General progress report.
🕑 Added 2017-10-12 19:11:22 +0000 UTC First, just want to let everyone know that there should be a new build of Wanton Cove coming out some time later today. I'm guessing between 2-6 hours from the time of this post.Now, on to Inheritance related news.
-Greyelf finished up the NPC mechanics the other day and I completely missed it! What this means is that we can now start adding interactive scenes to the game!
-Finished rewriting the code for two interactive scenes today. Will be adding them to the game in a little bit in the hopes of trying them out to make sure things seem to be working, then if so, I'll try to get one or two more added.
-TheMadExile has been busy all day with restructuring the item system, and teaching me how to make use of all the new NPC related code so it can be used inside of the game. I won't claim to know how any of it works, but its similar enough to a couple of things I've done in the past that I can at least understand it well enough to use it.
-One of our artists presented an inked version of the image of Anna for the scene where she is holding the letter during the intro. I asked for a couple of minor changes, but otherwise it looks great.

Now, you might all be wondering what this means for progress on Inheritance. Well, with the ability to add interactive scenes to the game now, there's no reason that we can't start making regular releases. I hope to start alternating releases between Wanton Cove and Inheritance by the end of the month. (You all have no idea how long I've been wanting to say that!)
If all goes according to plan, we will have the first 3 interactive scenes in the game, along with a sleep option, shower function, and a very basic Cheat Menu when we make our next release of the game.
*The Sleep, Shower and Mealtime, mechanics should all work very similarly to the Wait function that is already in the game. I suspect these won't be hard to add. There are quite a few scenes written between the three functions that will appear with them if we're able to get them into the game on time. If for any reason they take longer, I'll make an effort to get an extra interactive scene or two into the game instead. :D
And now you guys know almost as much as I do! Will be making posts this evening to release the next build of Wanton Cove!

Its nice to see such massive progress on Inheritance in such a short time. I still can't believe you managed to get the guy who made sugarcube working on your game, talk about crazy. Looking forward to trying out a build with some proper content.
