As promised, on May 31st, the Second Act of your reign is being released. The key question this time: will you manage to avoid war—and if so, at what cost? Or perhaps you’ll choose to enter the fray and show those arrogant southerners what Valendor men (and ladies!) are made of?
Even though the act is launching today, there’s still plenty of work ahead, and I’m counting on your help. After the release of the First Act, I received tons of valuable feedback on balance, visual effects, and bugs. So, if you’d prefer not to become an accidental beta tester, I recommend waiting about 10–12 days before diving into Act Two.
Now, a few important points I’d like to highlight:
—It’s currently not possible to start directly from Act Two after your character dies on Normal or Death! difficulty levels. Fixing this is a top priority, and I’ll address it soon.
—A new mechanic has been introduced: temporary “servant lockout.” For example, if you send a detective on a distant journey, he becomes temporarily unavailable for other quests. I’ve already found a couple of bugs related to this, but fixing them now would significantly delay the release.
—There are technical conflicts between some quests that I haven’t yet resolved. I expect to fix these within a couple of days.
—As mentioned earlier, I’ll be actively working on game balance adjustments in the coming days, so I’d really appreciate your feedback, suggestions, and comments.
—Huge thanks to everyone for your patience, kind words, and constructive criticism!
And now — the throne is all yours!
