- Missing tutorial text bug fix - 18 February 2021
Sometimes the tutorial wouldn't load in properly, showing no text to the players. This bug was very tricky to find since it doesn't show up in the engine. We hope we got it though. Apologies for the issue.

- Chroma’s Interactive Tutorial is Now Live! - 31 January 2021
It was only yesterday when we shared the information about the overhaul coming to Chroma’s new player experience. It was in that update that we also shared the information that Chroma would not be receiving an in-game tutorial. So, you may be surprised to hear that an in-game interactive tutorial is now live in Chroma: Bloom & Blight! What changed? To be clear, an in-game tutorial is something we always wanted to bring to the game. We are a very small team and balancing what Chroma needed to launch didn’t bring about any easy decisions. Clearly, the ‘play to learn’ approach we took was not what some players enjoy when starting their Chroma journey. Since the game’s release, we have been working around the clock to build a tutorial. This wasn’t an easy task, but we realised it was an important one based on your feedback. We’re incredibly proud of what the team has been able to achieve in…
- Patch 31.01.2021 - 31 January 2021
Added a gameplay tutorial. This tutorial covers the basics. We’re going to add an additional tutorial with some more advanced mechanics as well soon. Updated the visual for Companions being able to attack. This is still a bit work in progress, feedback is appreciated. Fixed the wrong Ashes count bug and deck saving bug. Improved the optimization. Added a welcome message for new players. Fixed wrong hero ability tooltips. Adjust rank floors from every 1000 MMR to every 500 MMR. Once you reach a rank floor you can’t drop below it anymore. Immediate plans Add tutorial 2. Add Chinese translation. Release a new balance patch. Improve feedback and responsiveness of main menu UI. Adjust card frames to increase readability.
- Chroma's New Player Experiences is Being Reworked - 29 January 2021
As you know, Chroma: Bloom and Blight released yesterday and we’ve been blown away by your support for the game. As of writing this, over 7000 of you have downloaded Chroma, a number we dreamed of hitting in the opening month, not the opening 20 hours! One of the most important parts of any game release is the feedback from the community, and trust us when we say we’ve been listening. There has been a lot of feedback towards the new player experience, more specifically the lack of a tutorial. Before we go into the rework of the new player experience, we wanted to answer the question we’ve been asked a lot, ‘why’s there no tutorial’? The short answer here is lack of time. We are a very small development team, and with development resources running tight we had to release the game. A tutorial was something we spoke a lot about, but committing development to a tutorial would have put the g…
- Patch 28.01.2021 - 28 January 2021
Hey, welcome to the first patch of many. Thank you very much for playing Chroma. We're aware that there are a variety of UI issues that require work and I promise you: We're on it! Our immediate plans are entirely centered around improving the UI and easing the learning curve. Onto the patch notes: Fixed an issue which caused Emotes to be displayed twice in the inventory. Added deckbuilder tooltips. Fixed the options menu not always remembering your selected options. Fixed various minor issues with the lore page. Fixed various minor issues with the inventory page.
- Chroma: Bloom and Blight is now available - 28 January 2021
Chroma has officially been released! Since starting development on Chroma: Bloom and Blight 18 months ago I think all of us (developers) have been through just about every emotion possible. So, it’s with great delight that I can finally say these words...you can play Chroma now! Where to start? As you know, all cards in Chroma are free and available to you the moment the game opens. This can make learning Chroma a little overwhelming, so, where do you start? There's a learn tab at the top of the home screen. This tab is not a strict tutorial (we couldn’t bring it upon ourselves to force you through another card game tutorial), instead, it will explain the basics of the game’s mechanics and in-game UI. Once you’ve read through the learn tab we recommend you jump into some bot matches or casual matches with the starter decks. The mono-color starters are slightly easier to pilot over the d…
- Chroma: Bloom and Blight is releasing on the 28th January - 5 January 2021
The past 18 months have been a true rollercoaster ride for Chroma, from penciled ideas to an overwhelming Kickstarter campaign. So, it's with great excitement that we can confirm Chroma will release on Steam on Thursday 28th January. As you'll know, Chroma will release with all cards unlocked and available to all players. This 'truly free-to-play' approach isn't just for the launch of the game, but is the case for all future expansions - not a single card pack can be found in Chroma. We are currently working hard to ensure you are offered a deep and diverse experience at launch, here's what you can expect on day one: -Casual and Ranked matchmaking (Bo1 & Bo3 (with sideboard)) -In-depth tutorial to understand the core mechanics of Chroma -240 cards representing 4 diverse factions -22 Heroes, all bringing their own powerful abilities to the story -Private matchmaking -In-game spectate mod…
