Beta 2.0 is steadily progressing, but will still be awhile since I'm not only adding a lot more interaction and refinement to existing areas, I'm also adding new features. Some I plan to keep under my hat for now, but here is the confirmed new stuff you can expect to see I am comfortable releasing;
* Noob tutorial: If you're just starting out, I added an NPC that will approach you once you leave the throne room who will offer a brief tutorial on game features. You can accept or decline, and you can always hunt them down for another run through if need be.
* WAY MORE TILESET variety: I decided to browse a ton of blogs and forums as well as put money down on some DLC, and there will be much more variety in tileset decor.
* Emosets: Or, face portraits with emotions. This way, I can write less script like dialogue. Many characters will receive these when and where possible.
* Interactive NPCs: This time, there will be NPCs who do more than say the same stuff over and over. Some will have multitiered dialogue, and some of it is planned to have consequences, so choose your words wisely.
* Revamped crafting!: My old crafting system sucked. My new one can be used from the menu and comes with a list of all recipes and ingredients, no more hunting down recipes. Also, more recipe choices will be available.
