Chains of Destiny is back!!
Hey everyone!
I hope you’re all doing great! Just wanted to let you know that I’ve finally uploaded the ‘beta’ version of Chapter 3!
This update brings 210k additional words to the game. However, keep in mind it is still in ‘beta’, so many choices are still WIP, and there are some additional variations from previous chapters that still need to be implemented. As the framework is largely there, I’ll continue to work on the WIP choices and variations and release small monthly updates where I add everything I’ve completed before moving on to part 2.
There are a lot of new variables, so you will need to start a new save to play the update. I’ve heard that cogdemos asks you to restart the game when there are some big changes in a chapter. So, to avoid forcing you to restart constantly, I won’t be updating the demo for small things (like typos) until the next update, only for fixing more serious bugs. Neverthless, if you spot any inconsistencies, errors, or things that seem off, please let me know! Also, if you have any feedback, critiques, or suggestions, feel free to share them with me!

A couple of other important things:
First, I’ve decided to remove all AI generated images from the game and my tumblr. From now on, this project will only contain human art.
Second, since the game is getting huge (and the variations are getting tricky to test alone) I’m going to post a form next week to recruit some beta readers/testers. I’m not sure how many people will be interested, so I’ll decide how many testers to ‘take on’ based on the responses.
Third, is well…an apology. This update took far longer than it should have, and while the common excuses still apply (life happened, update got bigger than I thought), a 7 month silence on the forum is not okay. From now on, I’m going to post monthly progress updates on here just as I do on my tumblr so everyone stays informed regardless of the platform you use.
Thank you all for your patience and support. I hope you enjoy the new content!
