buffed to using 100% of overhealing, up from 10%.
  

• Frostwyrm set 3p bonus now increases the maximum amount of Frost Winds by 10, up from 5.
  

Runes:



• Lesser Rune of Loaded Bombs now Greater Augments to 100% increased damage per Ammo, up from 50%.
  
• Lesser Rune of T-342 now removes the cooldown of MOAB entirely (was halved before).
  
• Lesser Rune of Rocketeer Bots now works with Entity's Inclination (Artifact that applies Weakness stacks on Satellite hits).
  

Drone Pilot (Set)



• Now counts all Drones, including Turrets with the Drone tag (from the 2p set effect) for the 4p set effect.
  

Mechalord's Legacy (Set)



• Mechalord's Legacy damage stacking effect is now displayed on your buffs, so they are easier to track.
  

Skills:



• Added small visuals for Mechanist Ultimate abilities.
  
• Improved Mechanist's Whirl skills so that they are less likely to get stuck when struck by Knockback or Pull effects.
  
• Leaking Containers (passive):
  
  
  
  • Now adds Parry for each Drone of the linked skill, not for all Drones of any type.
    
  • Now have 3 ranks instead of 2, and as such grants +3% Parry per drone (up from 2%).
    
  • The related Gas Salvage mastery perk now grants 4% Poison Resistance and Poison Damage per Drone, up from 3%.
    
  
  

• Templar Valkyrie 3p set bonus now also makes Sharp Steel deal damage in a radius on each tick.
  

• Snowy Fur (Mastery Perk) no longer has any cooldown.
  
• Improved the logic of Lesser Rune of Norla's Gale so it does not replace Tornados too soon, and will empower more effeciently.
  

• Slightly improved performance of damage numbers.
  
• Improved performance when resurrecting friends in local co-op.
  
• Further tightened collision checks for teleporting enemies to reduce chances of them going through locked doors at odd angles.
  
• Dead enemies no longer draw Auras and shadows beneath them. (helps performance and makes for less visual clutter in hectic combat)
  

• Fixed issue where the game window would open off-center while in windowed mode.
  
• Fixed damage numbers getting buggy after hitting 9.9Qi.
  
• Fixed "Shoulder-Mounted RPG" (Mechanist Synergy skill) triggering regardless of rank or proc rate as long as you had Rocketeer allocated.
  
• Fixed several Mechanist Passives and Masteries that could trigger even with 0 points spent.
  
• Fixed weird behaviour with "Machine Guard" Mechanist Pasive and interactions with Companion Passive & Use effect.
  
• Fixed some cases where the Drone Pilot set (Mechanist) would need 3 pieces instead of 2 to properly count Turrets as Drones, and where it would consider normal Satellites as Drones.
  
• Fixed issue where Mightcap (Legendary Helm) allowed binding the same skill to two slots.
  
• Fixed quest "Infestation" granting legacy Elixirs - will now grant 10x Fire Vials on start.
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur if a Shrine rolled to spawn monsters, but failed to spawn any due to space constraints.
  
• Fixed issue where some monster affixes that modify elements of base attacks (like "Poisonous") wouldn't actually do that until re-entering a zone, so most of the time these affixes did nothing (lol).
  
• Fixed issue where unique monster kills would be added to the codex as random other monsters.
  
• Fixed the auto-attacking Dummy in Tinka's Domain not properly triggering some on hurt/parry/evade etc effects on players.
  
• Fixed some weirdness with Gravity (TL amulet) and satellite indexing that *may* solve the random double satellite bug. Maybe.
  
• Fixed a secret thing that didn't do the secret thing. (Secretly)
  
• Fixed Battlemaster's Cape not showing the buff/counter for nearby enemies.
  
• Fixed issue with Lesser Rune of The Storm Killer not working correctly with Norla's Gale.
  
• Fixed Element of Surprise artifact not working properly with Killbot.
  
• Fixed issue where the Mythic Axe recipe might still be hidden for some players.
  

Hey everyone!

Thanks for the reports & feedback!

This update should fix most of the recent issues, and also reflects on some of the recent suggestions & feedback.

For the next update, I'm taking another pass at some Mechanist stuff, as well as looking at making some UI improvements based on recent (and some long-time) suggestions. Keep the bug reports, feedback, and suggestions coming! I very much appreciate all your engagement :)

Thank you, and have a good weekend!

Here are the full notes:

[h2]1.51.0:[/h2]
QoL:

• You can now right-click Bramley to go directly to the Expedition Tree.
  
• Stackable items are now marked as favorite if either the source or target stack is marked as favorite when transferring to or from the Stash.
  
• Runestone renamed "Blank Runestone" to further emphasize on the difference between the Dungeon and Elite Dungeon Anomaly rewards.
  
• Improved text display on the Anomaly Waypoint interface (mostly noticable for non-Latin fonts), and several other UI panels.
  

• Improved targeting of Rip Blade and Seeker Swarm, reducing the chances of it not hitting anything. (Keep in mind that if it goes off screen too far it will still disappear, so try and point it towards closer groups)
  
• Updated visuals of Bomb Bots explosion.
  
• Updated visuals of Misfire.
  

• Fixed issue where Machine March (Mechanist TL Axe) would snapshot and count companions twice.
  
• Fixed issue where Magic Mags (Mechanist Mastery Perk) would trigger on the Drone Pilot 3p bonus, and then cause the Drone Pilot 3p bonus to immediately trigger again, consuming all ammo, effectively not making any difference.
  
• Fixed Drone Controller (Mechanist TL item) not granting an extra Drone when using Bomb Bots, and updates its description to be more clear.
  
• Fixed issue where Gunner's Toolbox and Lesser Rune of Pandora's Turret could both spawn the extra Turret(s) in the wrong location.
  
• Fixed Light Lance (Mechanist Holy Passive) always triggering regardless of listed proc rate or points spent on the skill.
  
• Fixed Restorative Tech (Mechanist Mastery Perk) not working.
  
• Fixed Dragon Leap (Berserker Fire skill) not being able to hit targets the player landed on, if landing on the exact same spot as the target.
  
• Fixed Ammo Find stat (Mechanist) not properly being affected by effects that increase all Minor stat, depsite being a Minor stat.
  
• Fixed being able to roll Ammo enchants on non-Mechanist characters while Enchanting.
  
• Fixed issue where when swapping from one Mechanist character to another, the Mastery tree would not reset properly and some points would transfer.
  
• Fixed the Fire and Physical Specialization expedition nodes for Mechanist being swapped (Fire increased phys skill damage, and vice versa).
  
• Fixed the Physical Specialization expedition nodes for Templar having the Sword Hurl and Shield Boomerang improvements switched.
  
• Fixed some tooltip issues when opening the Wardrobe or the Codex when using a gamepad.
  
• Fixed the Mythical Axe crafting recipe not having the correct icon and missing its name.
  
• Fixed crash from opening the Device Slotter and some other UI windows after having browsed page 2 or higher in the Shared Stash using a controller.
  
• Fixed issue where you couldn't send your beast to sell Unique items sometimes when clicking the sell button (overlapped with the stat page buttons).
  
• Fixed similar issue with some buy row buttons of the Shared Stash. (this could also in some cases lead to a crash!)
  
• Fixed issue where you had to enable hit numbers AND indirect damage numbers to be able to see indirect numbers (now you can disabled "Player Hit Numbers" if you only want the indirect numbers).
  
• Fixed rare crash on entering Hidden Canyon.
  
• Fixed issue where you could get softlocked when dying in the Eazima fight just as she changes phase - she will now politely make sure you are alive before vomiting you up.
  
• Fixed several issues with the Eazima fight and mobility skills causing you to fly away during phase changes (and other weird issues).
  
• Fixed DLC Beast Materials dropping from story areas.
  
• Fixed some skill typos.
  
• Fixed several "Missing Text" in the German translation.
  
• Fixed several localization issues and incorrect translations.
  
• Fixed problems syncing saves between PC/Linux/Steam Deck. Hopefully.
  

Hey everyone!

How are you enjoying The Mechanist?

A few issues popped up and this update will take care of some of the more immediate ones, such as the Laser Drone crashing on boss death cutscenes. I am also working on another update to squash the rest of the bugs, and fix some weird skill behavior and such.

I also expect to be doing a balance/tweak pass over the next few weeks, so if you have any feedback regarding balance and builds, please let me know!
(I would also recommend joining our Discord and theorycraft and bounce ideas with the community! This is also the place where I am most active myself. Here is a link: https://discord.gg/nSKhPEA )

Anyway, I hope you're having a good time!

Thank you!

[h2]1.50.7[/h2]

• Lowered volume of the M3D1C companion.
  
• Fixed Flame Zag adding ammo instead of consuming it.
  
• Fixed "+x Max Ammo" enchants not being translated.
  
• Fixed Power Bots not granting any Holy Damage when activated.
  
• Fixed bad offsets and some cutoff on tooltips in some languages (like French).
  
• Fixed Laser Drones causing a crash.
  
• Fixed The Mechanist having a Templar Holy Mastery node instead of her own Holy Mastery node.
  
• Fixed some set bonus typos.
  
• Fixed issue where any newly created character wouldn't show up on the Load Hero screen until the game was restarted.
  
• Fixed Lancer (Legendary gun) dropping earlier than its other element counterparts (was 5, is now 15).
  

Hey everyone!

The Mechanist is now available!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2206120/Chronicon__The_Mechanist/

We hope you will enjoy playing it as much as we did making it.

