Been quiet about PowerQuest but I'm still making improvements while working on Telwynium. Just added some QOL tweaks for previewing character sprites in the scene and jumping into room/character art source files. Just little things to save some extra clicks here and there :)

Felt like some DOS gaming so spent the last few nights playing through Dragon Lore by Cryo. I remember screenshots in a magazine as a kid, wondering what it's like to play. Turns out it's a Myst-lite RPG...thing? Very weird, very Cryo. Charming at any rate! I mean, look at it!

Recently added a feature to PowerQuest's script exporter. You can now preview existing voice lines by clicking them! I've already found it super helpful on The Drifter for testing VO and in recording sessions for other characters (which I'll be casting for soon!)-

Adventure games use a lot of one-off enums for storing puzzle state. So for PowerQuest I made a shortcut for scripting with these, using some fancy c# reflection. Cleans up code like this- if ( Globals.m_bucket == eBucket.HoleRepaired ) Globals.m_bucket = eBucket.Filled;
