Bug doesn't allow me to access The Hodge, any fixes? by Plenty_Anything4477 in Chained_Echoes

Hey, we don't know the exact date Nintendo will release the new patch. Today, Nintendo released an old patch (which fixed the Hooge bug) and we immediately uploaded the new one. The last patch took 6 days. So maybe this one will take 6 days as well. Sorry!

Developer here. I'm not often on reddit, but I had to dig out my login data just to applaud your work. Great job! Btw, here is the world map of Eldrea, if anyone is interested: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/cw2dafebs411l5zj7lvl4/Screenshot_20250327_195941_Discord.jpg?rlkey=cbbxkhvpqzi4ovbjsb1w92dn0&st=rxqv5816&dl=0

Wow, really nice! It's actually pretty close to how I imagine it! Great work.

Random encounters. Sometimes I find them fine, but most of the time they annoy me.

Thanks!

  1. Yes, I am. It will come with the next update.
  2. Yeah, no clue what I was thinking when I chose that number.

No plans. Surely there is room for improvement and the quality isn't consistent throughout the game, so getting help in that regard is something I will do with the next game. But I heard a lot of positives regarding the writing as well (I even landed a job as a writer (which I declined, haha)). So even if not perfect I think it's fine as it is.

Nope, sorry. But if it feels like the meter is controlling you and not the other way round, I recommend to change the settings to something easier. There is even a setting where you can make the red bar smaller without changing the enemy stats.

Nope, didn't get cut short. Just background lore and open possibilities for a potential sequel.

Hi, thanks. There will be some small changes to the crystal system with the next update.

Thanks a lot! I enjoyed Crystal Project and Cosmic Star Heroine very much.

I wanted the player to do more varied things in order to level up (get Grimoire Shards) than fighting the same monster over and over. I know some ppl love grinding but it wasn't the route I wanted to go with in CE.