Thank you for your support!

Hey everyone!

Another small update as we are prepping to release The Mechanist.
Which we will be doing... tomorrow!

Thanks for your reports, and please let us know if you find any more issues.

Thank you!

Here are the full notes:

[h2]1.50.5[/h2]

• Prepared for Mechanist release...
  
• Added more stash tab icons (right click stash tab icons to cycle the image) - these additions may have shuffled your currently selected ones.
  
• Skills "Poison Arrow" and "Vine Shot" (Warden) are now Archery skills rather than Nature.
  
• Fixed several thrown skills not breaking breakable objects they pass through.
  
• Fixed some skills that can change behaviour with an item/power (like Screaming Skulls) not breaking breakable objects properly when changed.
  
• Fixed Gargoylantuan (boss) not being localized in the cutscene.
  
• Fixed several misc localization issues (including bad developer grammar and typos).
  
• Fixed issue with copying hardcore characters to the test builds.
  
• Fixed issue where the skill in the leftmost slot would require "force attack" to be held when using click to move.
  
• Fixed UI related crash that could occur when sending the Beast to sell items.
  
• Fixed crash on verifying older hardcore character save files.
  

Hey everyone!


Thanks for being patient with us.
We have finally got a fix for the launching issue introduced with update 1.50.0!

This update runs on a BETA build of the game engine so there may be some unexpected behavior - please let us know if you encounter anything weird. We will be updating another time around the DLC release (still planned for later this month) on a stable engine release, so if there are any weird issues we are expecting to have them resolved by then.

Also included in this update is another Shared Stash tab :)

Thanks again - we look forward to releasing the Mechanist!

Here are the full notes:
[h2]1.50.3:[/h2]

• Added an additional stash tab for everyone.
  
• Fixed the game not launching issue.
  
• Fixed some bad tooltips and misc typos.
  
• Fixed several issues with localization where a game restart was needed to fully update the changed language.
  
• Fixed several instances of overlapping or bad padding in tooltips and UI elements.
  

Hey everyone!

We're launching the Mechanist DLC next month!

We planned to do it before christmas but unfortunately we've had some last minute problems with the DLC, and as you may be aware the game itself is a bit finnicky with starting right now. So we're working on that and trying to get all that sorted out before we release The Mechanist. (Launching a DLC during the upcoming Winter Sale is also a pretty bad move if you're a small developer like us).

We are sorry about the delays and recent technical problems, and thankful for your patience with us as we figure this out!


Meanwhile, consider wishlisting the DLC so you are notified once it's (finally) out:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2206120/Chronicon__The_Mechanist/


We'd also like to thank everyone for another great year in the Chronicon community!
Interacting with the community is by far the best part of the job, and we are very happy to have such a great one!


What the next year holds for Chronicon is uncertain, though we are looking to start something new... it won't be Chronicon 2 - but it might just be related to Chronicon... so stay tuned for more news on that, in the next year.

See you in 2023!

Hey everyone!

There was an issue in the previous update which made it so the game sometimes wouldn't launch - this issue should now be fixed. Please let us know if you're still seeing this problem!

We also fixed a few other things while we were at it.

Thanks!

[h2]1.50.1[/h2]

• Added more shorthands for really large numbers.
  
• Items no longer roll enchants/stats that are exclusive to a class that isn't being played, ie no longer getting random Shadow Damage when not playing a Warlock or Ammo enchants when not playing Mechanist.
  
• Fixed some missing text in localizations.
  
• Fix for game not starting properly on Steam sometimes.
  

Hey everyone!

This update is mostly about preparing for the next DLC - The Mechanist.
We have also added full support for German, and there are quite a few tweaks, fixes, and other improvements as well!

We now also support cross-platform cloud saving, so you can take your PC characters to your Steam Deck, for example!

Here are the full notes.

Stay tuned for more!

In addition to this, we are enabling cross-platform cloud saving, so you can for example bring your PC characters with you on your Steam Deck! This change should be rolling out during the day.

Anyway, that's all for now! Keep your eyes peeled for the update, and please wishlist the DLC!

Thank you!

Thank you everyone, hope you like it as much as we do!

Hey everyone!

Hope you're having a good time with the new update!

Thanks for the bug reports and feedback on all the new things. We have decided to make Injectors and Launchers drop more frequently, and also to cap the Elixir Effectiveness stat as it would very quickly get out of hand, putting Elixirs in a place we did not intend. We hope these changes makes as much sense to you as it does to us - and please let us know if you find any more issues and we'll get right on that.

Thanks, hope you enjoy!


Here's the full notes:

1.40.1:
Stats & Combat:

• Elixir Effectiveness stat now caps out at 200%.
  
• Removed the "Repulse" affix from enemies, as it would "shotgun" players when an enemy casting it was grouped up with lots of other enemies. (Repulse deals damage from each of the casters nearby "friend").
  
• Added back the Surger affix (lots of lightning orbs).
  

• Now 30% more likely to drop.
  
• Now shows up on your map with their own unique icons.
  

• Fixed issue where the proc rate of Avatar of Life (Templar) wasn't correctly affected by Crown of Innate Possibilities, as expected from the tooltip. It will now be able to proc 100% of the time.
  
• Fixed issue where Hallowed crits wouldn't be considered for the Judgement DoT effect from the Ayeela Set (Templar).
  
• Fixed Avenger (Templar) set working even if not knowing the skill.
  
• Fixed Enchanted Arms (Templar Synergy Passive) working without having the required skill.

• Fixed the Codex not listing Thornbough and Woodwall unique foes in their respective areas.
  
• Fixed item duping issue related to the Device Slotting interface.
  
• Fixed enemies who were rooted or otherwise immobilized and fleeing at the same time getting stuck in an animation, unable to act.
  
• Fixed missing text for Vials in French, Spanish, and Chinese.
  
• Fixed the class elements listed when creating a new character not being localized.
  
• Fixed some missing special symbols.
  

Hey everyone!

Update 1.40.0 is finally here!

This one is very large, introducing a lot of new things, a lot of balance changes, performance boosts, and finally an official French translation! We are working on a few more languages that will release this year too.

We're also working on a lot of other things.. next month we will have not one, but two big announcements for Chronicon - so stay tuned for that!

• Elixirs do not drop from enemies, but are obtained via the new Elixir Shop found in Tinka's Domain and The Chronicon.
  

Vials:

• There are Injectors designed to make Elixirs last longer and/or have increased effect, and there's Injectors that accept Health & Mana Potions instead of Elixirs.
  
• You can get the base MK1 Injector from the new Elixir Shop in Tinka's Domain or The Chronicon.
  
• MK2 and MK3 Injectors will randomly (and rarely) drop from enemies.
  
• MK4 and MK5 Injectors are crafted via hidden transmutation recipes. Hint: You use the previous tier Injectors to make the higher ones.
  
• Injectors are never filtered in your loot filters so you cannot miss them.

• Lesser Rune of Pulverize now causes Stonefist to deal triple damage if there's a Crowned foe in range, rather than striking 3 times.
  Lesser Rune of Boulderfist now causes Boulder to fire fast moving fists that deal the combined damage of Stonefist and Boulder. Also reduces cooldown of Boulder. Works in combination with the Pulverize rune effect too.
  

Skills:



• Storm Fists now deals 260/290/320/350/380% damage, up from 165/180/195/210/225%.
  



Templar:


Items & Powers:


Thundercharged Battlegear set:



• 3p) - no longer casts Avenger every 1.5 seconds or disable the Satellite base attacks.
  
• Instead, satellites attack as normal, but use Avenger as their damage, and trigger all on-hit effects, and are affected by attack speed.
  
• This means it works with satellite effects such as the Entity's Inclination Artifact which has stacking weakness for satellite hits.
  

Thundering Army set:



• 2p) now grants permanent Soul Replicas and a Soul Avatar (no need to learn and slot the Ultimate skill anymore).
  
• 3p) weakness debuff now adds 25% per stack, up from 15%.
  
• Also: Getting +1 rank in Soul Replication (Templar Ultimate) via the Companion's Calling rhombus artifact now summons 4 Replicates (up from 3), for a grand total of 6 (up from 4) when used with the Mightcap helmet.
  

Avatar of Ayeela set:



• This set now follows the original design of the Hallowed skill - damage based on healing.
  
• 2p) Avatar of Life is now always active. Hallowed deals an additional 300% damage and can now crit.
  
• 3p) Hallowed applies Judgment to foes struck by it, dealing the damage of Hallowed per second, for 7 seconds. Stacks infinitely. Striking any foe affected by Judgement with a Hammer skill will cause an explosion, dealing 300% of Judgement damage in a 3 meter radius.
  


• Ayeela's Embrace (Ayeela set armor) now rolls Healing Taken instead of mana regeneration.
  
• Hallowed Blade (Unique Sword) now has a new power: Healing Taken is multiplied by Holy Damage.
  
• Lesser Rune of Hallowed Grace has been improved: Now triggers Grace on receiving any Healing, and Grace is increased by the Healing Taken stat. And on top of this does its old effect where it multiplied the base damage of Hallowed by current barrier strength.
  

Skills:



• Avenger now hits an additional target and its tooltip now lists how many jumps it does.
  



Warden:


Items & Powers:


Wispmother Set:



• 3p) Increased the damage radius of the Wisp and Mega Wisp Thunder Orb spells. (It's increased by a lot more for the Mega Wisp).
  

