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
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.

Player chooses what to do, enemies choose what to do, and they even have variable rates of attack/defend/flee. Next step will be to actually start dealing damage

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob 
) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Working on battles. A little different than last time, aesthetically, but still the same basic idea
Today's accomplishments include a rather smooth state machine, a functioning opening cutscene, and name input. It's not pretty, but there aren't any bugs
