Hello, Chroma Engineers!
The effort to make this game better continues.
Some feedback has been that Void Hunt is boring, so added another.. Void Dive!
With the addition to Void Dive, I have also added you can for a small sum of Pristine light challenge Landmarks in Realms with a Realm Dive, instead of doing regular assault or pricy infusion.
A side note: While some might find it less valid to have an achievement connected to the feedback report, it HAS provided with more feedback than normal and I do like the random hellos :)
Patch Notes - Version 1.9.6
GLOBAL
Added: Void Dive is now available under Void Hunt in the Null tab, offering a short probe-piloting minigame that rewards Null Essence.
Added: Nine new Void Dive achievements covering first dives, realm clears, deep tiers, and flawless runs.
Fixed Bug: Touchscreen input no longer leaves mouse clicks and game buttons unresponsive on hybrid devices.
Improved: Feedback form typing should feel more responsive because the game now pauses heavy background drawing while the form is open.
Placeholder: Added paths for audio in preparation for future sound effects and music additions. Exists in Void Dive but not yet used in the main game.
STAGE 3
Fixed Bug: Fractured Void Relay now states that it is not affected by Void Nexus.
STAGE 4
Added: Realm Dive, skip a landmark's assault by clearing a short standalone Void Dive of that realm (twice the enemies, fast and dangerous) for a fraction of the Pristine Infusion cost. Win to secure the landmark.
Fixed Bug: Stage 4 Landmark Assault hexes can no longer get stuck at 99% purity and remain unusable.
STAGE 5
Fixed Bug: Creator Override tech tree now scrolls far enough to fully see the final bottom node.
Fixed Bug: Zone Control: Military now only unlocks after all five unique Military objectives are conquered.
Fixed Bug: Architect of the Void now unlocks correctly.
STAGE 9
Fixed Bug: Act 3 offline Null Essence now uses the expanded cap from NE Storage, including storage structures that finish building while you are away.
Thank you again for all the feedback, bug reports, and patience while I continue improving Project Chromata.
