Game Updates

Hey guys!This patch is a massive balancing update.Trying to bring more fluidity to early content while making traditional Tank groups more viable in the late game.Damage from both sides of the battles were getting out of hand and needed to be refined.Patch notes below!New:Advanced Stat - Enhancement: This now shows your current Enhancement modifier from things like Engineer. More ways to modify this is coming in the future!Enhancement - Enlight: Increases Leech by 10%. While this is active, Leech instead heals all allies, except this character, for 15% of the Leech amount.Enhancement - Enprime: Has a 25% chance to deal additional damage equal to a Status Burst if an applicable Status exists and increases Speciality by 10%. This effect does not consume the Status Effect.Enhancement - Dark Armor: When hit, Leech 5% Max HP from all allies. The healing is increased by Leech.Utility Skills:Light's Call: Contains Enlight EnhancementPrimal Power: Contains Enprime EnhancementDark Ascendance: Contains Dark Armor EnhancementSpark Blade: Contains Enthunder EnhancementFrost Blade: Contains Enice EnhancementChanges:Advanced Stat - Armor & Resistance: Significantly improved Armor and Resistance.Advanced Stat - Crit Multiplier: There is now a Hard Cap to Crit Multiplier from Focus. This was the cause of MANY one-shots from Monsters. This also caps the players Crit Mult. So it is a slight damage nerf to the player as well.Passive - Commander: Reduced Buffs it can provide to 5 different ones. They can be found in the Glossary.Passive - Crusade: Reduced Buffs it can provide to 5 different ones. They can be found in the Glossary.Passive - Ranger: This ability is now additive rather than multiplicative.Shipment: Has a much better chance of dropping resources. Also shipment can contain unique items now!Base Stat - Vitality: now gives 5 HP per stat.Monster Stats: The Boss modifiers for Green and above were all reduced. However, the base strength of monsters were increased. This is in an ...

Patch Update: City UI, Heat, and Demo ChangesA new patch is currently in development, but it is taking a little longer than expected.The main reason is that this update has grown into a larger overhaul of how cities, missions, and earnings are presented and managed. I’ve been reworking the city UI to make income, upgrades, and daily earnings much clearer, so players can better understand what each city is producing and what each upgrade actually improves.I’m also replacing the current mission recovery system with a new Heat system. Instead of missions going into recovery after completion, each completed operation will now generate Heat in that city. Heat will decay over time, but if you push a city too hard, it may trigger a lockdown. The goal is to make missions feel more active and strategic, while keeping the pace smoother.Because of this change, several upgrades and Director dialogs also need to be rewritten or added, so the system feels properly integrated rather than simply bolted on.One other change coming with this patch is that Decryption will be removed from the demo. While the mechanic had some good ideas behind it, feedback on it has been mostly negative, and it often interrupted the main flow of the game. For the demo, I’d rather focus on mechanics that better support the core experience and fit the physical board-room style of The Syndicate.I’m also working toward Steam Next Fest, so a lot of the current focus is on making the demo as clear, polished, and engaging as possible for new players discovering the game for the first time.Thanks for your patience. The next patch should make the demo smoother, easier to understand, and much closer to the direction I want the full game to take.- Ignace

Hello, Chroma Engineers!The stabilization effort continues.Just a small balance and bugfix patch!Patch Notes - Version 1.9.1GLOBALChanged: Removed the remaining hard FPS caps from the main game loop and Creator Override interface. The game no longer forces 30 FPS in Extreme Low mode or 45 FPS in the override tree.Fixed Bug: Changelog entries and Codex lore text now wrap correctly inside their panels, preventing text from being cut off.Enhanced: Improved Changelog scrolling.Enhanced: Scrollbars can now be dragged with the mouse, allowing players without a scroll wheel to scroll through all panels.NULL / VOID HUNTFixed Bug: Starting a new Void Hunt run after a previous run could carry over that run's uplink upgrades into the level requirement calculation, giving the wrong base requirement for the first level.Balance: Reduced Void Hunt Null Essence rewards significantly.Fixed Bug: The Void Hunt pause menu now wraps its instructions correctly on smaller screens, preventing the Resume / Collect instructions from being cut off.Fixed Bug: Scrolling in the Void Hunt Upgrades modal no longer zooms the Production view in the background.Fixed Bug: Void Hunt rewards now respect the expanded Null Essence cap from Stage 9 NE Storage instead of being effectively limited to the base shop storage cap.Changed: Void Hunt spawning is now time-based, so FPS no longer changes dot spawns or rewards.Changed: Golden dots now spawn less often, despawn off-screen, and have much tighter reward scaling.Changed: Chaos exposure now ramps with run level and stacked chaos contact, while recovery is much slower.Changed: Field Radius now also lowers chaos exposure gain, giving larger traps a defensive tradeoff.AUTOMATIONFixed Bug: Auto-Converge no longer fires when the manual Converge button is disabled.PERFORMANCEOptimized: Major Fractured Void performance pass. Reduced per-frame work in the Void interface and hexgrid by caching expensive summaries, culling off-screen overlays, simplifying Extreme L...

