/jp/ - Otaku Culture

With Gensokyo starting to shape up and with more time on my hands again, I've been relatively inspired to get some more work done. The palanquin now serves as a psuedo-ferry to various landmarks (currently Myouren Temple, SDM, and the Moriya Shrine). Originally I was going to make it a bit like the zeppelin system from WoW where it just operates on a pre-set schedule to different points, but instead decided to let the player choose where they want to go since the map is so large. It can be a speedy/lazy way to get around.

That also winded up leading into something else since it seemed like a good opportunity - I've cooked up a little demo of interactive NPCs, they're a bit more refined now. Ideally they'd be scattered around and offer varying levels of interactivity and dialogue to help bring the world alive. What do you think?
