What this class covers
- Placing characters
- Your learner adds the friendly characters who live in the village and positions them around town.
- Sensing when you are near
- The game notices when the hero steps close to a character, so it knows when a chat can begin.
- Press to talk
- Walking up and pressing the action key pops a text box on screen, the game's first real interaction.
Bonus challenges
Optional, just-for-fun challenges to try on your own between classes. Never needed to keep up.
- Add a second character to talk to.
- Show a marker when the hero is close enough to talk.
- Widen the range where talking works.
