I have just published the first map of the next chapter, expect the rest of chapter 2 to be rolling out in the coming months.

I overestimated the amount of time I had to work on the next chapter this month. Expect map 1 of chapter 2 to drop at the very start of September. I have the majority of it finished, and just struck a hitch getting the last of the writing done. I don't expect this to be a very long delay though.

Amazing series of map, definitely hyped for chapter 2 of this series. You've got an awesome talent for making custom maps. Hopefully Numantian can drop the workshop updates so you have the best assets to work with!

Word on the street is the steam error preventing posting comments on the workshop has been resolved, so....

Wish I could say I'm coming back swinging from hiatus, having dropped the first map of the next chapter on the last day of July, but it did not materialize in time.

I am, however, officially resuming work on Wings of the Phoenix. Expect chapter 2 to start rolling out in August.

Oops, I just realized I never re-edited the description after the most recent update, so a huge chunk of it was missing. Just re-added that information now.

Thanks for giving me that extra wake-up call to realize just how long it has actually been since I reported that bug to begin with. I've implemented a work around so the communicator doesn't crash the game now.

Thanks! Hopefully when the editor update rolls around the bug fixes will be baked in.

I love this series so much and I hope these bugs are soon fixed. Also I hope you an your family are ok in these times.

Chapter 2 is on hiatus on the moment, waiting for some updates to the editor - in particular there are two entities that some of the maps will be reliant on that have been crashing the game when used. A bug that's been around for about two and a half months now. So I can't really progress past those maps until the bug is fixed, which is unfortunate. I'll be preparing material for when I can start moving forward - which will hopefully let me release the maps of chapter 2 on a more consistent schedule once the bug fixes are released.

My work on Survival Plus ate up my development time this month, Chapter two is *likely* to start in August - but has been so far removed from the end of chapter 1 at this point that I may wait for the next editor update to kick it off while making use of new features. If you enjoy the Survival game mode, Survival Plus may hold you over during the wait. Still, I apologize for the delays - and hope to deliver a quality chapter soon.

An error with the steam workshop is preventing anyone from updating or uploading anything right now, so I'll put this here until that's fixed. I've pushed back the start of Chapter 2 to July, as my own play through of the game's campaign has proven more time consuming than I had originally thought. Once that is behind me I'll be able to focus on Chapter 2 (and a stand alone map) though!

I've been putting a lot of work into a stand-alone map. I'd say to expect chapter 2 to begin later in June, probably sometime after the game emerges from Early Access.

The Guide is probably taking the back burner again too. Not sure how much interest there is in it.

Loved it took me two tries but managed to get through :)

There are other survival-like missions planned. But I find myself only leaning on them when I feel I can diverge significantly from the regular game type in some way. Like with Molding Merit's trading system. With my plans for chapter 2, it looks like it will include two such missions, one of which being the Capstone.

And yeah, that moment when you first step off the bridge is one of those times where things just kinda clicked and felt the way I'd wanted it to right away.

For now, I'll get to work on the Guide and then on Chapter 2. Happy hunting.

I was hoping for not yet another tactical mission but it was fun nonetheless. The escape was harsh!

OH YEAH! PLaying it right away!
