Hi everyone,
I'm doing my best giving every single NPC a personality and a backstory, but today something came to my mind: does the player actually care?
I mean, does the average player care that the shopkeeper's name is Charles D. Oneal, that he comes from an Irish village that was obliterated by a horde of rampaging demons led by President Camio and he decided to open a grocery store in New London? Does anyone care that he has a lucky penny, some control issues and that he has a crush on the owner of the Hotel next door? Does it matter that while he is both greedy and a coward he is a good person inside and will prove himself when the time comes?
While I enjoy writing a story for every single character that you will encounter in the game, I'm wondering if I'm not just wasting my time as many players will probably not care about a shopkeeper.
What do you think? Am I just wasting time and should focus on the main characters instead?

Tonbi's MZ material factory
That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
