Project Chromata

Hello, Chroma Engineers!A surprise midweek patch! Who would have seen that coming? Just some patches, improvements for the games.Patch Notes - Version 2.2.1GLOBALFixed Bug: The game window no longer turns white after being left in the background for a while. You no longer need to resize the window to get the game back.STAGE 9Added: Fold Delay. Between waves you can spend Null Essence to push the next assault back, up to three times per cooldown.Changed: A cascade failure no longer destroys finished Null-Origin Fields, and now tells you the wave counter has reset.Fixed Bug: Turning off Time Warp no longer moves the speed slider to where you clicked.Fixed Bug: Perimeter notifications no longer stay on screen forever after the story ends.CONTINUUMFixed Bug: Loading into the Continuum no longer gets stuck on the CHROMA ENGINE screen, and the skip key now always works there.Fixed Bug: If a Continuum save cannot be read, the game now says so and stops saving, instead of quietly starting an empty pocket over the top of it.Added: Two new Continuum daemons. Auto-Probe charts realms on its own, and Hangar keeps the survey drone repaired and replaced.VOIDCRASHChanged: You can now jump until the capacitor is completely empty, instead of losing the jump at 10% charge.Added: A warning when charge drops below 10%, while you still have the power to do something about it.Added: Scuttle Drone in the inventory. Ends the drone deliberately if you are stuck, after two confirmations, and leaves your cargo at the wreck to walk back for.Added: A wreck is now left where a drone dies, so the site can be found again.Added: Items can now be thrown out from the inventory. Press Q over any slot, or click a held stack out onto the empty space around the panel.Added: Hold Ctrl with the drop key to throw the whole stack instead of one item.Fixed Bug: The first block you mine each session no longer flashes huge across the screen for a moment.Fixed Bug: Mined blocks lying on the ground are now lit by...

Hello, Chroma Engineers!Two new games have arrived, and they are not on the store page. They are inside Project Chromata, launched from the main menu.VoidCrash is voxel automation in the void. Your drone ship is wrecked, the charts are incomplete, and no answer comes from the Engine. Mine, build machines that build machines, and learn to survive beyond where the charts end. It is an alpha playtest, so it has rough edges. I would rather you saw it early than polished and late.The Pixel is smaller and stranger. You are a living pixel down in the Engine's broken circuits, salvaging what the ones who came before left behind and raising cores of your own. It is not listed in the menu at first. You have to find it. The pixel represent the original idea for Stage 6.Both come free with Project Chromata, both keep their worlds in Steam Cloud, and both have a report button on F8 for new report gathering using Github issues. Press it. I read everything that comes through.There is also a home for all of it now at chromatacodex.comWhere the games, the novel, and a few physical things sit in one place. I am just casually drinking from my all times favorite mug!Thank you, as always, for being part of this.Nevertheless, the chromatic effort to make Project Chromata even better continues!Patch Notes - Version 2.2.0GLOBALAdded: Two more games now live inside Project Chromata on Steam, launched from the main menu. See their own sections below.Changed: Reporting a bug or an idea no longer needs a GitHub account. The report form asks for a title and a description, and nothing else is sent unless you tick the box to include diagnostics.Added: Steam now shows which of the three games you are playing instead of only Project Chromata.Added: Steam Cloud now carries your The Pixel and VoidCrash saves as well as your Chromata save, so they survive a reinstall or a new machine.Added: A link to ChromataCodex.com in the main menu footer.Improved: Localisation work continues, with much more of the...