Everspring set:



• 3p) Now also cause the bursts which spawn twisters to empower twisters within the damage range, stacking up damage, but not refreshing durations.
  


• Wind Razor (Legendary Arrow) now Augments up to 60% (up from 40%) and Greater Auguments to 100% (up from 50%) additional damage to Splinter.
  
• Loaded Bolts (Legendary Arrow) no longer causes an explosion, but rather triples Splinter Damage when it is triggered from Double Draw.
  
• Heartpiercer (Unique Bow) has a new power that increases the damage of Razor Tips by up to 100%.
  
• Harp (TL bow) now shoots less arrows, 7 down from 10, but doubles the damage of the skills it affects. The arrows are also staggered and fire one at a time in a quick interval. (These changes are mostly to prevent framedrops)
  
• NEW: Elementium Point (TL Arrow): Quickdraw, Gardener, and Overcast now affects all Archery, Nature, and Storm skills respectively, and have increased chance to trigger. Does not affect Mobility or Base skills.
  
• NEW: Freyja (TL Bow): 15% chance to cast Leaf Wind on attack. While affected by Leaf Wind, Nature & Storm skills deal increased damage.
  

Skills:



• Wisps now have a larger aggro range and will not stop attacking to follow the Warden until farther away.
  
• Paralyze no longer triggers on foes already Paralyzed (this would negatively effact the diminishing returns of it).
  



Warlock:


Items & Powers:


Deathbringer set:



• 3p) Now makes Corpse Shatter always proc, rather than double the proc rate (which would land at 80% without additional items to increase it).
  


• The "Ancient Bone" unique accessory that increases Bone Skill damage is now a Warlock-only item.
  
• Icecrown (Helmet) power now also makes all Frost Spear Skills be affected by Satellite Strength.

• Added Frost Spear Skill as a skill tag.
  

• Snow Tunnelers no longer have the Blizzard affix, and instead have Frozen and Frost Resistance.
  
• Removed Spore Rain from Anomaly boss Bazz-Wizda and gave him Boom Shroom instead, as Spore Rain would group all the planted mushrooms into a large explosion, dealing insane amounts of damage.
  

• Added Elixir Effenciency and Absorption Barrier Effect stats to the big stat page, under Utility and Defense respectively.
  
• Skill references in Skill & Mastery tooltips are now color-coded by their element/tree, to help with navigation.
  
• The difficulty slider and info cards on the Expedition tree now makes it clear that Tiers are above Mythic XV difficulty.

Hey everyone!

Update 1.33.2 is now live with more fixes!

Thanks for your reports, and please let us know of any other problems!

Here's the full notes:

1.33.2:
Fixes:

• Fixed rare loot creating duplicate nodes on the map if you had no room while trying to pick it up, and it moved.
  
• Fixed some passives and powers, such as Demonic Fury and Gaia (bow), mistaking Ancient Beasts as companions.
  
• Fixed some odd companion behaviour during the Eazima fight.
  
• Fixed Scramble info card being huge when using a gamepad.
  
• Fixed the Expedition difficulty slider not working correctly on some resolution settings.
  
• Fixed general issue with small sliders having a too large "hitbox" when interacted with, causing it to overlap nearby things on certain resolutions.
  
• Fixed issue where items dropped in Expeditions didn't folow the same stat roll rules as items dropped in Anomalies, ie they should now gain increased chances of higher base rolls as you run higher difficulty Expeditions.
  
• Possible fix for Tornados getting stuck during longer fights.
  
• Possible fix for some smaller bosses being able to teleport through walls.
  

Hey everyone!

This update fixes the issues introduced with the most recent update. There's always something that slips through the cracks, and we are thankful for your reports!
We are aware of some issues with the expedition tree interface and larger resolution monitors, and are working on fixing that as well.

Thanks everyone!

1.33.1:

• Fixed Shrines not being removed from map when clicked.
  
• Fixed portals overlapping in Boss anomalies.
  
• Fixed some weird linebreaks in the enchanting interface for gamepads.
  
• Fixed crash that could occur from Wolf companions using bite attacks in certain situations.
  
• Fixed crash when shift-clicking items in the stash.
  

Hey everyone!


Here's a slightly larger update with a lot of improvements to the DLC content!
We took your feedback to heart and have done our best to incorporate it in this update, everything from small UI changes and making the Expedition tree more accessible to new players, to larger account-wide progression saving and difficulty selection for the Expeditions. We also added some extra features, such as letting you send your beasts back to town to sell stuff for you!

In the next big update, we'll be looking at build & balance feedback, and try to bring up some lacking builds up to date as well.

As always, thank you very much for your suggestions, comments, and bug reports!


We hope you enjoy what this update brings!

Full notes below:

1.33.0:
Artifact Changes:

• Eternal Servitude now also affects the cooldown of the skill used to trigger it.
  
• Elementalist's Boon effect reduced to 250% (was 300%).
  
• Companion's Calling: Now available to Warlock and Templar (previously Warden only). Now affects all skills with the companion tag, such as Living Blood, Soul Avatar, Dancing Blades, Wisp, etc.
  

• Beasts can now be ordered to teleport to town and sell items in the same way you can quick-sell based on rarities.
  
• You can now Shift-click items to quickly transfer them between your inventory and your beast.
  

• Added difficulty slider that lets you scale Expeditions into Endless Tiers.
  
  
  
  • Putting the slider to the left sets it to "default", which resets all expeditions to the designed difficulty. Lowest step up is into Endless Tier 1, and highest is whatever you have unlocked on the Anomalies.
    
  • You cannot advance tiers through Expeditions, this is still done via Anomalies, but now you can set them to be a challenge for your late endgame builds.
    
  
  
• Added a checkpoint system to the Expeditions:
  
  
  
  • Reaching a checkpoint (Egg Unlock, Beast Growth 1 & 2) now unlocks all Expeditions required to get to that node on all characters.
    
  • This lessens the grind for alts and reduces the time to get back into things on Hardcore.
    
  • Optional Expeditions (those that branch away from the main path) are not unlocked with this system, and still has to be cleared on each character.
    
  • NOTE: If you have already completed these checkpoint Expeditions, just load up that character, and they will be unlocked for all other.
    
  
  
• General changes:
  
  
  
  • Added 3x Thorns% passives to the West Expedition tree.
    
  • The first few resistance and elemental damage ranks are now much cheaper to buy.
    
  • You can now attempt to buy 5x passive ranks at a time, like you would in the skill tree.
    
  • You can now also remove points - but you do not get refunded the currency.
    
  • Expedition Passives that are of max rank now have their rank text colored to be easier to distinguish at a glance.
    
  • Expedition Passives now also have their ranks in a little box, making it easier to read.
    
  • Expedition no longer list their rewards if they have been completed (as you can only earn the reward once).
    
  • Completed Expeditions now also have a checkmark on them to further clarify which you have completed, as there was some confusion when dealing with Expeditions that required multiple completed Expeditions.
    
  
  

• Updated Artifact Fragments icon.
  
• Updated Icon for "Thundercharged Blade" (no longer same as "Rolling Thunder" sword).
  
• Updated Artifact tooltip to make it clear how to use them.
  
• Updated skill description of several proc rate Masteries to correctly reflect that they increase the proc rate of Synergy skills as well (where applicable).
  
• The enchanter interface now shows small padlocks on locked enchants and powers directly on their icons.
  
• Further refinement to damage number source tracking (please let us know if you find further inconsistencies).
  

• Clearing a Lesser/Greater Boss Anomaly now opens two portals: one to return to Tinka's Domain as before, and a new one to instantly get into a new boss fight.
  
• Nek'Rosis (Anomaly Boss) now have 10% less health to offset his healing abilities.
  
• Removed a very rapidly attacking skill from the last East Expedition boss (Thunderbeak).
  
• Mobs using "Life Reap" will now only count 1 hit for their self heal, so they don't repeatedly heal to full when hitting a lot of companions.
  

• Gave Tinka a new look in The Chronicon, and one to show his status in Tinka's Domain. (it is good to be the king)
  

• Fixed changing Artifacts not triggering a stat recalculation and buff refresh. It now works just like when swapping skills.
  
• Fixed newly created characters retaining the Beast of the last played chartacter (and its inventory).
  
• Fixed issue where you could put 2 of the same rune on Mythical weapons. (You'd still only get power from one).
  
• Fixed Mythical Weapons not having any augment/reroll/scramble material costs.
  
• Fixed Artifacts not showing their required level.
  
• Fixed Diana Jones talking forever if you have an active quest with her and right-clicking her to quickly go to the Artifact Forge panel. Right-clicking now skips her speech.
  
• Fixed issue where you could potentially be stuck without a portal to the Hellforge.
  
• Fixed issue where using any of the artifacts granting bonus skill points would also count towards your total points in the tree, letting you unlock the next tier of skills with one less point, and potentially locking you out from removing points.
  
• Fixed Beasts triggering egg traps with the Lightfooted Perk active.
  
• Fixed issue where Lesser/Greater Boss Anomalies would sometimes be empty if you had already cleared the boss in Story Mode in the same session.
  
• Fixed Retaliator 4-p bonus not properly triggering when taking damage.
  
• Fixed Stalagmites getting 100% proc rate from Cataclysm set (old effect that lingered).
  
• Fixed issue causing Infected Spirits (Warlock) not properly triggering.
  
