r20.35 WIP Released
Slowly getting more systems in place for chapter 6. This build contains:
Roughing out several NPCs for chapter 6, namely Swick & Hanako. No dialogue for them yet though (expect lots of “COULD NOT LOAD TEXT” messages!).
Added a warning not to overwrite save games from stable builds with save games from WIP builds.
The beginnings of the ‘Ride an NPC’ system:
You can now mount & dismount our main Dinoian NPC, Hanako. Head to the north of Haven and talk with Swick, then you’ll be able to mount Hanako in the room next door.
You can ride her in any of the Underworld areas, but not in overworld areas like Mulberry.
Still needs flavor text, as well as all the planned actions / scenes Hanako will do as you travel together.
It does not work with the save system yet.
Standing on the hot sand of the desert areas will now damage you unless you’re either riding Hanako or are a Dinoian yourself.
64 character password support.
Fix for room tags not being loaded during load from save file — this manifested as sometimes respawning in the wrong place after loading from a save file (a fresh start worked okay).
