New patch for Sinathir is out.  Its main focus was the addition of new kid NPC and some basic reactions to player mutations. I also added a basic tutorial.

George is the new NPC added in this patch. Like Helena, he is a kid, just like your player character. They differ from standart NPCs in multiple ways:

• They start weak but get stronger as time passes. All other NPCs are pretty much static in power
• They will follow you right from the start. No need to persuade them
• Talking to them raises your mood more than talking to the adults

Functionality of both George and Helena is very limited at the moment. You can't trade with them, they can't teach you anything and they don't do anything besides follow you around and help in a fight. Helena can heal you for free if you talk to her while she is home, but that's about it.

Other big change is the NPC reaction to your visible mutations. In world of Sinathir, mutants are generaly hated and feared. Some people don't mind them, but most will refuse to talk to you. New NPCs will also appear around the world and try to kill you if you are a mutant.

This is a very basic version of what I want to do with mutation reactions. Right now, selected NPCs will simply not talk to you, unless your relationship with them was already high when you became a mutant. Mutant hunters will also hunt you just because you are a mutant. In the future, they will go after you only if you prove dangerous. I also want to add more functionality to the kobold hideout and add some trainers there because right now, being a mutant will lock you out of some jobs.

Another change is the addition of model for helena. It is still not fully finished and needs some more work, but rendering images and making them useable for the game takes like ten minutes so I decided to add this WIP version into the game anyway.

Last big change is the addition of tutorial.

I didn't initialy add tutorial because I thought it was a waste of time to add it when the game is still changing a lot. I made a manual detailing almost everything that is in the game, but I realised some poeple simply don't read those things at all.

So I added a basic tutorial teaching the bare minimum. It is really simple so I can change it later if I add more features or change already existing ones.
