Yeah it's not at all a bad idea and it's probably time I had a look at a couple of those things. Most of the code for NPC movement and barks is already there, just needs to be combined into one "AI" that switches between states. Probably won't make it in this mini release, but perhaps maybe in the one after!
Fortunately, as long as you don't need it to counteract the player or stand up to real scrutiny, a switch with a randomizer usually works fine.

Although, thinking of all this dev has reminded me I'm developing myself. Not porn, but a game, and I wanted to ask where you got the models for these characters? I've been trying to get some low-poly models of my own for a sprite-making process but it's not easy to get a lot of models in similar art styles that I can take screenshots of.

Anyone know how the AI art was created for this?
Stable diffusion

Yeah, I'll try and avoid overcomplicating it when its function is relatively simple and it's more just background padding than anything

The models are just chimaeras of all sorts of different base models and then a couple of own touches and models. The standard merchant sites for this have some pretty good stuff you can build on top of! And best of luck with the game also!

Loving the game and exploration though it does need some guide through various parts of the questlines because I myself can't find where the hell I'm supposed to go sometimes

Also I can't save it says I'm in an event but all of the missions are pretty hard to go through right now especially this slughorn party one so I kinda gave up for the day is there a way to fix this?

It's interesting but right now I'm trying pretty hard to get over the controls and the running around. Haven't really made it too far but it's already getting to me.

Thanks a lot! There are a couple of main events that you are prevented from saving during. In the event that this save prevention state isn't properly turned off, you can put in 'canSave' in the console to fix it. I really don't recommend during this during big event such as Slughorn's party, however. As for directions, I'm looking at commissioning a better map, and get around to recording a complete runthrough

Thank you! And yeah, I can hear that the controls still need some polishing. If you got the time, please do touch on what you think feels janky still

Posted this on discord already but I want to keep you guys updated too. The hotfix is getting worked into the next release. Makes it a bit easier for me since finally I'm getting around to doing a release that sort of returns to the original idea of just Hogwarts student life. While it'll still be present, the overarching main story and the politicking are going to take the background, and instead the focus will be on creating slice-of-life elements and a more interactive and rewarding exploration of the castle and its people. That said there will still be a few big events in form of a Gryffindor tower bathhouse trip and the preparations for Halloween

Huh. So you bought them?

Darn. That kind of thing looks like it can get super expensive super quickly, which is killer when you've got a budget of maybe a thousand bucks.

Imo it should be very viable with that budget if you're buying prefab stuff instead of commissioning new models

Guess I'll look again, then.

Who knows, maybe it'll end up on here. Dunno how much the kids in this place care about Might and Magic, but nothing sayin' I can't make some shitty nude mod.

I mean besides having absolutely no art skills at all.

I had some problems in the lake event. Firstly I'm not sure if I miss some relevant info about the treasure but there is no map and no additional tips? Is that just a free search or not implemented yet? Secondly, I can't start the minigame with the balls and the water, the only interactive part is the guys repeating "so?" or something similar.

Art is nice, but walking aimlessly is a piece of crap, need at least a map pointing me where to go, or a arrow anything

Just a free search with a small reward. Entirely skippable. That particular ball mini game is missing some explanations because it's still a loose implementation of a system I want to improve on the future, but you can levitate the balls by pressing e, and force push them by pressing f

Better map should be coming in next

Amazing game. I just lost all my save because of miss click with datas... i will wait for the next release to restart it !

A the begining i thought "i will never be able to find my way", but after a few quest it was really easier, and pleasant to run in Poudlard like this, without any help. Art is amazing, a bit to much text for me but i will not complain about a developper who want to explain his lore. I really look forward the next updates, good luck and keep making this game even more amazing !

Seriously appreciated this post! Sorry to hear about your save, but there should be a few new things for you in the replay. Thanks a lot for playing!

Nice, i'm not very much into HP universe so navigate the place is really weird, i found the guide and manage to at least get to the charms class XD
Hey that's a start! And yeah can always refer to the guide or ask here or on discord (I'll probably be a bit quicker there) if there's anything until better navigations have been implemented

I don't know if this was asked before but will there be a windowed mode for the game or will it always be full screen
