Trying to record a video of my new bossfight cutscene, and my companion decides to steal the show 🤦

Npc's can now like or dislike a speech choice, making them more or less friendly towards you! 😀😡

Finally made my own dialogue-tree editor. 🥳

It even allows me to set stat requirements and custom actions for each option. 😎

The full game will have you finish side quest lines to unlock new starting factions 🧙‍♂️⚔️

Finishing the demo with one of the two starting classes will do for now ⭐️

Clearing dungeon bosses will also reward you with choice, as well as some random extra drops 🤯💍

When finishing a quest or killing a boss, the player can choose between 3 randomly selected rewards.

Every next playthrough the city is regenerated depending on which faction you helped to power 🌆

Each of the 7 factions can rule the island and city 🤯

This is what the city ruled by the Mercenaries of Mohre can look like ⚔️

Depending on which faction rules the island, the city will look different 👀

If the Pothos Pirates rule, a special kind of treatment is allowed and offered on the streets 🥵

Always fun to play around a bit with the dev-tools and spawn a bunch of mobs next to npc's 🙈

Enemies will now turn back around after their attack missed you 🧐

They can also use charged attacks again 😱

Optimized the combat strategies for ranged enemies, so there is a better transition between using a bow or an axe 🏹🪓

With quest-gen completed for now my focus has shifted back to combat optimizations. ⚔️

Finally finished testing the quest line generator 😱

Random mini questlines can now be generated and started in the demo 🥳

The quest generation algorithm can now also send the player to fetch items from dungeons 🦇

Quest line generation work continues. Here is yet another example:

- NPC bumps into you and plants a note
- Player travels and talks to quest giver
- Player is asked to assassinate opposing faction leader

Still working hard on quest generation. Here's a small sample of an investigate -> assassinate quest transition.

Working npc's would not perform their work animation upon reload, and I couldn't figure out why. 🥲

After many hours finally fixed the issue, so behold a bunch of npcs working/praying at church. 🙏
