Chapter 2 progress

Chapter 2 is progressing well.

I have said I am nearly complete of chapter 2, but there was a lot more work to do.

I am now working on the last dungeon, and there is the final boss battle as well to do.

All the NPCs are already in place, but need to be worked on more too.

Overall, I am close to finish chapter 2.

A lot of bugs and usability improvement were made as well.

Here is a blurred sneak peak:

Feedback for UI and usability

You can play the Demo again, in windows. See if you have more quality of life improvement suggestions.

Performance was improved as well.

If you have any feedback, suggestions, tips, ideas, bug reports, please let me know in the comments or in the community hub discussions.

Thank you,

Ofer.
