Roadmap to 0.5.8.0

Good afternoon!

The week is drawing to a close again. So it's time to go through the progress made so far.

The 0.5.7.5 update is finally complete. As already mentioned, it is more of a demo (as a lot of work went into the required materials) than really much new content. I will deliver that with 0.5.8.0. Of course there were still bugs in 0.5.7.5, I hope they are mostly fixed now, if not let me know and I will fix them.

Next, I started working on the moving scene again. After a failure yesterday (I had intended to include curves in the animation, which unfortunately meant that it was impossible to make a loop out of the animation) I have now achieved a result that is acceptable to me.
Of course not only the background should be moving in the final version, i'm already working on that, but i thought it's ok for a first impression.

Another project I started working on while waiting for the renders is the code for a poker game. After I fixed the plugin code of the blackjack minigame last week and removed a bug that prevented the dealer from being deducted money (I know there is still one that is not calculated correctly in case of a blackjack or multiple win). This makes the card game easier to complete now (before you had to play the dealer down to 0 really precisely).

A poker game however is a different story than a simple Blackjack game. I have to write a logic for npc interaction depending on what they got on their hand and also what the player bets. There are some tutorials for something like that, so I'll put at least monday on it as well. But when I then have the feeling that it's not going anywhere I will probably drop the idea. I guess that is something I'll inform you about next friday. But yeah, it would be cool to have this feature. Could make Grant visit the old boar or in case Toren & co come by this could also be an option. 

The main focus next week will however be the work on new scenes for Kate, Claire and Carmen. So that the whole inn can get some more interactions. There is also a different story I want to tell there that has nothing to do with the travelling to Kirlic. But that is something I'll work on in the week after.

For now I'll finish the travel scene and then it's finally weekend.
That said, I hope you all find some time to relax over the next two days!
