Change Log

• Scripting system basically complete
• Character/Inventory screen much improved: wield weapons, wear/remove clothing, pickup/drop items, change hair
• Hotbar [1-9] - assignable in Inventory UI
• Context menu [RMB] in various UIs
• NPCs aggro when hit
• Player death and Game Over menu
• Title screen artwork and minimal 3D scene for fast loading
• Arena Mode for quick tests & combat/feeding practice
• Turnbased Mode restored and slightly less incomplete
• Blood graphics (basic placeholder)
• Status effects: speed, bleeding, knockout
• Settings overhaul
• Key mapping
• Vampire Lore simulation settings
• Sunburn (optional)
• Blood regeneration during/after feeding (optional)
• Save/load objects in world and inventories
• Various other graphical fixes & improvements
• Male playable character (bare-bones last minute addition)

With that, core gameplay systems are essentially complete. Next, I’ll turn my attention to content (characters, quests, dialogue, art/models, etc) while still developing the engine and game mechanics at a slower pace.
