So just letting you know how progress is going on this project.
Slow
Ok I'm guessing I should actually say there has been some progress. I'm still working on the full map an descriptions. The map itself is still being created but I have mostly been working on other areas. I've started to get to grips with conversation programming and I also have most of the programming written for character movement for the first NPC. I also have the frameworks created to fill in for changing descriptions and weight gain / stuffing of an NPC.
Oh and I've also been working on a second project which I'm keeping under wraps a bit longer but it will be in Rags not SUDs.
No new release yet but I will release another pre-alpha once the map is finished and the room descriptions are mostly there (note I may have to password protect the next version to help prevent spoilers for those who don't want them)

Update
So weird update, I haven't finished the map, or the room descriptions but I have started to work on the first character.
At present it's very bare bones but I think I've got half the pathing procedure written (yes this game is hopefully going to be more than random number generators). The aim if I can get it programmed is to have some kind of more living world with NPCs which actually have their own things to do.
Ok first I need a small bit more feedback from people on direction.
Down the line, because of the living world idea I'm thinking of adding in a day night cycle, would people want this ?
The basic idea being the NPC behavior would change depending on the time
So the To do list now looks like this.
Finish map + descriptions
Program in variable descriptions for NPC1
Finish pathing procedure for NPC1
Start conversation tree for NPC1
Finish weight gain logic for NPC1 to work with descriptions.

Pre-Alpha 1
Ok so for various reason such as slow development etc I've decided to release something.
This is a pre-alpha version of the game to test opinion
Whats here:
About a third of the map
Whats not here:
Everything else including room descriptions objects and NPCs
What I said it was a pre-alpha version I've included the creator file for people who want to look to see whats there so far (there's really not much)
Hopefully the next pre-alpha version will have the full map and room descriptions and then I can move onto populating the map a bit.
