Update v2.0 (14 November 2019) - Part I:

New Spell Schools and Abilities
Three new spell schools (Corrupted, Earth, Wind) have been added to the game, adding dozens of new spells for you to unleash and titles to unlock! We've also created a six new movement and utility abilities for you!

New Bosses
Five new bosses have been added to the game and boss fights will always occur at the end of a chapter. In addition, defeating a boss will now grant you a choice between three guaranteed unique items!
New Enemies and Improved AI

We've added over 20 new enemies into the game! Enemies have been added to all factions, each using magic from specific schools, and they will use much more challenging abilities and spells.
- Inquisition will now use Fire magic
- Outcasts (formerly bandits) will use Lightning and Wind magic
- Debilor will use Ice and Earth magic
- Corrupted will still use Corrupted magic

Each faction will only drop spells and runes of their associated schools/types, so plan your routes accordingly!

In addition, we also have completely overhauled our enemy AI, giving them more natural movement both in and out of combat. Casters will be more transparent about the spell they are casting and melee fighters will attack and move more realistically. Archers will spawn on battlements and position themselves to best attack. Some enemy factions will even move in formations!

New Chapter Map Markers
Our wonderful artist, Leif, has crafted some really cool map markers for our chapter map, which correspond to the difficulty and faction in the location. Difficulty locations can be risky, but will grant better loot!

New Expanse Mode
We've added a new way to experience Fictorum! This single-chapter Expanse mode of Fictorum is a large, dangerous chapter and is drastically different every time!

Improved Camera and Targeting Reticle
We've listened to your feedback about our third-person camera and have overhauled it to be smoother and perform better across the board. Appropriate channeling spells will even use a targeting reticle and adjust the aiming camera to provide a clearer aiming.\

Starting titles have been improved!
We felt that several of our previous starting titles were derivative, odd, or just didn't work. After plenty of internal and external discussion, many starting titles have been drastically changed! Titles will have permanent passives (some of which are drastic and unique to the title) and will now appear on a starting title tooltip. Additionally, many of the unlock conditions for starting titles have been changed to improve progression and title unlocks will be triggered from prior playthroughs on game load. Lastly, three new unlockable titles have been added to the game, each utilizing one of the new spell schools
