Companion NPCs (Alpha Build)

Note that this is an Alpha build, meant to showcase the concept and for bug-testing. Please feel free to leave me feedback as I continue development!

If you're feeling like a real cool dude, you can help my development process by reporting bugs in the posts, or via this google doc.

Companion NPC's allows you to recruit any of the Bachelors or Bachelorettes to be your traveling companion! To recruit them, a farmer must have at least 6 (2 in this version) friendship hearts with them and then exhaust their daily dialogue. To dismiss them, exhaust their dialogue (and kisses if they're your spouse!) and then speak to them once more to access a dismissal dialogue. Companions will also be automatically dismissed at 10pm or when you go to bed. In addition to following you throughout the map, companions also:

• []Have unique location-specific dialogue in many parts of the map.

  []Fight alongside you against enemies

  []Grant buffs and (sometimes) perks according to the table below:

Abigail  +1 Speed. +1 Luck. +10% Attack     

Alex         +20% Attack           100% Warrior Ring effect.

Elliott      +3 Fishing        Occasionally fishes while idle

Emily       +2 Mining         100% Yoba Ring effect after damage. Heals you rapidly when <40% health.

Haley       +2 Luck            +5% exp per gain (minimum +1)

Harvey     Defense += Combat 1. 5          Heals you slowly when <80% health.

Leah        +2 Foraging            Occasionally shares forage.

Maru       +1 Any Stat             Buffed stat is interchangeable

Penny      +3 Farming

Sam        +2 Speed          Let's you listen to his mp3 player if you ask nicely

Sebastian       Same as Abigail           

Shane      +3 Farming

* Indicates that this companion's combat effectiveness progresses with the player's combat level.

For the sake of realism, every NPC is only allowed to hang out on certain days be default. These dates can be changed via the config.json file in this version for testing purposes though. By default, the days are:

Mon    |Tue |Wed |Thu |Fri |Sat |Sun

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Penny Sam Abi    Leah       Alex      Elliott      Emily

Seb  Maru       Haley     Harvey   Shane
