Thank you so much for your support over the past year, Wardens!
To celebrate Chrono Gear's first anniversary, we have a couple of cool updates for you...
Chrono Gear on Nintendo Switch!
We are pleased to announce that with the help of holo Indie, a Nintendo Switch version of Chrono Gear: Warden of Time is now in development!
In addition, Spanish and Indonesian language options are in the works, which will be brought over to Steam at the same time.
Version 1.1.14 Ready for Testing!
Tryptech has prepared a new update for us with several popular requests, including a cutscene viewer, true widescreen support, and Mac support!
This update is in the beta branch for testing. We'll bring it over to the main branch a few days if everything checks out.
You can read the full patch notes below.
General:
Added support for multiple aspect ratios (4:3, 3:2, 5:3, and 16:9). Stage layouts, HUD, menus, cutscenes, and 3D flight sections have been adjusted to match.
A cutscene viewer has been added to the Extras menu.
Adjusted level loading behavior. Transitions now load asynchronously and wait for the previous stage to unload, reducing hitching and memory spikes on heavier stages.
Exiting to hub after picking up a Golden Gear always grants the gear and a results screen.
Added infinite mana as a custom difficulty option.
Custom translation loading is now enabled.
Various Japanese translation corrections.
Golden Gear animations now play at the correct speed when spawning.
The Screen Shake setting now also applies to cutscenes.
Fixed the saved window resolution being overwritten by initial launch resizing.
Fullscreen and border art settings are now saved when changed.
Reverted airborne camera pan decay to an earlier behavior.
Enemy health bars are now hidden during cutscenes.
Fixed some enemies and objects going abruptly silent when they moved off-screen.
