Hey everyone!
I've been meaning to expand the way that you all can reach me and be part of a larger community with me if you wish, and today I finally set up a Discord channel for it.
I wanted to do a free improvement update with some upgrades to some existing systems to make the game better for my players and supporters on Steam. So, here is that update!
Check out the change log below!
Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.
Update 1.6.1 Change Log:
Changes & Additions:
Updated mouse accuracy detection (To make the mouse graphic line up better on screen with the real position of the cursor)
Updated mouse detection handler so that it always updates when on the game map screen (While playing) so you no longer need to move it before it updates in dialogue boxes and so on
Cleaned up some old leftover code (Old stuff that was no longer needed and not even used)
A few other minor tweaks here and there to make things run a bit smoother in areas with a lot going on (Mainly settlements)
NOTE:You DON'T need to start a new game.
Please let me know of any bugs or issues you may encounter. The update will be available shortly.
Also, in case you're interested, my newest project, Chaos Chain, is on Steam now in Early Access and has already come a long way! For more info on the game, visit the store page below! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1536730/Chaos_Chain/
That's all for now, enjoy!

5/13/22 Major Chaos Chain Update 1.2.5
Chaos Chain
Salutations, dwellers...
Hey everyone! Here is a the next BIG new update for the game. I didn't get every single thing that I wanted to get into this update, but I did include a lot of other new stuff to make up for it. Loot containers now respawn periodically and reposition themselves as well so it is fully randomized, the interface got a nice circuit background overlay, saves from here on out should *mostly* be safe from having to restart due to some extensive reworking of the existing system, item popup messages whenever you gain equipment, and much more! The only thing to be aware of is one of the new quests "Relief Recovery" is not completed yet. Check out the change log below!
Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.
Update 1.2.5 Change Log:
Bug Fixes:
Fixed a typo in the intro
Fixed a bug where you'd have to press back button twice when exiting world map
Fixed some tileset pathing bugs
Fixed a rare bug where loot containers could spawn on top of each other
Fixed an unreachable container spawn location
Changes & Additions:
A HUGE thank you to "heynonnynonny" for his help on this one - You should NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CORRUPTED SAVES AS NEW QUESTS ARE ADDED - MOST SAVES WILL BE ABLE TO BE USED GOING FORWARD (You can thank heynonnynonny yourself if you purchase some of his pixel artwork for sale here: https://www.gamedevmarket.net/member/heynonnynonny/)

Added Condemned Apartments: F1 area (Smugglers' Bend)

Added "Relief Recovery" side quest (Not currently finished)

"Helping Hands" quest item value has been greatly increased so it should be completed roughly twice as fast
"Helping Hands" quest goal reduced from 1500 to 1200
Dr Cranlin's shop now has much more effective healing items once you complete "Helping Hands"
"Closed Circuit" quest related dropoff dialogues are now instantly displayed so you don't have to wait for each message to appear
Sidewalks and asphalt are now a bit smoother because the graphics looked a little too rigid
Added some extra dialogue options to a few conversations

Added subtle chime sound effect to play when transferring between maps
Added a circuit board backdrop to the menu skin
Added a slight shading effect around the outside of the interface

Mouse improvements on the map screen so that you no longer have to move the mouse in on map screen menus and the cursor will retain it's location in the list if you don't move the mouse from it
Reduced noise graphical overlay on several graphics to make them look more pure
Added a lot more lootable containers to multiple areas
Added fully randomized, fully respawning, fully repositioning loot containers (Respawn to a new location with new contents every 3 game days from the last time you interacted with it or from when they try to generate - 3 hours real time - be careful, you can lose stored items this way unless they're in your stash - this IS intended - your stuff can get stolen)
Reintroduced a very small amount of green back into the game's time-based tinting
Floating labels above events now have slightly increased opacity to be easier to see and read
Added a sound effect to play when you open a container
Added a sound effect to play when you close a container
Added specific tutorial hint about the stash (Player safe item storage) and lootable containers (Which respawn over time and reset)
Added a new lore (Data) item description with a hint about loot containers
Baseball bat initiative bonus is now +4 instead of +3
Rebalanced pool cue weapon because it was way too OP

