Chrono Ecstasy — Preview Build #1

Added 2025-02-09 23:29:46 +0000 UTC

The first batch of changes is here, and we're starting with the biggest one: Research Revamp.

As mentioned in our previous post, we know that the Research-mode felt underwhelming from almost all points of view until now, that's why we decided to completely overhaul this game-mode.

With this overhaul, we aim to make Researching more immersive but also challenging without losing the main point of the story - expanding your time-stop company.

Before continuing, please note that this is only a PREVIEW build, created to preview a new system which is part of a bigger update we're currently working on. Multiple features are still in a very early version or not fully adapted to pre-existing systems (e.g.: events, missions, cards, etc...)

Swipe-based Adventure

Your goal: make your services known to the people, but pay attention to your social stats!

In the new Research game-mode you "explore" various city areas in order to make your services known to the people. This can prove to be a difficult task since your "services" are a bit... different from others.

You're given 3 social stats that you'll have to balance throughout the day: Trust, Popularity and Budget.

But be careful, getting too many or too few points on any of these stats will bring negative consequences! The sweet spot is in the middle~

So far there are over 70+ situations available for you to manage in only 1 area. More are yet to come.

Since this is only a preview build meant to keep you updated with we're cooking, multiple sub-systems are not implemented yet, such as Area Progression and Area Objectives.

Don't worry, by the time the whole update is done these should be implemented too.

Here's what we're preparing for the upcoming Preview Builds:

Requests Generation (they will be properly displayed on the Research Result screen)
Request Consequences
Effects Update for Cards (since the previous effects are no longer relevant)
Cards Progression Update
General Progression Update
Much more...

P.s.: The mail System has also been updated. All players that received the Update mails in previous versions should get mails for each big Update from now on.
