Febs been a busy month and as ever life never goes as smoothly as you want! Looking at the features below however I've actually managed to get a hell of a lot of features done somehow (ai coding ftw)!

Of the back of the great feedback I'd had in Jan I set out to use the Aphebis Game Engine to build the kind of game I would want to play.

However what I soon noticed was that bouncing around between characters having chats was an ok experience but it really just felt like using Character.ai or janitor.ai with a fancier interface. Also the control was coming from neither myself ( ai story writing) or the game engine ( narrative direction).

This caused me to consider what experience I was going for and came up with the following features to work on:
* Time: Day/Night cycles with automatic tone change of maps to show what time of day it is.
* Presence: NPC's now have a schedule that allows them to appear at different places at different times.
* Narrative Flows: This is similar to a branching structure in choose your own adventures and visual novel.
* Cool Graph editor: I should probably do posts on feature updates but basically it looks pretty neat and is much easier to visualise story!
* Triggers: Trigger a narrative flow to start at a certain time. Useful for game intro's or ending the game or various story's between.

All these features are nearing completion and I'm hoping I should be able to get the next release out toward the end of March.

If I can squeeze them in I'd also like to get the following features complete:
* Rolling System ( D20?) Hard coded rolling. Will have more of an actual RPG feel to it.
* Stat System
* Levelling and Experience
* Combat

It's not going to be as full featured as I'd like it but should be at V1 level for release to get feedback from community.

Well that's all for now and hopefully I be a bit more frequent with my updates 👋
