I didn't post any progress reports for quite some time, so I decided to show you atleast a little part of what I'm currently working on.
Among other things, my main focus right now is adding a proper intro to the game. This will show you the events between your arrival and Billy making your hideout.
This intro will mainly serve as a story / lore introduction. The gameplay tutorial begins right after it ends, like it does in the current version. Intro sequence will be mostly on rails and focus heavily on cutscenes and dialogue options, where you can ask Billy about the island, different factions, recent events and so on.
You will be able to skip the intro at any time, since it will be pretty much one long cutscene, so you won't have to sit through it if you find it boring or if you are on your second playthrough.
There are some small systems that I will have to add to make this all work, but nothing major. Together with the intro sequence, I will also be expanding existing dialogue topics to other NPCs. No eta. for the next update yet, but I hope I can finish it before christmas.
