New town, dialog, cut scenes and scene transitions!


There have been a lot of additions with this update.  First you may notice you now start in a town area.  This is a new tileset to provide a new terrain for the user to explore.

In the village are a few townsfolk walking around. Walk up to them and press X to start a conversation!  This is part of the new dialog system to help flesh out the story.

The next big addition is cut scenes.  If you talk to the woman in the red skirt, it will begin a somewhat complex cut scene where she describes her predicament.  It combines walking, waiting and interacting with dialog and uses coroutines to keep everything synchronized.  Figuring out how to do this was probably the biggest challenge in this latest update.

Finally, if you walk out of the village to the east, you will be plunged into the new forest area.  But not just anywhere, you are placed placed at a specific spot related to where you came in.  If you explore the forest, you may find the entrance to the cave which is also using this new system to make sure you end up in the right place after scene transitions.

And that's it for now.  There's still a lot to do, but this is beginning to look like a game.
