I recently reached one of my milestones. Creating at least 100 NPC portraits. Each one of these takes on average 2 hours (if I don't get distracted...).
These are the new ones I've added since the last update:
Creating the portraits is one thing... adding the dialogue and NPC to the game is another... The world of Daneth needs farmers and fishmongers and that's what many of these new portraits are. Every farmer or peasant in the game has a unique portrait and dialogue tree. The only exception to this are the disposable town guards.
I've filled out some more of Bainsfield, adding NPCs and furnishings. Below is the town hall.
I have added a quest log to the game and have moved the journal to the same section. I plan on adding both combat logs and NPC conversation logs as well.
Notes have also been added. They function the same as books but are obviously only 1 page.
Chickens are now in the game. Whenever I say the word "chickens" it always brings me back to that episode of GoT...
I updated the old city walls to give them some depth. They don't look so much like cardboard cutouts anymore.
... while the log fort walls of Bainfield now look sharper and a little less phallic...
Transitions between different biomes has been greatly improved.
Ancient ruins tileset added:
Added turned over wagon sprite
Thanks everyone. I am still focusing on content going forward. I plan on engaging outside help from a writer to help with some story direction.
I hope you are all staying safe!
