Beta 3.0 is Here!

The third beta version of Chrome Arena is here! We now have more units to choose from, "artifacts" with which to interact with the battles, a better tutorial system, and more!

One of my leading goals for this update, aside from more content, was to make the experience more interactive and user-friendly, so that I don't have to watch over the player's shoulder and explain how it works. For that reason, I polished the tutorial system by dividing the text into "dialogue boxes," several smaller pieces of text to make reading more bearable.

I have also received several requests for interactivity during the battles, so I added "artifacts," items that you can select and use during battle to help your troops. Attention to feedback is key for player satisfaction!

Being a beta version, of course, none of this is set in stone; I still have a lot of work to do to make Chrome Arena an intuitive, user-friendly experience. If I return to work on it next year, I have a lot of changes planned: more units and levels (as always), better artifacts, a "hub" area separate from the level map, new graphics to call my own, and more. In the meantime, thanks again for checking out my game.
