Dev Diary #03
Most games keep NPC's simple, but not us! We wanted to make the immersion into our world as believable as possible, so we gave our NPC's living, breathing decisions that change with every playthrough.
Weddings and funerals were a big part of social life back then, so we made sure to get both events in the game for the player to experience. No nasty cut-scenes to break apart your experience either! We are leaving it entirely up to you on what to do... even if that is proposing at someone else's wedding!
We also wanted to make sure other NPC's could experience the joy of marriage as well. So on your way to the town hall, you'll probably spot a mass of people dropping whatever they were doing just to attend, whether they were in school or working. After all, it is a big event that only happens once, right?
The funeral event was tricky as we always wanted to expand upon our graveyard and create a groundskeeper in charge of burying the dead and hosting funerals. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was one of the first games I played as a kid and I always enjoyed heading over to the graveyard to check out Dampe - the graveyard keeper. Although it would be amazing to turn this into a proper profession for NPC's, we decided to keep the event simple for now, but still very memorable.
Make sure to keep in contact with your friends and loved ones as you never know when their time will be up. However, we still made it possible to be enemies with people, so there will always be that one person who is glad someone died... or who's dressed incorrectly at the funeral itself. You just never know!
There are lots more updates to come so make sure to wishlist the game, join our Discord, and follow us on our socials to see even more!
We can also be found on Kickstarter! If you want to be among the first notified of it launching later this year make sure to follow the campaign!
