Hi,
Integration is now done except for the endgame quest dialogues, I rendered some missing items and figures. Will start testing gameplay tomorrow, writing the missing dialogue as I go along.

Hi,
as I can't stay away from the midjourney AI server I thought I'd as well generate some fairy tale themed images there. ;)
They have the new beta functions up with massive improvements to face generation.
Enjoy.

After working on the game today, I redid the flasks with fragrances to be better distinguishable.
Honestly just did them after finding a "How to make Glitter" blender tutorial on Youtube. ;)

I just finished the wardrobe/dress up mechanics for V0.6. Rewrote the inventory system for npc to handle special items in their "wardrobe".
If you gift npc an outfit, once they accept it, it is in their wardrobe and can be used. Only applies for Nyx so far.
You can send her exploring now into the t...

For the ending of the game I need some nicely painted outdoor backgrounds, so I played around with AI generators. (midjourney discord, which are open for public)

Hi,
here is the release of V0.5.1, which expands on events of V0.5. Meet a new character: Gwynn the Witch.
Playing around a bit with animations...
Once i have some basic understanding of the tools I make a higher rez one. It’s for a white background, so might look a bit weird if you have dark mode on.
Edit: Fixed the clipping, background, crown positioning and frame alignment (couldn't let it go...)
