    Time really flies!

    And now there are only 7 days left until Small Chronicles is out! If you feel like you can't wait until then, here's what you need to know before April 29th!

    Unlocking the game

    Remember that moment when you finally reached your goal after working so hard? Can’t wait to reap the rewards? That’s why Small Chronicles is designed to be filled with tons of unlock-able stuff!

    From characters, fields and stages to increasing your inventory space, you’ll have to put in effort to unlock them. What’s even more awesome is that you can’t even spend money to get them! You’ll need to play the game to do so!

    Crafting the game

    Small Chronicles Chapter 1 itself took around 15 months of development. Luckily, the musical talent of Duncan and voice-acting awesomeness of Masaaki and Yue was enlisted to the game. Otherwise, it could end up taking longer to complete.

    During the whole 15 months, the visuals and gameplay mechanics constantly changed and evolved to what you have lately seen.

    When development first began, the game only had simple sprites and stock-like background images. Gameplay mechanics such as traps and treasure chests were pretty much non-existent back then.

    [​IMG]

    After receiving awesome feedback from the game testers, the in-game visuals was overhauled entirely.

    [​IMG]

    On top of that, adding player vs player matches was critical to improving the game’s lifespan.

    [​IMG]

    So when and how do I get the game?

    Many considerations have been taken to decide what Small Chronicles Chapter 1 will be priced at. To allow most people to try the game without any restrictions or barriers, Small Chronicles will be available for download at no charge!

    To do so, turn on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, visit the iOS App Store on this coming April 29th and search for Small Chronicles!

    Haha yes I'm from sg too! Yea but I have some good and bad news for all of you ~

    I would 1st like to apologize as due to some hiccups in getting the game on the App Store, Small Chronicles Chapter 1 will be pushed back for another 2 weeks to the new release date of May 13th.


    [​IMG]


    On the other hand, to compensate all of you who have been eagerly waiting for this, I have made it such that the first 888 players to download and play Small Chronicles on May 13th will receive 500 rubies for free!

    To do so, just go to the App Store on your iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad on May 13th and search for Small Chronicles!

    Once again, sorry for the inconvenience and do look forward to May 13th! Cheers!

    As Small Chronicles’ release date continues to draw closer, this question surfaced ~ is there a fun and interesting way to tell more people what the game is really about? And so the brainstorming began…

    [​IMG]


    The question to ask is – What was Small Chronicles really about? When I first started crafting it, I knew I wanted it to be different. I didn’t want to make a usual fantasy RPG even if I get critics blasting words at it.

    So I thought… Small Chronicles is a game that lets you experience the core of RPGs in intentionally designed small stages! Well with a certain mixture of strategy and puzzle elements too.

    And that’s when those words hit me. Small Chronicles is really about enjoying the little little things that life is made up of!

    So without spoiling anything, here’s the video for Small Chronicles: Enjoy the Small Things in Life. Enjoy and do share it among your friends and family! Cheers!

    Downloaded the game and I am so pleased that I will purchase some IAP to support the dev.

    Nice animation, simple game, small stage, pvp, storymode. All are awesome stuff.

    Would like to know about the future plans. How many future chapter are preplanned? More loots? More char? A infinite dungeon for our char to challenge and gain some wonderful loots?

    Thanks for this awesome game. Enjoying the japs voices too. Hehe

    Bastet here, #2 in arena rank.

    Got the two characters to level 30( max lvl as for now), I love the game.

    Many bugs though:

    1) the game crashes a lot (it happened more than 30 times today)
    2) we should be able to select/choose our arena opponent. I feel really sorry for this newcomer I keep on beating because I can't change opponent, I made him lose so much points, that's frustrating.
    Maybe change this so that we fight ppl the same rank as us
    3) in arena, if you do many following battles, the music will keep playing on the other next fights... After 50 fights, the sound is Evil...
    4) my mage lyea has a bug, her stats are way less than what they should be

    I find myself having -622 HP and -27% dodge if i unequip my stuff...

    There are a few more problems...

    5) my warrior is OP as for now
    His dodge reaches 140%
    There should be a limit for stats

    6) damages of ultimate skills should be lowered a lot and mana consumption as well so that we could do it numerous times but with reasonable damages
    It's stupid to kill opponents in arena with one attack. It's more of a who hit first win game...

    7) Dex stat is useless 0,04% dodge and crit per point is mediocre
    Maybe improve the stat OR reduce a lot the item bonuses that give these stats
    If I'm a level 30 full Dex that does 90dex (3pts/lvl)
    90x0,04 is nothing knowing that best boots improve dodge stats by 36!!!% at max level item

    8)items stack badly
    The best ring (880Hp gives 10 HP/lvl) while Boots gives 3% dodge/lvl. The choice is rapidly done

    9) bug encountered in arena when you kill the opponent and the victory icon does not show and you continue the fight without any enemy
    Force to close the app

    10) the ultimate skill which is supposed to consume all the mana does not consume it all at max level so, I can use it once for 240 MP and can use other skills with my 60Mp left

    Hi Bastet, would u mind sharing some tips as I can see u r rank 1 now in arena.

    Which is more powerful? The male or female char? Stats to add? Pure str for male and pure int for female?

    Items to equip? Recommended items to equip? All 3 slots for def gears?

    Skills to pump? Which skills are needed to max?

    Please kindly advice. Many thanks :)

    Yeah, was rank 1, ahah. Had 4k points, back to 2600

    Well, imo Lyea is stronger than Kon, just because of her range.
    As I said before, it's all about who hit first. So whoever cast One Guy or Fury Storm first win.
    In arena, you'll sometimes be just next to your enemy, in this case Kon can win. In the other case, at range 2+, Lyea will always win.

    For Kon, I recommand going 2 Str, 1 Con. With one guy skill, I hit 1000-1400 (2K crit) per hit! I one shot everything. The skill is broken...
    It's enough to kill everyone OS so con for Def and HP is nice.

    For Lyea, pure INT. She will hit really hard...

    As for items, I picked Boots which is the best item hands down. 36% dodge is a must have
    I picked the 250 Attack Headphones (306 at max) to improve One Guy damage
    The last item that I chose is the 880 HP (970 at max lvl) so that I can survive longer in both arena and Pve. My character is broken atm so I have 1200 attack power, 3400 HP and 140% dodge. I can't lose against Kon, only Lyea can touch me with her skills and btw she OS me

    As for Lyea, I went for the 250 MATK headphones, boots and the 19 int. Ring
    My Lyea is broken as well, she has -622 HP and -27% dodge. It seems that my Kon benefit her items. Kinda weird
