We finally accomplished Playtesting this week. This generated 68 issues/tasks of which 20 are critical to resolve before we can have anyone play it. Maybe it’s just me, but being able to find a quest item in a dungeon seems pretty important to the whole experience. :-)

In this update I talk through how the game generates quests, using existing people and monsters going about their business in the world, into an escalating quest chain. I then show behind the scenes how we generate the quest description for the NPC to speak to the player.

Today I share features of the upcoming Build 12 and then demo some of the dungeon experience. We start gameplay testing of the dungeons on Monday!

This week we really dive behind the scenes and show how we use Unity and C# to procedurally turn an empty 3D box into a decorated thematic dungeon room, with items, wall hangings, and stacking items.
