11/27/24 - Chaos Chain Patch 1.61.2
Chaos Chain
Attention, freelancers!
Here's just another quick patch! I hope everyone (who celebrates it) has a Happy Thanksgiving!
BETA Update 1.61.2 Changelog:
Bug Fixes:
FIXED a bug where the quest giver for "Shady Shipment" returns to his default state after the quest is completed so you could do it again indefinitely
Changes & Additions:
Thugs and Red Saints no longer throw Pipe Bombs (It was a little odd in my opinion for random thugs to have stuff like that - they still do have access to molotovs)
A few other super quick tweaks and adjustments
Please let me know of any bugs or issues you may encounter so I can fix them. This update will be available for download shortly.
Stay Alert. Stay Armed. Stay Alive. Don't lose your humanity.
That's all for now, enjoy!

11/25/24 - Chaos Chain MAJOR Update 1.61.0 (Contract System & Lore Update)
Chaos Chain
Attention, freelancers!
So, this update took a little bit longer than I had hoped but it was because I had some issues that I needed to iron out related to the new and long awaited contracts system and also I wanted to expand some of the game world lore a little bit better and add more details to certain aspects that were already in place.
Prophet, your contract broker
For the contracts system, I only have two contracts available in the game right now, one being fairly large and one being fairly small, but it was just to get everything going and now I can easily add new ones in as I get ideas. As a matter of fact, I already have ideas for at least two more but I just ran out of time and wanted to get this update out so people could enjoy it over the long weekend ahead.
Overall, this update should feel pretty significant and fresh and I have tested everything quite a bit so I think it should be all good to go, but if you have any issues, just let me know and I will fix them up ASAP. I can only fix problems that I know about, so please tell me if you run into any.
*Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.*

Bug Fixes:
FIXED one instance where while doing the Helping Hands side quest, it still says you need 1000 points worth of medical supplies donated instead of the updated 850 points

11/2/24 - Chaos Chain Update 1.60.0
Chaos Chain
Attention, freelancers!
Here is the next update for the game. Check out the full change log below!
*Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.*
BETA Update 1.60.0 Changelog:
Bug Fixes:
Removed loops from vending machine choice dialogues as they were causing numerous issues with the conditional choice system
Changes & Additions:
Added "Gutterpunk" standard title available to everyone
Added prices in the menu description for each item available at the two types of vending machines (Food and drink)
Disabled choices in dialogues are now colored red and unavailable to select but are still visible (Like in the early days of early access --- this change is not necessarily what I originally envisioned in the game, but it will be a bit more straight forward, solve a lot of issues I'm having with the choices being hidden and logic behind it, and it'll be a bit more obvious in terms of just how many options are truly present in different scenarios)
Some balancing on some cyberware components (Some were very OP for their price and others were fairly weak)
Please let me know of any bugs or issues you may encounter so I can fix them. This update will be available for download shortly.

Chaos Chain
Attention, freelancers!
Here is the next update for the game. Check out the full change log below!
*Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.*
BETA Update 1.58.1 Changelog:
Bug Fixes:
FIXED certain branch cancel elements from not working in choice option menus (Please let me know if you encounter any issues with this - this has been a problem in the past and I keep improving upon this system, but it seems like it may still has rare cases of weirdness happening even after all these changes and fixes so keep me posted please and thank you!)
Changes & Additions:
Updated some dialogues
Base feature points in character creation are now set to 5 instead of 3 but you only get 10 points to spend instead of 18 (Min/Maxing is still possible but it should be a little more balanced now and the idea is to have characters be a little more "rounded")
Added some new randomized ambient sound effects
Added some new flavor items and text
Added some new icon art images
Sped up text line display time by ommitting more special characters from the delay logic
Added some new randomized dialogues for various generic NPC types
Various minor tweaks and adjustments