# 🌿 Devlog #1 — Awakening Trees**11 days until launch · May 19**Hello, this is the developer.If you played the demo, you know the loop — you pick Awakenings mid-run, and they reshape how your blade fights.The full release leans into that hard.━━━━━━━━━━🌳 **Awakening Trees**Each tree has its own flavor. Some chain between enemies. Some explode, then explode again. Some freeze, some bleed, some just hit really, really hard.Pick a path. Or don't. Mix two trees and watch what happens.━━━━━━━━━━Honestly, the best way to explain it is to just show it.━━━━━━━━━━And there's one more layer on top of all this — but that's for next time.━━━━━━━━━━📅 **What's Next on the Community Page**- **May 11 — Devlog #2: Hidden Awakenings** 🌌- May 13 — Devlog #3: Weapon Armory- May 15 — Devlog #4: Boss & Raid- May 16–18 — Daily countdown- May 19 — 🎉 LaunchWishlist Re:Blade to follow along.— STAGE Games

Thank you!I hope you’re having a wonderful start to your May! We recently hit 200,000 players… a number that I truly can’t even imagine. This game has changed my life and will allow me to keep making games and following my passions. A black hole sized thank you to everyone who has played our game, left a review, and shared it with a friend or two. If you haven't already please leave us a Steam review, it really helps us a lot!Roguelike Mode:This patch has been a long time coming and we’re excited to announce that Roguelike Mode is now live! Thank you to everyone who helped us test the various prototypes, shared feedback, and reported bugs. This is by far the most unique game mode we’ve released today and required a lot of changes under the hood as well as net new development for the user interface. This mode takes about 20 min to win, but we think it will take you a few tries so hopefully this at least another hour or 2 of fun for you (if not more). Please let us know if you have any more ideas.You beat this mode by simply growing the Black Hole 20 times. Each time you grow the black hole you'll be taken to an upgrade screen where you get to pick 1 of 3 randomly generated upgrades. Each time you grow the Black Hole you'll need to feed it more! And yes.. there’s endless mode once you beat the mode.Let us know what you think of this mode, we had a few constraints based on the core of how this game works and we're pretty proud of what we cooked up.New Custom Music:I've always dreamed of having a composer create custom music for my games, but as a self funded indie game dev I never had the budget. Until now! With the success of this game I've been able to commission a new soundtrack for Black Hole. We tried our best to keep the vibes of the previous music while also leaning into the style of our composer. I'm incredibly happy with the results and I'd highly encourage any game dev's to reach out to Dexter to commission some music. Our Composer: Hey! I’m Dexter, I am an A...

Patch Notes #6Hey everyone!This patch is the final step in our complete progression revamp for Heritage. We’re really happy with how these changes turned out, and even happier with all the feedback and support you’ve given us throughout the Demo. This update completely revamps the Ancestor’s Hall, the transitions surrounding progression, and the overall flow between battles, victories, defeats, and meta progression. Our goal was to make every run feel smoother, clearer, and more rewarding from beginning to end. We also want to share that we’re planning one more update focused mainly on visuals and consistency improvements. This will most likely be the final major Demo patch before launch.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29347222/88dacac52cd98cfea0be849a7f31fb5318eb814f.png Born into the royal family of Celene, he assumed the simple name of Melf eschewing a life of comfort as a noble to study the arcane arts and train as a swordsman. He delved in the dungeons of Castle Greyhawk, the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth and many other harrowing places honing his skills, knowledge and amassing powerful magical items. Melf sees himself as a weapon of weal hurtling toward the heart of the darkest evils in the realm. He is opinionated and has a touch of conceit that he is blissfully ignorant of possessing.. Melf is receiving a major update arriving at the start of the second week of the Great Modron March. Lets take a look at the new-and-improved Melf!

Demo-Locked Garden PlotsI added a limit on which plots are purchasable in the demo. The most expensive plot in the demo now is $19,494. This will not affect old saves, only new saves moving forward. The locked plots are automatically unlocked in the full game version.This will prevent players from grinding excessively past completing the demo collection, to maintain the spirit of the game.Inventory Action ButtonsI also made the "harvest seeds" and "sell" buttons in the Inventory scene more apparent by filling in the background color when a flower is picked up, not just when the button is hovered.The purpose of this is to make it more obvious that harvesting seeds is an option in the Inventory, since it has been missed by quite a few players.
