Hello!
It's been nearly a year since my last update! Thought it's about time to post what's changed...
As you may know, I'm a full time student who has to work to earn a living. Even still, we've been making strong progress Over the past year, we've worked on structural improvements and organization to lay the foundation of this game and prepare it for the modding community that's always looking for something to play with. We believe that A Forest Tail will be easy to mod and alter from the start.
While most of the updates over the last year aren't immediately visible to those who will see the upcoming demo, just know there was a big concern about crashes during save states that is no longer a thought. The worst thing in a game is losing all your progress just as it goes to save at the end of a day. No fear there!
NPC systems, dialogue structures, and quest organization have all been fully fleshed for more stability and expansion. These upgrades are going to support long term goals of A Forest Tail and allow features to be added without creating technical issues later. Such as a follower system that allows you to take most NPCs out of their usual location in order to accompany you on quests or adventures!
So, yes, it has been a while, but progress has been steady and very very positive. Thank you for all your patience and support while the foundation of something amazing comes together!!
More updates on the way!
Oh, for now, a small teaser: 70 special NPCs are planned and each one has a friendship meter and personal quests. Potentially all of them can be followers with each giving a unique buff to you such as a cleric that can revive you once per in game day! Good luck getting her away from the grip of the Church!
Love,
