 Version 1.2 Changelist: 

• Placeholder footstep sounds.  They were free on the marketplace and I wanted to see what the process for hooking them up was.  
• Slime girl.  First pass on her assets.  She has basic functionality but no combat or scene animations.  
• 3 new outfits.  There's two sets of bandit armor and a tavern keeper outfit.  I'm testing out cloth solutions with these armor sets.  Bandit armor 1 has a dynamic cloth sim applied to it but there are a few issues with it.  Bandit armor 2 the loincloth is static right now and I want to test dynamic joint chains which means a quick rigging pass.  The same with the tavern keeper apron is static until I resolve how I want to handle cloth.  
• Combat I'm trying to slow down the pace of combat just a little.  When a character has a weapon ready their movement speed will slow down a little.  I also lowered the damage from melee strikes it should take 7 or 8 melee hits to knock someone down.  Then I wanted to differentiate the difference between the knockdown state and the ragdoll state more.  Now after a character is knocked down it will take 4 melee hits to make them ragdoll and completely inactive.  Once this gets a bit more finalized I'll add in hit reactions and fx, right now it's difficult to tell if the melee hits are landing on a knocked down opponent.  
• AI perception has been updated to included hearing events.  AI will now hear other characters in a small radius around them.  The player will make noise when they are running or walking but they can sneak (ctrl key to toggle) and remain unheard.  The sneak skill, speed, animations, will all be updated in the future this is just the initial functionality pass.
• Pickpocketing is also roughly implemented.  While the player is sneaking they can access other character inventories.  Skill and detection checks will come in a future update but for now the player will always be successful while pickpocketing.  
• Starting a dialogue with a character will now pause their AI so they won't keep walking while in a conversation.  They will also turn to face the player and after dialogue is finished go back to what they were doing.  
• The trading UI can also be opened through a placeholder dialogue.  It should open the player and NPC inventories and allow the player to trade items back and forth.  The next step is to add gold values to objects and then add or subtract gold when trading items.  
• Lots of little environment updates and assets.  Did an LOD pass for most existing assets and updated the lighting.  Should bring the framerate back up a bit.
