[u][b]Farmer, Stone Mason, Tailor, Blacksmith, Priest, Barkeep, Family Lines, Volume Sliders[/b][/u] - Lots of new content has been added towards the town progression. We now have 6 new professions and buildings, now totaling 8 buildings and a road system that covers the current town layout. Eventually the town will expand to 16 buildings to include more specific shops, housing and more farms. The farmer will grow food and resources such as tall grass, the stone mason will craft stone related objects, the blacksmith will craft metal related objects, the tailor will craft clothing and bags, the priest will pray for blessings and utilize magic and the barkeep will brew alcohol that provides buffs. As time goes on, more content will be developed around these professions and more will be added. Family lines are also now kept track of. Eventually there will be an interface where you can view your brothers, sisters, etc and see their last conversation with you, their appearance, etc. I'm also playing around with the idea of making nameplates appear different colors based on relation. Volume sliders have also been added to the options menu. From there, you can raise or lower the volume individually for both sound and music. A full list of changes can be found below.
