You don't see too many games that include just regular NPCs as guest characters in a party, so I wanted to do something a little different!

As an example, one of these groups are shopkeepers from New Woodbury. Another has Warren, the drunken NPC you made YEARS ago!

(also, sorry for all the map menu posts lately, I promise there will be more location and cutscenes shown soon!)

Note this feature is VERY glitchy, and makes the game crash in the Mail menu and certain room descriptions. I'm still trying to figure out why. Warnings will be placed in the setting toggle.

I do not recommend turning on the switch unless you have saved your game beforehand!

Thank you so much! It definitely took a long time to get here but I'm so glad I've made improvements over the years. First I switched from the old "Item Obtained" textbox message to the popup you see there, then made different chests to visually show the item type you're obtaining, and now this! 😁

I absolutely LOVE the shattered glass. The slight offset of the image to reflect the fractures is SUCH a good attention to detail!

I think that's the one I'm going for, thanks to everyone's suggestions, yours kind of solidifies that :) one person liked the blue-green bits so I'll probably have a separate menu that focuses on that color so it's not lost.

Warm chocolate bar colors it shall be!

That seems to be the way it's looking it'll go :P and yeah, come to think of it, I've seen more brown/red-themed restaraunt menus than blue :P

Speaking of studies, reds and oranges were found to make people hungrier, right? So that makes sense!

I'm an absolute sucker for blues and greens, I have to admit!

Got it, thanks for the feedback! I've been stuck on this for ages ><

That would probably help, huh? :P

Here's in-game with various information bits filled out for context.
