I like your old stuff..
August 22, 2012..better than your new stuff. Chronicles post-mortem.
November 15, 2012A new update to Chronicles has now gone live on Kongregate. It should appear on Armor Games within the next few days.
Changes:
- This version (finally) introduces art support for female characters. I hope people are happy with the non-pandering approach I’ve taken.
- There’s also a new feature: you can now export your current progress to a convenient save file, and then import it later. This is somewhat against the spirit of the game, but the number of people reporting save problems was large enough that I had to try to find some solution. At least now it is possible to maintain a backup in case your data is lost. This will not appear in Armor Save-enabled versions of the game, as the Armor Save is supposed to serve the same purpose (and the two systems could interact badly).
So, what about the Chronicles 2.0 I mentioned in the Roadmap post?
I’m putting it on the back-burner for now. Since the female art was now finished, I decided to just push it out rather than wait. I may come back to it, but for now I’m refocusing on the next game which will help pay my bills.
The original plan for 2.0 was that I would introduce some additional premium content to justify my time spent adding the new free content. I have cooled on that idea a bit.. it’s hard to think of anything else I could charge for now that wouldn’t feel abusive or disrespectful to those who’d already purchased the original Premium Content.
