Omni Link has a great story, but I wanted to create a game that makes the story a distinctive adventure for each player. [b]Crypterion Introduction[/b] Crypterion is a nostalgic re-imagining of the classic business simulation game Gazillionaire. At it's core, It's a Business Sim / Tycoon. It has a story with the depth of a visual novel filled with many interesting characters and character development. Meet a variety of alien inhabitants from different worlds and amass a fortune. Every time you play, it's different. But what is a game about acquiring mass riches if you don't have a way to spend it? Spend your riches on items in game including: new ships, gifts for companions, technology, trade permits, concept art, and even planets. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1048860/Crypterion/ [i]*Wishlist Crypterion to be notified of release date. There are plans for beta testing this year.[/i] [h1]Omni Link engine change & development[/h1] I'd like to update you on the state of Omni Link. Omni Link is built in the Game Maker Studio engine. While fixing memory leaks and patching, YoYo Games was in the process of discontinuing "Game Maker Studio 1". They did one final large patch to GM1 and when I installed that it broke my game. I reverted back to a previous version and continued working. Then one day I got on and the engine was broke again, with a windows update. Tired of this, I decided to port Omni Link into the GM2 Engine. The new engine is much more capable and supports newer direct X versions. This also gave me the idea that I could make a Steam Enhanced version of the game for free to owners of Omni Link. Longer development time means a change of plans. This is my current development roadmap: - Launch Crypterion - Finish Omni Link GM2 engine port - Steam Enhanced version of Omni Link (free to owners) - Work on Omni Link 2? Crypterion plays a big part for what's possible moving forward. That's why I've poured great effort into making a very unique and fun experience. I hope you will enjoy it!
