It's been a while since I made a proper update. I've been stuck in a refactoring loop, iterating on how I want procedural generation to work... I also took the plunge and am finally updating my game to Godot 4.

A new sun is rising, and Legends of Rahnok is seeing some new light.

My glitchy NPC behaviors are coming along nicely! If an NPC witnesses you kill their enemy, you earn their respect. If you get attacked by someone they respect less than you, they will come to your aid. Emergent game play here we go! 🙃

Been too long since posting an update... So here I am getting sidetracked from animating characters to completely overhauling the over world environment and level generation...

I plan to have little to no voice acting in Legends of Rahnok (perhaps some Age of Empires style grunts) so making sure to have enough animations to encompasses all possible NPC reactions. Have I forgotten something?

Performance holding up okay with ~24 enemies patrolling a scene 👌 more than I need for the game play I have in mind but nice to know I can have 10 vs 10 battles if I wanted! Can't wait to get my human character in to test a battle in the streets! ⚔️

Implemented a Thief inspired light indicator to help players know when they are in darkness, dim light, or bright light. 💡 Bottom center of screen :)

Going for an even crunchier look by upping the dithering and reducing the colors. Should I go even crunchier 😆🍪

Stealth game play in Legends of Rahnok coming along nicely. Players will need to be mindful of light sources, noisy terrain, and err... how strong their body odor is... 🥷💩
