Update 1.54.1 - fixes!2025-11-24Hey everyone, Thanks for the reports! Here's a bugfix update to take care of the issues found over the weekend.

Thanks, and here are the full notes: 1.54.1: FIXES: Fixed Arena of Death not spawning enemies. Fixed the Ice Cave tileset producing invisible walls in some Anomaly layouts.

Major Update 1.54: Isolation & Anomalies2025-11-20Hey everyone! This update is a larger one - featuring a brand new Isolation mode (SSF) and many changes, improvements, and additions to Anomalies, among many other things! I also took a look at improving controller support further so do please let me know if you experience any weirdness with PS4/5 controllers, and controls on the Steam Deck. Speaking of Steam Deck, I recommend swithing to the Proton version of the game as we still haven't been able to maintain the native Linux build. (The Proton build is the exact same as Windows, so it also has better cross-save support and such) Other than that there's a lot of QoL stuff, changes based on p

Update 1.53.0 is live!2025-08-27Hey everyone! It's been amazing to see so many being hyped about new content! Here's the first of several updates, touching a little on most areas of the game. I've mostly been going over feedback from the last few years, fixing issues, adding some popular suggestions, rounding out a few builds, that kind of stuff - just to get into the rhythm again! The plan is to deliver as many updates as I can, while also working on some bigger things in the meantime. If there's anything particular you want to see in these updates, please make a post in the re-opened Suggestion Box forum, or the Suggestion-Box channel on our Discord. I am very open to sug
Chronicon 5th release anniversary & Revival2025-08-21Hey everyone! Today marks the 5th anniversary of Chronicon 1.0, and a little over 10 years since we first hit Steam Early Access. I can't believe it's been so long! It's also been about 2½ years since I released The Final Update and the Complete Edition... which I guess should soon be renamed to the Completerer? Completerest? Because, yes, I am indeed back and working on Chronicon again!Next week, we're launching update 1.53.0, featuring extended and updated (and collectible) lore, a wardrobe function for your Ancient Beasts, a proper auto-cast system that can be toggled on/off, controller/keyboard hotswapping, and some fixes, tweaks, build b
Into 2025 and beyond!2024-12-27Hey Everyone! Thank you for another great year in the Chronicon community! This year has been very exciting as we announced two new games in the Chronicon universe, and then immediately released one of them! We also welcomed a lot of new members to our Discord, now totaling nearly 4,500 people. Pretty neat! For 2025 we are continuing work on Chronicon: Survivors with more updates, in particular a big update with new weapon mechanics and progression mechanics. C:S is already in a much better state than on launch (which, admittedly, we fumbled), and with the upcoming changes and additions, we think it'll be in a pretty good spot! We're also get
New Games!2024-08-21Hello 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
What's Next2023-12-28Hey everyone! It's been a while. We'd like to thank everyone for another great year of Chronicon, and also give you a little hint of what's coming next. We've been working hard with a brand new game, which we'll be announcing properly sometime in the next year. Though for now, we can let you know that it's part of the Chronicon universe, and that it'll be something on a smaller scale than Chronicon. But we hope to make it just as fun! We know a lot of people are excited for the possibility of a sequel, but after 9 years of Chronicon, we really want to do some shorter projects, and try some new things first. After that, however... who knows? ː
Update 1.52.0 is live - The Final Update2023-03-02https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2041857428756583217/999D5738D5F537AF878CE5F5B6F6A1444EADFD1D/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false Hey everyone! We are finally here. A little over a month ago we reached the end of our Post-Release Roadmap. Since then we have been working on various bugfixes, balance and QoL improvements, and looking at your suggestions - old and new - for things we want in the final version. This update is the last planned update, and with which the game is considered "done". There may be more updates further down the road, with fixes or minor tweaks. But as far as big cont
Update 1.51.0 is live with fixes, tweaks, and some QoL improvements2023-02-03Hey everyone! Thanks for the reports & feedback! This update should fix most of the recent issues, and also reflects on some of the recent suggestions & feedback. For the next update, I'm taking another pass at some Mechanist stuff, as well as looking at making some UI improvements based on recent (and some long-time) suggestions. Keep the bug reports, feedback, and suggestions coming! I very much appreciate all your engagement :) Thank you, and have a good weekend! Here are the full notes: 1.51.0: QoL: You can now right-click Bramley to go directly to the Expedition Tree. Stackable items are now marked as favorite if either the source or tar
Update 1.50.7 live with fixes!2023-01-26Hey everyone! How are you enjoying The Mechanist? A few issues popped up and this update will take care of some of the more immediate ones, such as the Laser Drone crashing on boss death cutscenes. I am also working on another update to squash the rest of the bugs, and fix some weird skill behavior and such. I also expect to be doing a balance/tweak pass over the next few weeks, so if you have any feedback regarding balance and builds, please let me know! (I would also recommend joining our Discord and theorycraft and bounce ideas with the community! This is also the place where I am most active myself. Here is a link: https://discord.gg/nSKh
The Mechanist DLC is now available!2023-01-25Hey everyone! The Mechanist is now available! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2206120/Chronicon__The_Mechanist/ We hope you will enjoy playing it as much as we did making it. Thank you for your support!
Update 1.50.5 live with fixes2023-01-24Hey everyone! Another small update as we are prepping to release The Mechanist. Which we will be doing... tomorrow! Thanks for your reports, and please let us know if you find any more issues. Thank you! Here are the full notes: 1.50.5 Prepared for Mechanist release... Added more stash tab icons (right click stash tab icons to cycle the image) - these additions may have shuffled your currently selected ones. Skills "Poison Arrow" and "Vine Shot" (Warden) are now Archery skills rather than Nature. Fixed several thrown skills not breaking breakable objects they pass through. Fixed some skills that can change behaviour with an item/power (like S
Update 1.50.3 is out to fix the launch problem (for real this time)2023-01-13Hey everyone! Thanks for being patient with us. We have finally got a fix for the launching issue introduced with update 1.50.0! This update runs on a BETA build of the game engine so there may be some unexpected behavior - please let us know if you encounter anything weird. We will be updating another time around the DLC release (still planned for later this month) on a stable engine release, so if there are any weird issues we are expecting to have them resolved by then. Also included in this update is another Shared Stash tab :) Thanks again - we look forward to releasing the Mechanist! Here are the full notes: 1.50.3: Added an additional
The Mechanist Arrives in January!2022-12-22Hey everyone! We're launching the Mechanist DLC next month! We planned to do it before christmas but unfortunately we've had some last minute problems with the DLC, and as you may be aware the game itself is a bit finnicky with starting right now. So we're working on that and trying to get all that sorted out before we release The Mechanist. (Launching a DLC during the upcoming Winter Sale is also a pretty bad move if you're a small developer like us). We are sorry about the delays and recent technical problems, and thankful for your patience with us as we figure this out! Meanwhile, consider wishlisting the DLC so you are notified once it's
Update 1.50.1 is out to fix the launching problem2022-12-16Hey everyone! There was an issue in the previous update which made it so the game sometimes wouldn't launch - this issue should now be fixed. Please let us know if you're still seeing this problem! We also fixed a few other things while we were at it. Thanks! 1.50.1 Added more shorthands for really large numbers. Items no longer roll enchants/stats that are exclusive to a class that isn't being played, ie no longer getting random Shadow Damage when not playing a Warlock or Ammo enchants when not playing Mechanist. Fixed some missing text in localizations. Fix for game not starting properly on Steam sometimes.
