An explanation of Townfolk - click to expand


As per the first poll here is the low down on townsfolk and NPCs.

Residents:

Residents are the ordinary day to day people encountered in and around town in game. They will live out their day to day lives in loops decided by the games year, season and day, appearing at certain places, working and offering services or just talking to the player. Alongside this, residents will be involved in certain events throughout the year where their behaviour will be unique and offer something to the player. like a relationship boost if talked to and given gifts on a birthday, The player reaching certain milestones or town events.

Guests:

Exclusive to the Hotel career, guests will arive from out of town to stay at your hotel for a few days. they need to be kept happy by being served food morning and evening, cleaning their rooms and interacting with them. They will wander the town during the day and at the end of their stay they will leave but if interacted with enough they will be added to the NPC pool.

Out of towners:

out of towners are an npc that is not encountered anywhere in the main town of the game. Nor do they have specific events or dialogue. They are random generated upon entry to the city and are usually only encountered once. Though like guests if intereacted with enough they are added to the NPC pool and my crop up later. It will be possible to marry an out of towner with enough effort however and they will move into the town with the player.

spouse:

A spouse is any romancable character that has been married by the player. in doing so they will be disabled in the town database and the spouse NPC will take on their characteristics. They will then attend their own jobs and go about their own buisness but have a number of requestable interations with the player. NPCs can be romanced and married regardless of gender in game.

Pool:

Pool npcs are npcs that have been flagged for repeated use in game. such as regular guests and customers. Out of towners who have been befriended or romanced in the city will also begin to appear as paying customers to the players various buisnesses rather than be deleted when the city generates its next set of npc's

Our latest efforts have been rewriting our scene change code and with that comes some lovely transitions made using a greyscale image and a new shader.

Hi everyone, I wanted to put my project back out there after taking some time off. Fnafkit is a game about creating custom fnaf games with no need for programming. I'm also looking for anyone interested in helping out! https://gamejolt.com/games/TKFNAF/444860

The red sock continues his wandering of the multiverse for an object of great power. Taking on a fellow traveller on his way.

Buttons ver 2- jumpscare Test

Tall walls are all modeled and intergrated into the engine and work seamlessly with the previous two wall styles. actual wall skins for this set are incoming. A new test build featuring these changes will follow up soon.

Asking the big questions today. We won't support changing your characters outfit or gender but you can give our beloved testguy a name. Character customization will come later, as it will take planning to get it as versatile as we want at the moment.

Wall height is being adjusted to accommodate things such as stages and lighting while also giving animatronics more breathing space.

Finally, I've had some time to do some more work on the recode. There is hardly anything to see except for this utilitarian clock which can be swapped to 12 and 24 hours in settings. The lighting again changes through the day too.

I know it has been a while since the last update, but life got in the way. Here we can see how buttons can be customized and given functionality through the event system. More to come as the event system grows.

Character bits! We're currently throwing together the character animation pieces for the new customization system :P
