When an NPC is more aware than the player #gamedev #indiedev

I like her.

So the character works 😉

I vote adding a "swing the club at the player's pov to temporarily knock it outta alignment" mechanic for staring too long

It's still in development, but the game will have a first-person mode within your guild, and yes, there will be consequences for your actions with certain NPCs. It will be like if someone hit you while you're using your VR headset. 😂

I will spin my camera so her she will follow till I give her a headache

She's usually the one causing the headaches; she's quite difficult to deal with.

one for one i will spin harder than the carousel and the wheel of faries

If she started saying this next to other NPCs they should say that she must be crazy.

That's almost the purpose of this character, so many will think she's crazy, but she's one of the few characters who knows the game's lore in depth.

imagine how funy it would be if you get too close and she bonk you so hard that it would be a game over

It's still very early in development, but she should be one of the most interactive characters, both for the player and other NPCs. She might steal things or destroy your decorations; depending on how you treat her, she'll be "less" chaotic.

we will be able to headpat her?

This is one of the interactions I "really" plan to do. Although the player will have to accept the consequences. You could lose some fingers.

fingers can grow back

Well, technically the player is someone who's been resurrected; losing a few fingers is nothing compared to that.

But... can you rizz her? She looks cute, if deadly with that mace. The game Peter M. would be making if he wasn't full of it.

Romantic relationships aren't planned in this game; it's more about action, though the story is quite serious in some cases. This particular character is lively and mischievous, but not everyone has such a healthy life.

Aww =( So is this like... Dungeon Keeper, SpellForce... whatever the game Peter M. is making right now or?

It's basically fantasy simulation and administration, inspired by Majesty and Kenshi. I don't know if you've heard of either of these, but they're a good comparison, though with a deeper, almost "Sims"-like interaction system.

What does she notice? @totlmstr and @spaceshark24 fighting over who gets to make off with her, because she has horns and pointy ears (their respective favorites).

Hold up, what the hell is going on here? I just woke up.

I don't know anymore if you're playing my character or if you're really like that...

As long as you don't ruin my account, it's fine by me.

Really pretty artstyle.

@SandPie01 Thanks, it's not like I can do it any better, but in the end I convinced myself that it's my style. 😅

Why are you saying that, it's so nice and easy on the eyes. I would kill for more game that looked like this lol

@SandPie01 Oh thank you, i'm just trying to be modest, i think it look good enough

Your game looks awesome, do you have any that are completed and if so where to purchase them?

I'm sorry, it's still in development, I don't have a demo yet; it will be a while before that happens.

I eagerly await it's completion : )

Thank you!, I will try to do my best.

On the 3rd close-up stare attempt, cut scene of the player POV hit with the bat, world goes dark, wake up to getting married in a full-body cast surrounded by orcs and demon dad. Forced Wedding achievement unlocked. 😂

The only achievement you can actually get with her is "empty pockets and broke." She's supposed to be a pretty greedy and deceitful saleswoman. But ironically, she's honest about her "dishonest" activities So people are voluntarily manipulated by her visual and thematic influence

Too funny. When will it be released?

I can't say for sure yet, it's still in a very early stage. I prefer not to commit to a release date that I might not be able to meet.

Gorgeous girl aside, what are her crimes in the wanted poster? I think I see theft, fraud, and destruction of property. I cannot read the rest.

It's still subject to change, especially the image; I want to give it a more "rustic" and less precise look. But this is the image:

@JacqueKnife I deny any unjust accusation

@sixthorns I would not betray you as long as you keep your distance and since there is no bounty displayed yet.

@sixthorns Well... I can always shapeshift anyway.

@sixthorns I know someone with a particular set of skills. Skills that make them a nightmare for shapeshifters like you.

@sixthorns Aha!, but a dokkaebi doesn't just change shapes.

@sixthorns No monetary incentive like I said but they will be moving like Frankenstein on his monster i.e., chasing to the ends of the earth

Oh my god, this is the effect I really want.

What kind of game is this?

I always define it as Fantasy simulation and administration, something like Kenshi + Majesty, it's a good starting point, with RPG aspects, but with an emphasis on the NPCs.

What's the name of this game so I can find it? I guess it's a Patreon project?

It's a pretty early game; I'm so focused on developing it that I always forget to give it a name.(almost a year😂) I don't have a Patreon, but I do have a Kofi account because tipping is optional. I always try to make my content accessible to everyone.

Got a steam page or gog page I can wishlist on?

Sorry, I don't have a website yet. The project is still in its early stages, and I don't want to create too much hype. It will come later, once I have a name for this game, haha. 🤣

No worries big dawg I will wait. Looks good

Thanks you!

Hot chick!

This just made me think I'd really like a game where there are defined named characters and such, where you are canonically basically a God ruling over them from heavens or such, and you can interact with them in many different (good or bad) ways and they're fully aware of you.

That's why I'm trying to make this game. NPCs are usually given little importance; they only exist to complement the player. Here, they are literally the players; the player is the one who complements them, sees them grow and progress.

She might be aware, but what can she do about it? 😈

That will be the fun part, that it won't always be a simple interaction, depending on whether it could have real consequences, although with her there will always be consequences anyway. 😂

😅

Cute.

If you add an reaction for looking up her skirt, i think that would be pretty cool

…is this some kind of god view fantasy life sim but this oni girl is aware of your attention and meddling? Intriguing and outstanding, you have my attention

Pretty close! But, it's a fantasy world simulation, she is dokkaebi, although she has some visual familiarity with an Oni, is very different in lore and for that reason is more aware than other characters who won't notice when the player observes them.

I don't want to fix her. She's perfect as she is!

That's the point, she's perfect being chaotic

hope it has voice acting

That will depend on my budget.😂 But if I could, I would like to give voice acting to all the characters.

It'd be honestly be really cool if when we keep zooming in she grabs the camera and knocks it back with her club

You have got something big on your hands... The characters may be smol, but the scope and passion in this game is not going to be at all lol excited to see how great this eventually turns out

Thanks, this is just a silly little detail, but when I finish refining the combat I think it will be really cool!

WIFE WIFE WIFE WIFE WIFE AWOOOOOGA jokes aside that is pretty neat

This is the kind of dedication to a game I would love to see more frequently. You have my curiosity. And even my attention.

Thanks!, even so the game still has to be fun to be meaningful, but I like to add little details too, I can't help it.😄

shes so cute ! ! 🥺

And a headache

She's adorable!

the camera should have zoomed in so close that it bonks her in the face

Can I download it?

Sorry!, I don't have a demo yet, it's in very early development.

Wowza. I've been looking for a game that's basically just this. Good to know it's in development. I'm happy

I thought it would be great if the NPCs were the main characters for once, and not just background decorations to be run over by cars.😂 That's why I decided to make this game.

I'm following to keep up with the development of this, you have my interest 👀

Then it's mine now 👀
