Morningstar: Act II complete

Added 2023-12-12 09:38:19 +0000 UTC

With 0.2.0b I think Morningstar Act II is complete; I'll let people test it a little more before I do the itch.io version, but it's up on Steam to test now.

So what's involved? Act II (Spread Your Wings) extends the main story from day 16 to day 35, leading up to Katie's fight-night. It introduces a number of characters that will become key through the next couple of acts, and advance a number of the key quest-lines in the game.

Snowdrop and Lin's personal questlines also continue to grow, with a big new event for each of them.

Finally I added new recurring activities with both Emily and Katie, and a new activity for the player to do in his bedroom. It also unlocks sparring with Emily at the gym (through story).

I also got around to replacing the Patreon banner, since it's not just Love of Magic getting worked on atm.

So. What's next? Once this is officially out I'm returning to Love of Magic; first to port certain things across from Book 1 to Book 3 (Text-to-Speech support, primarily), then to port all of Book 1's content to the Book 3 engine. It'll be a beast, but hopefully means I'll be able to support rollback, improved elsewhere, and all the other things you've grown used to in Book 3.

After that... Game+ starts, unlocking new dialogs and events for people who start book 1 with an end of book 3 savegame. Should be fun :)
