addedAlthough the first quarter of each new year always feels like a blur of both personal and business tax return preparation work, we’ve still managed to push on and complete another major pillar of the game-NPCs!
changedAlthough there've been a few of them in the game in some capacity for quite some time, they were never really presented properly or polished up to an appropriate standard.
addedWith this in mind, we’ve spent the past couple of months working on adding animations, creating and implementing a proper dialogue/conversation system, fleshing out and improving character dialog, fixing and improving interaction mechanics, and generally just trying to make them feel more like they’re part of the game and it’s world.
addedTrying to also figure out a dialogue system that also works well in local MP was quite a challenge, but overall we’re really happy with how everything turned out. We feel like they add a nice layer of texture to the game that really helps to capture its inherent silliness, while also fleshing out the game’s underlying story and narrative a little more.
