Part 1 of the inciting incident is complete, although I think I'll need a better lead-in. Right now, it's just talking to the priest about Patches. I think I'm going to rearrange some preceding dialogue so the player is more inclined to go that route. I'll remove previous Patch conversationability so that it's something new to talk about, maybe make a reference to how it increases your inventory capacity 
Then you spend a little bit of time collecting supplies to help people because of a sudden raid 
Part 2 of the incident is going out to fight some raiders (that don't technically exist yet). That'll be interesting, but it will be the push needed for me to finish working on the intros/outros of battles 
Then Part 3 is the aftermath and the setup for the rest of the Prologue 
I think once I get through this inciting incident business, I'll make an actual video of it from the start (after character creation because that's not done) through the incident If nothing else, it will provide posterity if I ever get close to being finished with this thing
Next up
Lots of modeling the last few days. Got some houses made, remade some of my terrain blocks (rebuilt the harbor), and started on the NPC models. Also worked on the battle system and the follower system, now with 1/10th the code but 10x more efficient
With exception of some minor odds and ends, the home interior sheet is finished, which means I can start on all the levels. The next house (level 9) is an old farmhouse, the kind that had a bazillion rooms
Doing some designing of the main village, mostly so I can get some connections in and get the next part of the opening cutscenes roughed in.
