May Update 2

Hi! As promised, there's a video update this time, showing off the changes to Questions and Secrets

This is my first time recording my voice for one of these videos so I hope it comes across well. It makes me a little nervous!

I spoke a little bit about how Gossip Questions worked last time. Previously, each NPC had an exclusive list of conversation topics you could ask them about, and which could be locked and unlocked based on special criteria. Now, instead players acquire Questions which can be posed to multiple NPCs, with varying results, and there's a special menu added to show you which Questions you've acquired. I'm hoping it feels as if you're peeling away layers of mystery as you investigate and raise Questions about what's going on, then use those to progress.

The video shows off how this works in more detail, I hope it's all clear. If you've got any feedback on the video please let me know.

With this I've completed the various chains of questions necessary to complete the scenario. My next task is going to be making the maps for the scenario and filling in a lot of the gaps in the story. Mapping and eventing fun!

I'd like to put out an updated demo by the end of June. I don't think I'll be able to fit in absolutely everything I have in mind by then, but I think there'll be enough to get going and get some feedback.

Thanks for reading!
