Tweaked the weapon socket and firing code to be more visually accurate. #gamedev #indiedev

Added projectile base class so you can use EdgeFW to generate new item projectiles(I.e laser bot or grenade) and most of it is taken care of internally. Here's a laser bot. #gamedev #indiedev

Can now pick up items. #gamedev #indiedev - need to tweak the weapon socket so the weapon doesn't clash with the actor.

Added logic to animation blueprint so the soldier looks/aims up and down, not just straight ahead, based on the camera. #gamedev #indiedev

Animation set up is working well. you can walk/run/strafe using a 2D blendspace that is good enough for now. #gamedev #indiedev

Tweaked the conversaion UI. Note that the design side of the UI is a blueprint widget, while the functionality is a C++ class. Which means you can redesign it however you want, and it will work the same. (The EdgeFW is a plugin). #gamedev #indiedev

Added persona name to the conversation ui. #gamedev #indiedev

Added face portait to the conversation system. This is defined in the Persona class, which is very easy to create new personas for new characters. #gamedev #indiedev

Added Persona class, which creates a solid identification for all characters, including name/portrait in chat etc. #gamedev #indiedev

Strange secret NHS Technology? This was peterbury unit, colchester. They never said a word about it, and this was five years ago. No health conditions, just mental health. Is it their 'voices' tech in the flesh? #nhs #voices #mentalhealth

Quests now have begin and end event support. Also going to add end sub quest events. Not mandatory, but could be very useful. #gamedev #indiedev

Quest editor is working. Obviously will add more sub quest types as things progress, but it is working for now.

Started work on the quest editor. Quests consist of one or more sub quests.

Item editor is the next additional editor for the framework. You can of course still edit most things in the inspector. #gamedev #indiedev
