Development News: The Historian and His Two-Sentence Epic Tales!
Hi everyone,
This week we continued working on tavern personalities. Two more characters added to the pool of tavern patrons. One is Historian, the other is Retired Captain.
If you buy a meal to Historian, he tells a two sentence epic tale(!) about a long forgotten hero. This gives our hero “Inspired!” major effect for 5 days. “Inspired!” gives +2 to melee and ranged attacks.
These two sentence tales are procedurally generated. Here is an example: “Once there was a supersitious silversmith who has gone to the far end of the world to fight a giant. At the end he was victorious but poor.”
The other character our hero can meet at the tavern is Retired Captain. He wants our hero to buy him a meal. If our hero buys a luxurious meal for 100 coins, he gains “Captain’s Friend” major effect. This effect lasts for 5 days and grants our hero a 50% sea travel discount.
With the Oracle and the Elder Scholar we mentioned last week, there are now 4 new characters at the tavern. We are working on some more for the next update to make the taverns more populated and varied. Thanks for reading :)
May the tides bring you triumph!
