0.1.3 - Conversations and relationships

This was a big one! A fair amount of content, but lots of refactoring to set-up some of the next releases. There's some increasingly complex mechanics here, so I'm expecting a few bugs to come up. Please send them my way and I'll make sure they are resolved before new content releases.

Content

• Charm spell implemented
• New options for getting access to locations and resolving quests through skill options in dialogue and charm spell
• Relationships screen overhaul, with hints on where to find characters and their current relationship status with the main character and your current form
• Reagan and Britney now have conversation topics

Functionality

• Refactored significant part of codebase, to make future content easier
• Overhauled relationship system, so characters view of you (in whatever form) factor into interactions
• Overhauled conversation system, to avoid duplication of dialogue and removal of conversations already had from options (some remain, as they may be critical for other options. Still testing some of these out)
• Introduced dialogue options for skill checks, including system for not passing
• Introduced an event system, triggering events under certain conditions
• Tasks introduced (but not visible in menu yet) so track things that aren’t quests, but allow you to gain favour with NPCs

Known issues

• The amount of options for Andrea interactions has led to some very complex code. I think I’ve got it working, but I’ll refactor this in the next major release. Save delaying this release another two weeks though, I’m going to leave it as it. Please let me know if you encounter issues.
• There’s a known bug where you can get changed for your date, then do something else, and the game will still recognise you in that costume the next day at the date (presuming you’ve changed). Not addressing it in this release, as I’m reworking outfits in an upcoming release anyway.

Next release - 0.1.4 - Events and dreams
