Patreon Build 5 (Patreon)

Patreon code: Dee

Dialogue editor: Alt + E

And here it is! This version introduce the struggles of Hera the black-smith, as well as a bunch of dialogues in two new locations: the Alchemy Shop and the Order Shrine, which dig deeper into the lore.

We also worked on various features, among which:

• Characters are now traveling the city. Although this is still primitive, more advanced behaviours will be added soon to bring life to the city.
• We implemented the money, inventory, quests, experience/level/abilities systems. Even if their interfaces is still in a placeholder state.
• Another notable change is the new cheats options menu, which allow to access some game breaking settings (obviously not recommended).

We might update this build in a few days to include elements we didn't have time to integrate, mainly the world map, a special combat mode for Hera's quest, advanced AI behaviours across the city, and some polishing.

We have big plans for the near future. Next update should be released around the end of July, with the traditional character vote. And then we plan to deliver a big update which will finally start the main story, with all the main game mechanics done by then.

 Anyway, thank you for your support!
