It was a joke referring to his title.

Good job, Alter. I haven't actually touched your map at all (working on the NPCs mainly) and it's great to see that you're done with the map.

I haven't actually figured out what to make the NPCs say, though. There's just too little done yet for me to start writing the dialogues out.

One more thing; Weasel, do you think it's a good idea to have a sort of "gossip"-like (I was thinking of Diablo, hehe) dialogue, in addition to selling stuff?

You can see that at the bottom of the shopping list is an option to chat with the shopkeeper. I was thinking that this dialogue is updated as the game progresses (for example, maybe after finishing the first mission he'll say, "good job! Oh by the way, I've got some great new stuff. You're gonna love 'em").

I was also preparing the dialogue code so that it'll be easy to upgrade the shopping list as the game progresses (maybe after each mission, more and more new items will be available, and even maybe some special discounts or something like that).]

Anyway... off to populating the hub map with NPCs!

Awesome.

@Weasel again: Would it be possible for you to provide me an exact list of items the medic and armor smith will be selling?

It doesn't matter if there are any unfinished DECORATE inventory or something, just the name will be enough. For any items that are not done yet, I'll just link them to a dummy DECORATE item.

Yeah, I'll add Strife-script menus to those consoles.

Also I may re-build them to look more 3-d but I'm not too sure yet. We'll see how it goes.

Maybe we can somehow incorporate the prison into one of the missions.

Yeah, shady types should be fairly prevalent in the station. The informant in the prison, and I also planned on having a "shady dealer" character in the warehouse area (which still needs piles of crates and industrial junk lying around, by the way, as it looks extremely empty - and maybe some giant airlock doors on one end).

Progress: Still working on the NPCs, added some detail here and there but nothing major to show.

I'm looking for better sprites to use for the NPCs.

Weasel, what about the list of items to sell?

The items list is probably going to be a perpetual work in progress. I'll post it in a new thread.
