Quest Failed: Chapter Two - Dev Log #46

Hiya there, guys!

Gosh, it's been a crazy past week, what with the 'Room' prototype (which will be made public midway through the month for all to play), the April Fools video and the Easter image all being released back-to-back. Truthfully I could have spaced those out better so each had time to shine in their respective spotlights, but I guess that was just the way the end of the month came crashing together.

But, we're back to normal and will settle into the usual schedule of a dev log at least once a week, so I can keep all you wonderful people in the know as Chapter Two continues to come together.

I've teased so many characters, scenes and h-scenes with little in the way of context, but feel I've hardly touched on one of the most important aspects of Chapter Two--the actual story!

Due to the more open nature of Chapter Two and its prominent side-quests, the main story is a little slower to unfold than in Chapter One, as you may have experienced from the demo. Though I try to keep the main story an ever present element and avoid it being thrust to the sidelines for too long with the way the in-game days are handled, where you'll always be counting down to the next story element in-between your free days, be it something such as the Queen's upcoming meeting teased at the end of the demo, or other plot crucial moments.

Speaking of the Queen's meeting, the attached screenshot is taken from there, whereby the Queen is reading a very special report penned by the Super Ultra Royal Spy herself. Let's just say that while Ren's methods are...questionable, you can't argue with her results! I'm not sure if I've ever shown this background either, but this is the command/strategy center, housed deep in the underbelly of the castle. Lots of super serious military planning goes on down here, and poor Matt feels completely out of his depth being thrust into something like this.

And without spoiling too much, the main story of Chapter Two focuses on the continued rampage of our little hooded friend. But now that the Queen has taken note of her evil ways, it's only a matter of time before forces are rallied and an epic battle is underway to put a stop to the necromancer before she ends up consuming the entire country with her undead forces! But will things go smoothly and without a hitch, or will there be many dramatic revelations along the way~?

So to end the dev log, I'll ask you guys the following questions:

Are you excited to see how the story develops? And if so, which characters are you looking forward to seeing more of?

And based on what you know--do you have any predictions in mind for what might happen in Chapter Two?

Excited to hear what you all think! And until the next dev log~
