The Firebreak Chapter 1 Story is complete!
The script is done for Chapter 1, and the art isn't far behind. Over the coming weeks, I'll be pulling everything together into the presentation we're shooting for, and we'll have a beta on the tail end of that!
You'll play the role of William Bennett (name customizeable) who was introduced at the end of Chapter 9 in Chasing Sunsets on a beach in Mexico (if Christian died in your playthrough) or Chapter 10 otherwise.
You may remember he gave Polygene an offer they couldn't refuse to begin developing technology to enable an ambitious aerospace project for the government. Firebreak picks up a few years later, and the story is rooted firmly in the culmination of those possibilities alluded to at the end of Chasing Sunsets.
While there are plenty of nods to our previous game in Firebreak, it will stand on its own. If we've done our job, you will not have to have played our first game to be immersed in this one.
As of right now, the chapter stands at 2500 unique renders with a final count approaching 3000--Definitely our most ambitious content release to date by a fair margin.
Before Firebreak launches, however, we are getting very close to a Chasing Sunsets release that is much closer to the level of polish we'd have loved to have at the Chapter 10 release.
In our last dev update, we listed a number of the features, fixes, and improvements that have been added, but today we're happy to reveal that there will also be a "guided mode." that the player can summon to nudge them toward the ending they want to experience.
This is the remastered version we promised at the end of 2025, only the remastered art for Ch0-Ch2 will get patched in at a later date.
Otherwise, with two releases on the near horizon, the excitement (and pressure) is ramping up here at Stone Fox. We're looking forward to getting both of these packages out the door as soon as humanly possible, and we're grateful for your continued support and patience!