• Fixed Warlock's "Posion Specialization IV" DLC Node refering to "Pool of Corruption, a skill that no longer exists (now correctly refers to "Corruption", a skill that exists :-).)
  
• Fixed Excorcism mastery giving way too low proc rate bonus (Templar).
  
• Fixed the skill "Purify" (Templar, Storm Mender companion) also removing cooldown-related debuffs, such as the timer on death-prevention mechanics.
  
• Fixed Norla's Gale introducing an unintentional exponential ramping to the Tornado skill.
  
• Fixed issue where the merging of explosive mushrooms (Warden) would merge the Warden's shrooms with Treant shrooms procced via the Barbed Spores mastery, leading to absurd damage growth for Shrooms and Pods.
  
• Fixed being able to use portal scrolls in Boss Anomalies.
  
• Fixed issue where multiple portals could spawn on top of eachother.
  
• Fixed not being able to close out of the Beast panel with a gamepad if not having the DLC or an active Beast.
  
• Fixed all DLC and other recently added enemies not having full Codex data (affixes etc).
  
• Fixed Codex listing all Rootlings as Elemental foes, rather than Fae.
  
• Fixed issue where in rare cases, some icons might not show up on the minimap.
  
• Fixed getting stuck after talking to the quest NPC's in Gates of Hell in Act 5.
  
• Possible fix for some Passive skill damage numbers not showing unless you enabled companion damage numbers.
  
• Fixed Champions having incorrect or missing names in Chinese.
  
• Fixed bad linebreaks & formatting in enchanting tooltips.
  
• Fixed crash when re-entering the Lushlands from The Roost after repeating the boss.
  
• Fixed rare crash that could happen when using certain portal scrolls.
  
• Fixed rare crash that could happen if bad character data was trying to load.
  
• Fixed crash that could occur when right-clicking Bramley.
  

Hey everyone!

Thanks for all the feedback, reports, and kind comments!
We are happy to hear you are having a good time with the DLC.

Of course, a few issues popped up and we have now taken care of the most immediate problems.

We have also got a lot of feedback about very varied drop rates for Mythical crafting materials. To improve the feel of this, we have added a small system that should make the drops feel a lot better - full details in the notes below!

Please keep the feedback coming, as in the next week we will go through everything we have learned, and work towards making the DLC even better!

Thank you!




1.32.2:
Misc:

• Added a little checkbox to the DLC menu in-game that verifies if the DLC is correctly installed & recognized on your account.
  

• Drop rates for Mythical weapon parts have been changed.. a sort of "anti bad luck" system is now in place:
  
  
  
  • If you've never seen a weapon part, your drop rate is significantly increased.
    
  • You should no longer get two of the same weapon part in a row - they should always alternate.
    
  • If you do a lot of anomalies without any drops, your drop rate is slowly increased until you get one.
    
  • In co-op, the Mythical weapon parts are now rolled for independently for each player.
    
  
  

• Fixed some typos.
  
• Fixed crashing from expedition nodes (related to zooming).
  
• Fixed crashing from gamepads.
  
• Fixed attempting to load incorrect or partial translations.
  
• Fixed being able to click some Puzzle expedition end points repeatedly to spawn a lot of portals.
  
• Fixed issue where the "skip ahead" feature, letting your alt characters skip the tutorial DLC quests, didn't properly work for skipping the egg hatching quest if you had fully grown all beasts, causing the character to get stuck on that quest.
  

Here we go!

Our first DLC - Ancient Beasts - is now available at the link below.

We hope you will enjoy it!

Thank you everyone for your support!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1599010/Chronicon__Ancient_Beasts/

Hey everyone!

Big day today!

We've just released update 1.32.0, fixing some issues, tweaking a few things, adding a few other, and most importantly, getting ready for the DLC.

The DLC launch is at 19:00 CET, you can get the exact time in your country by checking out the event in the DLC announcement.

Additionally, if you are a fan of the soundtrack, we are happy to announce that all DLC tracks will be added for free to the Chronicon Original Soundtrack - for both current and future owners.

We will make another announcement when the DLC is live... see you then!


Full notes below:

1.32.0
Anomalies & Endgame:

• Added butterflies & faeries as potential ambience effects to forest anomalies.
  
• Added a new rare Anomaly modifier that drastically increases the amount of Shrines spawned in that Anomaly.
  
• Added another rare Anomaly modifier that drastically increases the amount of Chests spawned in that Anomaly.
  
• This makes the possible rare Anomaly modifiers the following:
  
  
  
  • Gold Piles as breakables (extra currency)
    
  • Only Minions
    
  • Only King Slimes
    
  • Only Void Spawns
    
  • Mysterious Enemies (enemies from Act 2 secret "space forest" area)
    
  • All monsters gain "Crystal Hoarder", "Collector", or "Gem Hoarder" affixes.
    
  • Lots of Chests
    
  • Lots of Shrines
    
  • *Some of these may combine.
    
  
  

• Gargoyles now gib into bits of rock rather than nothing.
  
• Surger affix champions are now less likely to "shotgun" melee characters as the lightning orbs have had their damage spread out over several frames and with slight delays.
  
• Interrupts now have diminishing returns when used rapidly and repeatedly vs the same target:
  
  
  
  • - Each successful interrupt reduces the chance of the next to hit, however the chance to hit is regenerating constantly while they are not being interrupted.
    
  • - The end result impact on gameplay should be pretty small, but it will allow enemies to get some attacks off rather than being completely interrupt-locked.
    
  
  

• The overhead healthbar (can be toggled via the Settings menu) now also shows Staggered Damage, like the HUD healthbar does.
  
• When opening the Anomaly Waypoint for the first time and getting the little tutorial, you can now only select the 3 base Anomaly types (avoids errors and confusion for first time players accidentally picking the endless tiers).
  
• Holding (or toggling) "inspect all" now also shows item cards when hoving over the item name tags.
  

• Added a Health enchant to Elementium Armor (requires a fresh drop).
  
• Added a CDR enchant to Jon's Book of Souls (requires a fresh drop).
  
• Bags will now be radially looted if they match the quality filter.
  
• All crafting materials have had their values manually adjusted - the more rare things are now worth a lot more, and the common things are worth less.
  
• Increased Crown drop rate from Story bosses (and Greater/Lesser Boss Anomalies).
  

• Mini Events: There will now be fireworks when interacting with NPC's on New Year's Eve and the game's release anniversary each year.
  
• Localization: Added support for Korean font.
  
• Minor performance improvements.
  

• Fixed problems with Chinese font becoming harder to read after the previous update.
  
• Fixed issue with several effects checking for movement/stationary such as Blazing Striders (Templar boots) and Careful Aim (Warden) not properly swapping beetween their tick up and tick down modes.
  
• Fixed being able to subtract Mastery points from the bottom and top Class Mastery rows below the 65-point requirement for the final perk, while keeping the perk.
  
• Fixed Sporelings on-use Spore effects not properly stacking with their on-attack (and the players') spore effects.
  
• Fixed the Tornado empowerment (when casting over the instance cap) granting extreme amounts of damage.
  
• Fixed Tornados spawned from Norla's Gale (rune) being slower than regular Tornados.
  
• Fixed crash when changing inventory tab while browsing the buyback section.
  
• Fixed some quest check/updates for older characters that may have gone out of sync in the past due to old co-op issues.
  
• Fixed Endless Anomaly essence rewards sometimes not going up by 1 in the next Tier, and then going up by 2 in the following Tier (is now 1 each Tier, as expected, where this problem occurred).
  
• Fixed not being able to navigate to the "back" button while in the "more" menu of the main menu, while using a controller.
  
• Fixed Simulacra clones (Warlock TL staff) using the default death animation even if having another skin equipped.
  
• Fixed the interface settings menu not letting you set the clock option with a gamepad.
  
• Fixed the Mastery select popups for Player 2 appearing partially off-screen on certain scale setting and resolution combinations.
  
• Fixed many small weird things going on with gamepads and related UI in co-op.
  
• Fixed some missing Chinese characters.
  
• Fixed companions not being able to reach the final Story boss.
  

Hey everyone!

Finally, we have a date: February 25th!

We put together a short trailer for you.. have a look!

And don't forget to wishlist so you don't miss the release!

Thanks for being patient - we hope you will enjoy this DLC!

Hey everyone!

As usual with a big update we tend to break a few things... here's an update to take care of some of these issues. We've identified a few more issues that we are working on as well. Thanks for the reports!


1.31.1:
Extra Stash Tab Notes:

• We accidentally included a little secret from the new DLC: An additional stash tab.
  
• Well, we partially included it, and it would self-correct when it detected you didn't have the DLC, and eat any items you put into the new tab.
  
• A pretty big mistake on our end, and we are sorry for people losing items, so the extra stash tab will now be free for everyone (and it won't eat items anymore).
  

• Fixed the new Rune Weight system overwriting the guaranteed cycle for a fresh character - both system should now work (first get one of each Rune, then weigh towards least obtained account wide).
  
• Fixed some Chinese localization issues.
  
• Fixed major encoding issue with Spanish localization, which removed random characters making some parts of the text unintelligible.
  
• Fixed Spirit Guard and Battlemaster's Cape affix appearing incorrectly on items it was runed to.
  
• Fixed the endgame UI sometimes showing incorrect button prompts for controllers.
  
• Fixed invisible walls in new cave layout.
  
• Fixed the Monster Hunter achievement for real this time.
  
• Fixed some misplaced shrine spawns in Act 4 areas.
  
