Updated information about this game

Hello everyone. I have updated this game page to reflect the current standing of this game and it's release.

In short, "Meteo Chronicles" as it is displayed here is not a finished product. It is an unfinished, incomplete tech demo for the REAL game, Chronicles Meteorfall, which is commercial. It's a long story, but in short I rushed the ending of this game and didn't playtest anything past Chapter 5 at all, leading to most of the content post-chapter 5 to be largely broken. In addition, the game suffered from heavy lore and tonal inconsistencies, a weak overall script, a contrived storyline, blatantly terrible dungeon design, and generally poor gameplay. Due to these factors, the game's poor reception, and me being highly unsatisfied with the finished product, I decided to go back and "remaster" Meteo Chronicles as a new release, "Meteo Chronicles R."

However, during the devolpment of this new version there were always major parts of the game that I wanted to change that weren't as simple as a mere remaster would allow. Somewhere in my heart I wished I could start this entire project over from scratch, but was too dedicated and attached to what I had already made to start again from scatch. And then, it happened. My PC completely broke, and the file recovery service I was ended up being completely useless due to being randomly discontinued so even when I got my new PC I couldn't recover my files at all besides the ones I had already uploaded online. Like it or not, I had to start the entire project from scatch unless I wanted to start back again with remastered the OG Meteo Chronicles from scratch.

I said no to that, and began following my previously distant dream of restarting development of "Meteo Chronicles", now known as "Chronicles Meteorfall", from scratch. I started work on this new version in early 2023, but I didn't get far before being distracted by my other game, Noel and the Tower of Doom, who's development took up most of my 2023. 2024 has been the first year that I have been able to FULLY lock in on Chronicles Meteorfall's development, and so far it's going great! I've made a lot of changes since I started. Engine switching back and forth, changing battle systems and major game mechanics, etc. But now I'm almost positive everything is finally set in stone. The new version so far has been developed up to Chapter 3, which is when the demo for Chronicles Meteorfall happens to end. I still have a bit of work to do before the demo releases, primarily added in the player battle graphics and fixing bugs, plugin issues, and the like, but the demo should be out by December 24th 2024, which is coming up soon! I've very excided for this new take on the original Meteo Chronicles story, and I can't wait to share it with you all.

But where does that leave the original Meteo Chronicles? Well, safe to say, this version will never be worked on again. Development on this build, v0.1 to v1.3.1, is over. Development on Meteo Chronicles R, v2.0.1 to v2.0.8, is also over as well considering I lost all the files. However, development on the third and final major version of this tale, Chronicles Meteorfall, will continue into the distant future. This version of the game however is partially abandonware, and only being left up on the internet for the sake of game preservation, which I care a lot about. If you want to play the fully realized version of this adventure, purchase and play Chronicles Meteorfall, or at least try out the lengthy 4-8 hour demo. I have updated this game's page to reflect the current status of the project and this version's place in everything. Thank you for understanding. And until next time, happy gamemak everyone!
