After a short break from this project, we are so back! This project will truly never die... unless..?

Anyway, I have a lot to discuss, so let's get into it:

Gameplay

Gameplay has actually changed a good bit, requiring me to go in and change a lot of things. First off, I have made the decision to lock Freddy as the first party member. Originally, I was designing the game to work where you could have any character be the party leader, and it would affect dialogue and such. For the sake of getting this game out this decade, as well as my own mental health, I am no longer doing this.

I have also made a slight experimental change to combat. It still works in a turn-based format, but now actions are performed in order. So, rather than selecting your whole party's actions and watching them play out, you select each character's move act it comes up in the turn order. This will make fights much more interactive, though it will require some slight balance adjustments.

Other Progress

I have decided to expand the games world, quite literally in fact. Each era will have a decently large overworld to explore and interact with. Talk to NPCs, explore other places, and maybe find some secrets ;)

Content subject to change

I have also majorly redone a lot of the side quests I had implemented to make them much more fun. I'm trying to make every quest at least a little special, even if some are glorified fetch quests. There are going to be a LOT of quests in this game, and while them being repetitive is inevitable, I am going to try my best to make each somewhat interesting.

That's all I have to say for now. I want to give a brief thank you to everyone who has supported this project. I know I haven't been the best at maintaining and finishing my projects, but I have had so much passion for this project and I really want to see it through to the end. So thank you to everyone who has given me words of support and has given feedback up to this point. It really means a lot!

P.S: Join the FNaFb Gamejolt Discord server where I post updates and discuss the game :)
