0.4 - "The Sound of Progress"

Big patch. Will likely break saves and have bugs - apologies, but it's worth it. Check THIS out!

-0.4- "The Sound of Progress"

Music & Sounds

• composed some songs for morning/afternoon/evening (1 song, different arrangements). will improve these over time.

• upgradable street band that plays the appropriate song

• NPCs who own instruments will join in

• you can use an instrument yourself to play in sync, or control it with your midi controller!

• radio object which plays the same output as the band

• footstep sounds (creative commons 0 for now)

• sounds for grabbing/placing stuff (self-made)

Staff

• three types of staff: porter, cashier, crafter.

• porters carry stuff around - delivery depot to shelves, shelf to shelf, shelf to crafting station, crafting station output to sales, etc.

• cashiers slowly pick up coins off their assigned desk

• crafters will slowly perform the inputs needed to craft whatever recipe is set at their assigned station

• you place a Locker in build mode for each employee you want, then fill it with cash and use the Staff menu in the ledger (tab menu).

• they'll stop working once their locker doesn't have enough cash to cover their wages. they have different speeds which affect their wage.

• this is still a basic implementation. let me know how it goes

Items

• armour pieces in every slot for cloth/leather/metal

• added new jobs, mostly focusing on nighttime (nightwatch, gravedigger, etc)

• rebalanced npc jobs and need requirements (not everything needs 5 now)

• general rebalance of npc needs / price formulas, mostly focused on food. got rid of "repair" tool subcategory, merged its items into building/crafting

• shuffled wholesale stocks around; each vendor has a few categories, and all unlockables of those types end up with them. renamed some vendors

• improved wandering vendor stock generation. he should always have interesting stuff now

• added a well in town from which you can grab water bottles for free

Settings

• you can now access settings from the escape menu

• adjusted graphics presets

Misc

• running speeds up your walk animation

• various optimisation / npc ai improvements

-items now fly onto / from the shelf rather than instantly appearing on the shelf / in your hand
