It's been a while... Sorry about that. To (hopefully) make up for it, I have exciting news:
1 - Free Game!
I'm happy to let everyone know that Anachronism is becoming free software as of the 1st of August, in just a few weeks.
I understand this pricing change may sting to those who recently purchased Anachronism, and that has not gone unnoticed. To those who reach out to me, I have set aside some keys for my next project, which I will discuss shortly.
2 - 1,000 Player Milestone!
Yup, that's right. I never, *ever* thought my game would surpass the 1,000 download count. To all 1,140 of you (as of right now!) who have purchased the game and played a part in my story as a developer, I thank you with all my heart. Please know I read every review, and watch every video people make about this game.
Seeing people making videos about Anachronism was a surreal experience at first, and those feelings drive me to improve, always.
3 - New Project!
I know I have been distant, but after 5 long years, my studies at university are coming to a close in September, meaning I can reveal the announcement of my next game, titled "Sunbeam"! More details will be released shortly, as the store presence is finalised.
(And no, this doesn't mean the end for Anachronism\>. I do have a future release planned which will solve some of the gripes people have had with their gameplay!)
Until then, hang tight & thank you all so much once again! -Elo
Story Patches - V1.2
Hi all!
I've been working on several things behind the scenes for the game, but most of the changes ready for this round of patches are all script related.
Adjusted chapters
- Chapter 3
- Chapter 5d
- Chapter 7
- Chapter 8b
- Chapter 8d
The fixes should fix problems of people beign redirected to the wrong parts of the story. As far as I am aware, it wasn't affecting a huge amount of players, but it needed sorting nonetheless. I apologise to any who had their experience tarnished somewhat by the bugs.
This has been the biggest and hardest round of script corrections yet, but as per normal, if you find any more, do let me know on the Community Page for the game!
There are some stuck/freeze/crash bugs still being thwarted, so until they are done, sit tight!
Thank you so much for all the support and feedback - all of it is welcome.
day8d Hang Fix
Hi all!
This patch should fix any issues you may have had with chapter 8d freezing up on you.
Thanks for your continued help!
Anachronism V1.1 Now Available!
Anachronism V1.1
Hello everyone!
The new update includes some player-requested features, like the new auto typer! You can now hold down keys to automatically type out the messages.
Holding more keys down speeds up the autotyper! As far as I can test, the maximum speed is 6x, but this is determined by your keyboard! Some might go higher, some will have a lower cap. (Some even scale infinitely!)
In addition, I’ve worked on several major bug fixes, including the one where the game struggles progressing past the intentional crash on day 4. I have tested this fix on several different machines which were affected by this bug, and all seem to be working as intended now. However, I am still not 100% sure about the success rate of this fix, so do let me know if you are still affected by these bugs!
I hope you enjoy the update! It’s still amazing to see people playing my game <3
Summary
- New Auto Typer
- Day 4x major bug fix
- Several minor corrections to days 7 and 9
- Minor misc. UI improvements (colour changes, etc.)
