Thank you for waiting, Fuchian Chronicles is now out of Early Access! Here’s a list of changes from the old public version and the new one (many of these changes were already available in the playtest beta):

- Menu, battle, and dialogue UI has been overhauled
- Databank is now complete and expanded with new entries
- New character portraits for Fitz, Arlette, and Ferdi
- New weapon: Heavy Incinerator
- New equipment mods, including mods to make mid-game heavy weapons more effective in the endgame
- Trophies now have pictures
- Heavy weapons re-balanced a little

As mentioned in the beta release announcement, this new update requires a new save due to some additional functionality. Saves made in the beta playtest build will still work, but some equipment (specifically helmets, trauma kits, and heavy weapons) might lack the proper mod slots, but you can buy new equipment at the supply vendor to replace them. Saves from the previous default build (the one with the old UI) will not work. If you’d like to play on the old build to finish a run, you can enter the beta code “oldschoolfox” to go back to it so you can continue where you left off.

So what’s next? Aside from fixing any bugs that might have fallen between the cracks, I’ll be taking a short break from dev work. After that, I’d like to continue with game development, though what form that takes is currently unclear. I do have plans for more games set in the Fuchian Chronicles universe, but first I’d like to learn to use a different game engine and make smaller games to help with that. I’ll make another announcement once I’ve decided on what I’ll do next.

In the meantime, thank you all for your support thus far. I hope you enjoy the full release of Fuchian Chronicles!

Sincerely,
ShenTzu
