Act IX Story Complete
Added 2021-11-28 10:54:33 +0000 UTCAnd with that, the main storyline of Act IX is done. You can find it on Steam's Beta branch; as always, if you don't have a key and would like one, just PM me.
I usually try to avoid cliffhangers, but I wrote myself into this one by accident, and the cliffhanger was the best solution to how to resolve that. Act X will be starting with a boom.
So what's left before the next public release?
Snowdrop found us a Daemon fortress at the end of Act VIII; it'll be an open target for the rest of Book 2, but I figured I should at least write that small story for Act IX. I'm also looking at some of the open Quests/Kingdom Events, and seeing if I should finish up some of them.
Beyond that I have some bug-fixing and logic cleanup to do, but I'm pretty confident I'll get the public build done this week. The Strategy gameplay needs a lot of love, so most of the work is related to that.
So what's next?
Act IX+ will center on the King's Dragon. At this point we've got the Chosen living there, with Xochi and Foxy as tenants. In addition we've got Aoife and Val drinking there regularly, Aino and Foxy hanging out, the Brotherhood using it as their regular hangout, and various other characters passing through. This World Expansion update will focus on telling stories from that, and integrating it across book 2.
I'll do a non-steam build as soon as I fix up the Daemon Fortress mission, and then spend some time fixing up Android.
As always, thanks for the support; I couldn't do this without all of you, and the amazing people on Discord. If you'd like to join, you can grab an invite from this link: https://discord.gg/NQrQrht
