Love of Magic Book 2: The War is closing in on story complete. With Act X now done, there's only 12 days of in-game story to go before the book is complete. As always you guys can play it here on the Beta Branch of Book 1 as I develop it. If you haven't had a chance yet do give the game a wishlist, it'll really help it at launch.
In Act X: The Destroyer of hope the story takes a turn for the darker. Much like the Act III/IV inflection point marked the end of the player's relaxing days of fun at the University, the beginning of Act X marks the beginning of a new central theme of the story.
It's also the first time I've tried writing any other characters than MC as a lead, with Katie getting to star in some sequences. She's a lot of fun to write; much darker, more introspective and more moody.
Hope you enjoy the sequence, and that you'll come along for the rest of the ride as we approach the end of Book 2, and the beginning of the final part of the trilogy. The Return.
