Since our initial web deployment, we've made significant progress on the game prototype. Here's a detailed list of changes and new features

New Features and Improvements:

1. Updated README.md: Comprehensive updates to the README to better reflect the current state of the project and provide clearer instructions for contributors.
2. Health Points (HP) Logic & UI:
   • Implemented a health system for the player and NPCs.
   • Added a visual representation of health in the UI, allowing players to monitor their HP during interactions and combat.
   • You can test this yourself by pressing the "Debug Reduce Health" button
3. Inventory System:
   • Players can now collect and manage items within an inventory.
   • The inventory UI has been designed to be user-friendly and accessible from the pause menu. (In this version, you'll begin with no items. Interact with the chest near the minotaur to grab a potion and a sword)
4. Game Over Screen:
   • Introduced a game over screen that appears when the player's HP reaches zero.
   • Provides options to restart the game or return to the main menu.
5. Menu System:
   • Developed a main menu for navigating game options.
   • Includes options to start a new game, and access settings. More options to be added in future versions
6. Blocking Movement in Dialog Window:
   • Added logic to prevent the player from moving while interacting with NPCs in the dialog window.
   • Ensures a more immersive and focused interaction experience.
7. Loading Screen:
   • Implemented a loading screen to enhance the game's polish and provide feedback during longer load times. You should see it when you begin a new game
8. Work-in-Progress Features:
   • Improved NPCs: Ongoing work to make NPCs more dynamic and interactive.
   • Conspiracy and Secrets: Started integrating deeper narrative elements involving conspiracies and hidden secrets in the town of Scrapheap.
   • Due to having few NPCs, they cannot be tested fully at this time.

Bug Fixes:

• Resolved various minor bugs and glitches to improve overall gameplay stability.

We look forward to your feedback and contributions as we continue to develop Fallout1DemoAI. There's isn't much of a game now, but I hope you enjoy playing it regardless!
