Hey everyone! How was your Christmas? Lots of good food and gifts? Progress has been Small Chronicles has slowed down a little during this festive period but that doesn't mean that there was no progress at all! Ever since the latest beta update (which includes the addition of the all-new league mode), you guys/gals have given some awesome feedback! So here's my response to you all! (yes I do listen to feedback ) Skipping and skipping Winning a stage brings you to this scene where you are able to see how much gold and how many moves you took during the stage. However, sometimes it might take some time for all of that animation to be over. So if you have already seen it before and wished that it could be skipped, now it is possible to do so! The new skip button at the top right corner brings you right to the end where you'll see your rank for the stage! You won't be able to see how much gold you have earned or how many moves you took though. But hey, now you can skip straight to getting more stuff from the store or jump right to the next stage! Stage ranks and rubies Now if you have played Small Chronicles (as an alpha/beta tester), clearing any stage with a 'A' or 'S' rank earns you free rubies! However, that also means that with a high level character, you could potentially play stage 1 over and over again for that awesome 6 rubies. To prevent that from being abused, the amount of rubies that you can earn from each stage is now dependent on your character's level! This will also encourage you to attempt stages that are more relevant to your character's level (stronger monsters, better rewards) ! Customizing appearances This is actually one of the most requested feature I had so far! While it is still under progression, it will not be like your usual character customization screen at the start of the game. Think of it as character customization through the items that you equip. You can be sure that it will help your character stand out, especially in league matches! Be sure to keep checking back to find out when the next update will arrive! And if you haven't done so, be sure to like Small Chronicles on Facebook or follow on Twitter! Cheers!
Happy 2014 everyone! Hope everyone had a great celebration and have an awesome new year ahead! I have also wrote my thoughts and did a simple reflection on what has happened in 2013 for Small Chronicles! Check it out here at http://whitesponge.com/blog/looking-back-at-2013/
It has been almost 10 days since the last update! I have been spending all these time changing and adding stuff in response to feedbacks from Small Chronicles' open beta! A major addition is that now you can buy headgears from the in-game store! So what do you think happens when you equip a headgear? When you equip one, you will be able to customize your characters according to the headgear you equipped! Notice how Kon looked above in action with the blue hat equipped? Headgears will come to the open beta really soon! So check back for more updates and thanks for your support guys/gals!
How is everyone doing? Been awesome? I'm here with another update on Small Chronicles! The past few days have been spent on finalizing headgear in the game! Here are a few preview screenshots of what characters look like when you equip them with headgear Lyea with her red headband ready for some magic action! And here's Kon with his paper bandana in action! Headgears are also slightly different from regular equipment in the way they add stat bonuses to your character. Instead of just 1 stat, they add bonuses to 2 different stats! And now that headgear's done, I am spending more time on making achievements more worthwhile to complete! That also means that I will be adding many new achievements to Small Chronicles! I will posting sneak previews of the new achievements in the next update!
It has been a while since the last open beta update! And now v1.03 has finally arrived! While v1.02 (the previous version) added league mode to Small Chronicles, v1.03 introduces headgears and new achievements to the game. Equipping your characters with headgears will customize their outlook while also adding stat bonuses to them. I have also added tons of new achievements to Small Chronicles! Completing achievements can now also earn you rubies! And if you are curious as to what new achievements there are, you can also view them from the new achievements list! There are also some changes and bug fixes to the game. To read all about what's new in v1.03, do check out the blog post at http://whitesponge.com/blog/open-beta-v1-03-has-arrived/ Small Chronicles' open beta is coming to its closing soon! Which means that the announcement of the official release date of Chapter 1 is near! So do always check back for when it's announced!
How's everyone's day? Awesome? Small Chronicles' progress is still going on strong! I have spent the last few days taking screenshots and adding in-game help content! If there's anything that you don't understand in the game, the in-game help content will be there to aid you! And of course you can always tweet me at @WhiteSponge too! In-game tips are on the way too!
Hey everyone! How has your day been? I have just added tips to Small Chronicles! They will appear randomly during the game's loading scene (as shown below)! And here's the video version of it! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel And just 1 more thing ~ the open beta of Small Chronicles is coming to its end soon so if you want to contribute your feedback and also earn rewards for doing so, be sure to hurry up and sign up now!

Hey everyone! I'm back with another update! As I had mentioned before, Small Chronicles will be released into multiple chapters. Chapter 1 - Key of Light and Darkness introduces the first two playable characters - Kon and Lyea. Kon, whose sister was mysteriously kidnapped by an unknown evil force, sets out on an journey to rescue her. On the other hand, Lyea, who is also Kon's childhood friend, decides to chase after Kon when she discovered that he left without saying anything. Chapter 1 only tells the first half of the game's story but also introduces league mode! League mode is where you can pit your characters against other opponents and win awesome rewards (rubies)! So what about the 2nd half of the game? That's where Chapter 2 comes in I will also be announcing when the open beta closes and the official release date of Chapter 1 really soon! ^^
thanks! if you're interested to know when Chapter 1 is released, you can also follow @WhiteSponge on twitter lol ~
Hey guys/gals how's your day? It is going to be another awesome weekend! Remember when I mentioned that I reduced the file size during 1 of the previous open beta updates for Small Chronicles? Well I did it again... From the initial size of 200MB, I reduced it to around 150MB by simply changing the file compression formats for the voice over audio files. If you want to know how, do check out this post by Gamua While that is indeed a huge decrease in size, it still exceeds the 100MB allowance for downloading apps over cellular networks. So what else can be done to further decrease the total size? By making the game's content downloadable! Moving the game's content to a server allows the game to be shipped with a much smaller footprint! As not everyone will use the in-game help content frequently, moving it to a server and making it downloadable further reduces the game's total size! So how much was shaved off from the game's total size? That's almost 60MB gone! While it might not seem like a lot, it is a lot when you are downloading something with that size on your mobile device! With that said, does that mean that Small Chronicles Chapter 1 is coming really soon?
hey everyone! How's your day been? It has been more than 2 weeks since I last posted an update here! I have spent the last 2 weeks doing final testings on the game and also weeding out any possible remaining bugs! I would say that I'm at the last mile (about 95%) done for the release of Chapter 1! So while that's going on, here are a few more (last few) preview screenshots! The last screenshot shows a last minute change that I made in the game. Basically instead of always stunning (100%), Kon's charge skill now has a chance (4 - 12%, dependent on level of skill) of stunning. This change should make the game more balanced as there won't be anymore abusing of the skill I will be announcing Chapter 1's release date right after I have finished the final round of testing! If you want to find out earlier, you can also like Small Chronicles on Facebook or follow on Twitter! Cheers!
This has really come a long way, and I bet it feels great to be in the final mile! I love the hats I'm looking forward to putting one on my own walking head I hope final testing goes well for you, good luck!
Am I the only one creeped out with only having your characters' heads on the battle map? Especially with them animating (blinking and stuff), it's just very unsettling to me.
I'm glad that you like the hats! Thanks for always following and for the support! The release date will be announced really soon! I am glad that it has managed to stir some emotions inside of you! Ahahahaha
It has been a while but it is finally time to announce the official release date of Small Chronicles Chapter 1 - Key of Light and Darkness! That's right! It will be released exactly 4 weeks from now on the last Tuesday of the month - April 29th! Mark your calendars right now so you won't miss downloading it! So what happens from now till when Small Chronicles is out? Well sit tight as a new video series will be introduced! This series will showcase some self-reflection and re-collection of the game's crafting journey! Also don't miss the official release trailer coming within the next few days too!
