Progess since last update:
Added Market Location (1st interation)
Added Herbalist NPC and logic (Herbalist current will walk to gather location and gather plants/herbs).
Added Plants spawns, including mushrooms, garlics, patissons and beets around in the outskirt area (Not optimised).
Added Auto Save system.
Upgraded pathdfinding algorithm for npc, in conjunction upgrade player character movement logic as well.
Sorry about the video been very dark, its recorded when it started trigger the storm weather. (Day night cycle and Weather system is something that will be in the game!). Tried do another recording but its very hard to get a good recording now especially when the game is not optimised yet. And I rather not spend too much time doing the recordings at this stage and rather focus on game itself.
Actually don't want to release this since its not ready. But also don't want to leave it with no progress update post for too long.
Looking at the dates, its already been 2 weeks since progress update 7. So I just wanted to release a progress update report because, beside from the constant bugfixes I want to move into the next Update 9 feature which is to focus on the UI.


For the next update 9, I want to start working on the UI for NPC's stats including:
Current Job Roles: such as Herbalist, Alchemist, Villagers and more to work on in the future such as hunters, guards etc.
Basic stats: such as hunger, rest
Personalities: 16 Personality Type
Special Atttributes: Such as Arrogant, calm, etc.
Memories: Tie in with the Memory system
Equipments & Inventory
Opinion/Attritude: Optinion/Attribude toward other NPCs.
This will form the basis for NPCs logics. What they will do and how they react with the world. Would be very cool once complete, but will probably take some time.
Next update probably have something more nicer to show, hopefully not too long.
Take care not get overwhelm, relax and take a break evey now and then~ Have a good week everyone~
