So since last update, I added a new wrinkle to the dialog/choice system, which was to check character counters.
Which meant I needed character counters.
In this case, the game counts 1 for each delivery that Alex does, so that I can delay particular events in the game until all of the deliveries are complete.
I also added character descriptions and the ability to get to them to the game.
And I did work with ChatGPT to get the inciting incident somewhat locked down.
Mainly, it needed to be the original appears of Lord Malus, the BBEG.
And it has to happen in the town square.
And there needed to be a statue, because reasons.
So I have come up with a similar location feature mechanism similar to the character mechanism.
There's a lot of detail in this stuff.