• Fixed stackable items not automatically stacking if they were put in the last inventory slot.
  
• Fixed transmuting an item with keys marked as favorite giving an error message but still allowing the transmutation.
  

It's that time of the year again!

The Chronicon Christmas Event is now live!

Help Tinka with some problems in his workshop, find presents with randomized loot, collect a special holiday item set, large bags, and more! Or just marvel at the holiday decor that Korem put up around The Chronicon, just for you.

Enjoy, and happy holidays!

Hey everyone!

We've decided to split the DLC from the update we were working on alongside it, so we're releasing the update immediately, and the DLC early next year. Originally we planned to bundle the two and release them both before christmas, but looking at where we are, we wouldn't be able to get things to a level of quality we are happy with on time. The DLC is 99% done, but that last 1% is always the most important and time consuming one!

This being our first DLC release, we really want to get it right, and do right by everyone who loves and supports Chronicon. We hope you will find it worth the wait!

In the meantime, we've updated the DLC store page with some fresh new screenshots, and we'll have a lot more to share on the DLC and future content in the next year!

Have a look:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1599010/Chronicon__Ancient_Beasts/


Anyway, on with the 1.31.0 update!

There are some significant fixes and tweaks, which is why we decided to release it a bit earlier.
In particular, some balancing changes to boss health and damage in Anomalies (we expect to need to tune this further based on your feedback), as well as tweaks and fixes to some weird item and skill interactions. In particular, Crown of Innate Possibilities double dipped on Mastery and item/power-boosted procs, so if you find that this has impacted your build a lot, do let us know, as we suspect the item may need need some tweaks after this fix.

As always, thanks for your reports and suggestions, and please let us know if any issues pop up and we'll get right on that.

Thanks, hope you enjoy!

Full notes:

1.31.0:
Anomalies & Monsters:

• Increased damage of all Anomaly bosses to be on par with Lesser Act bosses (ie bosses in Acts before the final boss/Lesser Boss Anomalies).

• Updated some randomized champion names.

As always, thanks for the many suggestions, comments, and bug reports!

Hope you enjoy the update!

1.30.0:

24 new enemy variations!



• Based on existing enemies, and appearing in Anomalies. Technically tied to the upcing DLC areas, but we threw these in here to give some more variation for the base game too.
  

Added a weather system!



• Currently has: snow, sandstorm, rain, and ash/cinders.
  
• Weather is tied to some story areas and may randomly appear in Anomalies in low-medium intensity to not get in your way while still adding some nice ambiance. (And in DLC content)

Hey everyone!

1.20.0 is finally here with some big new features!

With this update we have added the Skin & Dye system, which currently offers 2 unlockable skins for each class, and 8 unique dyes for each class - 4 of which are unlocked from the start. We plan to expand on this system with more skins and dyes being added in the future, too!

Tinka's Domain also got a makeover and is now much larger and has some space reserved for Secret Future Things, as well as having a brand new soundtrack that makes it a very atmospheric place to hang out and theorycraft :-)

Speaking of theorycrafting - several sets have been buffed and many items and runes got tweaked, changed, and a few even got replaced with something more suitable (or usable). There's also a few new items and runes for you to discover!

There's also a new Death Recap system, which is a log of what happened to your character before it died, which you can read to figure out what defenses you may need to improve etc.

Along with that comes also a bunch of QoL improvements and fixes, such as being able to lower the amount of particles from spells & effects, always loading in to the last visited hub (Chronicon or Tinka's) when loading up your character, and more.

Last but not least, Endless Tier Boosting is now adaptive and will let you boost more tiers the further you get, up to a maximum of 10 tiers per run!


And now we begin work on the first DLC which will expand upon the endgame content quite a bit. We will have more info to share as things progress, but you can refer to the roadmap to see the overall plans for the rest of the year.

And as you may have noticed, this text is full of "we" and not "I" - that's because as of a few months ago, my fiance has officially joined Subworld and the development of Chronicon! She's been with us the entire way since before the Early Access launch in 2015, giving me feedback and painstakingly helping me test things. And as of this year she's been taking on larger responsibilities like world & system design! We've worked on some pretty cool things lately, which you'll see in the first DLC, later this year! I'll remain the outward voice but you'll probably see her pop up on the forums or in support email from time to time under the nickname "Marruu". Yes, the same as Commander Marruu from Act 2 :-)

Anyway, please give her a warm welcome!


And, as always, thank you for the bug reports, suggestions, comments, and fun discussions!

That's all for now, I hope you enjoy the update!

Hotfix:

Hey everyone!

This update mainly focuses on fixing issues and improving QoL, but it also adds the second official translation: Spanish!

If you play with click-to-move I think you will find that it's much more responsive, and I'd love to get your feedback on the changes. I've also changed the item cards when you hover items on the ground to be the same as the one you see in the inventory, and I've moved it to the bottom right corner so it doesn't obscure your vision in fights.

Aside from that, a bunch of recent and old issues alike have been fixed. Some were hard to reproduce and confirm so please let me know if any issue persists and I will get back on that!

Next big update will be 1.20 - check out the roadmap here for more info on the coming updates!

Thanks!

• Fixed some parts of Act 2 being able to spawn Shrines that blocked the path.
  
• Fixed pathfinding not being updated when doors were locked or unlocked (opened/closed), giving problems to AI, companions, and click-to-move.
  
• Fixed several inconsistencies and issues with click-to-move controls which could lead to the player getting stuck.
  
• Fixed Ancestral Rage rune (Berserker) causing Frostskin to give absurd amounts of resistance.

Hey everyone!

The in-game Christmas event is now live!

During this event you'll be able to go into Tinka's Workshop to help him with a slight corruption problem... in here you'll face a Unique foe which can drop several Legendary Christmas-themed items - including a max sized bag!

You'll also get a lot of wrapped gifts, which when opened will reveal random items. Keep in mind that your loot filter setting will affect these gifts, so they may appear empty when opened!

Lastly you'll find that some locations, including Anomalies, will have some decoration fitting the season, and that your Crystals appear a lot more edible...

The event will last through the rest of the year.

I hope you enjoy this special event!



A bugfix update is also scheduled for later this week - so stay tuned for that!

Thank you!

Hey everyone!

The most recent update introduced a few issues which should hopefully be resolved now.
Unfortunately I had to temporarily remove some effects of a few berserker skills to stop the crashing, but they will be back as soon as I can make it work again. A new engine update sometimes introduces new issues that can be hard to pin down, so if you get any weird behavior or crashes, please let me know, and I will get right on it!

Thank you!

1.10.7:
Fixes:

• Fixed crash on triggering the Act 5 gate cutscene.
  
• Fixed Overload not breaking objects.
  
• Fixed Arc Punch, Overload, Lightning Fist, and Shattering Punch causing a crash.
  
• Note: They no longer fire off projectiles/lightning - this will be added back.
  

Hey everyone!

Update 1.10.6 is now live with fixes for recent issues, as well as some general tweaks and performance increases.

Notably, the game is now also 64-bit!
If you are running an older 32-bit system, you can find a 32-bit version in the BETA branches on steam, but please be aware that 32-bit will not be supported indefinitely.

Linux users: 1.10.6 will be rolled out to Linux systems sometime later, as we are having some problems compiling in the latest engine version. I hope this will not delay us too much.


A time-limited Christmas event will go live on December 15th, so keep an eye out for that!
During this event you'll find extra loot - as neatly wrapped gifts! You'll also be able to visit a special location, and you'll find that the denizens of the word of Chronicon has decorated for the season. More info coming on the 15th!

Here are the full notes:

I hope this answers your questions about the continued support of Chronicon!

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

Hey everyone!

We've had some issues with Anti-Virus flagging the game as kinda sus, so this update will hopefully fix that! From testing, it was most likely related to clearing out some old data, which was caught as a suspicious action.

Also, if you had issues with your characters not showing up on the Load Hero menu, this update should also fix this - if this issue persists, please send a screenshot of the load menu along with your save files to help@subworldgames.com and I will investigate further. Note: your save data is not lost, the game is just not recognizing it for some players, so do not worry!

Anyway, I'm sorry for the inconvenience this might have caused, and I think you for being understanding and helping me test and verify the issues!

Hey everyone!

The yearly Halloween in-game event is now live!
You'll find a new area in which you can do quests and obtain a few items available only during this event. It's a great time to add that one seasonal event item missing from your Item Codex...
You'll also find that the game is a lot spookier overall!

This event lasts through October 20th-31st.

(And Update 1.1 is also coming very soon.)

Have fun!

Hey everyone!

I am back in health and back at work, fixing issues and tweaking stuff!

This update improves support for custom translations by adding an in-game menu to change language from, and it also adds the first official translation: Simplified Chinese! In the future I plan on adding support for more community translations by adding additional fonts, such as Korean. I may be adding more official translations down the line as well.

This update also fixes a few crashes and tweaks a few things. Thanks for all the reports, comments, and suggestions! I am now shifting focus entirely to 1.1, which will bring a lot of new QoL features, buff/tweak a lot of sets and items, add a save backup system, endgame improvements, and also fix a large amount of bugs - among other things!

Thanks everyone!

1.00.6:
Enchants & Powers:

• All enchants & powers that required a silly amount of Greater Augments to reach cap no longer do so.
  

• Tuned down some enemy AoE effects that were likely to one-shot you.
  
• Added a few frames of invulnerability after a "save from death" effect has triggered so you don't die regardless before being able to react due to rapid/queued hits.
  

