July Dev-Log

Hi everyone! You may have already noticed that the game's release date now shows 2025 instead of a specific time. I need to explain the reasons behind this decision.

Gameplay

changedFirst, the art work has exceeded expectations, making it impossible for me to accurately estimate the completion time. Second, during the level creation process, I discovered that it would be very difficult to differentiate between the originally planned four selectable protagonists. Unlike grand strategy games as Chaos Galaxy that change with each playthrough, Chaos Front is a story-rich SRPG, if different protagonists experience mostly the same missions, the gameplay would become boring.

changedTherefore, I've reduced the number of available protagonists to two. Many other characters that were previously designed have been repurposed as enemy and ally characters that appear in the story. This way, each of the two protagonists will have sufficiently rich and distinct story experiences.

removedAs a result, my previous plan to start Early Access with partial protagonists and release the full version later also needs to change. Given the frequent content modifications currently happening, the more responsible way to provide everyone with a complete story and gaming experience would be to release the full version without EA. Therefore, Chaos Front will no longer begin Early Access in Q3 of this year, but will instead launch as a full version directly after all content is finished in a few more months.

addedI will inform everyone of the new release date once most of the work is completed. Until then, I apologize that I cannot provide a definitive date for now.

addedAdditionally, this announcement's cover features a new Alien apostle image. Yes, an apostle will appear in Chaos Front. In Chaos Galaxy 2, we commanded massive fleets in galaxy-scale battles against the Black Dragon's alien host. Now, going back over a thousand years in time, we become a mercenary group with only a few ships, about to face this powerful cosmic monster and its alien army directly.
