I've been playing this game and i say it's pretty cute. The relationship stuff definitely helped. I would like to make a few critics + What I'm struggling at is this:
1 — I'm currently putting in the NPCs description, characters the NPCs are close with. With that i mean how they usually act around NPC, how close they are, their personality... it's like I'm merging the definition of two different characters and that fills up a lot of space. And most of the time the NPC gets the character's personality wrong, OR is constantly bragging about them instead! A feature like adding a small side-desc for NPCs character's relationship would be ideal but I'm figuring it would be too much as I'm writing this...
2 — Determining an NPC behaviour, mostly the way it talks (Is your NPC using specific slang? Does your NPC always uses nicknames on characters? Does your NPC usually like to call people in a certain way?) When i write that in the description, It works! But the problem is, the characters the NPC is interacting with ALSO uses my NPC's way of talking! And that's very inconvenient...
3 — This is probably the AI that struggles to read. But when i tell in the description that an NPC's information is currently a secret it won't tell anyone, the AI just brushes it aside and says it openly anyway. Besides this, I feel like the NPCs interaction is too dry and not dynamic. I feel like it focuses too much on emphasizing the NPCs details and make it their whole personality. For example i wrote in one of mine. "NPC is an expert in combat" And can't stop talking about combat in literally any interaction, it makes the conversation not make sense! "NPC1: I made you food. NPC2: Thank you so kind! I'll make sure to eat it all like i do when I'm fighting!" Like??? 😭😭 What does that mean? And then the NPC1 out of the blue "You're so reckless, i worry." And the topic of food gets left out...
Additional note on the relationship side, it would be cool to add Teacher, Aunt/Uncle, Grandpa/Grandma. Because when i put parent it immediately assumes Mom/Dad.
For the rest, everything is perfect and I'm truly enjoying making npcs! Keep up with the good work I'm looking for the updates. ❤️
