I've been generally quite quiet in terms of news lately, so here's the latest updates for Ender Story: Chapter 2.
First things first, we have all of the enemies and their attacks in the game. It's a pretty significant update and it was what we spent the most time on. I was largely holding us back because I didn't have time due to work and other personal commitments to finish a lot of them. That's all done now and good to go, so here's a screenshot of some of the tougher enemies later in the game.
Of course, this includes the bosses too. The bosses in the game are a lot more numerous than the ones in Chapter 1...well, the one in Chapter 1. There are nine boss fights in the game, five of which are mandatory and the others are from optional content and side quests. That doesn't mean there's only nine bosses, however, as a couple of the boss fights feature multiple tough enemies that work in sync with each other to make them even more challenging than a single foe. One of the toughest fights will be against Arc, Rufus (Rufia's brother) and Magicog. They aspire to conquer the Desert Arena under Arc's leadership so once you've worked your way up the arena then you'll have to face off against them.
As for the quests themselves? All of the main quests are implmented and just over half of the side quests. There should be another update coming within the next few days with the last of the side quests outside of the Desert Arena. It's a little trickier so it'll be one of our next steps to work out properly. Similar to Chapter 1, you can say and do different things in order to have different quest outcomes. This may result in different rewards, dialogue or even responses from your allies if you bring them on these quests.
As you can probably see from the screenshot above, you're no longer limited to playing as just Erion on the overworld. Whoever is in your first party slot is the character that you'll get to walk around as. It's a minor feature, but we liked the idea. It gives some very minor dialogue differences too, such as determining who will mention certain doors are locked and other things like that.
In my next update, which should hopefully be in a week or two, I'll have even bigger news about the series which I think will only make the potential for future chapters even bigger. Keep an eye out here.

Sweet! Glad to hear some news from you ^.^
This is one of few games I'm looking forward too. You know, for my dosage of RPG goodness.
Keep up the good work!

Glad you're looking forward to it, very pleased to hear it! We've actually got another Chapter 1 surprise coming very shortly alongside Chapter 2. Keep an eye out for that too.
