Hello everyone!

It's been a while. And we've been busy.

Today marks the release anniversary of Chronicon 1.0. I can't believe it's been 4 years already!
And to celebrate, we're releasing a small game. Right now!

As we were making good progress on our next game, we moved out of prototyping and onto creating all the art. And since I (Squarebit) can't draw at all... I found myself with a lot of free time as our team of artists got to work. So I started a little pet project and it turned into...

Chronicon: Survivors!

To absolutely no one's surprise, I imagine. ːsteammockingː

It's my personal take on the recent horde survivors trend, with a faster pace as Chronicon players will be accustomed to, and many familiar characters, enemies, and locations. It also gave me a unique opportunity to add things that were scrapped from Chronicon (due to being a bad fit for that game in particular) such as weapon/item/skill ideas, some unused assets, etc. Of course, there is also a bunch of new things, enemies, etc introduced! I partnered up with Mike again and he produced a heavy 13 part soundtrack for the game.

So if any of that sounds interesting, you can check it out here:

We've also made a Chronicon Universe Bundle, which is basically everything Chronicon, that lets you grab anything you don't own already with a slight (permanent) discount. We'll be adding any and all future games/dlc/soundtracks we make in the Chronicon universe to this bundle, always giving fans of the game(s) an extra discount.

But what of the next game?

I'm not going to spoil too much just yet, But I can tell you it's indeed part of the Chronicon universe, and more of a roguelike format. It's also a pretty big undertaking - despite being a smaller, shorter project - and our team has grown significantly! (We do have a spot open, if you're interested in joining us, read more here.)

I have some cool concept art to share with you, courtesy of our environment & prop artist, gab_paints.





As you can see we're working hard on trying to produce better visuals than previous game(s)!

With that in mind, the next game will take a while, and we'll do our best to keep you updated every once in a while. We'll slip in an update for you guys in our yearly end of year post, I think!

Until then, be well, be safe, and have fun!

Squarebit & Marruu