Added special rules regarding loot drops with improvised weapons and basic armor/equipments
Updated The Eclipse: Basement area
Slightly updated Neko's dialogues
Neko's shop lists no longer look like a hardware store (He now only sells weapons that are either legitimately weapons or things that are made to be used as weapons - He's a weapon smuggler, not Home Depot)
Added 5 construction worker sprites
Added 10 randomized phrases for construction workers
Added some construction workers to Smuggler's Bend
Increased saturation of all text colors in game by 5%
Nikova weapons have been renamed to Novikov
NOTE:You SHOULD NOT need to start a new game. If you encounter issues however, it is probably for the best.
Please let me know of any bugs or issues you may encounter. The update will be available shortly.
Here is another new update for the game. This will be the last rapid patch for some time as I begin working towards the first major content addition coming later this February. Critical bug fixes will still go on as normal, but as I have already released several patches in the past few days fixing everything that I have found or been reported, I don't think any further critical fixes will be necessary at this time.
This update is mainly for some quality of life improvements and to make the game more user friendly and intuitive. These changes listed below were originally going to just be part of the major content update mentioned above, but I decided to release them early to get the game into a better, more polished state for the time being.
Check out the change log below!
Update 1.0.7 Change Log:
Bug Fixes:
Fixed a few tileset pathing issues
Fixed a typo in a weapon description
Fixed a sound volume inconsistency when equipping gear
Changes & Additions:
Increased color saturation of many interface elements
Color coded ammo requirements in weapon descriptions gold colored
Color coded ammo requirements in skill descriptions gold colored
Recolored ammo names to gold instead of the default pink/red for weapons
Ammo slot is now optimizable so it will automatically equip ammo if available for a weapon that requires it if you click optimize (this may not always pick the best ammo for a given situation, it chooses based on its own statistical analysis - for example: you might want high bleed chance with hollow points (+50% bleed chance) against a heavily armored enemy, but it may select armor piercing (+1 damage for penetration) instead to get the extra damage to punch through the armor itself)
Renamed "Remove Equip" to "Remove" when setting an equipment slot to nothing (empty)
Reduced blue glow around text to make it look sharper and less blurry
Renamed "System" command in the in game menu to "Exit / System" to be a little more obvious
Renamed "Title Screen" to "Exit - Main Menu"
Added "Exit - Desktop" to the in game Exit / System menu to allow exiting the game without having to go to the main menu first
Added a subtle beep sound effect to play whenever the choice window opens (when waiting for player input in a conversation)
Added a green interaction diamond over the stash in the player's apartment

Hey everyone, Corrosion here!
I wanted to stop by and just leave you with a development status update for today to let you all know what my next plans are for the game, moving forward with work on the game.
Starting tomorrow - February 1st, I'll begin work on the first major content update. My plan is to release it mid-late February, but it will probably be late February as I have quite a bit on my list for immediate things to add such as:
The first implementation of the cyberware upgrade system
Continuation of the main storyline and completion of the first story segment
The first companion (and the companion system in general)
New interior areas in the current districts to explore
New characters to interact with
More items/gear
The Warrens - new district
New side quests
New abilities (activated)
... and other general improvements wherever necessary

Chaos Chain - Now Available in Early Access
Woohoo!!!
Hey guys, it's been a heck of a past few months trying to get this ready for the first public alpha, but holy cow we're here!
The game store page can be found below! Please keep in mind that this is the first public release and it's still a work in progress, so there will be missing or incomplete content and features, but if you're interested, check it out!
In addition to the base game, if you'd like to help me out by contributing more to the game's development, I've set up two DLC support packs that will help me keep the bills paid, feed my dog, and allow me to focus more on worrying about making the game itself better than marketing. As a thank you for the extra help, you'll get some extra in game content to mess around with! Check those out below if you're willing help even more!
