Where in the World Are My NPCs?

Just wrapped up adding a world map to the game! It’s done entirely in pixel art, complete with charming little animations and handy NPC markers so you can track folks down—even when they’re off wandering. As you explore, the map dynamically unveils new regions, rewarding curiosity with a broader view of the world.

This is just a portion of the full map for the demo. More areas are coming soon—including the town, which is currently under extremely enthusiastic construction by the Gnomes. They keep mentioning needing to go back to Gnome Depot for additional materials, so I'm just going to let them have at it.

Character Showcase: Bartholomew

Class: Merchant Guild

Favorite Dish: Cinnamon Ginger Caramels

Description: Some people are known for their warmth, charity, and welcoming hospitality. Bartholomew isn't. Bartholomew enjoys appearing to be knowledgeable and selectively enforcing propriety. He does cook a mean tart.

Voice Actor: Bartholomew is being voiced by the one and only Joel Steudler. In addition to being an excellent composer (and writing all the music for the game), he's also quite the talented voice artist. Have a listen:
