These are all the changes that I wanted to add for now. Next, I'll be working on how to add voice lines to an NPC related to Oak Father's Blessing and the School of the Tree. This may take a while.
Updated roadmap
- voice lines for NPC Treeguy. Lines are created, I just need to figure out how to hook them up
- more voiced lore in the future
- more storybooks - I have a few planned.
- more gear, depending on where storybooks take me. It will always be thematic and discoverable, rather than added to the Tutorial Chest.
- original book covers
- original weapon models, hopefully.
- Companion reactions to certain items
I have more ideas for little storybooks. I love creating them. They are born from something I see or feel in game. That feeling is authentic and I believe the texts do reflect this sincerity.
In the meantime, I am also working on other projects: tattoos, decor chests, on top of projects unrelated to this game.
i'm a fan of Baldur’s Gate 3 environmental storytelling—it's the kind that leaves you staring at a single discarded letter for ten minutes, wondering about the life that wrote it. This mod is my love letter to those quiet moments, and to other modders, whose work I have greatly enjoyed over time.
The notes and books try to avoid being specific because the cool thing about storytelling is that it leaves things for the player to imagine or reflect on.
