Chronicles: The Lost Page

Hello everyone! I am pleased to announce that Chronicles: The Lost Page v1.4.1 has finally released! This update took a surprisingly amount of work, as everything top to bottom had to be completely rebalanced in order to account for all the changes I wanted made to drastically improve this game. Enemies have been rebalanced to be far more challenging and MP is no longer an issue you'll have to think too much about. Character now have new and more varied skillsets with new effects. Hopefully this will be the final update for Chronicles the Lost Page, but there are still some small things that need fixing like the bellowing blade animation being slightly bugged and potentially a few text issues with there not being spaces in certain parts due to text wrapping, which I have found in my development on Noel and the Tower of Doom to be incredibly useful in not causing dialogue to overflow. Here are all the changes if you were wondering:

Now it's back to working on Noel and the Tower of Doom. Hopefully I can get the game done before Christmas, and then I can spend all of 2024 focusing solely on Chronicles Meteorfall. COVID and the failure of Meteo Chronicles really screwed over my schedule, but by the end of 2024 I hope to get things back on track with the release of Noel and the Tower of Doom in 2023 and Chronicles Meteorfall in 2024. Get hyped!