• Added the first official translation: Simplified Chinese!
  
• Your custom translations will now be discovered by the game and selectable from the in-game menu, so you don't have to manually edit the config file to change language anymore.
  
• Incorrectly set up languages will default to English.
  
• Help index can now be translated and have been moved to locale/help.
  

• Fixed memory leak related to belt items.
  
• Fixed a few crashes related to corrupt characters.
  
• Fixed a some loading problems.
  
• Fixed being able to drop items on the current stash tab and the stash eating them.
  
• Fixed The Last Word (Berserker fist) not working.
  

Hey everyone!

Thanks for your continued support and reports!

This is another bugfix update that takes care of a large amount of issues.
I've also added some slight QoL features that were requested in the past few days.

I have been asked about a roadmap with future plans so I will be making one sometime soon, where I will list my plans for some time ahead. However here's a short summary of the next few steps:
I will soon shift my focus entirely to 1.1 which will largely be a huge QoL update with skill tweaks, interface tweaks, improved anomaly layouts, wider language support, and much more!
And after that, I shift my focus to something bigger.

More on this later!


Thanks everyone, I hope you enjoy!

Hey everyone!

I can't believe I'm typing this.. but I have set a release date!
Chronicon will fully launch as 1.0.0 on August 21st!

The Early Access price will remain with a small launch discount for a few days, to give everyone who's been waiting for full release a last chance to pick it up at lower price point. Afterwards, the game price will increase a few dollars to its intended full price.

What's next?
I hope to be able to continue support to game for a long time with fresh free smaller content updates, as well as paid DLC with major content updates. You can expect more info on this later this year!

Thank you to everyone who has supported me & the game through this very long Early Access period!


And here's a little teaser with some Act 5 content:
[previewyoutube=dxK7JEUDlKs;full][/previewyoutube]

See you on the 21st!

Hey everyone!

Here's a few fixes for a couple recent issues. I've also removed some old achievements and added new, broader ones in the same category, namely kill "X of Y" type achievements. In the future you can expect a few codex-related ones, too. And of course a bunch for Act5! When you see those appear in the achievements list, 1.0 is near....


Thanks for the reports, suggestions, and comments!


Here's the full notes:
0.98.1:
Added new Achievements:

• Removed some old very specific kill-related ones and added new kill-type achievements for all enemy types; Beast, Fae, etc.
  

• Controller default bindings now puts radial loot on left stick pressed, instead of "display all items on ground".
  

• Fixed some enemies (Elves in particular) sliding around after death.
  
• Fixed some enemy affixes that were on "pulse" setting happening even after they had died.
  
• Fixed companion health scaling going backwards after Endless Tier 42.
  
• Fixed "MISSING TEXT" on some locked chests.
  
• Fixed some typos in dialogue.
  
• Fixed Elven Druid spawn animations being stuck in the first frame.
  

Hey everyone!

This update should take care of the issues with indirect damage suddenly being extremely lethal, as it was balanced when a bug that was fixed in the previous update was active. I also added two new stats and enchants to specifically let you deal with indirect damage if you find your preferred form of defenses lacking in that area. While I was doing that I figured I'd take a poke at the endless tier scaling, as it rapidly got a bit out of hand, and - as always - I got a bit carried away and made a larger update than intended. I've also fixed a couple issues that popped up, gave Warden some tweaks, and poked at a few other things here and there.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this update!

Now I'm off to dig myself deep into Act 5 work :-)


Here's the full notes:
0.98.0:
Difficulty & Mechanics:

• Rebalanced all indirect damage and DoT damage from enemies, and gave it an upper cap - indirect damage can no longer deal more than 5% of your health in damage per strike/tick. Best way to combat indirect damage is by your preferred method of sustain (hoh, hpr, healing skill/codex, etc) rather than beefing up your health pool. (And using the new stats, of course!)
  
• Tweaked enemy damage bonus curve through endgame difficulties - once you get high enough (endless T42 and forwards) the curve flattens and becomes liniear, so you can shift focus to doing more damage instead of avoiding pesky one-shots.
  
• Similarly, enemy health bonus flattens on T100, and starts to slowly pick up again as you progress further.
  
• Increased bonus experience per endless tier reached.
  
• Enemy "on hit" affixes are now calculated as the final step in damage calculation, meaning after shields and such has been considered.
  
• Suffering Thorns damage now has an internal cooldown of 20 frames so you don't nuke yourself on Thorn packs.
  
• Thorns still punch through shields (as intended).
  
• Trap damage now scales with difficulty (oops).
  

All:



• Lightfooted (Perk) now also affects companions.
  

Warden:



• Companion passives buffed:
  
  
  
  • Moon Howl (Wolves) damage boost increased to 11/18/25%, up from 9/12/15%
    
  • Empowerment (Pixies) damage boost increased to 10/15/20%, up from 6/8/10%
    
  • Antivenom (Spiders) resistance boost increased to 20/30/40%, up from 15/20/25%
    
  • Thorny (Treants) thorn bonus increased to 30/50/70%, up from 9/12/15%
    
  • Oak Wisdom (Treants) mana bonus increased to 10/20/30%, up from 12/15/18%
    
  
  

• Added two new defensive stats: Ground Effect Resistance, and Indirect Damage Resistance.
  
• Added enchants for the new stats: Ground Effect Resistance can be found on Boots and Accessories. Indirect Damage Resistance can be found on Helmets and Amulets. Both are considered Minor enchants.
  

• Improved stat panel on the interface by dividing stats into more clear groups.
  
• Help index updated with new stats.
  

• Fixed issue with skill resets causing blank allocated skills.
  
• Fixed characters playing powerful skill shouts/grunts on default attacks (when not having any skill assigned in leftmost slot).
  
• Fixed issue where Act 4 Troves achievement would trigger before the last one was found.
  
• Fixed crash when Trogs smashed urns.
  
• Fixed Codex adding everything in your stash to the counters on each game start.
  

• Updated stats locale and enchants locale with the new stats & enchants.
  

Hey everyone!

Thanks for the reports! Here's a tiny fix to solve the more pressing issues. A few other things have been brought to my attention and will also be fixed sometime soon. This update also features improved Linux support, so it should work without any tweaking for more Linux players now.

Have a good weekend!

0.97.3:
Misc:

• Added a new help index entry about damage & defensive mechanics.
  
• Made Screaming Skulls (monster affix) cast less rapidly on higher difficulties.
  
• Added Act 5 locations to Codex.
  
• Improved Linux support.
  

• Fixed not being able to refund skill points after importing builds several times.
  
• Fixed issue where indirect damage would perform the same stat checks as direct damage (whereas it should ignore all those), meaning it incorrectly scaled with resistances and didn't pierce barriers.
  
• Fixed issue where you could load any build with any number of mastery points spent, regardless of your mastery level.
  
• If the "champions" file cannot be found in the selected language, it'll load the default English one instead of crashing.
  

Hi everyone!

Thanks again for the rapid reports! Here's another small update to take care of some recent issues. Let me know if anything else pops up!

Special thanks to Liam Dawe for helping with recent Linux troubles.

Thanks!

0.97.2:
Monsters:

• Added some more names attached to Elites with certain affix rolls.
  

• Added a volume slider specifically for error speech, such as "not enough mana".
  

• Added new & improved launch script which should work across Ubuntu, Manjaro, and Arch.
  

• Fixed being able to both gamble and acquire Wraps of the Lone Ranger outside of Legendary difficulty.
  
• Fixed Sun & Moon set behaving incorrectly.
  

• Added locale:
  
  
  
  • menu/AUDIO OPTIONS/error_vol
    
  • new file: champions - contains all champion name and affixes
    
  
  

Hey everyone!

Thanks for the quick reports - I have fixed the issues that popped up with all the new stuff.
Hopefully that's all for a while!

I'm glad to hear so many are enjoying the new update too!

Thank you!

0.97.1:
Voices:

• Added a slight cooldown to the "not enough mana" and "not yet" error speech. Note that you can hold keys to attack rather than spam click, and this will make your characters speak much less frequently and also prevent that ARPG RSI. :-)
  

• Fixed an odd crash when generating runes at the end of Anomalies.
  
• Fixed character's endlessly saying "Not yet" when having skills on cooldown and using click-to-move.
  
• Fixed the codex not scanning your equipment and stash on load.
  
• Fixed Potions, Elixirs, and other misc items not displaying their descriptions.
  
• Fixed issue where Anomaly would get stuck on ~97% progress.
  

Hey everyone!

This update took a lot longer than intended, simply because I decided to cram in most of the planned pre-release features into a single update! That's right, aside from fixes, QoL, and smaller updates, the next big one will be 1.0! Of course, it'll be a while before then - it's gonna be a pretty huge update, after all.

So what's in the update?
In short:
I've added a build export/import system, so you can now save your builds and quickly swap between them. This includes both skills and masteries, and the builds can be loaded up on any character of the same class. Even your friends' characters if you send them your build files. Or attach them to your build guide! Just talk to Korem or Tinka and they'll let you export & import.

There's an in-game Codex that tracks and lists progression in terms of areas visited, waypoints found, unique monsters killed, regular monsters killed, unique+ items obtained, runes obtained, and several other nice and helpful stats and tidbits of info, such as rough indicators of how to obtain items you don't have.

I've also added a few new items and added new and more interesting effects to some existing ones, such as the oddly useless Quadruplets. I think you'll find them more useful now!

