xChimerical Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) I figured I'd share this whilst waiting for a town to generate.  The water on the giant lake on the right has a cold temperature flux further up than most of the land around it, so you can see that a sheet of ice has expanded into the lake :D.  Excuse the buggy pink marshland generating mid-lake.   Edit;  @Kem  Edited September 7, 2016 by Azkanan Rather than double post.

Kem Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 3 hours ago, Azkanan said:  That's true - that was an oversight on my part. A mechanic in the game that I'd like to get in, but not sure how I would just yet, is that you can give fake names and be recognised by face to those names and vice versa. It'd mean you could call yourself "Jimmy Hayley", go on a murdering spree, be witnessed to that end and have a bounty put out on that name. Change your appearance up, move far away and you've got a semi-good chance of getting away with it.  I guess when you enter a town, you can have a character's information copied into your relations class, or your list of people you know and their details, but have their name swapped out, but their Character ID stored. Thereafter they're linked and you can build a relationship with them, "importing" their information from the game's record of the subject into the player's record of the subject as you learn about them.  +1 Kem.  That's awesome. How would it work if say, you told one person your name was Dave, but another person your name was Fred and you were in a group-dialogue with them both and they addressed you differently? Would you get some negative trust event where both sides now distrust you because of it?  Haha, that map gen is sick. I actually thought it was scotland until I saw the big grey phallic lookin' landmass to the right of it. That means your land generation is on point if it resembles a real place, lol.

Kem Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 You mentioned in your opening post that the game is single-player, but that the engine can be diversely used- will there ever be a potential MUD version of this towards the end, or maybe as a separate project? I'm aware there's demand out there for really comprehensive graphical MUDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xChimerical Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Dialogue Editor is coming nicely.

xChimerical Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Just a quick run-through to the new Dialogue Layout. It's successfully pulling the character Instigator and Recipient of conversation!     Char Creation  Game WorldDynamically generated worlds!  Found SettlementThe blue dots are settlements. These are dynamically generated throughout time as NPCs settle new places.  Cleared Land  Here, we can see that the settlement has recently cleared some land. There is always a lot of Wilderness, which is used for expansion.  No Known Locals  Conversation The lower box is for options, the top for the log of chat as it continues. Looking to use a Radar Graph to display the relations between people.     Vus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xChimerical Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 @Vus thanks man! It's pretty much the one thing I've been looking forward to the entire game.

xChimerical Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Traits can now affect a person's disposition to other persons.  Some examples      Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChimerical Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Okay so the AI is now able to receive, gauge and reply to dialogue reactively. They balance their disposition against you and reply according to their personality. Aggressive, quiet, etc. Â They may not reply if they don't like you enough. Their name is also hidden till they give it to you - and yours is hidden to them, unless you give it to them. As a sub-requirement of this, too, NPCs/Actors can now learn about the world's locations on a basic level. Ie, if they've been to that location, they'll be able to tell you about it. I need to further refine this to specific details of the world, though, such as resources, places, etc. Â Zetasis and JimineyWhiskers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimineyWhiskers Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 That's a pretty interesting feature, having the names hidden. I like that a lot actually - it encourages dialogue with NPC's. xChimerical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xChimerical Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 The AI can now call upon their memory of events. When passed to somebody, they're added to the memory bank of the person they are telling about it. Â Next up; 1. Filter events by "Recent" when requested as such. 2. Add "Categories" to events. This allows for greater filtration between interesting/mundane events. 3. Add a chat option for the player that leads to sub-menus for spreading information. Â After that, I need to make it so the options can actually make things happen. Combat, kidnapping, etc. Â Still... progress. Â Vus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChimerical Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 The AI now filters messages by recent/mundane/about me/about the player! Categories are in! The player can now tell the AI about things - and it even adds different options depending on if there is a mutual person. ie. "I want to tell you something... [next page] ... about your wife..." Â Â I'm considering doing a release so I can get some feedback on bugs and suggestions - anybody interested? Zetasis and Mcadams 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetasis Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'll be sure to give it a shot myself. Seems like it would be a fun and interesting game. I can't wait to see what kind of mischief I can get into. xChimerical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to see what kind of mischief I can get into.  There's not much content, as in, even to work properly, but that's fixable by making some text files in the right folders. All/Most content is text file driven, so it's easy to plug in and out different types of items, resources, food, creatures, etc. Zetasis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChimerical Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 PROJECT KEIRA PLEASE ENJOY RESPONSIBLY  DOWNLOAD HERE  Please report any bugs found, as there will be many. This game is very early release, as you'll see as there is very little user interface graphics or content in place.  Please feel free to change and create files in the "Data" and "Graphics" sub-folder, which will allow you to create content in-game, such as items, events, new sentient races and creatures.  You can move around the map using the numpad directional keys.
