Chroma Squad Build 20180224

The indie superhero TV show studio simulator is now more meta than ever!

Today, we announce the release of the free “Episode Editor” update for the Steam version of Chroma Squad on PC, Mac and Linux.

The "Episode Editor" free update to Chroma Squad allows players to create and share their custom Episodes using the Steam Workshop feature. The editor is very powerful, allowing for complex episodes including custom dialogue, cutscenes, battles and more. There is full Documentation available for the editor, as well as a video tutorial.

The game’s designer Mark Venturelli also included a brand new Chroma Squad episode called “Mark’s Wedding”, designed to slot right into the main campaign’s 4th Season. Fans can play the Episode and also use it as a guide for what’s possible with the new Editor.

1) If you are on Mac or Linux and have been having problems launching the game, we figured out why - it's actually a Steam patch problem related to us renaming the executable. That's why we were having it work for some people but not work for others.

**TO FIX THIS ISSUE**
- Go to your Library, and right-click "Chroma Squad";
- Select "Properties";
- Select the "Local Files" tab;
- Select the option "Browse Local Files";
- Now, on the game folder, right click "chromasquad";
- Select the "Get Info" option;
- Open the folder Contents\MacOS;
- Rename the file "mac2" to "chromasquad";

Please let us know if this solves the issue for you.

2) If you are experiencing a freeze on the final boss (please avoid spoilers and don't mention the name of the boss on the comments), we have fixed an issue on that fight, but we have failed to reproduce some of the cases that you have reported - we've played this fight over 20 times and it seems perfectly stable on our machines now.

Please let us know if the freeze still occurs for you. If it does, send us a report with your email through the in-game system. We might ask you for your save game file to try and catch this elusive issue.

That's it for today :)

Cheers,

~Mark
