We’re excited to release the newest version of our Narration module. This is the module that powers the style, tone, and pacing of Franz.

Based on the feedback from our alpha testers, you should notice:

• NPCs have much more personality, feel more dynamic

• Scenarios of NPCs interacting with each other, environment feel more lively

• More realistic dialogue

• Variations in response lengths are more fitting to the situation. i.e, longer response if Franz is introducing an area you’ve just arrived in, shorter if an NPC is talking to you and expecting a response from you.

• Overall increase in intelligence

If you’ve been playing F&F in the last couple of days, surprise! You were actually playing the alpha version. After receiving some good feed back from our testers, we wanted to put it out there to get some of your unbiased feedback. We got reports of responses being too short all the time, memories not being recorded, etc. Those issues should mostly be addressed now. That being said, it’s hard to find all of the edge cases until more of you continue to play and report things. Please let us know if you run into any weird behaviors, we’ll try to fix them ASAP.
