While Book 1 is more or less complete now, I've started work on Book 2. We're on Day 129 / 134, with only two main date-line events left before the finale. I'm also busily testing things, fixing up new systems and adding content.
Today's update changed a couple of things. If you are on the Beta branch, you can now access the content as it's being developed. Once Act VII is complete, I'll push it live for everyone that's purchased Book 1, and start working on Act VIII. At the end of Book 2 I'll publish that as it's own app, for anyone that wants the new achievements, community items etc (I can't add more of those to the Book 1 app), but the core of Book 2's content will remain free for anyone who purchased Book 1.
There's quite a few new systems at work in Book 2; here's one of the major one, the new Kingdom Events. Over the next 5-6 acts the game will continue to add content, in the same way Act VI changed content that could be accessed across all of Book 1; the goal is that by the final act of Book 2 it will have filled the world with experiences and things to explore.
So what else is going on? There's a push towards localization, and work is now ongoing on both Russian and German translations of book 1. There's obviously a LOT of text, so the volunteers working on it are slowly chewing their way through. Some of the early art also got a tuning pass.
And that's it for now; if you DO enable the beta-branch, be aware that it's still raw. I've got another 3-4 weeks worth of bug-squashing and tuning before it's ready for a real release. If you're interested in testing, I'd recommend heading over to Discord (https://discord.gg/NQrQrht), since that's where the testing effort is being centralized.
Thanks, and hope to have Act VII in your hands before the end of March!
