Chronicle: Unit Eight Depot - Linux [366.21 M]

0.2.0 - The Voice Over Update!

Hey party people! Hope you've been enjoying this week more than we have (and we've been having some super fun working from home - no sarcasm, it's really actually been fun)! Here are the weekly patch notes!

ADDITIONS

Voice Overs!

Logan, Fionne, and Bob now have voice overs and their first pass of lip syncing.
A fancy new cutscene system is added when a boss shows up!
The Early Access warning screen now has an animated background and feels less....boring?

CLARITY

- Clarity is added to make the game more clear in it's intentions.

There is now a dialog popup when you choose New Game but already have a saved file.
There is now a prompt to advance dialog with button press.
There is now a prompt to open The Grid's menu with button press.

ADJUSTMENTS

Your total scraps in The Grid now turns red on a lock gate if you are not the right ship level.

BUG FIXES

Fixed a persistent bug where the lock gates were still purchasable without being a high enough ship level.
Fixed an issue where the background would sometimes have trouble wrapping edges in the main menu and loading screen.
Possibly fixed an issue where Linux users would have a black screen after loading the game for the second and subsequent times.
Fixed a bug where the missiles powerup would have an ammo pack containing 0 missiles when picked up, never allowing you to select it in weapon swap.
Fixed a bug that allowed players to use their story mode stats in arcade mode to get an advantage.
Fixed a bug that stopped all audio settings from saving between scenes (or at all).
Fixed a bug in The Grid that caused pre-purchased perks to seem as if they were not purchased and grayed out.
Fixed a graphical bug that showed perks slightly grayer than they were intended to be.

If you are loving Chronicle, don't hesitate to write a quick review! (You can find the review system on the library page for the game) Love you all and see you on Friday with another update! Josh Static City Games!

Chronicle: Unit Eight is an arcade bullethell roguelike with a sliver of RPG thrown into the mix. Mixing the combat and game feel of vertical shooter games like "Raiden" and "Ikaruga" with the roguelite progression style of "Rogue Legacy". Chronicle gives that old school space shooting genre a new flavor of life. Dodge, fire bullets, and increase in strength by finding powerups or modifications on each fun. Collect Scraps that fall off of enemy ships to use to upgrade your ship for future runs. Discover many secrets and defeat the space pirate boss that you were originally hired to destroy.

Chronicle is a mercenary-for-hire organization. They have dispatched one mercenary, (codenamed Atlas,) and her ship, Unit Eight to sabotage and destroy a secret weapon that a space pirate group has created to destroy planets.

Discover new weapon combos, defensive maneuvers, abilities, bombs, and unlocks to help manifest the perfect run.

After every run, explore the vast perk tree and upgrade your ship through modifications, weapons, weapon unlocks, defensive maneuvers and more!

Can you defeat the space pirate organization and destroy the secret weapon before all the planets that we know are eliminated for good?
