EA .8049 Fishing Channel + Fixes

Update .8049! Fishing Channel && Bug Fixes

There were a few rare but important bugs to address so this patch was pushed out to address them. I want to also address a few controller issues where a/b for dialog advancing are swapped. For anyone with the issue, disabling auto steam input in the controller settings before starting the game will fix this. The next update will have this automatically handled as well. I'm amazed after a year since EA launched that bugs are still popping up. Good news is they are on the rarer side and will be addressed like any monster tamer; Full force.

--- Upcoming Features ---

We have a few features that I planned for 1.0! I will be working on them over the coming weeks. Boathouse Island Exploration The boathouse will soon transport you to a faraway island, ripe with new opportunities and hours of exploration and fun.

• Multiple new maps to explore including a tiny broken down village you can help repair

• New Chronomon to battle and catch

• Find all NPCs and convince them to join the new village

• Many new buildable areas to craft and clear for

• New craftables and farm decorations

Solaris Town Build

Solaris's first town build will have a giant battle tower, similar to the arena but deeper mechanics for the end game players. (similar to Pokemon Battle towers)

Marriage and Romance

It was and still is my intention to add deeper NPC gameplay, allowing players to date and marry other select NPCs and have them join you on your farm. Let me know who you want to flirt with! Marriage will not be gender bound but will have "heart events" that determine how you want to move forward. Join our discord and let me know what you want to see.

Multiplayer

I have been wishy-washy on this subject but after reading a few user comments, I do believe taking the extra time for multiplayer will be a net positive no matter how absurdly hard it is to implement. I have always stood by making Chronomon for the player and by the player. This will absolutely push 1.0 back but I just know it will be worth it. PLEASE let me know what specific multiplayer features you want to see and help shape what you want from Chronomon.
