Greetings, Paul Bello here with another update. This time, it’s not a very big one. I got a bit distracted this week and didn’t release as many videos as I had planned. I was also occupied with client work to ensure a steady income. However, I appreciate the support from my three patrons. Every little bit helps.
Now, let’s talk about what I’ve been working on. I have developed a new NPC manager. Initially, I had a difficult time dealing with NPCs when I first started. I only focused on getting one NPC up and running. But now, I want to have multiple NPCs in the game. If there are more than one NPC within range, the game will prompt the player to choose who they want to chat with. While I won’t implement the option to chat with both NPCs in this pre-alpha version, it might be a feature in the future.
You can now chat with the NPC, and I have used the same sprite for both male and female NPCs for testing purposes. It seems to be working well, except for a bug where the previous conversation is displayed. I will fix this bug soon.
In addition to the NPC manager, I have made some changes related to leveling up. The skills and attributes of the player character will now increase based on their stats. This will add more depth to the gameplay.
I want to assure you that I am committed to this game. Despite the challenges, such as balancing client work and game development, I will continue working on it. I appreciate all the support I have received so far, and I will provide another update as soon as possible.
Thank you and goodbye!
