Chronicles of Eptinia Act II Update

[FallenStar]

Hello everyone! I wanted to share a quick update on how things are progressing.
Act II is in development, and I'm excited to give you a look at what's coming next.

Act II Chapters​

Act II will include: 5 new chapters
Titles will be revealed as I begin my work on them.
Chapter 6 The Bloom Beyond (work in progress)
Chapter 7
Chapter 8
Chapter 9
Chapter 10

"What will Act II be about?"
Act II builds directly on the consequences of Act I. As hinted in the Wardogs interlude, a lot has changed across the continent, and those events didn't happen quietly.
Act II follows the fallout of everything that unfolded in the Ravaged Realms such as the political shifts, the fractures between factions, and the new threats rising in the background.
In short, the choices and chaos of Act I have left a mark on Eptinia and Act II is where those consequences start to take shape in a much bigger way.

"Why there's no quick patch right now?"​

Version 1.0 launched in a pretty stable state overall, aside from the Commander's Chest crash, there weren't many major issues.
Because of that, I don't need to push a quickfix, which actually works out well since it gives me more time to focus fully on the next big update.
That update will include Act II and a set of improvements to Act I.

"Act I improvements coming with Act II?"​

Yes!
Here's what I'm planning to polish:
Tutorial updates for Chapters 1 and 2: clearer, easier to read, and less intrusive;
Terrain and ramp adjustments in Chapter 5;
A full revamp of the Commander's Posts system!
(I want to keep the core idea of letting players adjust troop distribution across the map, but I also want it to feel smoother and less repetitive. The current system forces the Commander to walk to each post, which can get tedious.
The new plan is to add a single building or location that the player can access at any time to manage troop distribution more easily.Also, the Command Post in Chapter 5 will no longer disappear after Vespera joins in phase 3);

Thank you!​

Thanks so much for playing CoE and supporting the project. Your feedback and enthusiasm help shape every update!
