Content

Heya everyone,

I've dedicated theses last days to create a lot of content for the systems I've created and enhanced for this update.

First, I created about 30 more achievements to fill up that board a little bit. It's always a nice little addition, and as I said, now that the framework is ready, it's quite easy for me to create as much as I need. A lot of images are placeholders for now - That's the only real limiting factor .

Second, I wrote a lot of dialogs for the new event-reacting system. I've finally managed to do something I've wanted to : random reactions. This mean you won't get every time the same line from any NPC, and that's a pretty big thing. It was pretty tricky to implement but now it work well.

To save a little bit of time and sanity, I divided the NPC into two groups : Named ones and unammed ones. The named, important NPC will get (or already got - I did some of them) custom, uniques dialogs tailored to their personnality, while still taking from a random,unique to their own, pool of about 5 to 10 lines of dialogs.

The unnammed NPCs, for now at least, will all get theirs lines from the same, common pool of about 10 to 15 lines per event. I hope this won't get too repetitive, but I just don't have the time to custom-craft as much lines for all the NPCs for now.

With all of that done, I'm finally ready to move to the side content.

As for the update, thank you all for having participated on the latest poll. I'm getting a better idea of what you all want. So, here's the deal. Given that a minority, but still significant number of you want an update pretty soon, I'm gonna release in the next few days a partial update.

The catch is that it will not be an "official" update. I'll playtest it of course, but don't expect it to be bug free, since it will still be kinda work-in-progress. Also, I won't provide any usual support for this release, like hotfixes and correctives builds, so I can spend the time working on the definitive release. Of course, bugs you'll find will get adressed.

I think this way, peoples who want a quick release will get satisified and it won't cost me additionnal time, so I can focus on the big update. It will also give me some valuable feedback on what's already in.

That's it for today ! Gonna wraps things up and release it probably before the end of the week. Until then, see ya !
