The Silent Kingdom development news

Hello, everyone! This is Lucky Cat, the solo dev behind The Silent Kingdom. As always, I'll be making this post in English only to save time, since I want to get back to work.

First of all, a reminder that my plan is to update the game only when both chapter 2 and chapter 3 are complete, instead of updating them separately. At that moment, the game will release out of Early Access in its final state.

As for the current development news, I had set a personal goal to finish chapter 2 during March. Sadly, I underestimated the huge amount of work that required. It didn't help that I had to go off script and add new, necessary scenes that weren't planned (and which caused waves to the next scenes). So, even if I'm working everyday and even losing some sleep, I haven't been able to finish the chapter yet. I'm very sorry.

At least I can share previews of some of the new maps from chapter 2:

Speaking of maps, I initially thought that chapter 1 would be the longest. However, I keep having the feeling that chapter 2 is giving me a lot of work, so I decided to do a map count. Chapter 1 has around 53 maps. Turns out that chapter 2 has more than 60 and still counting.

So, what's left to finish this chapter? I think 3 more maps, a good bunch of scenes to program, and tons of graphics. I have a list of character graphics and avatars I still must draw: the list is 5 pages long and still counting. Even if I want to try finishing everything this month, I don't know if it might be too much work to accomplish that goal. I'll certainly try.

Since I want to work on the pending graphics this month, at the next update I hope I can share the character design for the king of Lectica. Let's see how he turns out!

Thank you for your patience and support, for all your encouraging words and for believing in me all this time. I'll keep doing my best and enjoying the process. See you at the next update!
