Video Dev Log #5 | Messaging & File (Save/Load) System

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Video Developer Log #5 has just been uploaded to Youtube. This log focuses on the Messaging (Dialogue) System and the File (Save/Load) System.

• NPCs now say something when you first initiate dialogue with them.
  
• Typing sound effect will play while dialogue is being printed.
  
• The player will always have 4 options in dialogue; unused options will be grayed out.
  
• The player will never manually save; everything the player does (go to another map, open the character menu, etc.) will automatically save to a single save space chosen at character creation. (Think Ironman Mode)
• There are a total of 4 save slots meaning you can have up to 4 different characters concurrently playing.
  
• Meta Progression: We now have a global currency that can be accessed by all 4 saved characters across all save locations.
  
• Permadeath: When the player dies, their spirit will be transported to The Nothing where they can choose to leave with the Creator to Cerulean effectively ending their game OR they can attempt to battle their way out of The Nothing and be reunited with their body in the physical realm to continue their adventures. If the player dies in The Nothing, their soul will forever be trapped and tormented in The Abyss effectively ending their game.
