August 24 major update

August 2024: Significant changes made.  Lots of blueprint code has been converted to c++, in order to increase performance. New inventory system has been added allowing for a more dynamic interaction for players with objects. This inventory system is still being developed and can be tested by approaching interactable items; Facing the items will highlight them and a prompt will show, containing the interaction message and name of the item. Players can drag Items back out of their inventory and back onto the ground. Equipping weapons still relies on the old inventory system. The items can be picked up with 'e' key, double clicked once in inventory and once in the player hand. The player can press 'c' to withdraw the sword, and 'c' to sheath it again. Significant changes have been made to the levels, and level design. Several new levels have been added to the game, and the story mode will now begin in the city of Vale, by talking to Nel, Cousin of Nyre. Further developments to the story mode will be made available in the coming update next month. 

Various interaction systems have been added, such as using the bed, interacting with the bar, taking baths, and changing clothes at the wardrobe.  Various menu items, such as the Journal system, have been removed temporarily from the game, as blueprint code created significant CPU wait times, and will be reworked and reintroduced in future updates. Female character models have been updated and the skeletal rigs have been redone entirely, allowing for more physics to be  implemented to various bones on the character bodies. Male character models have gone significant changes. Many new armour pieces have been added. A more robust system for finding and equipping armours is currently in development and will be made available in future updates. 

Still in development:

Character creation will allow players to create their own characters and partake in a sub-story mode.

NPC relationship system will allow players to interact with npc's in various ways depending on relationship score, which can be improved by selecting various dialogue options or completing certain quests. 

Credits, are also being developed and will be made available in the next update.
