Hey everyone!
Thank you for all the downloads to Tales of Octra the past month! I've been working on chapter 2 and updating other parts of the game based off of feedback I've received. First and foremost, chapter 2 the Iron Kingdom of Ferroula has been released with this update! A slight tease to what the lord of Ferroula, Hadrian, had been doing appeared during Galanta's storyline and this chapter will delve further into it, as well as building on the connected storylines. Hope you all enjoy playing through Hadrian's story!
Furthermore, I've made a few polishes to the gameplay. Objectives are a bit more well defined with how I've handled how the game tracks 'boss' enemies, as well as creating a turn counter to create more unique objectives in levels. A well requested (and needed) feature that has been added is ending a units turn via a keybind. Space is now used to end the turn as well as pressing the UI button. Audio has been fixed on the main menu as well, you no longer need to enter settings to trigger the audio update (this was an annoying bug).
A few additional buffs were made to some abilities, most notably the short range and long range arrow having an increase in range and Hector getting a buff to his abilities.
Thank you again for all the downloads and stay tuned for more updates!
