So looking at your post history about the face of Ravy, are you redrawing all of the current scene's that you made so far? Also what are you plans on the next update [repeatable events, public places? etc.]

Yeah, I was thinking about something like that but your ideas are interesting.

No, Ravy's bed scenes are something different. They are there to flesh out Ravy's feeling more. Gallery will be only for reviewing stuff.

I think either way would be OK (referring to the poll). My biggest issue with having choices forced on the player is opportunities to save your game. For example, if you see a character waiting to talk to you vs you walk out a door and are ambushed into making a decision and wondering (when was the last time I saved?) As for the 'repeating events', I found the dish washing quest on my second play though... that was just evil.

After hesitating for a long while, I voted for the second option, even though I love the idea of (some) NPCs (sometimes) acting instead of always just reacting. I guess my idea of enjoyable "NPC actions" sums up to one word : surprise. It's the unexpected part of the thing which makes the charm of it (to me), and it's kind of a true challenge to get right given the technical complexity of a RPG. To elaborate some more, if an NPC or why not a handful of them (if the proper conditions are met ?) suddenly hang out next to Ravy's room everytime she wakes up in the morning (because of that new feature), there is not much of a surprise or enjoyable "NPC action" left to me. It becomes a routine, a bore, and wouldn't add much more than hassle. What I would love to see instead is Ela waking up Ravy in the middle of the night because she is scared from a noise in the guest room (scene!), or Thom getting hurt (right where you're thinking) during his combat mockup training and calling up to Ravy walking nearby for some "doctoring" (scene!), or Aldin stopping Ravy at the gates to "rough" her up a bit under the false pretense of him being ordered by his superiors to conduct a security check of people entering the castle (scene!), etc. These events would only happen once, and should probably be unskippable (but could be dodged : Ravy not caring about Ela, laughing at Thom instead, screaming at Aldin, etc.). Just a couple of examples, and if that's what you meant by NPCs "acting" on their own initiative, then please forgive me for being too cautious or dense, ignore my vote and please please do it ^.^

I like that idea a lot and I think it could really improve gameplay. For the event gallery, what if you tie that it with Ravy in bed at night? She is already thinking of past events anyway. That could be interesting.

Your job is excellent!I hope you will complete the work tasks.Of course, I fully respect your plan..I want to have a complete story, a variety of plot, free choice, this will be a perfect game!

Are you talking about Poll? Well, making them appear in Ravy's room is not more comlicated as giving them new line where they stand so no. If you are talking about gallery, well... It is time consuming but not complicated. And it's not going to happen anytime soon so...

are you sure adding so many things will not extremely complicate thing in the future?
