Update on Light Fairytale Episode 2 (September 2020)
Hey guys! Here's a quick update about the current status and plans for episode 2 of my JRPG series Light Fairytale.
I've been focusing on the development of episode 2 since December 2019 and I'm happy to announce that it is now playable from start to finish in term of exploration and events! Including 3 towns and 3 dungeons.
I will now work on the battle part. I've done preliminary work on the 5 boss battles but still need to implement their unique skills. I've also implemented many normal battles but still lacking quite a few.
After that, I'll work on implementing a few new features, then start the finalization / polishing / testing process. That's around the time when I'll launch the Early Access on Steam as I will need testers.
The Early Access should still happen this year. Please wishlist episode 2 to be notified on the release!
Here's a few work-in-progress screenshots. Again, thanks for your support and patience! This is a very ambitious project for a mostly solo effort, I'll hope you'll understand.

Full Release Patch #6: A few fixes!
Full Release version 2020-05-22 changelog:
- Fixed a bug causing the game to get stuck at the elevator event in Kuroko's story. Thanks @Koby! - Much better performance with the custom setting Ui Quality set to High (instead of Very High / Ultra) or when using the global quality preset High or lower. The FPS increase should be major on a system with a low performance GPU and a high resolution display. - Fixed the Anime videos not showing on Linux.
Note: If you have a black screen on Linux please try this command line parameter: -force-vulkan To set this parameter, please right click on the game's icon on Steam > Properties > General > Set Launch Options. Thanks @DarkeoX!
Full Release Patch #5: 1st Anniversary Update!
Full Release version 2020-05-20 changelog:
Battles - Fury is now on the main command menu and can be skipped / activated when needed. Some stats are temporarily +33% when in fury. - Adding an elemental orb to the armor will reduce the damage received from that element. - Merging orbs will now also give access to the base orb. - Added a few more orb combinations using the "Everyone" orb. - Haru's orb sword will now work without an elemental orb. - Weapons elemental damage is now merged with the initial damage - no more weird multi damage animation. - Static stats per character and level - no more randomness in stats when leveling up. - Added many voices in Japanese that triggers in various situations during battles, for both Haru and Kuroko, with subtitles. - A few visual improvements: New lightning orbs GFXs, elemental orbs are now visible on the weapons, etc.
Misc: - Added the battle zones to the completion %. An easy fix is needed to update your global completion: Please load any of your saves, go to the field menu then return to the title screen. - Modified a few dialogues such as the first cutscene with Emiko and the ending cutscenes. - Added subtitles to the OP Anime. If you've completed Haru's story you can watch it again on the title screen > Extras > Anime. - Updated Unity from 2017 to 2019 which have removed the resolution dialog as it's now deprecated. Though you can launch the game with command line parameters if needed: neko.works/upload/650.png - Added a few input alternatives as requested: NumPad5: A.R. Goggles. E: Validate. - Updated both DLCs with a few more art.
And many more minor improvements and fixes!

Hi everyone, quick update about Episode 2 of my turn-based Japanese-style RPG series Light Fairytale.
After the full release of Episode 1 on Steam in May 2019, I've been working on the consoles ports - PlayStation 4 and Xbox One - until the last release in the end of November 2019.
I was only able to focus on Episode 2 since December 2019, though the development is progressing smoothly. I've implemented 2 towns and 1 dungeon, I'm currently working on the 2nd dungeon. I'm planning 3 towns and 3 dungeons overall for this episode which should release on Steam around July 2020.
