Hi, folks! Here we are, again!
Shall we get started? Let's begin!
1.- Beta release:
We understand that everyone is anxiously awaiting for the release of Chronos Builder so you can get working on your extraordinary maps which we too are excited to see, and we can assure you we have done everything we can and continue to do so (we have even bought crueller whips XD) to launch the beta in April.
Although Cybrex has shared a calendar (in Discord) where it clearly states that April 2022 has 60 days for us to work in, we are sorry to confirm that the beta will be delayed (according to conventional calendars).
Our intent is to deliver it as soon as possible, but it will be in May.
2.- Road-map:
Even with this news, the road-map is not altered. We wanted to be able to have many of the tools we had already designed working together, and we have come up against certain concessions that we did not want to make.
On the other hand, we have decided not to finish things "for the beta" and instead redo them later. Because of this, what we are working on will be kept alive and we are still targeting a final release in October this year.
3.- Steam Keys release:
We are preparing all the steam keys for the release. We will make another announcement when we deploy them (to your email accounts). Because there are roughly 2100 of them, it will take several hours. THEN we will tell you when the beta is downloadable through Steam (of course).
4.- Discord:
I think it's only fair to make mention of the Discord "family". In general, we cannot thank you enough for trusting in us, for funding the work we are doing for the community and for being understanding that software often has delays and that to rush a product out could mean certain disaster for the final product. We truly cannot thank you enough now and in the common months as we work together in creating one of the best map builder on the market.
We love the community we’ve built and we hope to continue growing the community and loving you all more with all our little black hearts.
That's all, friends! Stick with us, stay connected and we promise it will be well worth it.
Cheers!
April is here! Praise April!

Hi, folks!
We are here, again! It is time for our monthly update. Are you ready?
1.- Let's talk (again) about us ;)
Do you want to contact us? There is a lot of ways.
The Pledge Manager and the Late Pledge are fully functional now.
- All backers should have received an invitation to finish their pledge in their email. If you are a backer and have not receieve it, you can click here and request another survey!
- If you are not a backer and you want to back us... you can access to the Late pledge here!
3.- I thought it was April the month for the beta release...
Oh... was it? :D
We had some covid issues, but we are working non-stop to release the beta during april. You can give us more pressure in our discord channel (hehehe).
This beta release is very important to us. You won't have all the features (because it is a beta, of course), but we want you to have a rough idea of what we will offer the final version of Chronos Builder.
With that said, we will need your feedback to improve the final release.
By the way, feedback will be applied for minor changes in the system, or maybe to have some goals future plans. The main details of what’s to come in Chronos Builder can be found on our KS page!
4.- Do you have something about art?
Oh, you are dead right! We wanted to talk about that.
We will give you some ideas of our design of assets/environments over the course of beta testing. We want to give you as many assets as possible, but we also want everything to be as coherent as possible.
Our illustrator has been working on the first concepts, in order to obtain the "look & feel" of the maps. What do you think so far?
Tavern concept
Tavern/Medieval room
Spaceship/Sci-fi Concept
Space-ship/Sci-fi room
I think I don't have to say it... but these are drafts, it is not the final version... XD
5.- To finish... how is everything going?
As we’ve mentioned before, we have divided the work into three big branches:
- Feature development.
- Creation of own assets.
- UX design.
We have open a new branch, the "facilitators" one. A branch for releasing the demo on steam (you'll receive a key on your e-mail), the QA of it and the resources revision.
You'll receive more news during this month. It's a promise! :)
That's all. Thank you very much for backing us, as always. The wait will be worth it ;)
See you soon! Thank you!
Cheers!!
March is here! We have some news :D

Hi, folks!
We are here, again! It is time for our monthly update. Are you ready?
1.- Let's talk about us ;)
Do you want to contact us? There is a lot of ways.
As we announced in our last update, we were finishing the preparations for the Pledge manager and Late pledge.
- All backers should have received an invitation to finish their pledge in their email. If you are a backer and have not receieve it, you can click here and request another survey!
- If you are not a backer and you want to back us... you can access to the Late pledge here!
3.- About the assets with images/logos
We have a lot of questions about this. Let's reveal the answers :D
- We need you to send us the image/logo to info@chronosbuilder.
- We need to know who you are! Please use the same mail from your KS account, or give us your information in the mail body.
- We will prepare the custom assets for the final release (October). However, there is no time limit, we can still receive images before that.
- The images must be in JPG or PNG. We don't have exact measures at this time. We will be looking for a more square/rectangular asset depending of the images we receive. We will also think having more than one asset frame for each environment.
- We won't do any work on the image (it will be impossible for all of them), but our 2D artist will check all of them, to make sure they fit ok! :D
4.- (Discord) Como están, amigos?
We will open a spanish channel on discord, to discuss things in spanish too :D
5.- Premium assets!!
Did you like the bike for the cyberpunk environment? Have you ever seen this kind of red bike so characteristic? I don't think so (laughs).
We come to the last point of this update! But it's very important, isn't it?
As we told you, we expanded equipment and we're working pretty well (even if they won't let us out of the basement where they have us chained - two blinks!).
The work has been divided into three main groups:
- Feature development.
- Creation of own assets.
- UX design.
And we are moving forward with all of them at a steady pace.
That's all. Thank you very much for backing us, as always. The wait will be worth it ;)
See you soon! Thank you!
Cheers!!
Monthly update (february). What's up, folks?
about 4 years ago
– Fri, Feb 18, 2022 at 12:32:21 AM
Hi, folks, how is everything going?
We hope everything is going smoothly. Here, the Chronos Builder team is working non-stop.
And we have some news we want to share with you!
1.- Bigger team, bigger dreams!
- The first thing is the most important!! We are committed to deliver you the best Chronos Builder possible. Therefore, we have grown as a team, and we have added two more programmers and two more 3D artists. There is a lot to do!
2.- Upgrades and Discord server... why not?
- The processes we are developing now have very little visibility, so we have taken a little bit longer to give you signs of life (but we don't forget you!).
- So, we assure you that we will have at least a monthly update here on Kickstarter (promise!).
- And, of course, if you want to ask us anything, you can join our Discord server and push us more. XD
- You're really welcome! (and there are really nice people there) -> https://discord.gg/pQQfExSh
3.- Pledge manager & Late pledge
- We just finished our Pledge manager & Late pledge through Backerkit! It will go live in the next 48 hour (more or less!).
- Remember that the Pledge Manager is only in case you want to upgrade your pledge. If not, you need to do nothing at all, and you will receive your beta or final key when they are ready! ;)
- By the way, we will do a smoke test. That means that we will send the invitation to 5% of all backers, so they can tell us if something goes wrong (if you get it, consider yourself a "chosen one"). After 24 hours we will send an invitation to the rest of humanity.
4.- Do you want to see something cool?
- Since we can't show you other very juicy things, we have finished some of the premium assets, and they look really cool... what do you think?
(You'll see the rest on Discord... and here, hehehe).
5.- Thank you very much!!
- We can't close this update without repeating our most sincere thanks. Your support means a lot to us, and, for that reason, we are studying the possibility of giving you some more rewards (let's hope the late pledge will help us!).
- But that's still a secret... shhh.... XD
- And a big thanks for the big support in Discord and RRSS... YOU ARE THE BEST!
---
And that's all (for the moment). We hope that in the next update we can show you something related to the use/programming of Chronos Builder. Stay tuned.
Stay safe! Drink water! Cheers! :D
More news, more news... and a live thank you!