Last but not least: I've worked with a number of skilled voice actors who have added countless of voice lines to bosses, npc's, and --- your characters! Yes, your characters will now grunt and shout at you when you don't have enough mana, and react to certain in-game events, such as killstreaks, and much more!

And as always there is a bunch of requested QoL features and fixes!

And, finally, a big thank you to everyone who has been reporting bugs, posting suggestions, and participating in the discussions both here on Steam and on Discord!

I hope you enjoy this update - have fun and stay safe!

Here are the full notes:


0.97.0:
New feature - Build export & import!:

• You can now export your current build (skills & masteries) to a .build file (saves to ...\AppData\Local\Chronicon\save\builds\) and name it whatever you want.
  
• You can now import builds (will completely overwrite your current build, but not edit any exported builds) - any build matching your class that is in the builds directory will be available to pick from here.
  
• This is all done by talking to Korem in The Chronicon or Tinka in Tinka's Domain - similarly to how Skill/Mastery resets work.
  
• Note:
  
• Your character must be level 100 to gain access to the import/export features.
  
• This build format will easily work with third party tools, such as build planners (in both directions), and you can easily share your build files and include them in guides, etc.
  

• The Codex will record most aspects of your adventures!
  
• It has a complete list of all enemies and bosses in the game, and will provide useful info and lore on them, as well as showing stats such as kills and deaths.
  
• It also has a complete list of all areas in the game, showing wheter or not you've explored it, found the waypoint, found the zone-specific unique foe (if any), and other neat stats.
  
• In addition to this, it has a complete index over all Runes and equipment of Unique or higher quality. It will list how many times you've found each item, as well as any powers and "implicit" stats on the items.
  
• It'll also tell you the minimum level required to find the item, if it's from a unique foe, quest reward, or from crafting - etc!
  
• All in all it's like a mini wiki and stat tracker at the same time - perfect for the completionist!
  
• Note:
  
• All tracking is done locally and is considered "account wide" - so all your characters will have shared tracking and progression in the Codex.
  
• You'll need to enter the game with each of your characters to have their inventories and personal stashes scanned and added to the Codex!
  
• (Unfortunately, monster kills and some area-related stats can not be added retroactively, so you'll have to re-visit areas to fully complete them in the Codex)
  

Hey everyone!

Here's another small update with some new stuff, some tweaks, some mechanic changes, and fixes. A few issues remain, so you can expect a few more small updates like these going forwards.

0.97.0 will likely be ready sometime (late) next month, and it'll feature the much requested build saving! That means creating, saving, loading, and sharing character builds easily! So stay tuned for that :-)

Thanks for your reports, comments, and suggestions!


Here's the full notes:

0.96.2:
Items & Runes:

Added new runes:



• Lesser Rune of Potency (All) - Active skills deal x% increased damage based on their percentage cost in mana.
  
• Lesser Rune of Frozen Graves (Warlock) - Foes affected by Frozen Fate have a 0.xx% chance per missing health percentage to instantly die and cause Corpse Shatter when struck.
  
• Lesser Rune of The Devouring Star (Warlock) - Deathly Barrage now spawns a single powerful star. It will periodically absorb any Frigid Star that comes within 4 meters, refreshing its own duration and gain xxx% of the absorbed spell's damage.
  

Improved item:



• Tome of Vengeance (Templar) - now allows the Dancing Blades to trigger Sharp Steel at up to 200% efficiency.
  
• Now also rolls Companion Damage instead of Physical damage.
  

• Added a "reverse nova" type of particle effect, which is used on the following skills (so far):
  
• Revert, Healing Touch, Taunt, and The Devouring Star effect.
  
• Crafted items now have a "Crafted" tag on them - making it much easier to distinguish dropped vs transmuted Runes, for example. (Not retroactive currently)
  

• Augmenting an enchant that has had its minimum roll increased (or added) in an update now automatically brings it up to the new minimum value, rather than having to augment all the way up from 0. (Normally the changed enchant or power is automatically updated on all your items, however this is not always possible)
  
• Enemies who are not damageable/targetable now skip most checks, such as collisions, buffs, etc. improving performance, pathfinding, and hit checking somewhat.
  
• You can now target and damage enemies which have had their spawn animation triggered, and no longer need to wait for them to "finish" spawning.
  

• Fixed the gamepad disconnection popup being able to pop during loadscreens / dungeon generation and kinda wrecking it all. It will now nicely wait until you have loaded in.
  
• Fixed the stat cap visual indication not actually updating.
  
• Fixed skill reset Achievement not popping with the new skill reset method.
  
• Fixed Expulsion visually appearing on the Templar instead of on the target it triggers on.
  
• Fixed many skills targeting enemies which couldn't be targeted or damaged at the time.
  
• Fixed buffs and effects going off on enemies which aren't able to be damaged.
  
• Fixed minor typo in Act 3 summary dialogue.
  
• Fixed some recently changed enchants & powers that didn't update to their new roll ranges.
  

• Added locale:
  
• items/GENERAL/tag_crafted
  

Hey everyone!

After a refreshing holiday I am back, and what better way to start off the year than with a big bug fix?

After this update I will be working on getting some more content out, such as new items and runes, and something else... You can also expect small fixes here and there as per usual.

This year will also be a big year for Chronicon - 1.0 release year!
I will be making a post on what that means and what you can expect, sometime in the near future.

Many thanks for the suggestions, reports, and comments!

Here's the full notes of this update:

0.96.1:
Linux:

• Updated the launch script to work on more distributions (thanks to "[Linux] Liam" on Steam!)
  

• You can now drag items from equipped slots directly onto stash tab icons to place them in the tab.
  
• Stat system caps made more flexible in order to properly display when an increased cap has been reached, and to allow future cap improvements via skills and powers.
  
• Items with internal cooldowns (Jeopardy, Hellstone, etc) now lists the cooldown in the description.
  

• Templar:
  
  
  
  • Ring of Blades now notes it is affected by Companion Damage.
    
  • Because of some funky interactions between Tenacious Defender and Art of Combat, Tenacious Defender now resets its counter when 3 Cleaves are reached, rather than rolling back 3.
    
  • Shields can now roll Damage Stagger.
    
  
  

• Dots/debuffs on players have always had a very low damage cap - this cap now grows with difficulty up to Mythic 1, to approx 65% higher than before.
  
• Effects which require no companion skills now also consider skills that are primarily of a different type (ultimate, passive) and provide companions, such as the Warlock's Infernal Demon Ultimate skill, the Templar's Soul Replica, etc.
  

• Improved Stash saving timings further.
  
• Improved performance of some heavier particle effects, most notably the spells cast by Blood Mages.
  
• The overlay map setting is now saved per character.
  

• Templar:
  
  
  
  • The Templar now has access to two Companion Health and Companion Damage nodes in her Mastery tree.
    
  • Clarified description of Fulmination that it strikes within melee range.
    
  • Consecration is now limited to a single instance.
    
  • Soul Purge now allows Expulsion to crit.

Hey everyone!

This update adds a much requested way to remove single skill points instead of having to reset all of them at once. The skill reset Elixirs have also been removed, and you'll now either reset all points or remove as many as you wish by speaking to Korem in The Chronicon, or Tinka in Tinka's Domain (endgame). No more accidentally binding a full mastery reset to the belt slot (yikes!).

I've also added a few new items, a rune, and tweaked and improved several existing items by adding more interesting powers to them.

In addition to this I've also fixed many reported issues and added a lot of requested quality of life features such as spell persistence between loading screen.

And finally, with this update the Holiday event is active! Help Tinka clear out the corruption from his secret workshop, and maybe find some fancy holiday equipment and a bag while you're there!

If the need arises, you can expect some smaller bugfixes in the coming weeks, as usual.

Thanks everyone, and happy holidays!

0.96.0:
New Feature:

• You can now remove single skill points rather than doing a full reset!

  • Dragonring (Berserker) Legendary Ring (lvl 40+): Damage taken from burn effects now trigger Molten Veins. The triggered Molten Veins' damage is increased by x% for each percentage of health lost from the damage taken.
    
  • Hydraloop (All) Legendary Ring (lvl 20+): Chance on attack to summon a Rank 5 Magma Hydra.
    
  
  
• Tweaked Items:

  • Flamebound Armor (Berserker) now also grants HPR via Embershield, which is tripled if the Berserker is on fire.
    
  • Helm of Might (Berserker) now properly adds to the "rage based passive effect" stat rather than being its own special thing, so it is now additive with similar effects, such as Strong Bloodline (Mastery).
    
  
  
• New Runes:
  
  
  
  • Lesser Rune of The Dragon Flame: Embershield, Flame Roll, and Flamewrath deal x% more damage and no longer have a cooldown, but causes a burn on the Berserker that deals 1% of his Health as fire damage per second, for 7 seconds. This effect stacks up to 10 times.
    
  
  
• Tweaked Runes:

• Added full sound effects for Imps and Little Devils.
  
• Enemies now grunt less frequently when being critically hit.
  
• Removed internal cooldown of thorns on Companions (enemies have a half second cooldown on thorn procs).

• You now talk to Korem or Tinka (endgame) to reset Skills and Masteries, for free. They can also let you edit out individual points.
  

• Improved auto-save timings - "important event" auto-saves can only happen if no save has happened in the last 15 minutes. Stashes no longer read & write so frequently.
  
• Added controller disconnection detection and a rebind menu that pops up, so you can swap to a different controller or to the keyboard.
  
