addedNew week - and another devlog! Today we’re testing something that changes how you interact with your character.
addedChatting with Your HeroWe built the first prototype of text-based character control. You can now simply write a message to your hero and they will execute it immediately. Instead of going through menus or clicking different options, you just type what you want them to do. Whether it’s moving somewhere, changing focus, or taking a specific action, you write it - and it happens.
addedHow It FeelsWriting a message makes it feel less like managing a system and more like actually communicating with your character. In a game built around automation and priorities, this adds a more personal layer of interaction. For us, it noticeably increases immersion, but we’re curious what you think!
