{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/0c039256e39fc1e35c4bbc311b86ee279b8060ca.png Hello everyone. This is Lee Hyung-Ju, the director of Chrono Ark. Chrono Ark has been updated to version 1.2.

Main Update Features

New Boss 'Inquisitor' {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/0f5bf4b868accbfb7b6f38ca3460e57b96140d9a.png A new boss 'Inquisitor' has been added. The Inquisitor is an exceptionally strong boss that uses the Black Fog. To defeat the Inquisitor, you can use the special boss item 'Torch of the Saint' to turn the tides in your favor! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/00907c2ea7b0b04991679e4c6166cc004a466e61.gif The new boss can be met by interacting with a special event object just like 'Sir Dorchi', and you can meet him at the White Graveyard. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/93077a91922e63033aefd727319203932fb952fc.png A new quest 'Finding Alice' has been added. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/34670b255a85ed0109eb8b9aff3a253a02b8d215.png You can activate the quest by talking to Johan in the Ark. To unlock the Inquisitor boss, you must clear this quest first.

Balance Changes

- Lucy Deep in Thought : Added Swiftness Keyword Snap!+ : If you have 2 -> 4 or less skills in hand excluding this one, draw 2 skills. Showdown+ : Four of a Kind effect 'Draw 3 skills, restore 4 -> 3 mana, and deal 10 damage to a random enemy 4 times.' - Narhan Trauma : Fixed a bug where trauma would decrease critical damage if enemy's CC resist is already negative. - Blood Mist 3 Changed Blood Mist 3's Pain Sharing effect. Changed the effect to Whenever an ally takes damage at Death's Door, they do not faint. Instead, add 15 to that damage and split it across all allies not at Death's Door. Added a new VFX when triggering the Pain Sharing effect. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/0c2332b1ab3b98057f8773c9336f464361d71944.gif

Improvements

When you reach the Black Fog turn limit, the turn indicator shows the Black Fog damage instead. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/42757212da82c0c309b8d6e67856c4bdedac2172.png Optimizations to improve performance on low-end PCs.

As she learned the ways of combat, she was able to copy their techniques almost identically, even mimicking their equipment with her magic. Surprisingly, the scientists who studied Turquoise's equipment discovered that they were able to use some abilities of the copied Investigator. Turquoise then decided to settle aboard the Ark and join the Investigation Team. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3060591218 Made by 蒼の狩人电脑 Phirina A sincere thanks to all the creators who made mods for Chrono Ark!

Chrono Ark Official Release + Release Trailer

Hyung_12steam_community_announcements

821d ago

Hello everyone. This is the director of Chrono Ark, Hyung-Ju Lee. After four years of Early Access, the official release is finally here! It's all thanks to the Tumblbug crowdfunding, the YouTuber '타코리뷰' (now '지식한입'), Steam's Early Access feature, Bilibili's '怕上火暴王老菊', '独立游戏蜥蜴君', and '少年Pi', and all of you players. Without any one of these, this project would have been impossible. Thank you! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/177f7d4fac8bd4253d286830292f978fd8f5c35c.png

Official Release Trailer

Additional DLC 'Summer Twilight' Now On Sale

The Summer Twilight DLC has been released and is now playable! Summer Twilight Store Page {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/63038b2b00bbe9feb2cdeeb59b3e0851cfa21f02.png And... It's time to introduce our next project after Chrono Ark.

Deception Engine

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/d738c3560c2656248906cfd10daa327c0523b035.png Deck Building Heist RPG

Story

11 cities and engines, the end of the world, betrayal, infiltration, and... a heist. The criminal organization 'Engine Raiders' that aims to steal the 'engines', the heart of each city, to revive the 'City of Domination'. And the city 'Utopia' that faces against them. And the 'protagonist', a spy of 'Utopia', disgused as a chief member of the 'Engine Raiders'. Their story now begins.

System

'Deception Engine' will feature a combat system similar to 'Chrono Ark', but more refined. There will be combat visuals and dungeon progression. (A heist!) There will also be a base management system reminiscent of 'Darkest Dungeon, XCOM', and a suspenseful noir-esque story. Stay tuned for more information!

Thoughts on Chrono Ark Development

This is only my personal story as the 'Developer Hyung-Ju Lee', and it's not related to the game, so there's no need for you to read it. Hello everyone. I am Hyung-Ju Lee, a developer of Chrono Ark and alfine. It's been a long journey. After 3 years of development and 4 years of Early Access, Chrono Ark is finally complete. Actually, Chrono Ark is my 2nd project. What was the first project? Well... it was a failed project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDAvURHrU0A This first project, which I programmed in my third year of high school, failed. I was devastated and spent 1 year of doing nothing, but then I finally decided to give game development one last try, which led to 'Chrono Ark'. When I first started developing Chrono Ark, I was working part-time at a convenience store. I worked on the game in an unheated alcove, with a laptop on the floor and a blanket over my head, with nothing but a dream to make a fun game once more. After a long development period, there were only two team members remaining when we launched the game in Early Access, including myself. We launched the game in Early Access as a 2-member team, and then used the profits to recruit more team members and develop the game further... In the midst of it all, I became ambitious and wanted to include a lot of things, so I tried this and that. This process delayed the game by a lot. And finally! Chrono Ark is now officially released. I feel a little older now. I recognize that there was both good and bad updates during the development of Chrono Ark. I learned what people like, what people don't like, why the development period was so delayed, and what I can do well. Based on my experience in developing Chrono Ark, I want to make an even better next game! Thank you.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/7a573321af3b148dbe462cc18c6c3175d19bcb93.png Hello everyone. In accordance with Steam’s policy, we unfortunately had to reschedule the game’s release to offer a discount at the same time as the Official Release. We’ve originally announced Chrono Ark’s release date to be April 26th, 2024, but as mentioned, we've decided to push back the release date by one week to accommodate the release discount, which means the game will be set to launch on May 3rd, 2024. We apologize for going back on our previously announced schedule. However, this delay is only for the official release, and the 1.0 update excluding the DLC will still be available on April 26th, 2024. On May 3rd, Chrono Ark will officially release along with the new DLC ‘Summer Twilight’! The 1.0 update on April 26th will add the following content.

New Boss ‘Shiranui’

This boss has a special mechanic where the boss-only party member ‘Stake of Protection’ temporarily participates in the battle! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/28474932c5dd6ba07afcfb2a05d7bb5b584baeba.png The stake that temporarily participates as a party member There is also a new relic that you are guaranteed to obtain upon defeating this boss. This boss has two illustration versions. As for the background of her development, Chrono Ark had went through a crowdfunding phase before its release, and one of the backer rewards was designing a boss according to how the backer wanted. If you turn on the ‘Backer Content’ gameplay option, the boss’s appearance will be changed to the backer’s preferred design! The Backer Content option can be turned on by anyone. (The ‘Backer’ design version is a little suggestive, so we’ll post it as a link.) https://x.com/ChronoArk_game/status/1777232966554624261 Additionally, if you purchase the ‘Summer Twilight’ content that will be released on May 3rd, you can view a short story where Lucy and her party enter the 'Twilight Beach' created by Shiranui. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/1a7d78434659136268feeefc226201d00eddac34.png (Sketches of the Story CG Illustrations)