• You can now also once again swap between controller and keyboard via the pause menu.
  
• Added entry to help index stats about Companion Passive and Use Effect.
  

• Added a "spell persistence" system which should make all spells attached to the player follow them through portals and load screens.
  
• Affected spells are:
  
  
  
  • Magnetic Blades (Templar)
    
  • Magnetic Orbs (Templar)

• Dragmageddon (Berserker) now has a slight delay for each fireball dropped.
  
• Shrooms (Warden) of all kinds no longer perform line of sight (LOS) checks, because of their random nature and how they frequently plant around corners and pillars, thus meaning they'll more frequently land hits.
  
• Barbed Spores (Warden Mastery) now only grows Explosive Mushrooms, not Toxic or Hallucinative ones.
  
• Armageddon (Warlock) now has a 15/20/25% chance to reset the cooldown of Meteor/Firestorm/Inferno, up from 12/16/20%.
  

• Fixed some minor issues in item generation leading to unintended results.

• Fixed several enchants having very low roll ranges compared to their augment caps. (Enrage, Crit Heal, Burst, Kill Hoarder, Kill Explode, Kill Pickups, Kill Damage).
  
• Fixed issue where Sludge Threads would deal direct damage.
  
• Fixed typos, grammar, and coloring errors on skill, item, set, and rune descriptions, as well as clarifying some with multiple interpretations or vague descriptions.

Hey everyone!

Another quick update as I missed a few things with the resolution update last week.

This update should fix oddities when using resolutions or aspect ratios that do not match your monitor. This is mostly noticeable when playing on ultra-wide, but should be an improvement all around.

Thanks for the reports!

Here are the full notes:

0.95.6
Fullscreen Resolution Stuff:

• Improved fullscreen resolution support when using settings that don't match your monitor
  
• Improved fullscreen resolution for ultrawide, though while it is not natively supported per se, it doesn't look terrible anymore
  
• Slightly improved performance when using lower resolutions
  
• Fixed odd stretching and lighting/shadow errors in fullscreen
  
• Fixed mouse out of bounds problem when using resolutions that doesn't match your monitor
  

Hey everyone!

This update should take care of most issues, and also adds a fullscreen resolution setting. This should help people playing on large resolution notebooks and similar, as you now should be able to lower the in-game resolution to gain a higher FPS.

I wasn't able to reproduce nor verify a few of the bugs, so if you have experienced any of the bugs listed as "possible fix" near the bottom of the notes, please let me know if this update helped or not.

Thanks for all the reports, suggestions, and comments!


Here are the full notes:
0.95.5
Additions:

• Added an experimental fullscreen resolution option so you now can downscale for extra frames.
  
• Added fullscreen resolution detection to match desktop resolution, however you may need to lower it if playing on a notebook or similar.
  
• Improved visual of Divine Salvo with Council's Gavel (Templar).
  
• Improved tiling of many area types, preventing ground effects from clipping through ceilings of caves, canopies of forests, etc.
  

• Fixed controller detection on main menu not registering the left/right sticks.
  
• Fixed keyboard detection on main menu repeatedly detecting keyboard keys at all presses, preventing re-binding of keys.
  
• Fixed a large amount of typos and grammar errors on dialogue and lore texts.
  
• Fixed Warlock getting stuck inside pillars and walls sometimes when using Soul Warp with the click-to-move control option.
  
• Fixed The Cursed Statues in Dark Tower 3 not facing the correct direction.
  
• Fixed Gib enchants not being procced from companions and indirect damage.
  
• Fixed summoned companion skills, such as Dancing Blades, not properly re-calculating powers and stats based on companion count (and similar effects).
  
• Fixed effects based on companions not re-calculating after companions die.
  
• Fixed (probably?) the big boss not spawning in Dark Tower 3.
  
• Fixed issue where if saving took too long or too many things were in the save queue at once, a load operation could run on a queued file, loading old data which is then re-saved, meaning for example the stash eating what you just put in it.
  
• Fixed issue where players 2-4 couldn't see objectives of quests they were tracking that player 1 had already finished.
  
• Fixed several tile problems with trees and canopies.
  
• Possible fix for map corruption when repeatedly re-entering zones in co-op. (I still cannot reproduce this one, but it may have been similar to the stash saving bug)
  
• Possible fix for the Retaliating Companions rune power not always working. (Unable to reproduce as of fixing the summon/death effect recalculations of companions)
  
• Treant companions now have a smaller collision box so they are less prone to get stuck on corners.
  

Hey everyone!

This update changes how controllers are detected and handled, so you can now freely pick controllers for each player, rather than having to use them in the order they are connected. You can also freely swap between controller and keyboard in the main menu, and your option doesn't get locked in until you enter the game. This also allows the new steam remote play to work as intended, so you can now co-op with friends far away!

The Linux build should also work again! Thanks to everyone for your reports, support, and patience in the matter. And special thanks to liberodark who, once again, solved the problem!

In addition to this I've fixed some of the issues you have reported.

Expect another fix or two before more content updates.

Thanks again for all the reports, comments, and suggestions!


0.95.4
Gamepad and co-op:

• Added new experimental gamepad detection and assigning, which is a bit more fluid:
  
• You should be able to use any controller for any player.
  
• You can now seamlessly swap between controller and keyboard in the main menu, as long as you have not locked in controllers for co-op players.
  
• You now lock controllers to players in co-op in the order they press (A) to join, rather than the order the controllers are indexed.
  
• Player 1 locks their controller simply by using it to enter the co-op menu.
  

• Relic items are no longer filtered due to their rarity.
  

• Fixed "Primatic" typo on Prismatic Transmutation recipes.
  
• Fixed Flutterswarm (Warden Mastery Perk) giving inconsistent amounts of Evasion.
  
• Fixed crash from Wall of Fire (Warlock).
  
• Fixed Slimelings spawning and getting stuck in their spawn animations... again.
  
• Fixed Orcs very rudely covering large sections of the screen with speech bubbles commanding their Hyenas to tear you apart.
  
• Fixed issue where players 2-4 in co-op didn't get a visual confirmation when using radial loot (note: radial auto-loot currently only works for player 1).
  
• Fixed Halloween collect quests only updating for the player that collected the related items.
  
• Fixed damage number setting conflict with indirect/dot numbers and companion hits.
  

Hey everyone!

Thanks for the reports!
This update should take care of all reported crashes. I will be continuing work on fixes for issues you have reported in the next few days, but I figured I should get the critical ones out of the way first.

Here's what this update fixes:

0.95.3
Fixes:

• Fixed a small memory leak.
  
• Fixed some smaller generation issues.
  
• Fixed items with no sell value (unsellable) listing a sell price of 0 crystals.
  
• Fixed a crash related to Chain Lightning effects.
  
• Fixed a crash with Pods and the Everspring set.
  
• Fixed a crash related to the Demon Lord 3) bonus.
  
• Fixed a crash related to Flaming Hells triggers.
  

• Can now start the event from level 1 as long as you have also picked up the initial story quest to activate the waypoint, and entered the dungeon at least once.
  
• Farmer Isaac should now take back his sickle as intended.
  

Hey everyone!

Thanks for the reports.
Today I've uploaded 0.95.2 which fixes the last big issue for this update.
There's a few more issues popping up so expect a fix or two in the coming weeks before the next big update.

Here's the notes of this update and the previous quick fix, earlier in the week.

Thanks!

0.95.2
Fixes:

• Fixed multiple dungeon generation errors which could lead to crashes on loadscreen and incorrectly placed rooms and detail
  

• Fixed multiple issues leading to crashes vs. certain endgame bosses
  
• Fixed player getting stuck when struck by hallucinative shrooms
  
• Fixed some text flickering happening on load screens
  

Hey everyone!

Update 0.95.0 is here to bring you new goodies and another step closer to release!
This update adds a much requested endless mode to the endgame, as well as a bunch of new items and runes! Some item sets have also been buffed, and other have been completely reworked. Of course, with the new anomaly mode comes a fresh new interface that makes it easier to select difficulty and mode, and it also provides some previously hidden information about monster stats. It's pretty neat. All to make the progression into the endless mode all the more enjoyable!

Oh and this update also brings a Halloween Event which starts on the 20th!

Also there are currently some issues with the Ubuntu build that we are trying to solve. Thanks to the Linux community for your efforts in the matter, and for your understanding.

And of course thanks to everyone who has posted bugs, suggestions, and feedback.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this update!


Here's the full notes:

0.95.0
Highlights:

• New endless Anomaly mode.
  
• New Endgame interface complete with monster stats.
  
• New Halloween event.
  
• Updated and improved Anomaly bosses.
  
• New True Legendary and Legendary items.
  
• Set buffs & revamps.
  

• Added a Halloween event complete with decorations, a new area, 5 new quests, new enemies, a season helm, and a rare drop relic from the new area.
  
• The Halloween Event runs from oct 20th to oct 31st.
  

• Adjusted lighting so that lights fade slower, meaning less flickering with rapid cast spells.
  
• Improved monster clearing around Anomaly entrance portals (kinda).
  

• Added Endless Anomalies - these are similar to Dungeon Anomalies, except they start scaling at the max difficulty (Mythic XV), and each set completed allows you to advance to the next "Tier" beyond that. Each Tier is slightly more difficult, and by every 10th Tier monster stats will have increased by about 150% from the previous 10th Tier. There is no hard cap on tiers, and rewards also increment with each tier.
