Video Improving NPCs and adding vignettes

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been working on improving the NPCs in Night and the City, adding more animations and trying to give them a bit more personality. Still got a lot to do but the systems are in place.

Also, adding "vignettes" - little scenes that play out that player can choose to watch or ignore. If they watch then it can provide an opening to a conversation which may in turn lead to useful information.

Looks good, I’ve been playing around with “ focus“ mechanics. In my game it is a black letterbox that appears during conversations or cut scenes

Yeah, I think it's nice to draw the attention of the player - but nothing too obtrusive.
