Showing off the new conversation engine. You can build up topics as you talk to someone, a bit like in Ultima 7. This took a bit of work to get right, but it's an integral part of gameplay. This is coming along nicely, and the next thing to add will be actual combat. That's going to need some monster sprites and some notion of "equipment", of course, so it'll be a little while before it's properly in.

Sestel Greenstar came out of a character-design project I set myself a little while ago. If you need a sample character to test conversations out with, why not a six-legged pink unicorn-taur sort of person? Good excuse to do some teensy pixel art.
