Day 14 - #LOWREZJAM 2018

Alright! Today, I finally tackled a big problem in my game: there being literally nothing to do in the game. Granted, the game is free-form in some way, but a sandbox requires tools to mess around with, and today I finally added them.

So, in full RPG fashion, you can stab things, break things, talk to things, revive things, heal things, and also stab and crush things. Half of the items do have a combat purpose! I probably should have added a mirror that allowed you to swap bodies, but... eh. This'll do.

Because tomorrow, I've got two big projects to wrap up the whole thing: one, finish all the sprites for the character models; two, actually add AI to the game. It doesn't have to be intense AI, just, you know... basic stuff. Make the world feel lively and moving about, you know? And half the sprites need to be filled out, or else they'll be submitted a broken mess. ^^;

So that means I have to complete the overworld AND underworld as best I can. So two dungeons were cut, but surprisingly I was able to add the Sand and Ice dungeons. Snazzy. At least a little fun if you can procure the correct items from them. 

Oh! Important update that I forgot to add to the list below: The starting character is randomized. No more spawning as Cherry standing in the middle of the field: it's truly randomized at this point. ... which is why that mirror item would be really useful, but.... eh. ^^;;;;
