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)
