Chapter 2 Sneak Peek
It's been a while since I last posted here, so I thought I should update you guys on how Chapter 2 is coming along. As of this post, I'd say the chapter is about 70-80% complete, and should be released late March or early April. What's in it? Here's a sneak peek!
As you can see, chapter 2 will introduce the future player ship and primarily take place on the ice planet of Eiskrem (pronouned Es-khrem). Things don't look so good for the Empire there, but can you turn the tide?
As for game features, one of the main things I was thinking about is that there isn't much of an incentive for players to fight the optional battles since they only give crafting materials, which are pretty common place as is. I still firmly believe that the player shouldn't be forced to grind exp in order to progress in the story, but perhaps letting the characters gain some bonus stats by fighting could be an option. The logic would be that Kimi and her party gain battle experience as they fight more enemies, and I think it'd be a good way to let players "level up" and make story battles a bit easier if they so choose. What do you guys think?
That's it for this update! I plan on posting blog updates like this every month or so from now on to keep you guys updated, but I also post shorter updates such as new screenshots on my Twitter @ShenTzuGames. Look forward to Chapter 2!
