Post Description

It's been a bit over a month since last I posted about this project. I'm still having a mostly great experience using AI tools.

Even though I'm using AI tools, it isn't effortless. Since last time, most of what I have achieved is likely invisible to you as a player. And, frankly that's likely to be expected more often than not. That said, there are some noticeable nuggets for those that have tried the game.

I have added a bit more decision making for the player, adapting the Novice skill as suggested in my previous post. I've also added active skills to all classes. The list is quite a bit longer than this consisting of both smaller tweaks, fixes and complete reworks.

If you've tried the game before and enjoyed it, I hope you will enjoy it even more now. Still, far from finished but I think it is in a fairly playable state.
