Reached my milestone goal of 100 NPC portraits!!! (more to come). Creating these has been a lot of fun. 5 years in the making! Thanks all who were part of it!
Update 38: NPCs!
Greetings Backers!
NPCs
I recently reached one of my milestones. Creating at least 100 NPC portraits. Each one of these takes on average 2 hours (if I don't get distracted...) I will be creating many more ...
These are the new ones I've added since the last update:
Creating the portraits is one thing... adding the dialogue and NPC to the game is another... The world of Daneth needs farmers and fishmongers and that's what many of these new portraits are. Every farmer or peasant in the game has a unique portrait and dialogue tree. The only exception to this are the disposable town guards.
I've filled out some more of Bainsfield, adding NPCs and furnishings. Below is the town hall.
Quest and Journal Log
I have added a quest log to the game and have moved the journal to the same section. I plan on adding both combat logs and NPC conversation logs as well.
Notes have also been added. They function the same as books but are obviously only 1 page.
Chickens are now in the game. Whenever I say the word "chickens" it always brings me back to that episode of GoT...
Bok... bok... bok... I think I'll take two chickens.
I updated the old city walls to give them some depth. They don't look so much like cardboard cutouts anymore.
... while the log fort walls of Bainfield now look sharper and a little less phallic...
Transitions between different biomes has been greatly improved.

Thanks everyone. I am still focusing on content going forward. I plan on engaging outside help from a writer to help with some story direction.
I hope you are all staying safe!

Meet Sarah, one of the brainwashed cult members of the Children of Eterin.
Thanks to Fellow @ultimadragons cult member, @GallaraDragon for the face
NPC's in Code of The Savage have enemies who they will attack. They can also be aggressive or not. Aggressive NPCs will more likely fight back, while passive NPC's might be more likely to flee.
Uh ohh...
Mycoids are strange fungal lifeforms found in damp caves. It is rumored that drinking their blood will enable you to converse with the gods.
Update 39: Haven Pt 2. NPCs and other stuff
Greetings backers!
This round I did a terrible job of keeping records of changes made to the game... So I am sure I have missed many things in this update...
Haven
Haven is an interesting place. Nestled in a valley that is only accessible via cave; It is the secluded home of the doomsday cult The Children of Eterin - Led by Father Caleb.
The Children of Eterin
Cult member, Sarah
Cult member, Nicolas
Cult member, Samuel
Haven and the Children of Eterin are inspired by various real world cults. Some of the brainwashed inhabitants of Haven struggle with the cognitive dissonance that comes with such cult like belief systems.
New NPC portraits
9 new NPC portraits have been added. 2 of which are remakes of older ones.
New animals and monsters
I have added Mycoids - strange bipedal fungal life forms. It is rumored that drinking their blood will enable you to talk with the gods.
Brown sabre bears and black bears have been added, as well as the common street dog.
Lastly, the abomination - A mutated, bloated monstrosity that isn't terribly friendly... enough said.
Dogs, Sabre bears, black bears, The Abomination, and Mycoids
Ship tile set
I have added a new tile set for the slave ship.
Church of Leysar/The Order
I have made some changes to the concept of the main religion (formerly the Order of Leysar). The Order of Leysar has now been separated into two distinct groups. "The Church of Leysar" and "The Order".
Think of the Church of Leysar as base Christianity, and The Order as a fundamentalist offshoot of the main religion who take it's teachings to violent extremes. (note: The Order is also distinct from the Children of Eterin who worship a different deity.)
The Order were in control of the crown for almost a century during the terrifying Age of Order.
Dewhurst and Bainsfield
I have added many NPCs, dialogues and backstories to the towns of Dewhurst and Bainsfield.
Marjory of Dewhurst, Wife of Lord Reynold
Edith. Farmer in Bainsfield
Cecilia, Tavernkeeper in Bainsfield

Updated the map. The buildings in the towns are now to scale to give you an idea of the size of the world. Some backers of the KS will get a cloth version... Still a WIP
