This looks awesome, Molly! Super excited to see what you guys create next, and keep up the AMAZING work
I am so stoked you are using JSON and LUA. You guys have a sweet little game happening here, I'm looking forward to playing it a lot!
Great update, I'm glad NPC's are going to feel 'alive'! I and gotta say, all the houses you're showing us look so cozy! I'd want to live there
Sweet, I love the hats too, they just look exactly the way I thought they would look like The config files for NPC's are pretty straightforward too which is extra nice, just another awesome update! Good job!
So NPCs can converse, guard, melee attack, do ranged attacks... They can stand there idle, wander, etc. How much time they spend in each state is configurable.
I really enjoy seeing these posts that give a small glimpse into the scripting being used behind the game... Can't really say that I understand everything that I see, but it is refreshing to at least have the opportunity to analyze it. I'm looking forward to seeing a more in-depth working later this year!
Woo looks amazing! I'm so hyped, I'm writing my own launcher and modding client already. (Java for cross platform-ness)
So there are specific responses from NPC's depending on which race the player selects, but is there any difference for the sex of the player?
What a lovely picture! Reminds me about that viking scheme. You know, "come-kill-rob-rape-burn-leave"
Are we going to be able to have a NPC crew aboard our ship Molly? Are we able to recruit NPC help from various worlds and such? If I can't have a character named Spock as my second in command, I maybe a little disappointed. Edit: Also more nuts&bolts in the update = awesome. It lead to questions for me but answered a lot preemptively too.
