There are some pretty exciting additions to the game with this patch, so here’s what’s new in Update 0.3.0. First off, we have removed the temporary tutorial video and have implemented the playable …
Hello again everyone, we’re overdue for another update on The Chaser’s Voyage, so we hope you’re ready! 1) Everything’s looking super good. Unlike the rest of the game, the tutorial is a set string of events. This gave us more freedom to actually tell a more concrete narrative, which we have fully capitalized on. …
Hey everyone, we’ve been working hard on the tutorial in preparations for our tutorial update. To keep you all in the loop, here is some of the specific stuff we are currently working on. 1) Wrapping up the actual playable tutorial sequences.
