Sinathir 0.42 - Finishing dialogue topics


This is technicaly a first patch out of many, but I decided to release it as a major update to make version numbers clear.

I added all missing dialogue options for Billy and Suong. Suong in particular has different dialogue depending on how far into the game you are. As I said, this is just a first update out of many. I would like to ask you to

please report any dialogue options I missed, crashes, typos and anything else you find.

You can report it here or in the bug report section. So. How will the future versions look?

Stage 1 - Filling out missing dialogue

I will be adding all existing dialogue options to all major NPCs. Minor NPCs like the bridge guard will also get some topics, but not all of them. I will be releasing new version for every 1-2 NPCs I finish. And by all dialogue topics, I mean ALL of them. You will be able to ask Mr. White about the "Picking potatoes" quest for Billy if you really want to. Once all dialogue gets added, I will move to stage two.

Stage 2 - Adding new topics

There are quite a few topics that are missing in the game. For example, you can ask only about Suong and Billy, but no other NPC.

At this stage, I will be adding all dialogue options that are obviously missing.

Stage 3 - Quest window and general polish

At this stage, all dialogue options needed right now will be in the game. I will now wait a week or two for any bug reports to show up (And to take a break from writing all the dialogue) and in the meantime, I will make new screen for getting quests. The current system is hard to maintain and add to and doesn't allow me to let player take more than one quest at a time from a single NPC.

And that should be all for version 0.42. Once all dialogue is finished, I will start working on the next version, which will add one new major faction. 

If things go acording to plan, you can expect new versions adding missing or new dialogue with roughly every one to two weeks. I will talk more about the faction update later.

Changelog:

  • Added missing dialogue options for Billy and Suong
