Was used for an old novetus version as was added in as an easter egg

So, this means the following:

FIREFIGHT RELOADED's upcoming CODEX will have the designation Z1-C1, as this is the first released story in terms of canon.

The Novetus item, "Tales of the Spheres", will be Z2-C2.

a world between three will be Z3-A1.

There are multiple definitions for these project identifiers.

A - Album
S - Serial, written story.
G - Game, reserved for the unannounced project
C - Connections/cameo, used to specify the connection between the ZIOCRONICA project and a project separate from it that are connected in some form.

Then, the second part is the project identifier and the number relative to how many of the related projects there are. For example, the 10th album release would be known as A10.
November 3, 2025 at 7:00 PM
To identify each release, there will be an ID system for each release in the format below:

Z#-[A-Z]#

Z means ZIOCRONICA, and specifies the project number and its order in the canon. For example, a world between three would be known as Z3.

Mods will still be maintained (such as FIREFIGHT RELOADED, which has an update in development that was paused due to Quiver development), however I plan on focusing on a new IP sometime in the near future.

I have stated in some Discord servers that I was also interested in making a Nerf FPS, but that won't be done as I plan for Quiver Fortress and SURVIVOR II to be my final 2 new source engine mods for the foreseeable future.

I'm more confident in my programming abilities now than I was in the past, and so I feel like I'll be able to finally finish something that should have been done to begin with.
October 27, 2025 at 6:54 PM
It will be on the new Source SDK 64 bit version (specifically the BDS BASE fork I've used for Quiver Fortress) and I plan on recreating virtually every part of the original arcade game from scratch.
October 27, 2025 at 6:54 PM
The original SURVIVOR mod released in a virtually unfinished state and had ambitions that I wasn't able to fulfill due to my focus on FIREFIGHT RELOADED and other projects. However, I plan on finishing SURVIVOR, for real this time.

NEW PROJECTS

A while back on ModDB I stated that I'm interested in making a sequel to one of my projects that I've archived. That sequel will be SURVIVOR II, a remake of a remake of Half-Life 2 Survivor Ver 2.0. I have a reason for doing this.

I should also state that this wasn't caused by any external events. This was my original decision that was done without any external influence.
October 27, 2025 at 6:54 PM
The project has caused so much unneeded stress over the last few months that I felt it would be healthier to shelve it and come back to it later. I'm not done with modding, however.

Update: there will be no teaser this Halloween, read this thread for more updates:

Small update thread:

Unfortunately, there won't be a Quiver Fortress teaser this Halloween as previously stated as I realized I need more time to get the mod to a more finalized state. The vision for the mod changed halfway through development to be more of a tribute to TF as a whole rather than-

long development and delays. I've been dealing with a job and school, so I have limited free time I can put towards my projects.

Quiver Fortress is expected to release around 2026 at the latest.
October 22, 2025 at 5:52 PM
a merging between TF2 and QTF/TFC as originally envisioned.This means I want to consider ideas from TF2's various development ideas, which includes ideas from Valve's Team Fortress all the way to TF2, and post release ideas.

I hope I can unveil SOMETHING soon at some point. I apologize for the-

By 3rd parties, I mean payment processors and those lobbying them. Payment processors should process payments, not restrict what should and shouldn't be sold.

Don't be angry at itch for them being forced to do this, be angry at the oppressors.
