Now that all the characters in the demo have been revealed, it might be a good idea to show some in-game features and mechanics! So, for that reason, we've created a video that shows how the inn, building a lot and hanging out with a character works. It's demonstrated with Celia in the following video:
The video is basically unedited, minus a portion of the dialogue in the inn. All the music and sounds are captured from the game. Here's some further information about what is shown (and not) in the video:The current in-game season is winter, which is indicated by the visuals in the town view as well as the music.
In the town view, the player can see who is visiting the inn and for how long when they click on the inn-lot in town. The character who visits usually indicates which building they belong to, so that the player can build it and have them move in to town permanently. It isn't required to have a character visit the inn in order to have them move in, but they can't visit the inn after they have moved in.
When clicking on an unbuilt (but buildable) lot, information about cost and so on appears. Once a lot is built, it cannot be replaced. Immediately when a lot is built, the corresponding character (if there is one) will automatically move in to town. This can be seen when clicking on the built lot, where the owner's name is mentioned, or when looking in the character roster menu in the throne room, as seen in the video.
In the throne room, it's possible to see a list of characters who are available to hang out with. The first hang out event for every character can be played immediately upon them moving in, but the second one is unlocked when the reputation with that character reaches 25 or higher.
