The World:

Gameplay:

The game currently features an overland map system that connects distinct scenes (locations) together. NPCs can travel in and out of locations through entry and exit points whether in a scene or in the world map. NPCs have motivations that determine where they will go and behave. (All of this has already been implemented by the time of the gameplay video, except the motivation system which is random chance in that video.) You are able to interact/talk with NPCs both inside a location and in the overland map.

• Player Create
